    That is an absolutely ridiculous and insulting offer from the Khan camp.

    Like others have said, though, McCloskey isn't going to get much better, and should really take the chance. He can just complain after, especially if he's made a good account of himself. Although the contract does bog him down for a long time. I'm sure the rights to the next 3 fights could be removed from it somehow.

    Was wondering though, surely he'd make a lot of money from publicity, TV appearances and such leading up, radio?
    There would be a lot of hype with it being Khan of course, but I'm not too sure how much money that brings in really. Does anyone know as I'm quite curious now?

    McCloskey has already got enough exposure from just being mentioned now he can probably get some bigger fights on his terms. Like I said before just wait about 2 fights and Khans gonna get beat then he can probably get a 50/50 split and options on Khans next 3 fights.

    I don't think he has. In a few months time he'll be back to being known as 'That Irish guy Khan was going to fight"

    I agree with that. He is currently just a name in an article. If he takes the fight, he fights on PPV TV and everyone will know who he is.

    If he gave a good account of himself, he'd give himself a really good platform to build from.

    Obviously if Khan battered him silly, he'd be known as 'That Irish guy who Khan battered'.

    Still a risk worth taking though.

    Even if Khan took him apart, he could use it as an opportunity to build. Nobody now remembers Sergio Martinez as 'That Argie Margarito battered' do they?

    Legacies aren't built by taking an easy fight for the same money at home. Sometimes, you gotta take a chance. If you get battered, use it as a learning curve. Khan did (although he had significent advantages) and Martinez is the prime example of this.
