Maidana: "Cheap" Khan Will Never Fight Me Again

By Jhonny Gonzalez

Sebastian Contursi, adviser to junior welterweight Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27KOs) has issued a statement through the press in Argentina on behalf of his boxer to respond to the printed claims of WBA champion Amir Khan. Contursi and the boxer are upset over a statement that Khan made - “Maidana had asked for a stupid number to fight me and then came to his senses and accepted the second offer”.

Maidana called the Khan statement a "lie." and went further by saying "what kind of bulls**t did he say now, about me coming to my senses? Khan needs to come to his senses and made a decision as to whether not he wants to be a boxer or a promoter? He is selfish and cheap and offers poor purses to his opponents."

Now Maidana would like to get his hands on Khan for a rematch of last year's "fight of the year" but he doesn't believes it will happen.

"Everybody wants the rematch. Khan will never fight me again. He will never take the risk after barely winning the first time with his damaged face. And he will always use the subject of money to avoid the fight."
