So..... Brook-Khan will never happen then?

Just reading their twitter exchanges - love Brook's 'Wanker' emoji

I get what you're saying but come on 70-30 is an 'I don't want it' offer

yeah 70-30 seems a bit too much of a gap

I would not care as long as I get the sum I wanted but pride and principle means that you do not want your opponent to get way more than you.

That is a major factor in this as they hate each other so much that they do not want to give the other an inch.

It is part of the negotiation and I think they will come to a compromise.

It would be nice, start out with a 30-30 leave 40% up for grabs if it's a draw then 50-50 if it's a decision 60-40 and if it's a KO 70-30....wouldn't be horrible to test that out especially with undercard bouts first.

Ultimate payment by results.

70-30 is taking the piss even as a starting point for negotiations. If he's not moving off 70% then he doesn't really want the fight.

Great idea, only problem is you get so many dodgy decisions that it'd never work out, one boxer clearly wins the fight, the home judges give it the other way, not only does the (flase) winner keep his 0 but he also gets the lions share of the money

there is too much scrutiny on judges from fans for that idea to ever work, in a perfect world then yeah definitely it would be great.

Perhaps the crowd would more accurately judge the fight? IDK something outrageous like that might need to happen in boxing

That's exactly what Brook has done (more or less) offering Khan a 70-30 purse to the winner Very clever move by Brook/Hearn and Khan is now firmly backed into a corner and will look an absolute wanker if he doesn't agree to it.

Kell Brook sends fight ultimatum to Amir Khan after money spat | GiveMeSport

[El Kabong]

This is yet another "BAD RIVALRY"


Kell and Amir hate each other, I mean DESPISE each other! They are going to attempt to humiliate each other in the ring!



The purse is what? Nah, nah that ain't happening.





Don't give me fake hatin' Amir Khan! I want the REAL bleeding from the eyes urge to kill hatred....at least before the fight, but I guess we will just have to accept the fact that Amir just doesn't have the sack for this fight.
