    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.
    Itwill be Khans biggest purse as well..No??

      That HBO's not interested in Bradley's next fight unless it's against Khan when the fighter who was responsible for making one of the most anticipated fights at 140 lackluster is signed to fight already on HBO for the same price Bradley's being offered for Khan.

        " Do you think the Bradley Khan is a 50/50 fight?"

        I thought this mean, is the fight a pick me? Can it go either way, in terms of who wins?

        If its asking, will the money be split 50/50, who cares? Thats such a ****** thing for a boxing fan to concern himself with, especially if the fight is made without significant delays or problems. Is how much these boxers make, affect you? Does it affect how you enjoy the boxing match? Of course not.

        In a perfect world it would be 50/50 everytime, but that is not he case and we know Khan is going to make a little more than Bradley, since Bradley is not popular at all. If the tables were turned, we know Bradley would have no qualms with taking more money than Khan.

            HBO did not want Alexander back on their network. Its a contractual obligation, the loser of Alexander-Bradley is contractually guaranteed to fight this year on HBO for $1.25 million. The winner on the other-hand has no guarantee. Apparently, HBO is extremely unhappy with the employees that allowed this to happen. Heads rolled.

            And HBO is very unhappy that Alexander is allowed back at all, after his horrible uninspiring performance. But their hands are tied. You can bet if this clause was not in the contract, Alexander would NO WAY in hell be on HBO.

                So the loser of Bradley/Alexander is owed another fight on HBO, but the winner has to fight Khan for the same amount or they're not buying it? Now do you understand my confusion. HBO are royal **** ups.

                  Yea you should be angry and frustrated.

                  After the humiliating beat down I gave you, the manner in which I shammed you, I would also be very embarrassed. I know, you're a little humiliated at being exposed as a mental ******.

                  So continue on with your ******, self-embarrassing, ****** replies. You only embarrass yourself.

                    It is something for boxing fans to be concerned about,how many times have money issues prevented a great match up??We could have Khan Perterson(which I would have loved to see)the Khan Maidan fight had money issues..Berto Mosley Pac Mayweater etc etc..We the Hardcore boxing fans get a lot of info on behind the scenes and if something is preventing a great fight it should concern us..

                      You're completely correct. HBO sometimes can be the height of ******ty. But on ESPN, they made it seem like some people were fired over this fiasco. They also said, HBO will probably never use this protective clause ever again.

                      The rationale for doing this was to protect the loser, to allow the boxers to hedge their bets. To make sure the loser didn't disappear, but what HBO didn't plan for was how incredibly lackluster the fight could be.
