Comments Thread For: Khan-Bradley Talks are Going Well So Far, Says Schaefer

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

The fight wont happen bradley will leave to another promoter

[SluggerFan]

I am not a huge fan of signing for a fight this far ahead of another scheduled fight. My reasoning is let's say Bradley vs. Khan gets signed for the end of July then Khan get's cut in April against McCloskey (and remember, McCloskey is a southpaw). Then Khan will need time for the cut to heal properly and the fight with Bradley would be postponed to September or October. In the meantime, Bradley has to wait around or fight some push over to keep busy in a meaningless fight. I mean, if everything works out, great, this is a fight I really want to see and I think it would be a great fight. I will keep my fingers crossed Khan doesn't have any unfortunate instances in his next fight...

Boxing needs this fight.
If Khan wins Mayweather seems a good possibility and similarly if Bradley wins a fight with Pac is also very feasible.

[ReUterZ]

Bradley should wait for Pac. He is already the first runner up after Mosley.

Forget Khan, instead go for Pac and don't renew the contract with his current promoter. Arum was sighting Bradley, all he (Bradley) should do is to hug Arum's butt. That's it!

you're dreaming. in a perfect world that would make sense but team khan will want much more then 50 50. watch & see.....

They know damn well that Bradley won't fight Khan for less than 50/50, and nor should he, given he's the undisputed #1. As I said, even if team Khan are ****** enough to try to get more, Shaefer will over-rule them. Watch and see ...

I know what the question was and I gave you the answer man.

Hopkins was the champion and the considered the #1 in his division man and took less money than Oscar.

Baldomir was the man who beat the man and took less money to against Floyd.

Pac got paid more than Hatton who was #1 and lineal champ at the time at 140.

Emphasis on CHAMPION it has happened plenty of times.

The bigger draw usually gets more than the champion who's #1.

No, the examples you gave are exceptions, they are not the norm. In most unifications, especially where it's to determine who is the real champion of the division, the fighters split the purse 50/50.

Hopkins and DLH weren't even in the same division. It was just a money fight, not a fight to determine who is the real #1 in the division.

Same with Pac-Hatton and in any case, Hatton held out for 50%, and Arum had to pay Pac the extra he wanted out of his own pocket. Hatton never agreed to take less than 50%.

Floyd didn't really have to fight Boldomir to determine who was the #1 in the division, because most people considered Margarito and Cotto to be better than Boldomir, even though Boldomir was the lineal champion.

And Floyd and especially DLH were far bigger draws than Khan in any case, and were also both very high in the P4P lists, so those are not at all typical examples.
