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

[Violent Demise]

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.

I really don't understand why he won't take the offer. The man would be making double what he made for what is 95% likely to be less than 3 minutes of work.

Well i think he'd last 3 or 4 rounds. Even then, on a round by round basis he'd technically be earning 4x as much as he did in his last fight.

Not sure what the deal is really. He'll be fighting in prizefighter in 18 months time anyway. May aswell cash in now.

[Fenster]

Double payday sounds perfectly reasonable, however, McCloskey's best payday to date is probably about £30,000, so £60,000 for facing Khan isn't exactly life changing money, is it? He could make more than that with a few defences of the Euro title, in winnable fights.

I believe the main problem with that deal is the rematch options. If McCloskey wins, he fights Khan again for a set cash amount on their promotion. Basically he has to beat Khan TWICE for probably less than £200,000. While Khan would cash in even coming off a loss (all these figures could be way off ).

Somebody seriously needs to tap him on the shoulder, whisper in his ear and remind him "your Paul McCloskey. Your not winning"

I agree, everyone is saying that this McCloskey character should take the deal but if he does win he should be able to cash in on it and not be handcuffed by Khan regarding his promotion and money.....gtfoh

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!

McCloskey and his team are just being stupid. Take double your money and make the fight happen. All this talk about options and all that is just moronic. They sound stupid even debating it. It would make sense if it was Bradley or Alexander arguing it. Ortiz and Peterson I can see too. Judah and even Mabuza would be allowed. But that's not the case. It's Paul McCloskey. You have no fucking chance. Take your money and get this shit over with. All this talk about options like it even matters makes them look like fucking idiots. It's like somebody refusing to accept a life insurance policy cuz the insurance company refuses to cover death by unicorn.

but the money being offered for a fight of this nature is shít! he can make that in two easy fights?

why lining Khans pockets with gold if you are getting nothing in return.

It makes no sense whatsoever.

Did you even read the detail of the offer made? Its fúcking lunancy.

Yes I read it. And they admitted it's twice the amount he's ever made. Unless he some how has a richer option out there he really needs to take the fight. You say he can make that amount in 2 fights. Ok. What happens if he loses in the first fight? I highly possible possibility. Think he still makes up the difference in the second fight?

Khan is not a PPV fighter and any opponent he fights will not get much exposure because no one will see it.

There aren't any European title challengers amongst the worlds best at 140. McCloskey is currently the BEST of the lot. So he will be favourite to win. Against Khan, like you and everyone said, he has no chance.

If I gave you the choice of being battered for $100 or fight two spastics for $50 what would you take? Come on now, it's not even a choice. However, if I offer you $500 to get battered, you now have something to seriously consider.

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.
