    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.

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

      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.

        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.

        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.

          See that makes sense to me, except for the fact that, as big a draw as he is, he couldn't sell the McCloskey fight. If the Bradley fight sells big on it's own in the UK it wouldn't be entirely because of Khan.

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

            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 totally agree with this post,it mirrors my opinion..

              It doesn't matter because Timmy is going to embarass Khan in the ring.

                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.

                  That makes even less sense to me cause wasn't Bradley complaining that he's being offered less the what Alexander is being offered to fight on HBO, Alexander the guy who made Bradley's last fight boring.

                    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.
