Amir Khan: I'm Never Going To Fight Kell Brook

Amir Khan (left) and Kell Brook (right)

Amir Khan, fresh off his devastating defeat in the ring against fellow pugilist, Canelo Alvarez, has again decided to spurn the chance to fight fellow Briton, Kell Brook (Canelo Alvarez Wins Amir Khan Bout Via Knockout Now Faces Risky GGG Slugfest). There has been talk of this fight for years, with Brook offering many concessions to make it happen and a $5,000,000 purse thrown at Khan. Make no mistake, if it did happen, the fight would be a big draw in London, England. 

However, each time negotiations start to get anywhere after Khan shows some interest, he does not commit to fighting Brook. Khan has laid out extraordinary terms guaranteed to scupper the fight (Amir Khan Lands Canelo Alvarez Fight After Asking For 80% Of The Purse To Take On Kell Brook Destroys The Deal).  

Today, Khan sent the strongest signal yet, indicating he does not want to step in the ring with Brook by flat out saying he will never fight him. Khan stated in an interview, "Eddie Hearn (Brook's promoter) keeps saying Brook is a big draw, but he's not. I respect him, he's got a world title, but he's not a big name. He's gone down his route, I've gone down my route and I don't like him. I want to fight the biggest names, leave a great legacy and I've only got a few fights life. I was outboxing Canelo for six rounds, so I can go straight into another big fight. So I don't think the Kell Brook fight will happen."

The thing that concerns me is the type of fights Khan is taking. I stated in the months leading up to the fight that Khan was taking a massive risk fighting Canelo. That fight could have put him in the hospital or worse. The right hook Canelo leveled Khan with, sending him crumpling to the canvas, would have dropped most middleweight fighters, particularly a boxer who has experienced knock out problems in the past. The Brook fight is a good idea. However, if Khan doesn't want the fight, there is not much that can be done, unless it becomes a mandatory situation. Given Khan's recent losses, it is not likely at this time.

Kell Brook

 

Khan cannot keep taking these dangerous fights or his health will go. Khan's fights need to be better matched for the sake of his health and career. Me personally, I'm not gonna challenge Laila Ali to a fight, but I would take a about against 4 foot tall Arianna Grande, cause I know I can win that without even trying. I'd jack up Arianna Grande, but Laila Ali, not so much (LOL I'm just kidding).

Amir Khan: Kell Brook fight will never happen, says Bolton fighter 

 Bolton's Khan and Sheffield's Brook have been circling each other for years and when the latter won a world title in 2014, a match-up seemed inevitable. However, despite not owning a world title himself since 2012 and losing for a fourth time on Saturday, Khan has always insisted Brook is not at his level. Instead, Khan, 29, is likely to take a rematch with American Danny Garcia, the WBC welterweight champion who knocked him out four years ago.

Despite being knocked out in brutal fashion by Avarez in Las Vegas, Khan gave a good enough account of himself to make a match against Brook compelling. But Brook, 30, will have to look elsewhere for his next payday, with a unification bout against WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas most likely. Brook tweeted "I'm here, all-British showdown" after Saturday's fight, but said on Monday that it "wasn't safe" for him to fight Khan...

Ticket Sales For Floyd Mayweather's Fight Against Andre Berto Are Lackluster

Floyd Mayweather and Andre Berto. As it stands, many think experienced and evasive Floyd will win, turning Andre into Andrea in the ring. Andre, for his part, is indicating he is determined to put up a fight.

Reports on several websites indicate ticket sales for the Floyd Mayweather v. Andre Berto fight are lackluster. According to ESPN, many tickets are still available, even lower priced seats in the venue. In the August 13, 2015 article "Boxing Fans Upset Floyd Mayweather Chose Andre Berto For His Last Fight" the Judiciary Report expressed its view the match would not be a big draw among fans, as many were complaining at the announcement. One month later sales are reflecting the Judiciary Report's view as correct. However, I will watch Mayweather v. Berto.

When Mayweather, the world's richest athlete, announced he would fight moderately known Berto for his last bout, it was met with mixed feelings in the boxing world. No disrespect to Berto, who is a good fighter, but fans wanted Mayweather's last fight to be a big one, against a name such as the Philippines' Manny Pacquiao (rematch).

Andre Berto and Floyd Mayweather

Another top draw fans wanted is Kazakhstan's Gennady Golovkin, also known as GGG. He would have been a good choice, but Mayweather Sr. stated he is too big ("We not fixin to fight no damn giant" LOL). Mayweather against Cuba's Guillermo Rigondeaux would have been special. Rigondeaux and Mayweather are not in the same weight class. However, if Rigo bulked up, adding 25-pounds in weight and the fight was made, it would have become a classic bout. 

Britain's Kell Brook (the IBF champ) or Amir Khan would have made for entertaining match-ups against Mayweather. However, (Floyd has been stringing Amir along and it wasn't pretty (LOL). A fight against Mayweather fellow American protégé, Adrien Broner, would have been interesting too. Mayweather fighting Mexico's Leo Santa Cruz, if the latter made weight, would have been a top rated slugfest (Santa Cruz throws and lands so many punches, it must be like getting hit by two guys in the ring at the same time). 

Andre Berto, boxing's top executive Al Haymon and Floyd Mayweather

Side Bar: I just realized, Adrien Broner is America's Tyson Fury, giving outrageous quotes in interviews, verbally slamming other boxers and not caring about the press fallout.

Andre Berto and Floyd Mayweather

Boxing welterweight champion and the richest athlete in the world, Floyd Mayweather, upset fans when he chose lesser known Miami boxer, Andre Berto, for what is being promoted has his last fight (but who knows, he's still at the top of his game). Many wanted a rematch against Mayweather's top rival, Manny Pacquiao. Their first outing grossed Mayweather upwards of $250,000,000. Pacquiao earned an estimated $120,000,000 from the fight.

Andre Berto, Al Haymon and Floyd Mayweather

Fans also wanted a Mayweather bout against Amir Khan (who should fight IBF champ Kell Brook) or Gennady Golovkin also known as GGG (Golovkin's upcoming fight against Lemieux has broken the presale ticket record at Madison Square Garden, which is impressive). Khan has been chasing Mayweather for so long. It's a wonder Khan didn't flip out and put Mayweather or Berto in a headlock when the announcement was made (LOL).

Floyd Mayweather 

To be fair, Haitian-American Berto has a good record (34-3) and is a welterweight champion. Berto has not lost a fight since 2011 and that bout was to formidable Victor Ortiz. The 31-year-old is happy he has been chosen for the fight, as it will introduce him to a wider audience and grant him a lucrative payday. Berto's purse for the Mayweather fight is said to be $3,000,000. Mayweather purse for the fight is estimated to be between $18,000,000 to $35,000,000.

Floyd Mayweather Protégé Adrien Broner Loses Fight To Shawn Porter

25-year-old champion boxer, Adrien "About Billions" Broner, who is an unofficial protégé of the world's top boxer, Floyd Mayweather, suffered a defeat in the ring on Saturday, June 20, 2015, in Las Vegas, Nevada, to Shawn "Showtime" Porter. Broner's record is now 32-2. Porter's record is now 28-1, his only loss to undefeated British-Jamaican boxer, Kell Brook.

Broner had the potential to win the fight but showed up too late and came in unprepared, unfocused and not taking Porter seriously enough

Many thought Broner would win the fight, but he didn't unleash until the final two rounds of the fight, with a left hook to the chin knockdown in round 12. However, by that time Porter had outboxed. Broner won the fight in a unanimous decision. As the Judiciary Report has stated in the past, Broner is a talented boxer, but he is not focused. Broner has the talent to become a boxing great, but he spends his time outside the gym having sex with various women and partying. His focus is split and his energies are being wasted. Broner even has a sex tape of a threesome that ended up on the internet.

When you have a boxer in that frame of mind, with those negative habits, it will damage their careers. They will skate through earlier fights, but when the challenging bouts come they will lose. There's no polite way to put it, you can't box and chase whores. It will catch up with you when you least expect it. However, early wins in a boxer's career can deceive him into thinking he can handle the women, partying and training, but it doesn't work that way. Something will give and it is usually the career. And if there are gold diggers in the picture, so will the finances.

Amir Khan Wins Bout Against Boxer Chris Algieri And Wants To Fight Floyd Mayweather For The Undefeated Pugilist's Last Match

Khan v. Algieri

This is a follow up to the April 6, 2015 article "Amir Khan Dodging Boxers Kell Brook And Timothy Bradley" where the Judiciary Report stated, "If Khan loses to undefeated Brook, his chances of fighting the retiring Mayweather or resurgent Pacquiao are greatly diminished. They will seek to fight Brook instead. Fighting formerly undefeated Algieri is less of a risk. Pacquiao gave a roadmap on how to beat Algieri in his recent win against him and Khan will use that blueprint."

Chris Algieri and Amir Khan

So said, so done. Two months later, Khan used Pacquiao's blueprint and beat Algieri in a unanimous decision this past weekend in New York. The fight was watched by 1,200,000 viewers on the Spike cable channel in America. It's not pay-per-view, which is far more lucrative, but it is still a large audience for a smaller transmission fee in television rights.

Amir Khan

Khan is once again seeking to fight Mayweather, who has one fight left before retirement. However, a bout with Khan would not be the most lucrative for Mayweather's last fight (unless he decides he is not going to retire, as he is still in top physical condition and fighting well). A rematch against Filipino boxing star, Manny Pacquiao, would be the most lucrative bout, garnering another huge payday, after Mayweather won during their first outing in May. Still, one can't blame Khan for trying.

Amir Khan Dodging Boxers Kell Brook And Timothy Bradley

Amir Khan

The IBF declared American pugilist, Timothy Bradley, the mandatory Amir Khan must fight in an eliminator bout, where the winner would take on undefeated welterweight titleholder, Kell Brook. Khan declined the fight in a move that has tongues wagging. Bradley beat Filipino legend, Manny Pacquiao, due to controversial scoring, but was defeated in the subsequent rematch.

Fellow British boxer, Kell Brook, has been requesting a fight against Khan, but he has repeatedly dodged him at every turn. Brook and his team offered Khan $7,500,000 for a May 2015 title fight at London’s famed Wembley stadium, but he declined. Last week, Khan announced he would instead fight American boxer, Chris Algieri, who was recently defeated by Pacquiao.

How Amir Khan is looking at Kell Brook and his team (LOL)

Brook became angry at the announcement stating, "If someone said to me you can get five million quid, a world title, fight at Wembley with a fight that every fan wants to see, it's a no-brainer for me. He's fighting Algieri who didn't win a round against Pacquiao, a feather puncher, not a big puncher. It doesn't make sense to me. I'm world champion, I'm calling him out, we want the fight, there's a word title and a bagful of money and it doesn't make sense that he's fighting this guy who's bringing nothing to the table."

Brook believes Khan's declination of the fight against him does not make sense. However, to Khan it does and for this reason. Khan wants to fight top dogs Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, as they are the most famous in the division, guaranteeing the biggest payday as well. In boxing it is a big deal to be able to state you fought Mayweather and or Pacquiao. Those are historic bragging rights. If Khan loses to undefeated Brook, his chances of fighting the retiring Mayweather or resurgent Pacquiao are greatly diminished. They will seek to fight Brook instead.

Kell Brook

Fighting formerly undefeated Algieri is less of a risk. Pacquiao gave a road map on how to beat Algieri in his recent win against him and Khan will use that blueprint. There is no blueprint for beating Brook, as he is undefeated. There exists too much risk for Khan to fight Brook at this time due to these facts (even though the Judiciary Report is of the belief Brook vs. Khan in London this summer would be a fantastic fight that deserves to be made).

As stated in past articles, in boxing all it takes is one punch to mess up a career (then comes the arduous but workable rebuilding after such a defeat). Brook needs to focus on getting an audience with Mayweather and or Pacquiao and not wait around for Khan. Try to get a fight with the legends as well.

Kell Brook vents frustration: Khan-Algieri makes no sense

By Wil Esco on Apr 3, 2015, 10:49a 151- Kell Brook admits he's frustrated with the whole Amir Khan situation, and thinks the Algieri fight isn't worth a damn. The back and forth between Kell Brook and Amir Khan seems to be a never-ending saga that has gone on for years now. Ever since Brook picked up the IBF welterweight title, thinking that would give him the standing to demand a Khan fight, the war of words started heating up. When Amir Khan announced yesterday that he would be fighting Chris Algieri next, Brook wasn't at all pleased.

"If someone said to me you can get five million quid, a world title, fight at Wembley with a fight that every fan wants to see, it's a no-brainer for me," 28-year-old Brook told BBC 5 Live."

"He's fighting Algieri who didn't win a round against [Manny] Pacquiao, a feather puncher, not a big puncher. It doesn't make sense to me.

Khan, 28, had previously reached out to Boxing Scene to categorically refute the claims. However, the IBF Championships Chairman confirmed that Khan had indeed been offered the fight with Bradley and that it had been rejected on his behalf by his team.

Floyd Mayweather And Manny Pacquiao Meet At A Miami Heat Game As Deadline Draws Near For Megafight

Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather finally meet after years of trash talking each other in interviews and on social networking. Floyd is looking at Manny like he found the mythical Lochness monster (LOL). Manny looks all tranquil.

Two legendary boxers finally met each other. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather met courtside at a Miami Heat basketball game this week. The two sat on opposite sides of the court, but ended up speaking to each other and exchanging telephone numbers. Sports commentators and fans on social networking were happy at the news, as it gave hope the two will finally step into the ring in a boxing bout.

 

Mayweather and Pacquiao hug each other

For years the two sides have openly argued about terms of a potential fight, but nothing materialized. Two weeks ago Pacquiao stated he gave Mayweather a January 31, 2015 deadline to sign a contract to fight him or he would go elsewhere. A week later Pacquiao met up with British boxer Amir Khan in London, which attracted a lot of attention.

 

Pacquiao and Mayweather exchange numbers

The informal meeting between Pacquiao and Khan made headlines, as publications announced the two pugilists are in talks for a boxing match. It certainly got Mayweather's attention. Mayweather should fight Pacquiao. It's only fair to the fans who have made them rich. Pacquiao should also fight Amir Khan. It would make for good boxing. Khan should also fight Kell Brook.

Boxer, Amir Khan, 28,  is desperate to fight lightweight world champion, Floyd Mayweather, 38, who has not lost a single fight to date. Mayweather has been toying with Khan. It mushroomed into a social networking fight last year, when Mayweather chose Marcos Maidana in Khan's stead, handily beating him in Las Vegas.

Mayweather is now eyeing up a battle against top rival, Manny Pacquiao, 37, leaving Khan upset once again. After Mayweather flatly stated Khan's name holds no weight, the boxer donned a mask of his rival and stated, "Shut up and fight me." You tell Mayweather stuff like that, it just may turn into a street fight (LOL). Khan needs to fight fellow Brit, Kell Brook, as it would be a good match-up and he is keen to enter the ring against him.

It is understood undefeated five-division world champion Mayweather is ready to complete terms with Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum in Los Angeles on Friday for a May 2 superfight.

But Briton Khan is keen to muscle in, attempting to goad the 37-year-old WBC and WBA welterweight champion into taking him on instead of the 36-year-old Filipino WBO holder. In a video seen exclusively by Sportsmail from boxing suppliers RDX, Khan comically dons a facemask of Mayweather and holds out a wad of money in hand.

He then attempts to goad his illusive opponent further, whilst pointing at a giant wall projection spelling out 'Who are ya?' as he looks to up the pressure on the American to give in and fight him. Despite the Bolton hero's best efforts, Mayweather is likely to snub Khan and give boxing fans the bout they have long-awaited...

A Third British Boxer Attacked In Unprovoked Incident Leaving Pugilist Anthony Crolla With Severe Head Injury And A Broken Ankle

Anthony Crolla

Rising British boxing star, Anthony Crolla, was viciously attacked in a home invasion near his property in Manchester, England. It is thought he stumbled upon a burglary happening in the vicinity of his property. Crolla was due to fight fellow boxer, Richar Abril, in January 2015 for the WBA lightweight title, but due to the severe head injury and broken ankle he sustained in the burglary, the fight has been cancelled. Crolla was hospitalized with a fractured skull, after he was hit over the head with a concrete slab. The Judiciary Report wishes him a speedy recovery.

 

Kell Brook


Jamie Moore

Crolla is the second Matchroom boxer to be attacked in the past few months, in what is a disturbing pattern. He is also the third boxer to be attacked in the past few months, in acts that resulted in the cancellation of a Matchroom fight. Boxers, Kell Brook and Jamie Moore, were attacked in Spain in separate incidents, while on vacation. Now Crolla has been attacked at home. One has to wonder if the company is being targeted due to its success and rising status in the boxing world. Be safe.

The Knife Attack On Boxer Kell Brook Is More Proof You Can’t Trust People You Don’t Know

Kell Brook

While holidaying in Tenerife, an island of Spain, world IBF welterweight boxing champion, Kell Brook, of Sheffield, England, was viciously stabbed by a man he’d met hours prior at a local bar. Brook was celebrating with other Brits on the island and was befriended by many people. Many were kind to him, one was not. 

After sending his pregnant wife back to their hotel after dinner via cab, Brook went to a bar with an elderly British couple. There, the champ celebrated with other Brits. When the party moved to the bar manager’s flat at closing time, an inebriated Brook followed along, celebrating after months of arduous, alcohol free training and winning the IBF title. 

After the party, Brook went drinking at the flat of one of the party-goers. A slightly worse for wear Brook was having a conversation with the man, while they drank. Brook stated the conversation quickly turned from boxing to claims street fighters are better and out of nowhere the man attacked the boxer with a large knife, chopping at his leg. It left a huge, gaping wound with blood pouring from it, endangering Brook's life. 

Kell Brook's knife wound

Brook fled the apartment and sought help from his assailant’s neighbor, feverishly knocking on their window and door, before passing out from extreme blood loss that could have result in fatal exsanguination. Brook woke up in a hospital shortly after and police contacted the mother of his children at the hotel. The Daily Mail, who interviewed the boxing star, stated they know the identity of his assailant. However, they declined to publish his name. Police have not made an arrest at this time and are currently investigating the matter. 

Brook comes across as an unassuming man, which is a good trait, but some people will take advantage of that if allowed. After hearing good and bad stories for years since I was a kid, about what can go right and wrong in the sports and entertainment industries, one thing my dad, a veteran in both fields always emphasized is, one has to be careful regarding whom one trusts. 

There are some unsavory characters in this world. Not everyone is your friend. Some are decent people. However, some are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference until they show their true colors and the damage is done. I know at times the Judiciary Report can take on a very serious and somewhat pessimistic tone, but that’s because I know and have seen the good as well as the very bad things can happen to people in the entertainment and sports industries. 

 

Kell Brook's knife wound

You must realize, not everyone will wish you well. Some will seek to use, exploit and harm you. Not everyone has morals. As one of my favorite teachers used to say when I would wonder why people do cruel things to others, “Not everyone was raised by your mama.” A lot of you need to remember that, not everyone was raised the way you were. Just because you wouldn’t do something cruel, doesn’t mean others won’t.

Don’t be paranoid and negative, but be a realist, hoping for the best. Be smart and selective about those in your circle, because not everyone in life will mean you well. It’s a cold, hard fact, but it is true. It’s a sad day when you have to evaluate friendships, both existing and potential ones, but when you get to a certain place in life, you have to do so for your own protection and preservation. Trust is earned. Don’t just give it away. Protect yourself, your family and your finances.

A Second British Boxer Attacked On Vacation In Spain Leading To The Postponement Of Another Fight

Jamie Moore 

In the August 9, 2014 article, Boxer Shot Five Times In Gangster Attack Leading To Postponement Of Show, the Judiciary Report wrote about the shooting of well-liked English boxer, Jamie Moore, who was shot 5 times in a hit whilst on vacation in Spain at the home of the son of drug kingpin, Christy Kinahan. Some called it a case of mistaken identity. The criminal remains at large. It derailed and delayed the Matchroom Boxing fight Moore's boxer, Matthew Macklin, was scheduled to participate it.

Is There A Connection

Kell Brook

One month later, the newly crowned IBF welterweight champion of the world, Kell Brook, was stabbed in the leg while on vacation in Spain, leading to significant blood loss and hospitalization. The criminal remains at large. It mirrored the unprovoked attack on Moore. It has also resulted in the cancellation of Brook's Matchroom Boxing title defense fight that was scheduled for December 6, 2014.

Kell Brook

Ironically, days before the attack on affable Brook, on August 31, 2014, the Sun Newspaper reported, rival boxer Amir Khan had posted a photo of a knife accompanied by the caption "I won't kill him. But I'll watch him die." It provoked outrage online, due to ISIS beheadings, prompting Khan to delete the post. However, the Judiciary Report is not of the belief Khan had anything to do with Brook's stabbing.

Screen cap from the Sun Newspaper regarding Amir Khan's post on social networking

Is someone targeting people associated with Matchroom Boxing fights. The 30-year-old company has experienced a resurgence this year, with a number of high profile sold out shows in Britain and victories in Europe and the United States, which has significantly raised its profile in the press and boxing world. These attacks need to stop, as boxers don't deserve this type of treatment, especially after all the risks they take going into the ring and putting their physical health on the line.

Britain's Kell Brook Is The New IBF Welterweight Champion Of The World

Kell Brook

Britain's Kell Brook defeated boxer Shawn Porter to win the IBF middleweight title in California this past Saturday. Brook, who is half English and half Jamaican, was thrilled with his victory, defeating Porter 11-114, 117-111, 116-112. Brook is undefeated, with his record standing at 33-0 (22 knockouts).

This definitive win puts 29-year-old Brook inline to fight British rival Amir Khan. As some of you may remember, months ago the Judiciary Report wrote about the social networking war between Brook and Khan. Brook challenged Khan to a fight, with his promoter Matchroom Boxing, offering the latter $5,000,000 to get in the ring against their pugilist in Britain. 

However, Khan was holding out for a fight against top dog Floyd Mayweather and frowned at fighting Brook. The Twitter war turned ugly. King Khan stated Brook was not an international boxer and labeled the fight too domestic. This prompted Brook to call his rival Queen Khan and label him someone running from a fight. 

Amir Khan

Then Mayweather turned around and did to Khan what he did to Brook, snubbing a fight with him as too small. Mayweather fought and defeated Marcos "Chino" Maidana and is set for a rematch on September 13, 2014 (Amir Khan Doing To Kell Brook What Floyd Mayweather Did To Him). For Khan, waiting on Mayweather has been like waiting on a unicorn, a fairytale.

Brook's definitive win and status as IBF champ puts him inline to fight Khan, who can no longer state the rival from his homeland is not international. Brook stated after his win, "The British public want it. He'll probably say I need to win another title for the fight. I know he doesn't like me. The fact is, he is getting it. I'm the champ of the world." 

It's your move Amir. Kell called you out again. It's time to defend your skills as a boxer and give the British people a big show. Think of it as national pride. Not to mention, Froch v. Groves in London sold 80,000 tickets this summer. There is a big market in Blighty.

Floyd Mayweather Gives Amir Khan A Peace Offering Putting Him On Boxing Undercard

Floyd Mayweather

British boxer Amir Khan’s perseverance has paid off. The world’s most famous boxer in competition, Floyd Mayweather, scrapped a fan poll result stating he should fight Khan next, choosing Argentinean Marcos Maidana in his stead. Khan went ballistic on Twitter like he was on "The Real Housewives Of Atlanta" when he found out what Mayweather had done. Amir was acting black on Twitter. Though he's not black, Amir had a black moment during that meltdown. For real Amir, you were on Twitter telling everybody off (LOL). I’m just saying… 

 

Amir Khan

 

This week, Mayweather has made a gesture in the way of making it up to him by including Khan on the undercard of his highly anticipated May 3, 2014 bout, which will give Amir the type of opportunity and exposure he seeks. Khan is scheduled to fight the exciting New York born Puerto Rican boxer, Luis Collazo, who has a good record, in what will be an interesting match up. Tickets for the fight, which began at $350.00 each, sold out within minutes. After the first few minutes of the tickets going on sale, the Ticketmaster website basically clowned you with a "searching" graphic, politely telling you to kick rocks, the event is sold out. 

Luis Collazo

Khan had been offered $5,000,000 by Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing to fight fellow Brit, Kell Brook, who is undefeated. Khan turned it down, while waiting for Mayweather. However, Khan can still fight Brook in London after the Collazo fight, giving the British people what they want. Matchroom’s Froch vs. Groves sold out within an hour, as 50,000 people snapped up the tickets. Therefore, there’s a strong British boxing market the Mancunian from Bolton, England could benefit from.

Amir Khan Doing To Kell Brook What Floyd Mayweather Did To Him

After former boxing champ, Amir Khan, won a fan contest hosted by the world’s top ranked boxer, Floyd Mayweather, he thought he was set and would fight the pound-for-pound king for a guaranteed $10,000,000 purse. However, Mayweather scrapped the results of the fan vote which stated he should fight Khan and not Marcos Maidana, opting to choose the latter as his next opponent, for a May 3, 2014 bout. Mayweather’s words indicate he is of the belief, Khan is not on his level as a boxer. Khan, who does have a strong record, suffered a few key losses, leading Mayweather to make said statements.

A strong offer was made by British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, guaranteeing Khan $5,000,000 to fight fellow Brit, Kell Brook, who is undefeated. However, Khan snubbed the offer, basically stating Brook is not on his level, even though he is the British champ. In that, Khan has done to Brook, what Mayweather did to him.

At the end of the day Britain has 60,000,000 people. European audiences would mean many millions more. This is not a market to be sneezed at in any measure. It is a viable and lucrative one. Yes, Mayweather is the biggest name in boxing, but he is toying with Khan causing him to do something Maidana stated he refuses to do, which is beg for a fight.

Amir Khan Tells Floyd Mayweather He’s 'Full Of S**t'

Mayweather's Protege Adrien Broner Responds 'Amir Ain't S**t'

 

Floyd Mayweather

Former boxing champ, Britain’s Amir Khan, has had enough of the world’s top boxer, Floyd Mayweather, messing with his head. The two began throwing verbal jabs at each other in the press. Then Mayweather asked fans to vote at his website to choose which boxer he would fight next - Khan or Argentinean champ Marcos Maidana, who recently beat his protégé Adrien Broner. Fans chose Khan, but Mayweather decided to override the decision and pick Maidana. This made Khan very angry, as he was cut out of a $10,000,000 purse. 

 

Amir Khan

Mayweather, realizing some are upset about the vote being discarded responded to a challenge from Khan, who asked to fight Broner and if he wins, he wants a shot at the champ. In response, Mayweather tweeted on Twitter that if Khan beats his “brother” Broner in an undercard bout, he will fight him. However, in the same statement, Mayweather let Khan know he won’t beat Broner. So basically, Mayweather told Khan to kick rocks, the fight’s not gonna happen. Mayweather has Khan off for something. He’s been toying with him for months. 

Adrien Broner

Days prior to their latest Twitter fight, the Judiciary Report asked if Khan was sure he wanted to wait around for Mayweather or Broner for that matter, as the former is holding all the cards and toying with him. Mayweather’s answer proves he is not serious about Khan.

Khan is a skilled boxer, but Mayweather would beat him. Comparing videos of their styles, strength and jabs, Mayweather has a clear advantage. Mayweather’s biggest challenge would be Filipino boxer, Manny Pacquiao. Yes, Mayweather could beat Pacquiao. However, if Mayweather’s not careful, Pacquiao’s speed and jab could render a surprise knock out.

In the meantime, Khan should consider fighting fellow Briton Kell Brook for $5,000,000 in Britain, on the basis of national pride. Khan for his part is complaining on Twitter about articles regarding the $5,000,000 offer from Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing not being legit. However, they have stated the offer remains on the table and the company has arranged the highly anticipated Froch vs. Groves rematch. Khan deems a Broner or Mayweather bout as more global, but no assurances have been granted and he could be waiting in vain. You know what they say, “A bird in the hand beats two in the bush.”

Amir Khan May Fight Adrien Broner But Considering He Is Mentored By Floyd Mayweather Will It Happen After Their Dispute

Reports have surfaced indicating boxer Amir Khan, who was just passed over for a lucrative fight with reigning champ, Floyd Mayweather, even though he won a fan vote conducted on the latter's website, may fight Adrien Broner. Mayweather chose Marcos Maidana in his stead, angering Khan, who lost a guaranteed $10,000,000 payday. It is the talk of the boxing world.

Broner is mentored by Mayweather. Broner is Mayweather's protégé, whom he referred to as a "brother." Mayweather rushed to Broner's defense last year when he was beaten in the ring by Marcos Maidana. However, a newspaper report stated one of Khan's potential opponents is Adrien Broner.

However, after what transpired with Mayweather canceling the Khan fight, does he feel comfortable enough to wait for a deal to fight Broner. Mayweather and Khan were locked in a war of words before the fan vote contest was even announced. Since that time, Khan voiced his displeasure at being snubbed by Mayweather. How would negotiations go in light of these facts. One of Khan's other options is fighting fellow Brit, Kell Brook, in London, England for a guaranteed $5,000,000 purse, put forth by boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.

Floyd Mayweather And Amir Khan's War Of Words Over Cancelled Fight

Floyd Mayweather: I'm gonna bust you up over what you did to my homie Adrien (Broner)

Floyd Mayweather has gone on record regarding his planned May 3, 2014 Las Vegas fight against Marcos Maidana. Mayweather stated, "Marcos Maidana's last performance immediately brought him to my attention. He is an extremely skilled fighter who brings knockout danger to the ring. I think this is a great fight for me and he deserves the opportunity to see if he can do what 45 others have tried to do before him - beat me."

Maidana stated, "I am extremely happy to be facing Floyd Mayweather because it will give me the opportunity to show the world that I am the best welterweight in the division. I just handed a great defensive fighter his first loss and I plan to do the same to Mayweather. I don't care whether he's the best and undefeated. I will bring some real Latino power to him on May 3rd."

However Amir Khan, the winner of the fan vote, who was overlooked in favor of Maidana, confirmed he did win the poll, had signed a contract with Mayweather Promotions and has lost money waiting on the champ. Khan had turned down a December 2013 fight against Devon Alexander, costing him money in light of Mayweather canceling the fight with him. However, Khan has been offered $5,000,000 to fight fellow Briton, Kell Brook. The offer was issued by British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn. It's a decent offer for a good payday, especially considering Khan has a baby on the way. He must plan for his future, as does any athlete. In response to Mayweather's announcement, Khan stated: 

Following the announcement by Floyd Mayweather that he will be facing Marcos Maidana on May 3rd I would like to clarify my situation for my fans and members of the media. Despite having signed my part of the agreement to fight Floyd in early December, I’ve been preparing myself for some time that the match up with him wasn’t going to happen, as I announced on Twitter a few days ago. Therefore, this announcement did not come as a surprise. 

I am, however, very disappointed with Floyd and his team for not providing any explanation as to why he delayed the announcement for so long and ultimately avoided the fight with me. Clarification, if he was not fighting me, would have allowed me to look over my options and pursue another path, rather than the ultimate delay to my career this has caused. It has been a very frustrating period as I’d been due to fight in December against Devon Alexander, however, I was strongly advised to not take this fight as I would be facing Floyd this May – and therefore signed my side of the contract on this belief. 

Floyd was keen to engage with the fans and so decided to let them choose who he should fight in his next bout. I clearly won his official poll, by a significant margin, but for unknown reasons he decided to ignore the fans vote and failed to keep his word. Disappointing many fight fans who took the time to vote. I genuinely wish Marcos and Floyd all the best for their fight – two great fighters. As a team we have now moved on and are looking at different options. 

I’ve been training very hard since my last fight. I’m a fighter who wants to face the very best out there and have never ducked any opponent. I’m focused and ready for my next outing - we currently have a few options on the table at the moment and my team are working alongside Golden Boy Promotions to announce my next fight within the next 10 days. I can’t wait to get back in the ring and am determined to put on a great show for my loyal fans who have waited a long time to see me back in action – and I’m very excited about what’s yet to come this year. Thank you for all your continued support.”
