Does Amir Khan Deserve 50/50 Purse Split Against Floyd Mayweather?

pfft floyd doesnt have his pick, he fights who showtime tells him to fight.

Doesn't matter whos making the decision, there are still other good options out there

Where will Khan put all that money? He has no imagination... He deserver1-2% the most, he is done as a boxer. Everybody knows the winner in this one, bookies will have 1/25 for Mayweather.....

Serious question time people. Does Khan deserve that elusive 50/50 money split in the Floyd Mayweather fight? Is he a high enough value opponent in terms of global popularity and crowd drawing capability?

Should the money generated from the fight get split equally to Mayweather and Khan? Or who should get the lion's share of the purse?

Sure about that?

Lol

Is this a joke?

Exactly. This is not a serious question. Kahn has a fan base which is the only reason he is in the sweepstakes but he doesn't have anywhere near the bargaining power that Saul had. Maybe more than Robert.

How can Amir Khan get a 50/50 split with Mayweather if his highest pay day was $1.5 million + Plus share of TV rights boxing (Lamont Peterson). Don't Mayweather gets over 30 million a fight plus share of ppv and gate. I say 80/20 is fair. Khan hasn't did anything lately to get close to 50%.

Khan doesn't even deserve a fight with Floyd. Floyd would get more credit if he beat Devon Alexander or Lamont Peterson than he will after he beats Khan.

What he said.

[junior gong]

He doesnt deserve the fight, let alone a half share.

[Rip Chudd]

He doesnt deserve the fight, let alone a half share.

no but since Mayweather really has no viable opponent I bet Khan can leverage himself to get a better deal then previous mayweather opponents.

Good point, Khan is by far the best opponent from a financial perspective for Mayweather, he has beat every other extra-prolific boxer out there in the weight division, bar Pacquiao and lesser Top Rank fighters like Bradley. But those fights just aren't going to happen while the fighters remain with Arum.
