    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.

    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"

    In that case there is no need to take the fight, right? He might as well make that money defending his Euro title

    Unless Calzaghe makes a return and is in need of an opponent what other chance does McCloskey have of actually being the main event on a PPV show?

    What does PPV matter if you're not getting any money for it? And even worse, like you said, gets slaughtered in a round.

    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
