GBP: Offers Lamont Peterson more than $1.5 million for Khan fight

[lfc19titles]

khan needs to be smart, put money from your own pocket to increase petersons purse by 200-300k to make the fight asap

[KING MEAT]

fuuck yea peterson! get that money!~

[The Big Dunn]

Lamont playing it smart.

Well done.

To the highest bidder.

EXactly. Bleed Khan's ass until he agrees to 50/50 or tell him you'll take 45% but he has to fight Prescott first.

Interesting!!!

Does this imply that Khan doesn't want to take on other challenges "Like he stated" and feel it safer to challenge Peterson again.

I remember when Peterson was being slated for being greedy and pricing himself out of a fight when he turned down the Khan fight in London for $300,000 with the rematch should he win fixed at the same amount. All the Khan fans wee jumping on him with statements like it is his biggest payday ever ,he is a fool and other moron garbage.
By holding out he got $650,000 as mandatory with no rematch clause and is holding out again and can pick up $1.5 Million that is $2.15 for 2 fights which is $1.55 Million MORE than Khan originaly offered him. May this be a lesson to the idiots that slate Khan's opponents as being greedy when they are low balled.
Peterson is in the driving seat and I won't be surprised by the time negotiating is done that he ends up getting $1.8 Million for a remach.

But he wasn't "lowballed". How can getting offered your highest purse be lowballing?

He got into a mandatory position, got more money, got the fight in his hometown, got a gift decision and now is being offered above n beyond what he's actually worth.

Yet people are still saying he shouldn't take it....LOL

What are you missing? Peterson by waiting and not taking the initial offer got $50,000 more for one fight than 2 fights and stands to make another $1.5 Million + in a rematch.
THE LOWBALLING WAS THE DERISORY REMATCH CLAUSE but you only focus on the initial offer not taking into account the nasty rematch clause stipulation.Clearly Peterson has done the right thing.

Im not saying he didn't. He wasn't lowballed though and he also didnt want to fight in England because he didnt feel he'd get a decision.....ironic.

The irony is Team Khan should have offered more money better terms on the rematch clause and the fight would have been in England. There was no way in England if the fight went the distance that Khan would not get the nod.In stead Team Khan signed up for the stinker McCloskey fight to make some easy money. The irony is Team Khan's tight fisted low balling tactics and penchant for lining up canned fights came full circle and bit them on the arse.

No it wouldn't have. Peterson didn't want to fight in England. He also didn't wanna take another L so soon after losing to Bradley and drawing with Ortiz.
