im curious as too how much money is too much for team Khan?

Ive no doubt all the opponents are asking for their biggest payday, but i wander roughly what percentage of Amir's purse that would work out at. If they are (for example) asking for 200K, what would Khans end be? Over 1M, 2M? 80-20 split is reasonable

What kind of figure are they asking for does anyone know?

all of a sudden khan thinks he's the best thing in boxing now....i guess they'll continue to use opponents' money demands as an excuse as to why he can't get opponents.......

These boxers should not ask 1 mil to fight Khan. Khan is not a draw yet.

when boxers like peterson are asking for 500 thousand pounds which is like 2-3 times above their biggest pay day, plus a share of the hbo money, then khan has every right to say good buy since he is the one making the money

A truley confident, hungry fighter would fight him for nothing.
After all he's an 'over protected' over hyped, 'chinny' Brit.. Should be an easy way to catapult yourself Into the limelight.

there's as much chance of that happening as Khan fighting Mayweather for free
