overpricing is becoming a trend with khan...

No, his opponents do.

All his last 5 apponents have had shoddy pays before facing Khan only to cry like b1tches when Khan offers triple the times more money. This is always going to happen with Khan's negotiations as its the opponents chance for a good payday.

These articles about Khan's fight's not being made due to money isn't Khan's fault but the overly hungry ****s that he fights or chooses to negotiate with.

How is offering 50/50 over pricing?

**Phenom** · 05-29-2011, 08:29 PM

kinda of does maybe he should just fight exclusively in the UK since his people don't know how to do business in the U.S

or just keep lions share of the UK revenue Khan ain't **** yet here in the US

no. as soon as theres talk of fightin khan, all the other fighters see is $$$$

2 examples:
lamont peterson vs ortiz, peterson got $100k. against khan wanted $700k
judah v mabuzah, judah got $100k. against khan wants $1.5M

this is why khan negotiations take so long. hes not just gonna give out money, he's not a ****in charity.

everyone asks for way more than they're worth when khan is in the opposite corner

I don't know if I can believe Khan and his team about money issues. I can't recall a fighter having so much trouble, so many time, with getting fights or money problems. Peterson, Bradley, Judah, and we can't forget about Ariza. It just seems very strange.

He is only pushing the buttons. He wasn't expecting this move and his team pulled out all the stops to get Timmy.

Timmy was not happy to sign a fight this summer and they ended up having to negotiate short term.

You gotta play hardball in negotiations, else you get pumped.

I feel playing hardball and he does have the HBO backing so he has some stroke but he does need to get shit done so he ends up getting the super big pay days in the end.

He is at the point he needs the fights to reach that next level when he can truly dictate to guys but getting there takes hard work doing some things you may not like or want to do.

All the numbers are in front of you. Bradley obviously ducked. Khan is bigger in the UK then any American fighter is in the US besides May. In fact he's bigger in the US then a lot of US fighters. Khans a star, and people want to see him. His opponents don't sell the tickets.

This all started when boxers started making more money. They think they are divas now and worth more than anything. Khan however with the 50/50 doesn't come off as one as much.
