Madonna is shooting himself in the foot, going to purse bid basically means that he must accept the purse of the bid winner, he may very likely end up with less money now instead

It means he's guaranteed 45% of the purse. Which is what he's been asking for all along.

Khan will show his true colors here and duck the fight.

That's what I'm thinking, but I hope not.

This is a high profile fight, no way it get's low balled at the purse bid.

Khan is an overpaid pampered brat. He may bring more to HBO monetarily than someone like Berto and all that. But this shit of his promotional company guaranteeing him over 1 mill a fight is what causes people to not even want to look in Khan's direction. Like for example when the JMM-Khan fight was talked about HBO probably in my estimate only put up 2 mill for the fight. And why the fuck should Khan get a bigger split of that?

I totally understand Nacho's thinking of GBP trying to use Marquez as a stepping stone for this overhyped punk.

This pretty much shows that Khan was lying about Maidaina pricing himself out. He obviously just wants the fight because going to a purse bid may get him less than he was originally offered. Where is wazaa? I expected the biggest Khan nut hugger to be in here with at least 20 posts when his boyfriend is exposed as a liar. SMH.

HBO think it's worth 2 million, at the WBA split, that's around 1.1 million for Khan, 900k for Maidana. This however is 150k short of what Khan wants.

I firmly believe this will not go to purse bids. I think that GBP will want to do a deal before then.

There's only 2 options.

Khan accepts 55% of the purse, or HBO increase their sum to 2.27million in order for Khan to take his 1.25million at 55%
