    Khan's an idiot. He talks mad **** and then fights Paulie ****ing Malignaggi. What a ****in joke. Breidis Prescott is his daddy and now he's gonna get knocked out cold, again.

    Don't get me wrong, he's a pretty good fighter but this is survival of the fittest and Maidana is gonna knock this mother****er out mark my words.

    HBO will pay 1.7 Million for the fight in the UK and the 55/45 split does not give Khan his 1.2Million that Golden Boy promised him. This is the reason for the reluctance to fight Maidana. I see this fight going ahead in the US now where HBO said they will pay 2 million for it.

    The majority of Khon's fans are Muslims, they are not boxing fans, they support him because
    he's a Muslim.

    Maidana doesn't deserve 45%. He is not a draw.

    No, they supported Ali because he was great fighter,
    Now if Khon had some balls he would get allot more support.

    Lazarus you maniac, don't get so worked up. And to the guy asking if Lazarus is a muslim arab.. Khan isn't one of these either. 3000KM in the wrong direction

    Firstly, I guess Khan is seething after yesterday saying it couldn't go to purse bids.

    Secondly for people claiming HBO is offering 1.7million for the fight in the UK, this is incorrect. They will only offer that if its in the UK but live on U.S prime... who is going to stay in an arena till 4am to watch Khan-Maidana?!, the offer for UK primetime, U.S tape delayed was 750k.

    Now the situation gets tricky...

    Perhaps GBP, if they cannot meet Khans gaurantee on their 3 fight deal will have to sit out of the bidding if they cannot get 2.27million purse (for the 1.25million at 55%)

    I personally think it would be hillarious if Frank Warren won it!, he already has a bill that night too to put it in!

    Lazarus maybe new to boxing and a Khan hugger, clearly you can relate to Khan due to heritage nothing wrong with that, also you come across as quite honest so no hate to ya...

    however I see khan vacating as he has never wanted this , this is why it has dragged on, he gonna quack and then duck:yep

    And Khan is? Maybe in the UK Khan can get a full house, but so can Maidana in his home-country. Khan is not a greater draw in the US than Maidana is. And anyway, Maidana is the interim title holder, he is entitled to 45%, it is unfair of Khan to offer him any less. The worst thing is that Khan would probsbly beat Maidana if they fought, so why all this dilly-dallying?

    Who cares where a fan is from and why they like him? Every time there's a Khan thread and people defend him, you get comments like "Are you Muslim?"...so what if they are? Who gives a ****? It's just pointless, honestly.

    Anyway, this is just business. Neither man is avoiding, they both just want as much money as possible. That's the story, end of.

    Team Con will switch to Morales!!! Watch this space! Team Con ask Maidana to take like 25% AND fight in Khan's backyard! That's low-balling 101!!!
