A source with knowledge of the details advised BoxingScene.com that Saturday's fight between Amir Khan (26-2, 18KOs) and Lamont Peterson (30-1-1, 15Kos) did not involve a rematch clause, and Golden Boy Promotions does not have any options on Peterson. basically, the ball is in Peterson's court. Contrary to various information being ciculated, a rematch is not remotley close to being confirmed or finalized.
Peterson would make more money fighting Khan than any other JWW. He's be getting something like a 60-40 split in his favour seeing as though he's the champ and Khan has no bargaining chip. It would probably be 50-50 if he were fighting Bradley.
wont be suprised if top rank tries to sign peterson now.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think this could happen.
Lamont vs Bradley rematch for Unified Title. Bradley wins and defends 2-3 times at JWW with other boxers except Khan. This forces Khan to move to WW at gets his arses handed to him and destroys a GBP's asset.

he would make more money if he took 2 more fights & THEN fought khan...it makes no sense to go into a rematch right away with khan because peterson isn't a superstar like khan. he needs to milk this for at least 2 fights & then he can cash out with khan. it's all about making the most money as possible in this situation if you're peterson because he's no superstar..........
i don't think a immediate rematch will happen....
peterson will want his money & then cash out again with a khan fight..............
