Probably trying to get the most money out of this fight, since he or his team might be questioning if he can beat Khan. Khan definitely has to be favored to win this fight, his technical skills and Freddie roach in his corner probably will make him dominate over Maidana.Comment

he might think he'll lose to khan so he'll only want to fight him for as much money as possible.Comment

But Maidana wanting a purse bid can't be ducking, as it's a resolution to the barrier that's preventing the fight from being made. If he just wanted Khan to vacate, then yes. I'd agree that's ducking.Comment

It's hard to tell -
9. Disbursements of Bids Proceeds. The boxers’ Purse shall be distributed as
follows:
a. 75% to the Champion and 25% to the Challenger.
b. 50% to each contender in the case of vacant titles or elimination bouts.
c. 55% to the Champion in Recess and 45% to the Interim Champion, in the
event of such a bout.
The W.B.A defines a champion in recess as a boxer who can't defend his belt due to medical reasons. Well that doesn't cover Khan, so I'm not sure how purse bids will work?Comment

That's fine, I think he'll lose to. But requesting a purse bid resolves the barrier to the fight, allowing it to be made. I don't see how that's ducking.Comment

he's overpricing himself.
it's not as obvious a duck like when he faked a back injury to get out of the bradley fight though.Comment

I just worry that this will all backfire, and Khan vs Maidana won't be made. I'm not crazy, I don't want to see Khan fight another made to suit fighter, because I believe he will KO Maidana early. But there is no need for Maidana to publicly declare Khan is ducking him, when it appears to be the other way around.Comment
