Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Hearn is Pissed Off, But I Control My Own Destiny

[Oshio]

Amir Khan has not done badly following his heart. I hope he will not regret it by the time Crawford discombobulate him

[EasternEuroFan]

Hearn's selfish as hell to not even act like he's happy for Khan fighting Crawford which is a better fight than Brook and more at stake.

That's one way to look at it.

But when Hearn signed Khan, it was partly to get the Brook fight done which Khan was on board for. Hearn pays him handsomely for 2 fights against nobodies while building that fight and then Khan *****s him off.

Anyway, i'm glad Khan does what he wants and not the property of a promoter, but you can see why Hearn might be unhappy it from his side of things.

I'm no Hearn fan, but one thing he does have is loyalty to his fighters and i think he will probably think Khan isn't really a man of his word or intentions.

Anyway, who cares. The Brook v Khan fight isn't that appealing these days anyway.

[thack]

So he planned on joining matchroom to get an offer from Crawford at Top Rank?

I mean fair play to Khan and definitely the right fight to take if he thinks he's got a chance but acting like this is all part of some master plan is a bit much.

There's definitely no master plan other than to avoid Brook until the very last if at all. This just fell in to his lap as nearly all the other guys are tied up.What he's doing here just simply makes sense , he will probably get both as Brook doesn't seem to have much of any other a plan these days. I refuse to put any money in this lads pocket based on all the bollocks this one has put us through so it will be a stream but on this occasion good luck to him.

[whatismyname]

he's gonna lose either way bro. Brook knocks him out and so will Crawford. At least with Crawford it will be a P4P level fighter as opposed to Brook building himself back up

I think he will fight Brook after Crawford, and I am also favoring both Crawford and Brook to beat him. I'm just saying I'm gald he is doing it his way, and actually rolling the dice and daring to be great. That's what it's all about.

[lolpz]

Exactly. Ducking to fight an even bigger name on an even bigger [world] stage.

Brook should have forged his own career instead of aligning himself to Khan's.

I forgot to mention Brook and Khan aren't even in the same division lmao.

Brook is #1 contender to Jarrett Hurd at 154...Khan fights at 147 and began his career at 135.

What are people even talking about? I swear people just hate Amir Khan for NO reason. Guy would have won every fight he ever lost had it gone the distance and had he not gotten caught/knocked out.

Guy has stepped up and fought damn near everybody...even Canelo at middleweight ffs. He was outboxing Canelo at middleweight, won every round before getting knocked out. To even take that fight having the chin he has. To even have the confidence and go out there box the way he did before he got caught.

Stop the madness lol. You can't sit there and hate on the dude when he STILL is out chasing the big guns and you can never count him out against anybody unless he gets caught. He's got a good chance at an upset if he's got anything left and has learned from his mistakes in the past.

PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME.

[Dean_Razorback]

yes eddie, amir is in charge. he chooses who KOs him, deal with is

[super-x]

Fair play for taking the riskier fight... with brook he had a 50/50 chance of winning. Against Crawford i give him ZERO chance, esp at this stage of his career. Khans chin is weakest its ever been, this showed in the vargas fight. At this point you dont have to be a puncher to hurt khan. All roads point to Crawford ko/stoppage inside 6.

[sportbuddha]

Khan is doing the right thing for himself.

It’s easy to forget that a fighter is just doing their job and just like anyone they want to wake up in the morning motivated. Going after a title, big challenges as the underdog and big US stages are what drives Khan, so I thought he’d choose Crawford given the option. He might have the skill to frustrate crawford for a few rounds, especially if Crawford under prepares or takes him lightly.

[robbyheartbaby]

If Khan wins I would be mind blown. Crawford is just way better at this stage of their careers.

[artfuL_]

That's really not even true.

Who knows if Eddie would've agreed to sign him if he knew 100% he wouldn't fight Brook.

But I'm not sure why Khan has the fan base he does but that is the only reason he can do what he does. They deserve some sorta reimbursement for taking care of Khan for all these years.

There is nothing inaccurate with my statement.

A fighter can choose to fight whoever he wants - they are the ones getting in the ring. It's up to the promoter along with manager to make it come together.
