Why does Khan always try to pay his opponent peanuts?

    I was looking for more posts like this :good
    Really I'm not accusing Khan of anything, but I was more asking a question on why this keeps popping up and you answered it well.

    For Tim and Zab, you already admitted that it's not Amir's fault. For the other three, aren't they receiving much more than their last fight? They surely cannot demand almost equal amount with Khan because they are not the crowd drawer of the fight. Do not put all the blame on Amir.

    khan does seem to have a lot of problems nailing down opponents, the negotiations with marcos maidana went on far too long, and the mccloskey fight was on and off a few times, with khan saying mccloskey was asking for "stupid money".
    it would make a nice change for a khan to get a fight sorted quickly without it dragging on and on.

    Khan himself is not an exceptional PPV star in the US. Far from it. But amongst his peers - Bradley, Judah, Alexander, etc, - he does have more star-appeal. You have the elite guys like Mayweather, Pacquiao and Cotto, followed by the popular ones such as JMM. And not far behind him, is Khan, who definitely attracts more interest than the guys after that.

    Look to what he did to his conditioning coach as a clue. After the guy got him in the shape of his life for the Marcos Rene Maidana he screwed him. He obviously is a cheap little *****.

    He's following the WInky Wright career plan. Price yourself out of fights with names. Can you believe Wright rejected fighting Floyd and Oscar? Surely, Wright must have realized he's a stylistic nightmare for Floyd, but he still priced out.

    As they say, it's "just business".

    A fighter's handlers should be trying to get as much money as they can for a fighter. If Khan doesn't get certain fights because of greed, then that's the risk he and his team take by demanding so much.

    :patsch

    What a load of ****, everyone knows Khan is the money man at 140, he dictates.

    Still Khan offers are good, he offered Bradley $1.4m on a 50-50 and plus 50-50 on his UK PPV which he never does or has too.

    Too bad Bradley don't want to face Khan after calling him out.

    That Mosley chick is hot, she got a fat ass.

    Brown men do their thing, Khan can have any girl he wants from UK chicks love him, lucky guy.

    my point is that Bradley didn't ***** out that most of the idiots on here are saying.
