    I think it deserves 50/50 because I don't think Khan is that much of a bigger draw. The only reason people believe he is, is because they expect him to bring a big UK crowd, but since he couldn't sell the Closkey fight on his own i think this is wrong.

          A big problem is the Haye/Harrison fight... lot of people got burned by it and won't be paying decent amounts for a Khan/Haye vs an untested guy

            Yeah but i don't think the Bradley fight will be in the UK, and he couldn't sell a ppv in his own backyard against someone who at least those in the UK should know who he is.

            Honestly, i don't think he's a bigger draw in boxing, maybe just in the UK but not in boxing overall.

            Bradley/Khan will be a huge fight which most boxing fans want to see, and it's not just because Khan but because they're both the best at 140 lbs.

              I understand but i just don't see why he needs to make a bigger cut then Bradley IMHO.

                I think Khan is a bigger draw.. resume wise Bradley is slightly ahead.. Bradley/Alexander had trouble didn't it?.. I think Khan should probably get a slight % advantage but not by much. He isn't a draw of Oscar/Floyd proportions but is good enough imo

                  You cant say that, the UK counts towards "overall boxing" as Wazza said, US money, fine 50/50 but UK Money (which with ppv will be a lot) should be 90% Khan

                    Khan's a much bigger draw than Bradley. He isn't worth 20m because he fights in bingo halls.

                    Saying that, the fight should be a 50-50 split. But I can't begrudge Khan wanting a larger slice of the UK ppv revenue.

                    I'm hoping everything gets split down the middle but Bradley may have to swallow his pride and accept a 30-40% cut of the UK money. However, this will still probably eclipse any purse he has made thus far in his career which doesn't even factor in the HBO money, and the live gate.

                    Bradley gets a lot out of fighting Khan.
