    Asif Vali isn’t that the short chubby guy that was there from the start of Khan’s career? And was rid off after he lost to Prescott?

      Neither of them should have gotten paid for that anyway.

        If Khan was swindled out of money, then I think the Brook fight now has a good shot at happening.

        Khan has been saying he doesn't need the Brook fight because these Saudi Arabia fights (against tomato cans) are going to pay him well. The big fish fight that Khan wanted in Saudi Arabia was Pacquiao, which was supposed to pay both a huge retirement fund. But Pacquiao definitely won't take that fight after this.

        Now it looks like the biggest is against Kell Brook in the UK.

          Why do you think no fights have been happening over there or Dubai, despite big offers coming in for certain fighters in recent years? It’s a different ballgame over there but most were smart enough to know that and not do it.

          The WBSS did it but it was their own show still.

            By all means, go move there and have the Salmon crew as your leaders.

              But the Saudi's came thru with the money. It was Khan's business partners that swindled him

                Pay Khan his money or he'll have to take the law into his own hands.

                    Sure but they have different laws there. Like I was there, and I was warned, if you hit someone with your car even if that someone jumped right in front of you, it's your fault. The logic was that if you didn't go there, then it would never have happened, lol.

                      I feel more sorry for Dib, he took a pasting and is not massively wealthy
                      I aggree about Dib, poor guy ...
