I have a feeling that the winner of Bradley/Alexander will also be lowballed from Khan's team in the future, probably something like a 99/1 split in favor of Khan.

This seems to be a trend with Khan and his team. Even tonight on Sky Khan has been repeating the lies and tactfully avoided discussing what really happened with Ariza. Low balling opponents is just not cool. Even if you just want a stay busy opponent then you should compensate them sufficiently. It should never be less than 60/40 IMO and every fighter should adhere to it and adapt accordinly to the level of the opponent. Anything less is a slap in the face for what it takes to get in the ring.

khan said the offer was not only 3 times, but maybe 4 or 5 times what he had in his last fight. Then said the Ariza split was because he didnt agree with what he was doing in training. I would like him to elaborate on that....

Yeah, looked like a lot of bullshit to me. Same old, same old with Khan and Co.

I'm not a huge fan of Con the way i am of Manny Pacquiao and was of Joe Calzaghe. I'm only an average fan of Con. It's pretty obvious Con wants to dictate everything here. Some of his counter offers are just moronic (25% on sales over 200000). But at the same time doesn't Paul McCloskey realize he's only Paul McCloskey? Why the fuck is he trying to negotiate like he's actually somebody? He's no Tim Bradley or Marcos Maidana. He ain't even a Julio Diaz or Willy Blain. Bradley and Maidana are 2 of the division top stars. Diaz is a shot former champion. But he was a champion. Blain at least can say he's a 2 time Olympian amateur star. Paul McCloskey is like Paul McCloskey. And Paul McCloskey's don't get to make demands. His team admitted the offer was twice what he ever made. Does he not know getting doubled what you ever made is actually a good thing? Unless his previous highest purse was $12 dollars what the fuck is the problem? Your Paul McCloskey. How much have you deluded yourself into thinking your worth? It's obvious Con is deadly afraid of Precott and wants the easiest fight possible. So do everyone a favor and take the fight. The faster you accept the faster this charade is over. Not only that but the chances of you losing to a fellow scrub like Graeme Higginson or Peter McDonagh are pretty fucking high. I doubt the offer will still be on the table after that

You earn X amount of money for your previous fight, would you like to earn twice as much as that and have a crack at a 'world' title?

It seems like a pretty straight forward choice to me?

That said Khans mob do sound like muppets in general.

You think so?

Maybe McCloskey should take the fight for free just to ensure that Khan earns over £2m. And sign over all rights to any future earnings as well!

Anyone defending the slavery contract offered to McCloskey ISN'T a boxing fan!

Agreed 100%. I don't see how McCloskey has deluded himself into thinking he deserves more. I don't enjoy watching his fights, he's not that entertaining. He's not world class and I don't think he ever will be. Take the fight now and hope to get lucky, because I don't see him getting himself into a box office position. - I'm glad he hasn't though, almost every other name in the frame is a fight I'd rather see.

The poor bastard.

Nobody really knows who is. To Joe Casual he's not much different to Graham Earl. He'll have been offered close to what he offered Peterson. It's not like a loss to Khan is going to impact his future earning potential. If he makes a good show of it it will probably improve things for him.

He might aswell lose to Khan on Sky Box Office, in front of a couple of thousand Irish fans and a couple of hundred thousand PPV'ers, in the UK at 10pm.

It surely beats fighting a few more tomato cans before losing to someone like Ortiz/Maidana at 3am in Foxwoods Casino, infront of about 75 travelling Irishman and a UK/Irish TV audience that's can't even compete with one of them middle of the night quiz phone-in shows that you get on challenge TV. That's if he's lucky. It might not even make the telly.
