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.
