Peterson needs that kinda split because he has to divide his money between his promoter, manager, trainer, referee, three judges.
That's a pretty fair deal if it's what the actual deal is. 50/50 including the UK revenue would be a nice retirement fund for Peterson. Peterson isn't a real marketable guy, and he'd make more in this one fight then he would defending against 10 scrubs with the IBF belt for peanuts on PPV under cards are maybe, if lucky HBO/Showtime. That's not a guarantee that he'd even make that. This is what Amir should have done in the first place instead of acting the ***** with all his hatman bull**** that they couldn't prove, obviously. Also, it was laughable they were arguing the first slip should have been a KD when it's obvious the one scored a KD was a ****ing push.
