Managing Director of the Klitschko Management Group, Boente claimed that the Haye-Klitshcko bout fell apart as Haye was basing his purse on the UK PPV sales. Boente, alleged that Khan drew in only 30,00 customers. However, Warren denies this and claim’s Khan drew in over 100,000 PPV’s and he was not satisfied with that. Who do you believe?

I’ve Lost a lot of Respect for Amir Khan
By Liam Santiago: As a boxing fan, and a boxing expert I might add, I am beginning to lose much of my respect for Amir Khan. Compared to other boxers at his level he seems to show no desire to want to prove himself against the best. Let’s take Timothy Bradley, who was in action last night. This guy is only three years older than Khan and undefeated in twenty five bouts.
Why Won’t British TV Companies Screen Big Boxing Events?
By Liam Santiago: I was very disappointed to find out that not one British television company had decided to broadcast tonight’s massive boxing event, with a double main event. Witter vs Devon and Campbell vs Bradley just did not seem big enough for them. What will they screen except Hatton, Khan and Haye? It is as though sky and other British channels think all British boxing fans take an interest in is them three boxers.
Froch: “Why Doesn’t He [Khan] Go and Get The Rematch With Prescott?”
By Scott Gilfoid: WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch was recently expressing his dissatisfaction with newly crowned World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan’s performance against Ukrainian Andriy Kotelnik on July 18th, calling it “Boring.” Froch wonders why about Khan, asking the question “Why doesn’t he [Khan] go and get a rematch with Prescott?” This is a good question and one that’s been on the minds of many in the boxing world when looking at the career of the 22-year-old Khan.
The Dream Fights That Might Never Happen – Boxing
By Liam Santiago: Over the next twelve month period, there is a chance for boxing to produce one of its finest viewings for boxing fans in recent years. Some mega fights are already on the card. Others will simply not happen due to money.
Hatton Says He Was Over-Trained for Pacquiao Bout, and Rules out a Fight with Khan for the Time Being
By Jim Dower: Former light welterweight/Welterweight champion Ricky Hatton says that he was over-trained for his fight with Manny Pacquiao and that he peeked too soon, according to his comments in the Sportinglife. Hatton, 30, feels that he “left too much in the gym” while training for his fight with Pacquiao by over doing it at too early in the training camp.
Witter Predicts Knockout Victory Over Khan
By William Mackay: Junior Witter seems to be getting ahead of himself by looking for a unification fight against World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan. Witter, 35, has a big fight this Saturday night against undefeated Devon Alexander (18-0, 11 KO’s) for the vacant WBO light welterweight in Rancho Mirage, California.
Hatton Needs to Fight Khan Before Amir Gets Destroyed Again
By David Lahr: Ricky Hatton continues to bide his time waiting for something or someone to get him off the couch and back into the boxing ring. Since being humbled in a 2nd round knockout loss to Manny Pacquiao in May, Hatton has had problems making a decision about whether he wants to continue fighting. Recently, Hatton hinted that he’d like to possibly fight Juan Manuel Marquez if he can get by Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September.
Who’s Currently the Most Overrated Boxer?
By Stuart Gant: Critics and haters around the world often look at Joe Calzaghe’s record and instead of looking at the highlights in his career they always look at the fights that he missed.
As a fan I often support Joe against his critics and believe he was a great champion and a future hall of famer. I admit pulling out of fights against Glen Johnson and giving boxers like Peter Manfredo Jr title shots can easily be criticised but he still beat some big names including, Chris Eubank, Mikkel Kessler and Jeff Lacy and he also retired undefeated.
Are Boxers Getting title Shots Without Working for Them?
By Stuart Gant: I am and have been for a long time a huge boxing fan, enjoying not only the big boxing matches but also the lower level bouts, however even I can’t avoid the issue of certain boxers getting title shots or big bouts when many would say they didn’t deserve it.
There are many examples of this but one I would definitely use would be the British newly crowned WBA light-welterweight champion, Amir Khan.
