It's because he is from UK and brits do support him. Bradley and Alexander don't have significant drawing power, because americans don't care about young AA prospects.

It's pretty obvious he earns more because he was considered more marketable, and then marketed much better. Which was the right business decision, fairness not entering into it.

Originally posted by Born2Live View PostAmere Con currently benefits from getting money from 2 countries, he's already a huge star in the U.K with a good Reebok endorsement deal & now combine that with Golden Boy Promotions pushing him very hard in the commercial boxing scene, he's obviously going to earn more.
There aren't many successful active boxers fighting in the U.K, but for Bradley & Alexander, there are many boxers active that are based in the U.S.
I may be wrong but I'd venture that Pacquiao and Cotto are bigger stars in the US than Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander.
Incidentally, Froch is arguably a more successful active fighter than Khan but nowhere near as well supported in the UK.
