Amir Khan v Paul McCloskey - Manchester, April 16

Spazdarn · 29-01-2011 9:13pm

That reported clause that he has to fight for **** all in the rematch is bull**** if it's true.

Fair enough to be tightfisted with giving him the opportunity but if he beats Khan, he has a title and a win over him, so he should be getting a ****load more.

Like I said earlier the deal has to be right, being offered a world title crack at any price just isnt enough. Can help but think how duddy was shafted in negotiations like these which he didnt even know about and the fee was believed to be 1.7MILLION...... Mc Closkey could potentially have 1 shot at a big purse and that is how his team have to approach it, theres no doubt a boxers instincts would be more about "i can win this fight" but that is why he has a manager to deal with this bull****.

I have to say quite some clever and imaginative initiatives to try and get some sort of a deal done and kudos has to be paid to his team here and its not often I have paise for the white collars in the sport! Sometimes you have to be braver to walk away and with these conditions attached it was an absolute no brainer.

On a seperate issue options on an opponent should he win should be BANNED, i mean neither figher benefits.....its a crazy situation.... Im even borderline on even a rematch clause (mabey a fixed purse split could work similar to EBU's rules on a mandatoy)

It sounds like a woeful offer that any serious fighter could never accept and I'm sure Kahn's team knew as much. Watching Johnny Nelson intimate 'fighters' price themselves out of fights with Kahn smacks of bias, ignorance or simply handling their guest with kid golves. Whatever the situation with other boxers, no one can say that deal was serious.

What it does highlight is how little any of us know about the dealing that go on and how easy it is for one fighter's team to cynically warp the discussion to suit their ends.

I've said it before it's Khans entourage that will stop him becoming a superstar. That's bad form if true. Scumbags. What makes it worse is it's his family. Very hard for him to break away from them.

pbffan · 30-01-2011 11:04pm

Shocking decision, can't believe Amir is letting this happen. He's could turn out to be the new Naz if he doesn't cop himself on and get rid of the hangers-on soon

Boooourns · 06-02-2011 1:57am

Yep confirmed on Khans facebook page, he said he would announce it earlier in the day. Was sure it was going to be Witter, mad turnaround.

i think dudey has the style to cause khan major problems.
Major underdog but surely with mccloskey magee and casey 1 of them at least will cause an upset?

Vintagekits · 08-02-2011 1:02am

off to the opening presser in Manchester with Khan and McCloskey in the morning

BoxingIrel.com · 08-02-2011 5:07pm

If you want to sit in the "Irish section" or the MEN and want to avoid ticketmasters fees and make sure more money goes to the fighter, contact us.

joepenguin · 08-02-2011 7:27pm

Feargal as Luimneach · 08-02-2011 9:09pm

From Dudey twitter....

Vintagekits · 08-02-2011 11:56pm

All our tickets will be coming out of the Mccloskey pot and ALL the money going to McCloskey.

Ticket prices for Khan vs. McCloskey, priced at £300, £200, £125, £75, £50 and £40.

Just send me a PM with the number of tickets you want, the price category, your email address and phone number!

This reminds me of the build up to Magee-Hatton. If Magee had McCloskeys dedication he would have been champion that night, agh well!!

ollieo · 09-02-2011 8:40pm

I'm a casual boxing fan and don't know much about McCloskey, does he have a realistic chance of beating Khan or just a punchers chance?

Rob113 · 09-02-2011 8:45pm

Tv3 have saved the day with the coverage. Fair play to them. Anyone know who their commentators / analysts will be?

Rob113 · 09-02-2011 8:46pm

Balls. Wrong thread. Ignore post above. Sorry folks.

Was good to talk to you yesterday!

Any idea when I might be contacted about the package deal, hadn't heard anything yet so was going to head up to Dungiven this evening to get tickets. Would rather be sorted wih the package though but don't want too wait and maybe miss out!

peejay1986 · 12-02-2011 12:05am

Balls. I just bought 3 tickets on Ticketmaster then seen that I could get tickets in the 'Irish section' through people on here

Got great seats but I think I'd prefer to be around Irish.

John Breen says there is nothing wrong with Khans chin!

It's his temple that needs hittin with a banjo!
