Khan puts his money where his mouth is....

First topic message reminder :

Why couldn't he just stuff it all in his mouth quite literally? Khan has decided to formerly appeal, oh dear.

"Stop pushing him away Khan" - Everyone heard him getting warned, is just the desperate act of a sore loser.

That was all talk. Chad would go where the money is. Hopkins would bring more money to the table whereas Chad doesn't/ Given the nature of the ending, the buying public didn't get to see who was the better boxer. A rematch is due.

This is just minerals. Hop is still beating younger guys so why should he stop? As for Jones and Holy, they are damaging their legacy not the sport.

So if e.g. Bradley brings more to the table and Peterson accepts to fight Bradley I can see all you Khan nuthuggers saying 'oh hes ducking Khan' bottom line is...if you do the job correctly firstly why is their a need to become desperate for rematches?

cant stand khan myself, so you are a bit quick on your assumptions there. i like peterson, if he can earn more from bradley or anyone else he should go for it. but obviously with the hype surrounding his first match against khan i think he should be able to make a lot off a rematch

Bottom line......money. Who pays more. Bradley cant draw flies and GBP have offered Peterson a 7 figure sum. If I were managing Peterson I'd take it as he'll beat Amir in a rematch.

Money and another thing you're forgetting 'bargaining power' when Oscar fought both Floyd and Pacman why did he gain the higher share? What I dont understand is why are GBP offering a 7 figure sum if they're adamant the appeal or whatever you wanna call will be successful? surely they're just hyping up a 'potential' rematch! Bradley may not be able to attract 10 fans in his living room but now that Top Rank have Bradley I feel uncle Bob will relish a Peterson match up which is also a rematch as Bradley was victorious before. As each day goes by Khan and his silly rants are making him look more and more desperate.

The whole issue surrounding the appeal adds more publicy to the fight. Call it cheap advertising. It will add more bums on seats and will justify the 7 figure sum being offered to Peterson (although I reckon that will be halved when the white of eyes are seen).

Now that Floyd will be having his pretty boy status well and truly tested, Bradley will be lined up for Pac and Peterson wont have anywhere to go.
