For me its a 50-50 in terms of money split, In reality Bradley isnt getting 50-50 with Khan, If he gets 55-45 i would be surprised.
Do you think Bradley Khan is a 50/50 fight??

Sure, Uk fans are some of the greatest out there, they are loyal to a fault, but that doesn't mean that Khan is a bigger draw in the states then Bradley, and if he is then not by much. & Like I said considering Khan wasn't able to earn as much UK money as he wanted I think a Bradley/Khan fight should be as close to 50/50 as possible. Maybe 45/55 or 40/60 in Khan's favor but not more then that.Comment

Sorry Earl, I just really can't tell when your being serious, but i'm make the assumption.

I have no problem with a straight split of us revenue, even though I think khan is a slightly bigger draw over there.
But in the uk, Khan is the second biggest boxing star, and no-one knows Bradley even after the witter fight, so Khan should get the vast majority of that money, seems fair to me.Comment

I'm not 100% sure on the figures, but I guess the UK PPV buys will generate at least a couple of million dollars for Khan, which is probably close to the purse HBO will put up for a fight on WCB.

But i understand where your coming from and i agree if the HBO money is split down the middle i guess it's okay.Comment

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.Comment

On ESPN they were discussing how Bradley has been trying to make a fight happen outside of Khan, to make money, and HBO is completely uninterested.
Bradley doesn't really have fans, or any interest on the part of HBO, which is why he is very desperate to make the Khan fight happen. For his sake, I hope if and when this fight happens its not another stinker. Because, if it is, HBOs interest in Bradley will never come back.Comment

50/50 us
65/35 or 70/30 UK
Bottom line Kahn is the draw in the UK but he needs Bradley to sell the fight. His fight right now is known in the UK and it is t either ppv.Comment
