Prior to the Maidana fight, Alex Ariza was always paid by Roach. This payment arrangement is confirmed in one of HBO's 24-7 episodes where Ariza tells us his story of how he first got involved with Roach.
For some reason, this process changed recently. Roach informed Ariza he can no longer pay him through his salary, and that he (Ariza) would need to arrange contracts on his own with fighters. Now this is where the problem occurred.
It's has always been Khan's management team who dealt with working out the contracts for Amir, and it was them who Ariza needed to go to in order to get a contract created so he could get paid for his services. However, Ariza went straight to Khan himself. During the final week of preparation leading up to the fight, the fighter has his mind focused on the task at hand . The last thing he needs to worry about is sorting out a contract, when it's not even his job to do so. Khan's team obviously found out about this, and were annoyed that Ariza went behind their back and tried to work out a new contract with their fighter with out going through them first.
