Comments Thread For: Maidana Requests Purse Bid, Expects Khan To Vacate Title

[JuanDan]

No. Thats wrong too. Maidana hits hard. End of. He doesn't know how to fight. He can't even throw a proper punch. I consider fighting=brawling. Maidana can't fight. He only hits hard.

27 wins by KO and you say Maidana can't even throw a proper much? you are taking out of your arse.

Maidana is a complete joke

i can't believe all the hate on this forum that has been directed at khan over the last few months

khan 's ducking khan's a coward he has a weak chin paper champion blah blah blah

here we have a man who for some unknown reason thinks he is entitled to make **** loads of money and his last opponents were cayo and corley

seriously i've had it up to here with these boxers that think they can make ridiculous money when they ain't done **** with their career and then have the cheek to say that their opponent doesn't want to fight and they are offering them the biggest payday of their career

I'm not trying to be confrontational, but do we know that Maidana is asking for crazy money? The two fighters obviously disagree on it, but do we know any details of the money being offered? Do we know if either of them is presenting the situation accurately? I am not a Maidana fan - I have missed all his fights, so don't know him - but I'm not sure we should assume that he is making demands and that that is the problem. You criticize Maidana's recent opposition, but Khan has certainly not fought as often as he should have done, and not against the quality of opposition he should have - Paulie was shot at LWW when Khan fought him - so it might be rash to assume that all the problems with getting this fight made come from the Maidana side of the negotiation. I'm just saying that we do not have all the facts and I don't think that all the problems are on one side of the negotiating table.

I agree with this post except fr Paulie being shot...Paulie is just not in the same class with some with power or some with who can box...IMO Paulie will always be a B fighter nothing nothing less...

Alexander has never faced a slick boxer like Paulie with a good jab. He is great at countering and picking apart come forward fighters like Urango, but I would like to see how he deals with a quick, slick, fighter like Paulie. Khan had the speed, the jab, and the physicality to deal with Malignaggi, Alexander lacks in those areas, although his hands are still quite fast.

I would still pick Alexander and Kotelnik to beat Malignaggi. But I doubt they wouldn't dominate him like Khan did.

I don't all you need really is power and a lil boxing know how to beat Paulie...But Devon and Kottie both have pop(neither are big punchers)and alot of boxing skills...IMO Kottie and Devon beat the life out of Paulie he has nothing to keep them honest with...Bradley totally beats the **** out of him as well...Paulie is no Judah,Judah has good boxing skills but has pop something to keep you honest..It would have been far more impressive had Khan beat or Devon beat him IMO...But Paulie love the kid he's from NY and so am I but he won't beat anybody in the top 5 right now...Maybe not even to 7..

If anyone is confused about whether Maidana is in the right financially or whether he's being greedy etc. According to WBA rules. When the interim meets the champion, the split is 45% to the interim, 55% to the champion.

You can look this up and see all the other examples at other weights when this has happened, and also here from last time Maidana Khan went to bidding, prior to Khan signing with GBP.

If you search on the wbanews site you will be able to find the following from when the it first went to purse bids.

DIVISION: SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT (140 Lbs.)
CONTENDERS: AMIR KHAN (UK) VS. MARCOS MAIDANA (ARG)
(WBA CHAMPION) (INTERIM CHAMPION)
MINIMUM AMOUNT: US$ 150,000.00
PURSE BID SPLIT: (55% WBA CHAMPION 45% INTERIM CHAMPION)


HBO offered a total purse, that doesn't allow for Khan to get what he wants and at the same time pay Maidana get 45% of that sum. So rather than Khan taking less than his million+ he believes Maidana should take less and accusing him in the press of demanding too much money, saying it's 3x what he's earned before etc, forgetting the fact that he's entitled to it.

It's outrageous

Good post...

HBO need to invest some more money into this fight. If Khan can't earn what he is contractually entitled to, then Golden Boy need to step up.

Personally, I wouldn't take a $300,000 pay cut out of my own money to fund a challengers purse. It would be great if Khan negotiated a new contract that allowed Maidana to be paid 45%, but people can't blame him if he refuses. This is a job for the promoters to sort out.

Maidana lacks skills big time and struggled with Corley and all that. But if Khan doesn't face him the image of Khan not being able to beat punchers and being afraid of them is going to put a big cloud over his career. He's at a dead end and he's run out of Malinaggis and Salitas to face.

[WatchForTheHook]
