Wow @ Khan still fighting after losing 80% of his purse!

What respect?The dude is a moron and his family should concentrate on driving cabs and not trying to do things they have no talent in.Mayweather would have organised things properly but this bunch of misers try to get everyone to fight for free,that wont work.Driving a cab and running boxing shows are totally different things.What an embarassment this idiots are to the boxing community.I'm glad Sky would not take his bull**** and know Primetime wont broadcast this rubbish because they wont be able to recoup their costs.

His family aren't good for his boxing career overall but that's a common theme in boxing and doesnt just apply to khan's situation alone. Why do you think Mayweather dropped his dad?

I bet he'd cancel if he could but he has an obligation with HBO so he has no choice. Dude is in a ****ty position right now IMO, that's a HUGE paycut.

[Earl-Hickey]

I'm glad he's still fighting, and hopefully Primetime gets some more attention because of this

Much respect because your damn right those fools would have backed down from this fight IMMEDIATELY but Khan stuck in there. Sadly enough 80% of the MMA fighters in the UFC would kill to be paid like that for 1 fight. Their champs only make if there lucky over one hundred thousand most of the time.

shuda just fought a legit opponent. stop trying to rob everybody blind. while he's @ it, maybe they shoulda paid ariza instead of hiring that 24 hour fitness reject they got from southern california.

After a real tough fight it makes sense for any fighter to take a stay busy fight. McCloskey is no joke though, he looks like a fairly talented boxer with an unorthodox style. Just because he's not a big name it doesn't make him a bum. In the past few days alone, look what Ishida did to Kirkland, what Rubio did to Lemieux.

It's just a tuneup to stay busy and give the fans in England a fight, since Khan's focusing his career in America right now. 250,000 pounds isn't too shabby for an easy fight.

how is this an easy fight?

[MARKBNLV]

Poor khan he is only making what most do in 5 years.FOR A EASY FIGHT

Amir should be comended. McCloskey is a real contender too not just a keep busy fight either.

...reducing Khan’s take from £1.25 million to £250,000.

That has helped guarantee the unbeaten McCloskey the biggest pay-night of his career, around £100,000, even though his purse has been trimmed.

Shah Khan added: ‘In real terms Amir is paying McCloskey out of his own pocket but he’s okay with that because he has always wanted to come back from the US for this fight in front of his home fans.’
