Apparently that "unknown guy" is jumping mad at being called unknown. He stresses that he is really famous and adds something about Muhammed Ali.

I think so provided he gets a rematch, boxing is littered with corruption and bad decisions, though I'm not saying this is the case with this fight

Very bizarre, still a 50-50 split as far as the purse is concerned is a fair chunk of change.

Indeed it is very weird. We need Gentlman 'enry Cooper and his ilk back.

That's unexpected, and of course will make for a very lucrative fight.

Very - I hear the most expensive tickets are right next to the judges table...

I'm more interested in seeing Pacquiao fight Mayweather, Khan will come unstuck again at some point. Just like Carl Froch did firstly against Kessler and then against Ward.

Difference between Froch and Khan is Froch can take a hell of a punch

Khan has good fast hands but no power in them and also he needs to stop trying to prove he has a chin and stop getting hit his defensive skills are average at best.

Boxing is about hitting and not being hit!

He is an above average fighter and what about giving Maidana a rematch now that he got one against Lamount.

one thing is for sure he would get destroyed by Money Mayweather

Might watch it ...

Only if they change the result to a no-contest which could still happen it depends on what happens at the IBF hearing
