Well let me tell you Mccloskey and his team are DELUSIONAL! According to his manager, Maidana made 1 million against khan LOL. Amir Khans purse was 975,000 against Maidana.

WRONG.

I think he's write on that actually,i think maidana got about £500,000 for the khan fight and khans purse was £975,000 plus he made money from sponsorship,etc.

Accordng to Dan Rafael in the pre fight build up, Maidana would make $550,000/£343,000 and Khan would make at least $1,500,000/£937,000. Those figures would obviously exclude PPV sales.

Khan, who will be making his third defense, will get at least $1.5 million, plus revenue from the television rights in the United Kingdom. Maidana will earn $550,000 plus an undisclosed bump if he wins the fight.

it wasnt inside info,just what i had read.

[Camcas]

McCloskey will get destroyed and he thinks he deserves near Khan's money LOL

[slapbangwhallop]

I dont think he is asking for "near Khan's money".

What percentage split do you think would be fair for the fighters? 50/50? 60/40? 98/2?

[mickey1975]

I think McCloskey or Murray should be offered more than others due to the numbers they put on the live gate.I have watched Khan twice headline the M.E.N and it was a third full each time.With either of those two in the other corner it could be nearly full,thats a lot of extra cash.

[Dioufy]

I would say 70/30 to Khan, considering it's a voluntary.

Most are me but that one isnt.

Why, have you any feedback Lefty?

[Deno1986]

Just seen Khan on SSN saying they have made an improved offer to McCloskey and he expects the Irishman to sign in the next few days.....

[Captain Hook]

Fingers crossed...

If it's McCloskey I'll go to this. Should be a good atmosphere...

[DavidPayne]

Fun fight. As Paul is awkward. But Khan is just bigger, faster and better.
