    Fair enough by Team Mccloskey.

    Team Khan being their usually penny pinching tight ******* greedy selves. Not wanting to pay anyone anyone decently. Then accusing the others of pricing themselves out.

    No...how about you stop being tight and pay people decently

    Woah woah, let's not jump to conclusions.

    Too many people jumping a conclusion without knowing ANY figures.

    From what McCloskey's team said in that, is that they deserved to get paid well. For all we know, it could be similiar to what Maidana was paid, but we don't know.

    I'll wait to hear some figures emerge (I'm sure there will be) and then it can be discussed, otherwise, we've just heard McCloskey's side of the story and don't even know what's true and what's not.

    Fair enough but they do tend to do this before every fight these days. They said it about Maidana...about Peterson and now about Mcloskey. Seems a bit fishy to me...im not saying for a second that Khan fears Mcloskey at all, but team Khan just give me the impression that they dont want to give anybody a payday.

    For the record...Mcloskey cannot expect to get the kind of money that Maidana was paid. Maidana was a genuine world name. Mclosky isnt. But he can expect to be paid decently when he fights a marquee name. And 40 grand when khans probabaly gunna get about 3 million is NOT acceptable

    I've thought for a while now that Khan has probably hired a bunch of incompetent clowns. Asif Ali? That man really doesn't seem very impressive.

    I agree, it is suspicious that every fighter seems to have this problem with Khan, but it seems none of us have a foundation to build on. Hopefully we have some figure's soon.

    Team Khan has now accused Marquez, Maidana, Peterson, and McCloskey of over pricing themselves. And this has happened back to back! It is more likely that Team Khan are a bunch of greedy ****s rather than everybody pricing themselves out

    Doesn't seem very impressive? :lol:

    Dude, he's a manager, not a Boxer. Asif has been an excellent Manager for Khan up to now.

    He's only doing his duty, and that's to secure Amir the best possible deal.

    Right now, Khan is in full case to be making the demands, whether they be absolutely rediculous or not. He can do what he likes as this isn't an obligatory defence of his title.

    It's down to McCloskey whether he likes what he see's or not. Yes it might not be fair, but in this world, what you see is what you get.

    yes!:deal. Not neccesarily Khans fault but the clowns he trusts to handle these things for him.

    By the way...im not saying they offered mcloskey 40 grand im just using that as an example

    I'm not talking about his boxing skills. Did you see him speak at the Vegas press conference? :lol:

    Accused Marquez?

    Marquez never wanted to come to the UK, and a fight like that would never happen in the UK anyway. Money was never discussed.

    Offers were laid out for Khan's US Debut.

    Khan, Katsidis and Morales all made an offer to Marquez, and Marquez chose Katsidis.

    Team Khan never accused Marquez of over-pricing.

    Ok, so why has Peterson not come back to the Media or anything about Team Khan rejecting their offer?

    How do you know that Team Peterson didn't ask for a Maidana type offer ($550,00)? ..................Exactly, you don't.

    We've heard McCloskey's side. Have we heard Amir's camp?

    No. Don't make judgements when you don't know the full story, because right now, we only know one side.

    You don't know the figure's, nor anyone else for that matter.

    I don't quite understand what his voice has to do with what he does for Khan.

    He does his job, and does it very well.
