That's still a low ball offer. From what I just read it's usually 65/35 with the 65 for the champ and 35 for the challenger from the alphabet orgs like the WBA, WBC, IBF, etc.

HBO is putting up 2 million for the fight. So Maidana is entitled to 700k. 561k is under 30%. That's low balling someone. This is still a business.

It was usually 65/35 in their cases.Not even Floyd, Manny, or even Oscar took home more than 70% of everything like that. And Khan is no where near their level. Maidana wants a fair deal and he's entitled to it.

Low ball offer he has never earnt over $120k in any fight, he probably earnt about half of that in his last fight in Argentina. Khan is the draw here like I said Maidana is a nobody like it or lump it he is the one doing the ducking he has never topped a big bill in his life, Maidana needs to man up and realise who the cash cow is here and it aint him.

So mate giving someone there biggest pay day by three time the amount is not a fair offer? He won't earn anywhere near that fighting anyone else at 140.

Apparently he did the same in the negotiations with Bradley, like you say this is a business and with or without Maidana Khan makes money Maidana makes fuck all without Khan, he needs to man up and take this huge pay rise.

He is officially ducking Khan if this is this case.
