Is 80-20 purse split in favour of Peterson a fair deal?

    If Peterson was to get 80% of the purse would that be fair in the rematch with Amir Khan or does he deserve more or slightly less?

    No.

    50-50 or 60-40 for Peterson.

    Khan is still the bigger name, but Khan needs Peterson, and Peterson sort of needs Khan.

    60-40 to Peterson.
    Khan would bring more of a name and more popularity, but Peterson is the champion and Khan needs the fight.

    Peterson should really do a number on Khan. If they fight in the UK then have a 50-50 or 60-40 Peterson.

    If the 2 judges scored it 113-112 for Khan, would Khan have given a rematch to Peterson too?

    Why do people keep saying this? I'm no fan of Khan, but since when has the defending (and victorious) champ ever been obliged to give rematches? Rematches only normally happen when the champion LOSES his belts, not when he RETAINS them.

    Probably 50-50... Khan does the majority of the ratings.

    Sounds about right. I would be okay with 75/25 also.
