Comments Thread For: Team Khan: Maidana Has Not Agreed, Asking For Big Bucks

[wazaa.]

khan only wants the fight in the UK so he can pull this stunt, since he is the one who will sell the event in the UK(oviously) he wants Maidana to take 300K and he will take like 3.5 mills. Thats ridiculous

LOL !! Nothing, i repeat nothing justifies Maidana getting 1.6 million dollars to fight Khan. Maidanas biggest pay day is 300k and now he is asking 1.6m to fight Khan? Maidana shoudl settle for 500k.

If Maidana is so confident in beating Khan, why doesnt he agree for 500 k? After he beats Khan he can then go ask for the big money.

how much is Khan getting? I don't consider either of these fight deserving of a bigger cut.

There is 2 million to split on TV revenue.

Theres a reason why people want to see this fight and is not just because of Khan. Maidana just sold 16K seats vs Corley in argentina. I say 65-35 split for Khan. 700K for Maidana and 1.3 millions for Khan.

From espn.com

Schaefer said. "I talked to Khan's attorney and I made him an offer for Khan to fight Maidana and I am waiting to hear back. HBO made an offer for the fight, and based on that offer, I also went to Maidana and I'm waiting for his response, but it looks good." England's Khan probably will take some time to finalize the fight as he is doing relief work in flood-ravaged Pakistan, where his family is from. HBO's offer for Khan-Maidana, according to a source, is $2 million if it takes place in the United States, $1.75 million if it's in England, but live in U.S. prime time and $750,000 if it's in England and airs on tape-delay in U.S. prime time. Schaefer wouldn't comment on the figures. If Victor Ortiz defeats Vivian Harris on Sept. 18, he could appear on the undercard. Ortiz also fought on Khan's undercard in May as Golden Boy builds toward a possible showdown.

Marcos Maidana Statement
“Khan should take his nose from my payday”

By Maidana Team

Once again, as it has happened in the last few weeks, the highly anticipated fight between WBA Super Lightweight champions Amir Khan and Marcos Maidana has been bombarded by the British fighter, who keeps saying Maidana is asking for too much money. El Chino decided to answer Khan Team by telling them “don’t stick your nose where it shouldn’t be. My payday for that fight is out of your business. Just focus on your preparation and let’s meet December 11.”

“It’s ridiculous. Instead of be willing for this fight to finally happen, in the last few weeks Amir Khan has seemed to be more focused on how much I should earn. Who this guy thinks he is? He thinks he makes the rules of boxing. First, he ran scared from me during almost one year. Now he wants to be the one setting when and where we face each other. Not only that, he wants to determine what my payday should be!,” Maidana said.

“Khan should take his big nose off my own negotiations with Golden Boy Promotions and concentrate on the fight. Of course I won’t take short money for this bout since it’s a big fight. But I make it clear that I’m not overpricing myself at all since I badly want Khan next December 11,” the Argentinean added.
