Thaxton wanted £300,000

[PeROxiDE]

So your telling me, with all the exposure that Khan has, and the media hype wagon behind him, they couldnt afford to pay Thaxton £300000? That fight would be huge domestically, probably generating almost as much revenue as Enzo vs Haye, and they will both be earning at least that ammount.

Its not unreasonable for him to ask that much, after all its his title that Khan wants, and for Frank not to pay it is criminal. Khan may not be ducking Thaxton himself, but Frank the Wank certainly doesnt want his pension getting in there with him else he would be able to pay that ammount.

Your a ****ing idiot if you believe Thaxton deserves £300,000 / $650,000

He probably has'nt earned that in his whole career, 8 Million people in UK watch Khan fights, Thaxton? Not even 8000 probably. Matt Skelton is'nt even getting that much fighting Ruslan Chagaev for the Heavyweight title.

coming from anyone but frank warren i might have believed them

That's ******, Thaxton is nobody he is a domestic name Pavlik was left with £300,000 after the Taylor fight and paying his trainers thats just over $600,000 and I'm guessing Thaxtons Trainer etc doesn't cost as much as Pavliks. That just Idiotic, I'd say £100,000 is about right.

depends on how much Wank Warren can make selling the fight, if he puts it on in bolton then yes the money is about right or if he can make it a joint main event with some other big fight Thaxton should get it, but Wank Warren has a way of telling a story thats just not quite the full picture.

i never trust anything frank warren says, e.g the haye fight wouldnt a she couldnt get options but it happened. Thaxton offered amir 300k that was fact, thaxton was going to get around 100k. Amir does not get 500k a fight he gets around 200k tops and will get up to 300k for his fight with the danish lad.

With the Sponsors, Endorsements, etc. he does. ITV has a contract with him, and they pay him a huge amount of money for his fights along with his guaranteed payday's.

My view, is that if Thaxton was offered a career high purse, there is no reason why he necessarily has to accept it. If it goes to purse bids, then Thaxton and Khan get the market value of the fight, whatever that is. Why wouldn't Thaxton have every right to insist on that, if he thinks it is in his best interests?

Fact is, is that it's Khan that has pulled out of the fight. Perhaps some people think that is all good, because Khan has better people to fight or whatever. Fine. But it's Khan that has pulled out.

The fight can still be on! Khans opponent backed out after gettign a flu or something.

So thaxton vs. Khan can still happen !
