Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Maidana Will Not Take Short Money For Khan

[Ray*]

Money shouldnt be a problem for this fight, They could stage it in the UK and it would sell without too much problem, I dont think GBP want the fight for Khan yet so they are laying down the groundwork for an excuse by talking about HBO input!

[GRUSTLER]

After Oscar De La Hoya made Floyd all that money from their fight,
all the other young fighters started follwoing the same formula
beause before that, I remember when Boxers/fighters actually wanted
at each other. Now it's just ungrateful, fighters not even proven,
demanding big money from guys that their on the same level with.
I say Kahn and Maidana split the $ down the middle. These guys
want to make Floyd/Pacquiao money but don't have Floyd/Pacquiao
appeal or engine behind them. PLUS Floyd and Pacquiao early in their
careers were fighting everyone they needed to get the paydays
their getting now. Guys like Berto and Kahn are not evening
trying to break a nail and want big bucks. Maybe Kahn and Berto
should fight each other in a event titled "2 HYPED".

Maidana already spoiled Golden Boy's plans when he made
Victor Ortiz quit. Think Schaefer learned from his past
mistake.

I like GBP... I think they get a lot of **** in situations where they shouldn't (HBO relationship) and too little praise for the good (Fight Night Club).

But this right here seems like Schaefer is trying to plant a seed of doubt, so Khan doesn't look too bad if a duck occurs. Statements have come out back to back to back on different days, from Khan to Maidana and now Schaefer.

If GBP says that they can't find enough money for a Khan-Maidana fight with HBO licensing fee, UK PPV, attendance, sponsorship, and Argentinan TV money than someone is bull****ting.

Yea, well that's what happens when promotional companies promise high dollar guaranteed purses to these new up and coming stars. The only way they can make a profit themselves after that is if the opponent is willing to take little money.... when the opponent doesn't, and their stars can't get anyone to fight them for peanuts, they then become *cough* "The most Avoided fighter" LOL!

maidanna should be happy with what he gets. even at 10% he'd be getting his biggest payday of his career.

Khan the champion, khan's the one who brings all the money...Maidanna needs to man up and take the fight, it could land him in the big league if he wins

[Mr. Philadel]

So who's pricing themselves out? Is it Maidana or Khan?

Maidana is...big time....Khan brings the gold, the goods and the goons(as Paulie found out at the weigh in ).....Khan aka Mr. Reebok is the draw.

Khan is a ****sucking f@ggot, just like his countryman David Haye.

Why fight your mandatory when you can deep throat a big fat c*ck for $500?

50 c*cks a day * 500 = $25,000 a day for Amir just to suck dudes off.

He can make a pretty good living stuffing c*cks into his glass jaw.

guess you got experience from watching your mom and her clients,you're just a ****** imbecile yankee, highschool drop out and failed ********.

Is this the norm in this sport? He's getting this or he is getting that? Shut up and fight. If you win that just further enhances your resume and gets you bigger fights in the long run. Khans the draw and deserves 65 to 70% of the money. Maidana is no draw and will not ever be a draw unless he fights a guy like Khan, so suck it up and win this fight. This sport is full of ******* and I expect the fight not to come off.

but if Khan wants to prove himself he should be willing to compromise more than usual...
