Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Both Khan and Maidana Made Concessions

[Joe2608]

**** PPV i want it for free.

[wazaa.]

According to ESPN, Khan gets $1.5 million (USD) and Maidana gets $.55 million (USD) plus an undisclosed bonus if he wins. That does not include UK TV money Khan gets.

The concession that Amir made was the fight location and the concession that Maidana made was money. Amir wanted to fight in the UK according to Sky Sports. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...379218,00.html

If this is in fact true, you can count on Maidana Knocking out Khan for SURE. Khan has a glass chin, Maidana can take a punch. Maidana only needs to connect with one good shot to Khans fragile chin and follow threw with hard pounding flurries and it's a wrap..... Khan's gravy train is OVER!!! And I hope he looses... He's one ****Y moda****ka.... And ****K all of you Brits....

Khan got this.

I'm glad it's going ahead; and going ahead over in America. The sport needs more of the glitz of Vegas fight nights.

If that's true then Maidana screwed himself. According to my calculations Khan is getting about 73.17% of the purse. And Maidana is getting about 24.39% of the purse.

Maidana should have held out and let it go to purse bid. That way at least it would be a 55/45 split!

That was probably the concession he made. Maidana agrees to lower percentage, but he gets a bonus if he wins. Just goes to show how confident he is and how much he wants the fight.

Just like how it's supposed to be.

Exactly.

[Grimmer]

the fight will not be on sky ppv in england because it simply will not do enough business.....

will be on itv or sky sports 1 again

It'll be on Sky Box Office. No question.

They put Khan v Salita/Prescott/***an on SBO.

It might be on at 4 in the morning but so was Hatton when he was fighting on Sky Box Office and Khan is almost as big as Hatton was, he's a household name anyway. Add to the fact that this is legitimate opponent who can punch. Sky will have no problem selling this fight for £15, even if it is on at 4am.

Not a chance this is on regular Sky Sports. Sky Box Office, definitely.
