Amir question.

After watching the fight with a few mates, i was asked how much each fighter would of got paid, got me thinking, id guess Gomez must of got around £35-£40k (at a guess)
Khan i havent a clue, does anyone know ??

Reckon you are about right for Gomez
Prob more complex with Khan, wouldn't suprise me if he is not on a fight by fight purse at this stage of his career, he had a big signing on fee, prob gets paid weekly.
Either way he would be on much more, more than Witter had for any WBC defences

£100k for the fight itself for khan before he got the belt, with a domestic title i think it went up to £150k.

Then endorsements from Reebok etc will double it.

Not bad for a commonwealth title when you consider the highest for the British was 40k for Reid and 60k for Froch.

I was watching it with two of my friends who are both pro boxers, and they said they thought Gomez would be on a lot more, nearer the 70k mark? i hope so as he deserves it, With it being a 10,000 sell out, live on itv and for a title and with micheal agreeing to behave in the run up ect the thought purse would be between 60-70k hope so guy deserves it.

Coco · Post by **Coco** » 22 Jun 2008, 18:23

I reckon it would be closer to 30k than 40k

Scrap · Post by **Scrap** » 22 Jun 2008, 18:43

Closer to £25,000 Id think.

I thought I'd heard £25k from someone, but I can't recall where. :-/

Do you reckon only 150k for Khan? Given he was pulling in 10,000-20,000 from the start I would have thought it would be a tad bit more. I reckon if he resigns with Warren it will probably be 500k a fight.

Thought I read someone quote Gomez as saying he couldn't believe FW was giving him 30K to hand Khan his head...

Wales · Post by **Wales** » 23 Jun 2008, 08:35

I estimated 20-30k, which is a lot, especially when you consdier judah got about 100k for his unification fight with spinks. Only a select few will know for sure.

Now this might sound like a dumb question but....

which belts does Amir hold, Is one the wbu?

Wales · Post by **Wales** » 23 Jun 2008, 08:50

wbo intercontinental and c'wealth isnt it?

Poncey · Post by **Poncey** » 23 Jun 2008, 08:52

It looks like Boxrec might be wrong on this one. It states he currently holds the Commonwealth title and won the Intercontinental WBO belt but I though he also won an IBF Intercontinental Light Welter belt against Drilzane.

is he not on a 12 month ban on the British due to pulling out of purse bids with thaxton

Poncey · Post by **Poncey** » 23 Jun 2008, 08:56

Lol, serious? How can they borrow a belt. No wonder ITV want nothing to do with them!

Emma, brit title is being fought by Murray and Meager on July 11th.

Calzaghe and hatton (i.e. Frank warrens boys) did a pretty good job..

Well Calzaghe holding on to the WBO deccoration for years without fighting a unification managed to deny us of some good matches ditto Hatton droping the British title.

I really think that Khan should go for the winner of the Meger Murray match. He's not going to win a world title any time soon and he would be in a competitive fight with a actual proper title on the line.

He should definately go for the British Title. Think about what it would do for his image. He would probaaly get 's*cked off' even more than he does already

Asterix · Post by **Asterix** » 23 Jun 2008, 11:08

It's a shame he said that Khan has "no power". That doesn't bode well for Khan.
