    Problem is, Khan's vast wealth from TV deals advertising deals etc have unbalanced the division. In reality he is one the same level as him potential opponents, but acts as if he is above simply because he's rich.
    Realistically he has to fight someone so he may as well pay out abit more.

    How can you call him Greedy when you don't know the offer? :huh

    Last time I checked, Khan was the World Champ, not McCloskey.

    If Paul doesn't like it, why doesn't he work his way up and go through the other people (Victor Ortiz, Marcos Maidana) to get the mandatory shot against Khan and then enforce a 55-45 split instead?

    I'm sure he prefer's that route.

    McCloskey is lucky to even be mentioned. If he doesn't want it, then Khan will move onto the next fighter. Plenty more where that came from.

    Khan is not the world champ. He holds a portion of it. He has not proven he is the number one.

    Regardless Khan is entitled to try not to pay too much and McCloskey should take his chance if he thinks he can beat him.

    God I hate shite like this that encourages people to pluck these stupid figures right out of their ass. You don't know WTF McCloskey has been offered, it might have been an insulting amount it might have been reasonable. Point is nobody knows and making **** up does not help.

    He holds a portion of it? :huh Who holds the other half then? Because from what I know, Khan just faced the Interim titlist (the 'other portion') and beat him. That makes him 100%, the full WBA 140 Pound title holder.

    :lol:

    Come on Laz, McCloskey's ranked number 5 by the WBA, and Khan isn't going to fight the 1 & 2 - Maidana and Ortiz. McCloskey deserves his chance.

    80-20 would be more than fair given that Khan brings all the money but I doubt McCloskey's even being offered that.

    Prescott would not need to sell the fight.

    That fight is by a mile the easiest sell and would by far do the biggest numbers over here.

    Please do explain if you think I'm wrong.
