Danny Garcia vs Amir Khan, ordered By WBC!

[Primo Carnera]

Just a question. How much do people think Khan will earn for fighting Garcia?
Bearing in mind that Garcia is champ, Khan is the Challenger, I wonder. Million dollars maybe? Less? Interesting.

Khan will avenge his loss, win a title, and have better bargaining for the fight with Brooks. Makes sense in every way.

How much?

Probably not as much as if he fought Brooks but the fight would be worth more to him when they fight. If that makes sense.

ok, here's the thing . last year , Khan fought Algieri and his purse was $700k (about £500k.) he had been offered £5 Million to fight Brook. so he chose a non-title fight for 10% of what Hearn offered.
fast forward to now, we know Hearn has offered 60% of a £12 Million purse, that's £7.2 million (over $10 million) Khan wants an 80-20 split.
Khan is scheduled to fight Garcia for a title. bearing in mind what he got in his last fight, and that he is the challenger, and add quite a bit because it's for a title, and it's conceivable (albeit generous)to think that Khan's share of the purse will double to $1.4 million (about £1 million). That's about 14% of what Hearn is offering!
so it's looking like twice Khan is turning down Brook to take relative peanuts instead. so, if this is some sort of business decision to get him more money, I ask , would any of you make that decision?
Last year , Khan could've beat Brook, then if there was a rematch , could've commanded double the money as the champ , and won that . He would be £15 million better off , be a World champion and probably be the "A-side" in any fight negotiations with anyone in the division.
so now tell me that his decision makes sense in any way, shape or form?
to be honest, I don't even want Brook to fight Khan, I would let him rot. What Brook should do is try to make the fight with Garcia in the UK or the States. if he wins that, not only is he the main player in the division, but who would Khan fight.
I seriously think if that happened, Khan would retire, bellyaching that Floyd , Manny , Garcia & Brook had all avoided him .
Khan is so deluded that I seriously question his mental state if I'm honest.

not that I know how much people get for shit but I reckon khan Garcia is a miles bigger fight than khan algeri, specially considering the history, so its possible that khan will get a fair bit more than $1.5

but it will still be nowhere near as much as he would get to fight brook (like you pointed out)

if he loses to Garcia then the amount he would get for fighting brook would probably come down a fair bit

[Primo Carnera]

I hear what you're saying Eric, but I would be interested to hear from someone on here from over the States to see our figures are realistic. see I reckon that in the U.S. they only earn decent money at the top , top end. I'd be intrigued , for example to know what Thurman and Porter will be earning , cos that's a good yardstick.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Glad Khan is fighting Garcia. Very necessary for me. Khan has balls. Garcia really fucked him up last time. Have always liked both fighters. Hope Khan wins though.

[Master]

Garcia is an easier fight than Brooks for khan. Simple game of percentages, khan has been playing since he left Roach.

[imp]

Overrated?

No so special?

Excuse me but khan has beat x3 good welterweights already and completely schoooooooled alexander!

Khan has had much better competition than brook.

Khan is the A side fighter and can dictate the figures.

[Primo Carnera]

Overrated? YES

No so special? YES

Excuse me but khan has beat x3 good welterweights already and completely schoooooooled alexander! His only notable victory was against Maidana.

Khan has had much better competition than brook. AGREED. but Khan has also lost to some as well. Besides, this was about Khan and Garcia. Absolutely right that Brook needs to fight a top level guy, but there's no doubt that he wants Khan more than Khan wants him.

Khan is the A side fighter and can dictate the figures.

Brook is the Champion, Khan has never been a champion at this weight and Infact hasn't been a World Champion for years. If Brook has the balls to hijack the Khan v Garcia fight and fight Garcia to unify, Khan would be fucked. Who exactly would Khan fight?
Khan would then be the "Z side" !
