Does Amir Khan Deserve 50/50 Purse Split Against Floyd Mayweather?

Mayweather is known in the UK for the most part among boxing fans only, whereas Khan is known by the much wider general public, he's a well-known celebrity. It really wouldn't be close if you did a nationwide poll over in the UK, 5% would know who Mayweather was whereas 90% would know Khan. not surprising because he has been in the limelight and media ever since he was 17. Did you just waste your time replying to that?

lol,,, how can this be a serious question,, how many ppv's has khan headlined, ZERO No way he deserves 50/50 vs floyd, khan should be given a flat fee of 3 or 4 mil, and maybe 50/50 split of the british ppv money,,, thats about it Percentage wise that wouldn't be an enormous amount but as a flat fee in it's own right I guess it would be Khan's biggest payday to date so it's not entirely unreasonable I'll admit..

I have more fans in the UK than Khan does." http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aKDYQF7uiSQ/Tnd8YnOK-bI/AAAAAAAAA84/WauR7lxi7H4/s1600/mayweatherjr.jpg - Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather is known in the UK for the most part among boxing fans only, whereas Khan is known by the much wider general public, he's a well-known celebrity.

I think a fair split - let Khan keep the UK PPV £££'s and Floyd the US $$$'s. "What would I do that for? I have more fans in the UK than Khan does." http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aKDYQF7uiSQ/Tnd8YnOK-bI/AAAAAAAAA84/WauR7lxi7H4/s1600/mayweatherjr.jpg - Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Well I'd say 30% to Khan is kind, he's still quite a big draw in the UK and will bring in quite a bit of revenue but he doesn't deserves the fight and I'm saying that as a Khan fan - Garcia, Bradley and even Pacquiao should be ahead of him. Khan needs to win a Welterweight title or a rematch against Garcia before he gains some respect again, his last performance was shocking, he was a better fighter when he was with Freddie Roach and had Alex Ariza as his strength and conditioning coach, he's only looked average since and his chin looks more suspect than ever now. Imo he became too much of a pattern fighter under Roach, he had speed but he kept repeating the same patterns and combinations so he was becoming predictable. I think Hunter is trying to make him more diverse and unpredictable which will take time to perfect. Whether Hunter is the right trainer, who knows for sure? Hunter is Khan's 4th trainer as a pro so the collaboration might not be career-long.

What a waste of server space this thread is.

Khan does not deserve the fight so I say Khan deserves only 5 percent.

Man. 90/10 Khan because he won a silver and Floyd won a bronze. Praise OP for his insight

i thought mayweather wanted fighters to avenge their loses before he fought them? (pacquiao; bradley, marquez) khan still has prescott, garcia & peterson to go.. this is one confusing aszs dude. smhFloyd only says that when he doesn't want to fight somebody. Almost all of his opponents had losses they never reversed.He also only fights guys at a weight they are comfortable at except when he doesn't.

what a stupid question.of course he does

WTF Do You Think? Honestly! :no:

Parity?? Hahaaa!!

Amir Khan doesn't even deserve to fight Mayweather let alone a 50/50 split on the money.

Hope Showtime quickly recognize they cant sell this and fans dont want it

screw the money, just make the damn fight

Informative post, thanks. So what would be your estimate of a reasonable flat fee for Khan?

Pac in his prime didn't deserve half of the purse so why the hell would Amir Kahn deserve it? lmfao

IF that fight happens Mayweather will probably do what he usually does… offer the other opponent a flat fee and then keep everything else for himself. Ever since he beat De La Hoya (where the fight was 60:40 to Oscar) Mayweather has always had the higher percentage (and so he should) – that’s the main reason him and Pacquiao never came to an agreement, Pacquiao wanted 50:50 to start but eventually offered 55:45 to Floyd and he rejected those terms, instead offering Pacquiao a flat fee of 40mil but that fight was worth a very minimum of 100mil at the time.
