[Pullcounter]

Paul McCloskey’s promoter Barry Hearn accused Amir Khan of using his fighter to get a cheap World title defence after closing the book on their deal to fight in Manchester.

i'm glad this fight sux anyways

I think Team Khan wants a clause in the contract, stating that if McCloskey wins then Amir get a rematch, which is fair. But what is not fair is that, if Paul 'dudey' McCloskey wins then Team Khan get a % of money from his next 3 fights, one of which would be a re-match. That is the inside scoop. No good fighter would agree to those terms.

Khan might be undercutting McCloskey, but at 31 years old, if a title shot comes around against one of the biggest names in the sport, you take it.

^^^^^ cosign. who the *** is mccluskey?????????????

[dvb]

ha,he doesnt like the offer to be publicly known by fighting khan?

he doesnt like the chance of winning the light welterweigh title?.

hes a bum who is being offered a shot at a well known champion,and he wants more money?.lol. okkkkk.

[mjkirby]

what a ****ing joke,what happened to taking **** money(3 times higher than your highest career payday) if you believe you can win the fight then the massive paydays wll follow.but if you know you have little chance of winning but know you will keep your belt and are looking for a nice payday then just say so

[vxrandall]

hearn is almost as big a muppet and crook as warren. ALMOST. i'm going on twitter right now to tell khan to just fight prescott for nowt and shut him the Fk up!! total ****p1sser!

[BesWorldChamp]

Good. I'm hoping they go back to negotiating a Prescott rematch.

It's hard to take sides when they won't say exactly what the offer/counter offers are. If I had to guess I'd say that it's not McCloskey himself that's asking for too much but rather his promoter. I just can't see a 31 year old giving up a title shot over money, when he knows that if he wins there will be guaranteed good money down the line. How many title shots does he see in his future that he would gamble away such an opportunity? If Paulie, Maidana and Kotelnik could come to terms with Khan, then he can't be that hard to deal with.

umm.. fight maidana again you pusssy

[Yaconcha]

ok, i will say whats on everyones minds.
but, first im gonna tell you a story.
theres this little shop on the corner near where i live not too dissimilar from the kwikimart.
ok, we all know the ending but, i dont just think he is a tight arse....oh no....!
i think he is scared still of losing.
he was hangin on for dear life with maidana.
bradley will knock him out if clean shot is landed(just one)
alexander i think will outspeed the ***** and box his head off aaaaaaaaand,
what ****in planet is he on when he says he has "the speed/style/tools to beat fmj?
oh please, im english and i do rate khan at some kind of level but, still not sure where.
thank you, come again!
