Team McCloskey reveal (in detail) why fight with Khan is off

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.
