Khan vs. Mosley - What do you think?

I don't agree that Peterson would be back to 5 figure paydays at all, surely he could clear $100,000 at VERY least, he's now an AMERICAN world champion, and they don't generally get paid peanuts. That said, as soon as he loses, granted he's back at the bottom of the pile, but the same is true if he takes on Khan and loses.

 

Why do people keep whacking on about this?...as far as I'm aware it was Khan laid in a crumpled heap in the corner and not Prescott...its not Khans place to offer a rematch, its absurd

 

Lol if it was me, I'd definitely want to avenge that by sparking Prescott out! Would you not want to beat Prescott if you were in Khans shoes? :huh

 

Its a completely different situation to the others you highlighted...its Khans place to ask for a rematch, not to give one.

 

Very nice, but what about my question, would you want to KO Prescott if you were Khan?

Do you not think less of Khan for not taking a fight with Prescott, especially as Prescott has offered it do often?

 

I don't think that its necessary....what I would want is moot as I'm not him. At the moment I think that its a backwards step. If he loses again in the near future then I suspect that he will be bashing Prescotts door down...there are significantly more dangerous fights out there for Khan without taking a backwards step. My question....why didn't Buchanan rematch Velazquez or Duran?....or Minter beg Hagler for another chance?

 

He sure will do as he pleases. And that’s to get the best possible deal.

Tell me, which bigger, better offers are you referring to that will guarantee Peterson more money than the 50-50 offer (which goes into the millions) from Khan? If they’re the ones against Pacquiao or possibly Mayweather, then you’re still not getting it, are you? Khan could practically give 100%, and it still won’t come close to what Peterson would get against them guys. In other words, as long as Pacquiao, Mayweather (and even JMM and Bradley - despite not generating the same money) remain possibilities for Peterson, no offer from Khan will be good enough; because as it stands right now, the overall benefits of fighting and beating those guys outweigh the benefits of fighting and beating Khan again.

But if it comes to a point where none of those guys are available, then Khan will be the best and most lucrative fight remaining for him – regardless of whether he is holding a belt or not! Don’t know how many times I have to repeat this, but, holding belts, being the winner, or even being the better fighter, doesn’t always determine the bigger share. Wladimir was holding two titles, was the far more established fighter and champion, and Haye still managed to snatch a 50-50 deal from him that no other fighter could even dream of getting. Why? Because he was a big name and he brought money to the table.

Edit: And to further illustrate my point that no offer from Khan at this moment in time will be good enough, I've just spotted this in the General:

A mouth-watering tournament. Khan could make your 60/40 offer or more, and Peterson will still say no. Because he's got far more attractive possibilities on the table for him.

 

Yeah, that's true. I just had that $25,000 that he got against Victor Ortiz, stuck in my mind. And I imagine he got the same, or less, against Victor Cayo on ESPN.

But the point is: it's better to recieve a million and a half before going back to the bottom of the pile, as opposed to a few hundred thousand.

But personally, I believe he beats Khan again.

 

Your argument is bizarre, how can Khan offer Prescott a rematch? Khan didn't win. There is desperation on Prescott's side because he constantly calls out Khan, yet he has already beaten Khan comprehensively. But how on earth could Khan possibly offer a rematch to someone he lost to?!

 

Cheers youve answered your own question and illustrated the potentially better offers I was referring to within your edit.

 

It's the concept of fighting again to avenge a defeat, its pretty common tbh

 

atsch

Prescott the one hit wonder, who has he beaten since beating Khan of note??

Khan is not really know now for having a weak jaw now, this fight would be low on the list.

Maidana was a alround better fighter and pushed Khan to the limits, but still could not even drop Khan.

 

What he needs to do is stop running from Kell Brook.

No reason for that not to happen exept Kon is scared of losing it

 

I could reverse the question to be honest, Kotelnik ( who Khan referred to as the worst champion in the world) is probably his best victory malgnaggi and Judah were shadows of their former selves and Khan was recently beaten by someone you and most of khans fans didnt think much of.

I don't see how beating Maidana is any revenge for Prescott, though I'm sure in your world it's the same thing! :huh

Khan mightn't have too many other options if he wants to make a load of money in his next fight.

I think Prescott beats Khan again, if they ever fight

 

actually both malinaggi and judah were in good form, malinaggi was coming off his biggest win over Diaz and judah had just beaten mabuza who was a legit 140 campaigner and khan says allot of stupid things the kotelink win is very underated considering it was kotelnik who gave alexander his first loss. kotelink has only been legatimately beaten by khan the witter fight would have been scored a draw at any other neutral venue, and he was robbed badly by mbaye so all things considered it was pretty impressive since it was khans first fight at 140
