Peterson out couldn't agree to a fee.

Looks like he wanted to much money he was offered $200k and turned it down.

Who do you think is in the picture now? I thought this was a done deal never mind not to bothered.

I reckon Khan should fight either Prescott,McCloskey or Murray.

BBC Sport - Amir Khan 'happy' to fight Paul McCloskey



Amir Khan says he hopes his next fight can be arranged in the "next few days" and Northern Irish boxer Paul McCloskey is likely to be his opponent.
WBA super lightweight champion Khan told BBC Five live that his management was "looking at all the options".
Speaking of McCloskey, Khan said "He approached us. He's an undefeated fighter. I'm happy to take the fight on."
The Bolton-born boxer restated his aim to unify the division this year.
He wants to fight the winner of the forthcoming bout between the US fighters Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander on 29 January.
Bradley is the WBO light-welterweight champion and Alexander holds the WBC belt.
In the meantime, Khan says he wants a new opponent and it is likely to be European champion McCloskey from Dungiven at the MEN Arena in Manchester on 16 April.
"The next level for him is world title and I'm to take the fight on. He's a good fighter," Khan said.
A fight with Khan's original choice of opponent, Lamont Peterson, fell through.
Khan said Peterson had demanded "a huge figure - just too much money" to appear.

Sound like Khan priced him out, that seems real low for a title fight, and to be in a foreign country. But I'm glad McCloskey is going to get the shot.

Also, weren't you just saying McCloskey wasnt ready, now you are ok with it? I should be a fucking matchmaker I tell ya...

Who else is there? He is ranked high enough, but he will get smashed in 4 rounds imo. Prescott,McCloskey or Murray are his only options really.

So now we are missing Haye vs Wlad for whatever this might be! Fuck off Sky and fuck off Khan. I just don't like it!

$200k is low for a guy like Peterson? You think I would love to know what Peterson will get in his next fight, I would guess he wont make that amount in his next 4/5 fights.

Pirog got $30k to fight Jacobs for a title fight last year, end of the day who is Peterson?? 200k is a fair sum for him imo.
