Despite a load of names being thrown into the hat, Paul feels confident that a fight between him and Khan is likely.
Video interview included.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.....

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

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