    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.

            He took a pay cut for the Malignaggi fight.

              Who the **** cares about which fighter earns more money? You ain't seeing any of that cash.

                Malignaggi's purse for the Con fight was $450,000 while Con's was $1.1 mill.

                  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.

                    I think Khan gets cash from two CONTINENTS.

                      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.
                      Indeed, based in the US, not necessarily American. US boxing fan loyalty is often for foreign fighters. Filipino/Asian-Americans follow Pacquiao, Mexican-Americans follow Canelo/Margarito/Marquez, PR Americans follow Miguel Cotto etc.

                      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.
