I remember reading from another boxing forum that Montiel got around 500k fighting Hasegawa in Japan. And this is a 118 pound fight.
But who is Peterson Bulldog? Khan like it or not is a cash cow in the uk, he could fight a blind donkey and still get big money, Peterson is not worth more than 200k he brings nothing to the fight financially, he is getting paid very well he would of never seen that sort of money before for one fight, what other shots will he get? If he gets another shot he won't make anywhere near that amount silly decision really.
