Kevin Cunningham : Bradley cant sell a fight to people in his living room
I dont want to see Bradley get a dime of Khan's money, I just want to see Bradley blown away like the over-protected African American hypejob he really is, I just want to see Bradley loose badly and be utterly, utterly poor!
Khan should make sure Bradley is paid absolutely bare minimum, not an extra dime of Khans money!
So you would rather see Khan fight someone with less at stake??If he loses he loses everything..The fighters that would be acceptable for him to fight at 140lb are dangerous for him dude..Not to mention if he moved up..Khan needs Bradley and Bradley needs Khan just deal with it..

This fight has to be 50-50. Khan is not a draw in the US any more so than Bradley is.
His last fight in the US saw an attendance of 4100, of which probably only half paid for their tickets.
Plus at least 25% of the crowd were Latinos from the LA area who traveled to see Victor Ortiz on the undercard.
This..:You_Rock_
I'll say this much, if Khan thinks he's too big of a draw to offer a good deal to Bradley, if he continues fighting guys like McCloskey, this wont be the case for long.
I think 60/40 is acceptable though.
What most of you fail to realize is it doesn't matter if Bradley can't draw a single person, a big fight takes two fighters. A fight of this magnitude can't be matched simply on who draws what, it's this big because of what Bradley has done inside the ring, not outside. On top of all that Khan needs Bradley. There is no one the public wants to see Khan in at 140 other than with Bradley. It's a big fight and a fight that Khan needs to enhance his legacy. Khan needs to suck it up and he's the one that should be taking a paycut because this fight holds the key to his future. It has to be 50/50, he can have 80/20 of the UK money.
50/50 UK money included dude,Bradley won't take any shorts..One thing I notice about Bradley is he is as smart out of the ring as he is in it..

60/40 at the least. Last time i checked Khan couldn't sell a ppv on 1 station in the UK and had to jump to another and still sold ****. Khan is the bigger name, but only in the UK, in the states, both are considered the best in a talent filled division.
Unless everything is even I really don't see a fight happening tbh..

Are people on this forum really this stupid or do many of them just post crazy stuff to get a reaction out of people?
50/50 and make the fight happen, Khan thinks he is bigger then what he really is and he got his little Sheeps...I mean Fans thinking that he is already a "CASH COW" and as if he is this HUGE DRAW! Maybe in the UK he is but NOT in the US just yet.
This is just Khan fans giving him a OUT and preparing excuses for him if he tries to give Bradley a Low Ball Offer and Bradley and Shaw turns it down.
Bradley could just move up to 147 or fight maybe Zab Judah if Judah can't get a fight with JMM, maybe 1-2 years ago Khan would have been able to get away with a Low Ball OFFER...BUT IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK NOW!
That fact that Bradley will be a free agent after his next fight really makes it tough because it gives him SO MANY OPTIONS! Hell push comes to shove he could just jump to Top Rank and probably get a shot at Pacquiao in 2012.
TBH it's not Khan that is low-balling Bradley,it's HBO and Shaw not wanting to put up the right amount of Money to make Bradley happy..I'm not mad at Bradley wanting to make a few thousand more for a fight with Khan..It's a much bigger fight and HBO will do much bigger nums then they did with Alexander Bradley so why the hell not??HBO needs to open their wallets so we can get this show on the road..From my understanding HBO open their wallets to Khan why not Bradley??
Is Khan being a cheap a$$ at the negotiating table again? His "team" have a real record of this.
Bradley should get the 50/50 split, or 40/60, then polish up that head real nice and lower the boom on 'king con'
The inherent bias that all Muslim posters post with is sickening.
WTF is up with you racist fvcks nowadays?
Why even mention Muslims in this thread, we're talking boxing here. Take that religious shizer elsewhere, gutter Roach! You mans disgust me.

lol no kidding.
Also bradley is negotiating. This isn't new. If you (SCtrojansbaby) paid attention Bradley-Alexander was not signed for quite some time for the same reasons, bradley wanted to make sure he got everything he could as far as the contract goes.
This fight will happen. Just because they are still negotiating doesn't mean the fight wont happen. This is normal boxing stuff.
TBH I believe this is going to get split right down the middle at the end of the day..Bradley brings belts and without him there will be no crown Champion on HBO..This is a big fight that Bradley fought his way to(while picking up damn near all the belts)he wants to be treated as if it's a big fight as well he should..
Exactly it is a great fight that we might not see because Bradley can't accept that he isn't a draw and doesn't know how to sell a fight or himslef as a boxer. Amir Khan isn't even American yet a lot of casual American sports fans know who he is.
He is far more accomplished then Khan,let Khan take the risk(with ow reward)and fight and get KO'd by Judah..Or he can move up and get KO'd by Ortiz or Berto his choice..But until the money is ironed out and Bradley is happy this fight is not happening..
One of Bradley's representatives said everything was agreed to a couple of days ago. Seems like Timmy is the only one holding this fight up.
It seems like money is what's holding this fight up,Bradley won't be low balled by HBO or anybody else he's earned big money bro..
Khan should get 100 percent of the uk money, split the us money 50-50
thing is khan is the bigger cash cow compared to bradley in both countries, bradley should be grateful in getting the 50 us split
being champ doesnt mean ****, neither does being ranked at number. when pac fought cotto, pac was lower ranked in ww rankings, cotto was also the champ. same with may-mosley
Bradley doesn't sell a single seat or buy a single PPV he should be happy with what he could get.
Bradley should go down as low as 65-35 to make a name for himself by beating Khan. You gotta take this crap until you make a name for yourself.
