Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Has Decided To Fight Crawford, Likely April 20 At MSG

[Eff Pandas]

Lmfao I knew this mfer wasn't gonna give Brook the satisfaction of a fight. Sh^t is hilarious. Amir is like Lucy holding the football for Kell as Charlie Brown.

I foresee Khan on the ground maybe with his soul leaving his body again in April. I'm sure some cats are gonna hype Khan up as the guy who's gonna take Bud's 0, but I see this as a 80/20 fight & its hard for me to see a path to victory for Khan.

WTF!! Crawford is having a tough time getting good fights.

Let's be fair, the land is pretty barren as a Welterweight if you're not fighting on PBC cards.

Judging by the current landscape, i struggle to see how Crawford is going to land any big Welterweight fights. It's not even like he or any of the others are big enough stars to the point where one promoter or network can overpay and make another an offer they can't refuse to jump ship for a fight. Although Crawford v Spence or something would be big in the boxing world, it wouldn't move the needle outside of that.

As things stand, this is the kind of opponent we can expect for Crawford for the foreseeable Future.

So they lowballed Garcia with 3 mill, but offered the guy that Garcia KTFO 5 mill? Hmm..yeah that makes sense.

Garcia is the much bigger and better fighter, would have been a better fight. Instead we get to see Khan get KTFO AGAIN and he will come back with the excuse that Crawford is the P4P best and he will still think he deserves a fight with Brook. Brook should move on and forget this chump.

"Top Rank had tried to secure Danny Garcia as Crawford’s opponent prior to reaching out to Collazo.

Philadelphia’s Garcia (34-2, 20 KOs) was offered a $3 million guarantee to challenge Crawford. Angel Garcia, Danny’s father/trainer, never responded to Top Rank’s offer, however, which made Arum’s team explore other opponents.

They later offered Khan a $5 million guarantee to face one of the best boxers in the sport."

That does not make any sense at all! Why would TR offer Khan more money than DSG? Danny went 12 with Thurman and Porter! Khan barely beat Samuel Vargas! WTF?

Say what you want about Khan, the dude got some cojones. The Brook fight will always be there and Khan will have a shot here with his speed and length. Now the question is what will the other beggar do, probably fight another bum and go back to begging for a Khan payday again. Khan playing God here deciding when he will choose to bless Brook, personally I love it cos Brook needs to fight a live fight as well. Now most don't think about this but I think there is a method to khan's madness. Khan sees major money in the Brook fight and he is actually angling to co-promote or take a lead role in promoting that fight with this being maybe his last fight with Eddie Hearn. He is the big name and he is basically the fight. Those other two need him more than he needs them. I honestly believe that's what he is doing.

I think it's fair to say Khan v Brook is never happening, and i don't mind either. The ship has sailed anyway.

If Brook is serious about continuing, he should get focused and see what he can do at 154. Not sure if he's damaged goods now, he looked it in his last fight but if he can regain his form, he is still a very good fighter and would be a decent addition to 154.

There is no path to victory! Sadly, Khan is probably the best WW Crawford has faced! Can you explain why TR offered DSG 3M and Khan 5M?

Brook better be ringing Eddie's phone off the hook for a good opponent. Hopefully he sticks to his word when he said this is it for the Khan fight

does Eddie have anyone at 154 for Brook?
