    Anything between 60 - 40 and 70 - 30 to Peterson should be fair.
    Khan brings no titles, no rematch clause no nothing.
    He also disrespected Peterson and his city.

    If they plan on robbing Peterson at a different location he better get paid well.

    Khan is with Golden BOy who would be the main promoters. 60-40 khan. besides, it took class to fight peterson in his hometown when he could've been a ***** like former british champs have been and hid with his own referees and judges.

    exctly. its just a bs excuse that some ppl on esb use cos they would rather see lamont cut and run with the belts rather than see a rematch of what was a close and intriguing fight, that to me indicates that they are not really fans of boxing rather, just haters of khan.

    Khan should take the fight for free, noway he's gonna lose the rematch. I mean how many times is Peterson gonna get a crooked ref/Judges and home crowd on his side?

    Then when Peterson wants his rematch, he can sign on the dotted line too, for free.

    lol, that's not fair at all. Khan is the draw, he will always get the bigger share. Peterson won his titles, not his star power or marketibility

    Whether Peterson is accepting of just a slightly bigger split or not will have to do with whether he can do better fighting anyone else.

    He probably won't be able to except with a Bradley unification fight. He should see how much Top Rank and HBO would be willing to put up for that, then go to Khan request more money than he'd get for a Bradley fight and take the best offer.

    Obviously not!! GBP and Khan promotions will promote the fight. they wouldnt do that and Khan only get 20% of the purse. Khan is still a bigger name by a long way. Peterson will not get half as much fighing anyone else in the division, belts or no belts.

    would be funny tho as Khan always shits on people paying them badly!!

    Like who? I think you will find every country has fighters that only fight in their own back yards. Mayweather (adopted Vegas), Ward, Bute, Pascal to name a couple of current fighters.

    British Judges are usually pretty good, its British fighters that have had scoring go against them lately.

    50-50 is fair.

    Khan is still the main attraction in many ways, he's touted as the next superstar and has a massive following.

    Peterson may not get a similar pay day again IMO even if he was to reign for a long time and beat Khan a second time (I still think Khan stops him second time around).

    Khan would never accept that. He's still a big name, he can still get fights. I don't think he really needs this fight right away. He never rematched Prescott.

    This sounds about right.
