Lamont Peterson to make $2 million+ for Khan rematch

[Mayweather41-0]

The last known offer to Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KO) for a rematch with Khan was $1.5 million and a 50-50 share of all revenues, including Khan's UK TV deal with Sky Sports. It's a great deal for Peterson, by far a career-best payday for him, and an opportunity to prove remaining skeptics wrong.

Peterson, who earned $650,000 for the first fight and rejected a $1 million offer for the rematch shortly after the first fight, will make "substantially more than $1 million," Fried said, although he did not divulge the terms.

Khan, who has a contract with HBO in the United States and Sky in England, brings substantial money to the fight but wanted the rematch so badly that he gave 50 percent of the worldwide revenue that the fight will generate to Peterson.

Pretty much the same deal Bradley puussied out of.

Good for Lamont. Even though he lost the first fight, I felt his performance warranted recognition and now he's getting it.

he doesn't deserve $2 Million

I normally do not care that much about fighters purses but this is very refreshing to see a kid that grew up homeless in DC who fought his way to the top and now making this kind of money you got to respect the hustle.

Smart man.

Lamont did it right.

When Peterson didn't take immediate rematch for 1 Mil:
The man's a pussssy chicken who stole the belts and trying to make it out easy!

Now he accepts rematch for 2 Mil.....
Once again, it's business

I guess the bidding war from top rank and gb helped him get a bigger purse, good for him. Wish he would have took the Marquez fight though, A Mere Con didn't win the first fight.... I hope they silence that glass jawed faggot this time around.
