I just read your sig. Yeah, you do have an overly active imagination. You should try and use it for other things aside from hating

I tried to use my imagination to draw artwork, but I just kept on drawing stick men who bled.

Maidana is no Barrera...better believe it.

Maidana needs to accept whatever contract Khan throws his way or move on and take another fight. He deserves no more than ?00,000 of the purse for this fight. That will about double his highest payday yet.

Khan is the champion. Khan is the star. Khan is the attraction.

maidanna needs to stop being a greedy idiot and sign the fight. khan will give him a boxing lesson almost as bad as kotelnik gave to alexander

LOL! No one could ever accuse either of you of being objective posters. It's not even worth debating with people who have such a loose grip on reality.

Seems that is why Khan knows the figures and is pushing for the UK.

He wants to make money of his own too.

The fight should go to purse bids than Maidana would get less than he is asking for LOL

You have no idea what he's actually asking for.

Khan wants it in to be in the UK but HBO wants it to be in the US and GBP says there will be more money available if the fight is in the US. We'll see.

If Khan insists on it being in the UK because he wants to fight in front of his home fans, and if GBP are right that there will be more money available if the fight is in the US, then Maidana could validly argue that he shouldn't be expected to pay a financial penalty for Khan's personal preference, and that if anything, his purse should go up a little in compensation for Khan being given hometown advantage.

your right, Maidana is allot bigger than Barrera and punchers much harder,
and thats what Khan fears most, a puncher,
Khan may be able to box rings around Maidana for a few rounds but sooner or later Maidana will get to him, deal with it

By William Mackay: HBO has offered $2 million for the WBA light welterweight match-up between champion Amir Khan and WBA interim champion Marcos Maidana if the fight takes place in the United States, according to boxing news from Dan Rafael of ESPN. HBO will pay $1.75 million if the Khan-Maidana bout takes place in the UK. In an article at thesun.co.uk, Khan’s business manager Asif Vali said that Maidana is asking for $1 million for the fight with Khan and that is too much money and that Maidana would have to come down, saying “Sometimes it can be better not to fight.?So in other words, Khan would walk away from $1 million if he had to share the $2 million with Maidana? What’s up with that?

If both of them are champions and Khan is pretty much unproven and unknown in the United States, how can he be worth more than Maidana? I think Maidana is better known than Khan right now in the United States. Maidana has been shown on television more than Khan, that’s for sure. U.S boxing fans have only see Khan’s fight against Paulie Malignaggi and that’s it. I see this as fight where both fighters should agree to a 50-50 deal. After all, both of their careers could be on the line for this fight and the losers will likely see a big drop off of interest among U.S fans, especially if they get blown out of the ring.

But I don’t see how Maidana is asking for too much money if he’s a champion too and is arguably better known than Khan in the U.S. Khan obviously is a star in the UK, but this fight won’t take place in the UK and HBO isn’t a UK cable company. I think they should split the money 50-50 and lets?get this fight underway. Khan can always make the big bucks if he beats Maidana, but right now all Khan has to show for himself in notable career wins is his victories over light punchers like Malignaggi, Andriy Kotelnik and Dmitri Salita. Maidana hits a lot harder than them.





If it is the case of 250k less that HBO offer for the fight in the UK, they make it back with PPV sales and seats IMO.

Khan Madainana won't sell 8k like Khan VS Paulie.

In the UK I think it can hit 8k if not more seats.
