Comments Thread For: Khan Considering $5M Top Rank Offer To Fight Crawford 3/23

[buddyguns]

Personally, I think Crawford should fight Collazo and Khan in the same night for $5,000,000. Diggstown style! Whoever lasts the most rounds with Crawford gets $4 mill, and the other guy gets $1 mill.

[buddyr]

Khan is now just taking money to get his azz whipped.

[xhiddenx87]

Khan - $5 Million
Danny Garcia - $3 Million

Guess the Garcia offer wasn't real.

Guess who has more star power

Why is no one mentioning that Top Rank is supposedly trying to put Craw-Khan on ppv, literally one week, just seven days, after Spence-Mikey is on ppv?!? That is the shocking part. espn and Arum think it is a good idea to have this be on ppv seven days after a different ppv? Really? ppv's on back-to-back weekends?

Does anyone think this would come close to Spence-Garcia's numbers? This doesn't make much sense and runs a very real risk of the Craw-Khan ppv bombing. Losing espn money and giving Spence a lot of leverage in any talks of Spence-Craw. It seems to be a very risky move.

Anyone buying a mismatch like Spence vs Garcia is a fool.

And Craw-Khan isn't a mismatch??? Mikey is a four-division champ who beat the #1 fighter at 140 two fights ago. So a four division champ, who is the best one division lower, is a mismatch? For moving up one more division? I'm not saying Spence-Mikey is really ppv worthy, but it is a more competitive matchup than Craw-Khan.

You must think very low of Craw. I think he is over-rated, but even I realize he ko's Khan without any real problems.

Mikey Garcia-Khan right now. Who wins? Me and the vast majority of people would pick Mikey.

Yes it does make sense EVERYBODY loves to see Khan knocked out again, he made Canelo look like a monster so great fight for Crawford. What earth made them think they could take on Crawford last fight for him Khan.

Khan trying to find a route out o٥f the Brook fight again? Not sure whether correct response should be cluck cluck or quack quack, maybe both. Can't say I'm surprised though, as I am among the cynics of this world.

Just as everyone slated him when the Canelo fight was announced, I don't see it that way. If you're fighting a p4p fighter I don't really care who you're "ducking" because it's not ducking or chickening out unless your skipping out to fight a nobody opponent. Brook isn't a nobody, but compared to Crawford he is. If I was Khan I'd to the same, reward is huge of he wins loss is small of he gets KOed again. The opposite is true out he fights Brook.

If by some miracle he manages to get through without getting knocked out by Bud he'll get credit, if he gets knocked out or even wins against brook everyone it's just gonna say Brook is washed up after the losses to Spence and GGG. If he loses everyone will just say they knew he was afraid all along.

This is vs a converted kickboxer. Afterward he ran back down to 135 being quoted saying 140 pound guys have a size advantage over him. Now you tell me what chance he has vs Spence. At least Khan has a very slim chance of outpointing Crawford and they are around the same size. Also you sound like a fool rating Lipinets number 1 at 140.

[PeterinMI]

We are never going to see Brook / Kahn. Crawford is going to make Kahn go to sleep and it will be in spectacular fashion. After that it will take a few years for Kahn to gather his bravado and convince himself and others he is still worth seeing. At that point there will be no point to it all.

Maybe Amir Khan won't fight Kell Brook next after all. Multiple sources have informed BoxingScene.com that promoter Bob Arum's Top Rank Inc. has offered Khan a $5 million guarantee to challenge Terence Crawford for Crawford's WBO welterweight title March 23 at Madison Square Garden. Before an intermediary reached out to Khan recently on Top Rank's behalf to gauge the British star's interest in facing Crawford, it appeared Crawford would make an optional title defense against Luis Collazo on March 23 at The Garden.

All depends on The contracts that DAZN has. Just like Gvozdyk could fight in showtime because Top Rank lost the purse bid.

Again, purse bids are different. What are you going to do? Not have your fighter fight or defend the title and just vacate if it is the latter?

Hearn kept saying Matchroom is exclusive to DAZN. Just need more clarity in what he meant there. Is it just Matchroom USA fighters that can only fight on DAZN minus if they lose the purse bid? Was he out of line saying that? What is it?
