Khan wants 50-50 deal with Mayweather?
July 25th, 2011
By Brad Jones: Amir Khan recently said in a nutshell that he wants a even fight with Floyd Mayweather. If they were to fight, Khan said he is not prepared to just be another opponent (like Victor Ortiz ) and take short money when he comes to the table to negotiate with Mayweather. Khan wants to be on the same level as him.
In my opinion, Khan is forgetting he is still green and is not ready to demand the big boy bucks that Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather are. This is not encouraging to those who want to see this fight. As we all know if Mayweather was reluctant to give Pacquiao a 50/50 share, then he certainly is not going to give Amir a lions share and the fight will not happen, period!
If Amir is deluded enough to think he is or will soon be on the same level as Mayweather and Pacquiao he should remember this . Both Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather average over a million pay per view buy per fight for years now. And Khan is yet to have his first Pay per view fight. fight. In Mayweather’s last fight against Shane Mosley it generated $78.3 million in revenue and Mayweather’s cut was a cool $44 million of this and American great Mosley revived $6.7 million. Khan has only fought in American 3 time and has has just made his first million dollar pay day so does not yet even bring what Mosley did to the table as Mosley has fought his entire career in the US has started in huge PPV fights
My point being Khan is unrealistic to think that he brings what Manny does to the table when negotiation a fight with Mayweather. Lets not forget he also hold’s the PPV record with Oscar Dela Hoya at 2.4 million and Khan has no record what so ever as he is yet to be in a PPV fight. Its like Audley Harrison asking for a 50/50 fight with Wladimir Klitschko. OKay, not quiet that bad but almost. To me, Khan needs to get in line take the test, take the challengers money similar to what Ortiz is doing and be happy. Fair play if he was to beat Mayweather then he could demand a bigger share but until then I don’t feel he can call the shots when it come to financially

You retards, obviously you guys didn’t understand what Khan said, by this he means when he fights Floyd he wants to be on the same level as him. It doesn’t mean that he wants a fight with him now for 50/50. A year or so down the road if Khan keeps on winning and beating solid opposition who knows, it could be a 50/50 fight.
well y not is wat i say!! khan is unifyed champ and has been active! mayweather hasnt fought in 15mnths or so and always lies about retirement!! khan deserves 60/40 in my opinion
is there any proof he actually said he wants a 50/50 deal with Mayweather? this is just more bs from this site. where’s the quote, the link anything to prove he didnt just make this up
50/50 deal all the way, I ink floyd should accept it. Floyd needs a dance parter, who else is there out there for him. Why do younthink he has been out of action for the last 3 -4years, because he prices himself out. Also he has potentially ruined his chance of getting a shot at pacquao. Khan is now huge and can potentially get a shot at PAC man, ruining may weathers chance of a big payday
in us people dont know amir khan , in england people know floyd mayweather : ask ricky hatton!!!ha ha
let me tell you : morales wont fight for less then 50/50 so , what amir khan will do : try to fight keving mitchell??? or go for ortiz after mayweather cook him well done??? to show me some balls khan need to fight an elite 25 years old fighter not judah or barrera（WE already saw amir fighting guys of he’s age : maidana and prescott . just be real: roach knows that judah was going to fight like these : mabuza made the mistake and he got knocked out khan take the issue away with a low blow. that was a low blow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!khan ko judah by a low blow. these it’s what i saw.
after khan mistake on taking on shot fighter like morales then he can talk : now tomato khan will fight eric the great morales he will look so bad(like maidana) then nobody will consider him . he already talk about mayweather ? yea right , mayweather will fight khan when floyd turn 40!!!!!!! and he will still be good enough to knock khan on he’s misery.
He is pricing himself out of the fight after beating a washed up Judah.
Clottey, Corey Spinks, Carlos Baldomir, Miguel Cotto all beat a prime Zab Judah and they didnt start tripping like this delusional clown.
is bearcat on drugs he doesnt need any belts with 41 wins and no losses khan realy thinks he can win it will be like haye vs wlad all again khans beat some has beens and thinks hes going to go in and teach floyd a lesson yeah right
What has Khan ever done? He’s nothing in the US. they’ll eat him alive doe she think by beating Judah he can beat FMJ? he’s dreaming
U talk about England PPV.. First of all FM can sell more PPV in England than khan.. He going to get the 7 mill garanteed, while floyd take 40, with a 30-70 split, and that because Floyd would work wit him.. To all u who disagree, if he was fighting pac what would be on the table, hmmmm, 5 million plus $1.25 for every PPV over 700,000.. So that being said, he need to make people believe he has a chance, before he even demands a 30-70 split..
Khan will get 50-50 to fight Floyd, your dreaming!!! Floyd wont allow any one to fight him 50-50 on share,,,,, this one of the thing thats why Manny vs Floyd is not happening Floyd ego is bigger than what he his!
Big old 0 Bearcat
The only one guy who is gunna get 50/50 split against Mayweather is Pacman.
khan is absolutely crazy he never had any fight on ppv. money mayweather fight khan fight 70-30 for money mayweather. he is the king of pay-per view since de-la-hoya retired.
all these idiots dont know nuthin bout boxing. khan has know shot against floyd, pac-man has will lose against floyd. ortiz will get ko’d
all these idiots dont know nuthin bout boxing. khan has know shot against floyd, pac-man has will lose against floyd. ortiz will get ko’d
If Pac is having a hard time getting a 50-50 split what chance does Khan have?? 0
Khan should get a flat amount. Either $2 or $3 mil to fight floyd. That’s it!
How can you say in one breath you want to fight Mayweather, yet in another say you want a 50-50 split? To Kahn’s credit, he is proven at 140, but who has he beat at 147 to make such a demand?
@reality
perfectly said
@vynz a Styles make fights, look at manny vs Marquez, then Mayweathter vs Marquez lopsided. DelaHoya wasn’t weight drained when he fought Floyd. When DelaHoya fought Manny he was seriously dehydrated. After the fight he was taken to the hospital for dehydration. Manny would have never fought DelaHoya at his normal fighting weight, in fact Manny doesn’t fight anyone unless he has the advantage. That’s a fact
mayweathers been around for years and built up one of the best records ever whos khan fought has beens and he wants a 50 50 split more like 70 30 to flyod
Hey Manny, how about loaning me a few bucks?…Sorry man, I would, but I’m a little short…Get it? Short..hahahahahha
The moment Pacquiao Man-ny’s up at aggrees to FULL RBT, this fight will be made.
Floyd said, “as soon as I dispatch Ortiz, I am coming after YOU…MANNY PACQUIAO”!
FMJ
Manny Pacquiao went in to hiding, and whispering that he wants to fight Mike Jones…
FLOYD almost knocked out by JUDAH..almost knocked out by MOSLEY, win a controversial spilt decision to DELA HOYA…
but all these guys is no match to PACMAN…
if KHAN vs FLOYD will happen which now MAYWEATHER had second thought of fighting KHAN..he will end up just like JUDAH..
50/50 deal is fair enough…
who is floyd? is he a champion? on what division? womans division…hehehehehe
mannyfresh2o9
my point is floyd will never fight PACMAN because he will surely be beaten..so he choose to fight AMIR KHAN PACMANs sparringmate…
THIS KID IS CRAZY 50/50 EVEN IF HE FIGHTS MONEYMAY?LOL…WHAT A CLOWN! DUDE HANG UP THE GLOVES…THIS DUDE KHAN IS OUT OF HE’S MIND.SERIOUSLY
Has Pacquiao agreet to FULL RBT yet? What’s he hiding?
THE WORLD WANTS TO SEE A FIGHT…COME ON PACQUIAO…MAN UP!
hahahaha
Fraud will duck Khan, you watch. “Khan and Pacquiao are on power pellets” – Mayweathers.
John-
Clearly, you cannot read. Lol
Khan should get a flat $2 Mil. NOT A PENNY MORE!
Vynz -
Khan isn’t a southpaw, so what is your point? Lol so dumb..
this is a BIG JOKE! I’m a Pac and Khan fan but I think 35% cut is good enough for this young khan! take it or leave it!
this bum AMIR CON will never get a 50/50 split with mayewather. hell pac man cant even get a 50/50 split
It should be a 60-40 split in favor of Khan!!!
he havent even fought ortiz yet and everybody talking bout who he gonna fight next. hope floyd not thinking that way?
Khan,what are you stupid?I don’you going to get even three milions buddy!!
Ziggy thats 85 % u idiot who gets the other 15
35-40 percent maybe. The only way Khan gets 50 percent vs Mayweather is if Mayweather is coming off a loss.
Mayweather will make a packet fighting khan. Khan bring all the brit paperviews. Then they should split the money Kahns gets the brits money and maywaether gets the yanks
Vynz is right mayweather has never fought a fighter coming in a winning streak. He need to be like manny. Manny fights people coming in impressive wins like clottey, cotto at a catchweight, toni off 2yr suspension, more recently mosley. Those are great stats, not like floyd fighting ortiz who just came off a horrible win. Vyns is an idiot
Floyd is bigger than khan in England as well as the U.S. You idiot it’s not a reasonable deal
50/50 is reasonable b/c he brings England to the table…huge numbers
sirafim todorov was also southpaw,
judah a southpaw
mayweather had a problem facing southpaws..so he will never fight PACMAN..
will he shows interest fighting KHAN PACMANs sparringmate..
what a joke…
floyd mayweather is not undefeated in boxing he lost to serafim todorov in olympics in 1996
he almost lost to zab judah in round 2 he was hit and it appeared a knockout when his gloves touched the canvas but the referee didnt count it, in round four he was beaten and jts cover up until the bell rang..
zab judah is a southpaw floyd had a problem fighting a southpaw so he never want to fight PACMAN KHANS sparring partner and KHAN once said PACMAN is his idol..
JUDAH is badly beaten by KHAN so 50/50 is very reasonable deal..
he almost knocked out by JUDAH while JUDAH is no match to KHAN..
Amir khan beat only only one legit fighter so far he wont get that kind of deal with mayweather even khan fans know this he has two more big fights to prove himself before he gets to mayweather 50/50 split what a joke
Khan is crazy SLOW DOWN DUDE.. First off Zab Judah is historiclly known for choking at the BIG fights. He did not throw the left hand which is his power hand and he wouldn’t even counter punch so the dude GAVE UP ! Do you really think FMJ will do the same 41-0 Khan better show some respect and at least get fans to pay $60 for PPV before you talk.
I don’t know why people whine about a good strong young fighter wanting to fight the best.
It’s refreshing to see a young fighter or any for that matter want to fight the very best.
Everyone complains when fights aren’t made do to politics but then use the same b. S. To justify purse split, who should fight who, tune ups etc.
We need more guys like khan to get the fights the public wants. Not just some old fighters hand picking fighters.
why floyd never try to fight COTTO who is around his size and current WBA super welterweight champion…
such a picky fighter..
floyd wins a fight to zab judah by unanimous decision
floyd wins UD vs dela hoya
again UD vs mosley
even almost knocked out by zab judah..
so 50/50 is fair deal..
floyd doesnt have a belt KHAN is the champion..
Khan needs to give rematch Maidana and ask rematch with Prescott.
Khan is the kind of opponent that could give Mayweather problems. A big lanky guy with a real jab thats young and relentless. Still think Mayweather would probably win but it would be more competative than Ortiz.
@vynz…. See thats the problem people like u throw out names then when floyd beats them there is an excuse. Right now people are saying ortiz has a chance to beat floyd. When floyd beats him there will be an excuse. If floyd takes on martinez and wins still will get no respect they will make another excuse. Guy is too old too youn too small bla bla bla these things are said after the fights are over. So what do u think about manny fighting smalll old marquez how come u are not complaining about that. Did u complain when manny took on mosley after floyd or hatton after floyd or delahoya after floyd??????
Khan just wants the money, he knows he would lose. Any one who thinks he has a chance is BLIND.
khan gotta fight prescott and bradley
khan beat em all wish he would fight manny and beat him too
@unimpressive inteligence
#1 Oscar DeLaHoya is still the #1 ppv draw of all time
#2 Martinez cant get down past 154 which Floyd has foung at before, Its the fight Martinez wants but Floyd wil never do it. And hopkins is having trouble make 175 at light heavy so how you think Martinez could fight BHOP is beyond me.
Although Khans fight with Judah is impressive it may seem, but not enough to ask a 50-50 deal. Too early for Khan to demand. Realistically Khans achievement is not even closed with Mayweather. He needs to fight a legitimate welterweight s before he can level to Pacquiao and Mayweathers level.
Khan is an HBO fighter, Arum and GBP looked at the PPV draw of Khan vs. Judah, and were seriously told to take the show to HBO because noone would buy it.
The guy cannot sell tickets.
Take the $2Mil FMJ would offer you Khan. It’s more than generous!
At this time, Khan is NOT at equal level as Floyd to get 50/50 share of revenues.
Maybe after Bradley plus another big name.
But Floyd will retire again …. so Khan maybe able to get 3 fights done by the time Floyd returns to the ring again.
The fight won’t be in the US, it’ll be in the UK if it happens, it will be BIG payday for both the fighters. But yeah should be 55-45 for Mayweather.
@rri
exactly! marquez is not welterweight, he is just a featherweight, neither hatton his normal weight is 140 not 147, dela hoya and mosley are old already..
COTTO is a normal welterweight since 2001 ad undefeated until he lost afight to mARGARITO who is wearing a plaster of paris..and second loss to PACMAN… the caliber fighters in welterweights he never called them
COTTO, MARGARITO, CLOTTEY, and excuse to fight PACMAN because of RBT..
Floyd took everyone’s belt and tossed them in the garbage, refusing to pay that 3% few to carry the belt.
FMJ is BOXINGS PURE DRAW!!! NOONE…NOONE…has the PPV draw as he does. ABSOLUTELY NOONE EVER!!!
As far as Martinez, he needs to step up and call out Bernard Hopkins. Why be like Manny Pacquiao and go down to the lighter weights like Marquez, and fight men his own size. If Martinez indeed wants to fight FMJ, the WW division takes all comers.
forget tickets sales ur tellin me marquez manny is gonna beat mayweather ortiz on ppv plz
all floyd fight make “good money ” last time i checked 2.4, 800k 1.0,1.4 where good money u fool
bydaway ortiz vs floyd tickets were not yet sold out.. PACMAN vs MARQUEZ almost sold out the first day it starts selling..
so 50/50 deal to khan is fair enough…floyds fight will never make good money unless he will fight the caliber fighters…
@vynz….. So what ur saying is costillo coralles delahoya mosley hatton and marquez are all nobodies. And did i mention all ranked top ten p4p in the world when floyd took them on…. And funny all the fighters u named all top rank fighters… And to answer your question who is floyd?????? He is the guy making 40 million dollers on sept. 17. Vs. The #2 ranked welt in the world next to manny.
khan would make good money but wont get even 30 percent. Last i checked his matches are on regular hbo not ppv. He is only making a million dollers a fight. His people will bring him down to earth. When it comes to manny or floyd khan needs to realize he is just another fighter.
why not?
who is floyd?
just a regular picky, ducker, very boring fighter who enjoys his undefeated because of not fighting caliber fighters,..
since 2001 the caliber welterweights are COTTO,MARGARITO, CLOTTEY, and recently PACMAN…
why is he not fighting this guys..and you call him great? who doesnt have any belt…
and he never call MARTINEZ because he knows he will loss…
Floyd Mayweather needs to invest about $25K in an internet campaign, selling the RBT issue. He should commend all of those that are agreeing to, and participating in the RBT to clean up the sport of boxing. Highlight any “DEATHS” that have occurred in the sport of boxing, no matter the cause.
Manny Pacquiao would look like a COMPLETE IDIOT refusing the RBT and would either be shamed into particiating, or retire, keeping his “SECRET” safe between himself, Roach and Ariza.
whys silent intelligence? why do u an every1 think fmj only has 2 fights left he said he want to be active and have 10 more over 3 years ?
If khan can get a fight with Bradley either later this year or early next year, win that fight then move up to 147, then Khan vs. FMJ would be huge. That fight could get a million PPV easy. FMJ only has two fights left after Ortiz, I see Khan (May 2012) either Pacman or Martinez (Fall of 2012 or May 2013).
Mayweather won’t fight PAC man or khan ever full stop. can’t be boverd with it any more
hahah
Floyd will only give Pacquiao 40%. Do you think he is going to give Khan 50%? This is an idiotic thought to even be considered. Don’t waste your breath Khan…YOU WILL NEVER GET IT!
Accept the generous $2Mil FMJ will offer you enjoy enjoy the stage. TAKE THAT WHOOPIN LIKE A MAN!
khan or is it con?
he must be crazy get real
Floyd will allow the promoters to guarantee Khan about $1-2 Million dollars. That is about it!
PERIOD!
KHAN IS ASKING TOO MUCH, NO WAY FLOYD WILL ACCEPT 50/50 SPLIT.
annoymours well khan is saying he wants 50/50 u think mayweathers gonna let him take 20 mill out the pot come on ?
Lahrwill but in 3-4 fight khan will be on there level right ?
he should take whatever mayweather offers him else he will price himself out of the fight.
true but floyd and mannys last few havnt been ppv over here, khans crazy if he thinks hes getting 50/ 50 but couple more big fights in the us and he could be looking at asking for the big bucks
exacly omar annonymous this is the us hbo ppv round here bro
Brad Jones, you are very right. Although, I am a fan of Khan, it is just not in time for him to command a 50-50 split with Mayweather, financially speaking. A mere condition that Mayweather will fight him will be more than any financial rewards he can get. He is still green compared to Floyd. Maybe after he fights Floyd and wins, that is the time he can compare himself to both Pacman and Floyd, and dictate whatever financial reward he wants. For the meantime he is to train harder and fight other quality boxers.
This aint the UK
but not in us ?
khans been on ppv for years in the uk
