    he's got a huge fanbase that has yet to be tapped: the pakistani fanbase. they bring tons more money than african american fighters outside of mayweather.

    and they travel well and spend more money. will help the vegas economy

    You cannot be serious? Unfair? If he beats Khan then he'll be making over a million a fight. Who brings all the fans to the arena?

    Oh stop whining. If you’re still failing to understand why Khan’s getting more money, then go off and think it through. Besides, as fans do we really care who’s getting what? All that matters is that the two have agreed to fight, and will be entering the ring on even terms (weight, gloves, venue etc).

    Seems a little unfair pay wise but then again this is maidanas chance to hit the big time, beat khan and bigger paydays will follow, he will be the guy fighting to unify the division plus khan brings in more cash and will probably continue to do so as long as doesnt lose again

    Yes, it will be his highest purse, but it will also be Khan's highest purse too. The Not saying he will win, but I sense Maidana is coming to win & has real belief!

    I hope he KO's Khan!

    Sky Sports i think it is box office because it says khan will have money coming in from other sources

    So he's getting paid based on potential to be a draw?

    Got it.

    Two quotes from that article contradict each other. It says Maidana was willing to fight in the UK and Khan wanted it here, but that would have meant Maidana getting more money?

    What's the truth?

    I used to like Khan but he is a real **** lets face it.

    He has this fake image of being a nice guy doing this doing that.

    But behind the scenes he boasts of money takes the **** out of fighters who dont earn as much as him etc. And talks loads of bollocks with his double ****ing chin.

    I would rather see kell brook ko him but maidana will do just fine.

    I never ever said i wanted to see a fighter get knocked out before either.

    what can i say im strange like that.

    I would hardly call twitter behind the scenes, did you hear this through the grapevine?
