what would you do?
It seems now common for the "big name" champions offering their challengers a fraction of the fight purse.
the challengers have to put in a gruelling training camp for a relatively tiny financial reward. On top of this they obviously get a crack at a big name, a world championship and the exposure win or loose
the klits seem to be the worst culprits for this, negotiating the financial side heavily in their favour and adding a number of clauses as a safety net in case the fight goes against them, all their opponent gets is the fight (and a rematch if they win, and another if they win again )
Amir Khan seems to be trying to pull the same trick, offering a relative unknown the door to the big time for a small gain (financially) for the fight
but say in McClousky's case. I dont know how much he was offered to fight khan but say it was enough to support your training camp and come out of the other end with a little bit in the bank - £50 grand say. Would you have taken it?
Honestly, I think I probably would. If he puts in a good show, he probably earns twice that (or more) for his next fight, he has big exposure where it counts in boxing
