khan $1.1m peterson $650k if there is a rematch , will the payscale reverse?? http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/7340210/lamont-peterson-upsets-amir-khan-take-140-pound-titles
I think for the rematch it will be more like an even split. The numbers would probably be a bit higher though.
How many threads have you made on this fight? You're like that Maxwell i think it was with Khan-Mccloskey. Actually, thinking about it you're probably just an alias of his.
That's not including khans UK money. Khan is still the bigger name bcos of the closeness of the fight but Pete definitely deserves 50-50 in a rematch....if not more.
Khan chose to fight Peterson, put his titles on the line in Peterson's backyard, I know the sport doesn't work on goodwill, but some is warranted.
No rematch clause. Realistically though I think they'll pursue it, either next or after a quick defence. If I was controlling Peterson I'd do it immediately, it'll give Khan less time to work on the things he needs to work on in order to beat him.
I dont see why there should be any goodwill regarding the purse for the fight. Petersons the champion so he deserves at least 50% of the revenue. Khan gave Lamont an opportunity and its fair that Lamont gives Khan one since the fight was so close. But Lamont deserves to get paid.
