Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Returning To The Sport, Matchroom Bound

[Tygshsu]

Is there a Wembley size stadium in the North? 'cause this is a Wembley level fight. They could take the fight to Cardiff in Wales, would sell out all the same.

I just hope Hearn doesn't screw Brook and delivers this fight for him. Brook was a good soldier and made a lot of money for Hearn... he deserves this fight.

How the Hell is Khan-Brook a Wembley fight,It's a fight for Sheffield,Bolton,Maybe Manchester.

I could see Hearn trying to secure Khan vs Horn

Hearn has good relations with Arum, which Haymon didnt

why would arum make khan vs horn when he is going to sacrifice horn to give crawford his belt at 147. This signing means it's almost guaranteed we will see Khan vs Brook. Expect to see khan face garbage fighters to knock off the rust and then to face Brook. Doubt he faces anyone with a pulse until he cashes out with Brook first.

i know hes deluded but ive supported khan right from the amateur days and will continue to do so. HOpefully he gets some momentum back and see him in some big match ups, he can still be a player in the welterweight division.

I’m the same and if you listen to all the major trainers and boxers talk about him, they all know he’s an excellent boxer, he just can’t live with punchers and unfortunately everyone at the top off his division can punch, so he’s vulnerable. But, like you I enjoy his bouts and want to see another one like Peterson before he’s done.

Yet another show of delusion.Yes it's a seems like the best way to get in the news with Britain's top promoter and the fighters he could support on top bills but it really is typical Khan.What little interest there is in Khan was who he would be fighting not who will be promoting.Completely sick of this idiot.

[Sir_Didymus]

Same here. I hate him in many ways, he's dumb, seems to lie and says a lot of dumb ****.

However I will have to say that he does come to fight and tries his best.

Maidana fight for me was his best fight and it was a great one.
Peterson was good too.

Looks like there's a few of us that feel this way. Dislike a lot of the non boxing related stuff that is always associated with Khan but as a boxer I'll always respect him as a throwback boxer who comes to fight, throws hands with anyone regardless of his weaknesses and you'd have to snatch his soul or have the referee call it off to get him out of there.

These type of boxers rarely get paydays so to see one who has become one of the richest boxers of recent times is refreshing.

Saying that though if this news is true Hearn has just admitted defeat for the very first time with Khan.

There is absolutely no way Khan would work with Hearn unless it favours him financially extremely well. More than he deserves.

I think this is Hearn trying to send a message to Warren if it's true. If Warren signed Khan his stable would have been very solid. Hearn just signed, if true, someone with a way bigger social media profile than Joshua (that's a fact) and that means more money to be generated.

Imagine a card of Joshua vs Fury and Khan vs Brook as the two co-main events? That would break a few records and possibly set all fighters up for life aswell as cementing Hearn as the number one promoter in the UK.

Hearn has always been outwitted by Khan which is hilarious considering how dim Khan is. Khan even pretty much singlehandedly pushed for Brook to fight better opponents and broke him. Twice. Literally. LMFAO!!

A victory for Khan. A draw for Hearn since he'll recoup his losses. A loss for Brook because Khan has the profile to bring over big American names to the UK and continue to get the paydays Brook has always envied with Khan.

Poor Brook. LMFAO!! At least Brook can get a bit more money since if the fight does happen with Khan it will be an in-house deal so all the cash will stay in-house more to go around.

I'm still finding this hard to believe since a lot of folks do not understand how much of a shock this actually is and what it means financially. This is huge if true.

I refuse to believe this unless it's official. I'm still guessing it's Frank Warren and BoxNation that have offered Khan a deal or ITV even since Khan has seriously been working a lot with them recently. Like he was on ITV just yesterday.

Good point

Khan will more than likely have a tune up,but word is a Broner fight maybe next, which is not a tune up and a dangerous fight for a ring rusty inactive Khan.

Hearn might not make the Brook fight happen, he could make a killing of just feeding Khan C level - B level boxers.

There was a point when Hearn was loyal to Nathan Cleverly, and was siding with him over Tony Bellew, but now Hearn is Tonys best mate. Hearn is not a loyal guy, Brook maybe be a fight away from retirement.

No he can't! Khan is washed up and he'll get his ass beat by all the top welterweights.
I'll even say Jeff Horn beats his ass!

This has got to be smack in the face to Oscar also

Why? Why would Oscar care what Khan does. He has no use for him anymore. He got what he needed out of him. He already fed him to Canelo and that's all he wanted Khan for...

[NC Uppercut]

so.... what do we get? khan-brook?

Finally......in another 3 years! Lol

Maybe because there was rumors flying around that Goldenboy is looking to sign a few big names for their stable? Khan and Mikey Garcia were two names they were looking at apparently. Khan was being eyed up by a lot of networks and promoters but Oscar can't make the same waves as Hearn/Warren in the UK. Besides, Oscar already worked with Khan in the UK against Hearn in the McCloskey fight.
