Jesus, everyone is jumping on Khan's balls already saying he has bottled it when nothing has been announced.
From what I've read Maidana has asked for $1m from Goldenboy. HBO have only offered $2m for the fight and you'd think Khan would be getting the bigger split as he's the champion. I'm not sure how much they'd get from the gate etc but I did read that Khan said Maidana is asking for too much. Not because he's interested in what Maidana gets, simply because there isn't enough in the pot to pay both fighters if Maidana gets $1m
If that's the truth you could argue it's Maidana pricing himself out of the fight. I doubt for a second he's scared but he may be being a little greedy.
