    £400,000 doesnt even pay for the polish he uses on his helmet, give him atleast 2-3 million, then he'd consider the bout.

    But in all honesty, Katsidis doesnt want any part of Khan at 140, a loss would cost him his WBO interim title at 135. He needs to make full use of the Khan hate brigade by saying Khan ducked him cos he's a banger.
     
  4. That's about $580,000. Not a bad pay check.

    "Casamayor, 38, went top of Khan's list after Marcos Maidana and Michael Katsidis both pulled out."

    I'm sure Khan will still be accused of ducking them.

    What are you on about 2-3 million....you realise this is boxing right?? Not every fighter just earns 2-3 million. Also btw the winning purse bid for the Katsidis-Mitchell fight was $515,000. So Khan offered him pretty much double his last fight.

    I think 1,000,000 USD is fair enough.

    I don't think Katsidis is big enough or technically gifted enough to beat this version of Amir Khan.

    Doesn't this make you question the accuracy of the entire article?

    I think Katsidis wants to see how Khan dispatches with casamayor... and in what fashion first.

    that will give him some insight on what he gotta do...and if he can do it.
