    3/4 of the undercards were canceled on that show so the original broadcaster trashed the whole show! Even though he can talk too much sometime, I gotta respect Khan for still going ahead with that fight when he's taking a major hit to the pocket like this.

    If that happened to Mayweather, Pacquiao, Klitschkos, Haye.. the show would be instantly canceled. Khan's gotta be respected for going through with the fight. You know what I mean? Takes a true fighter to lose that amount of money before a fight and still go ahead with it.
    cause khan doesn't have the clout that pacquiao or wifebeater has, and cause Khan don't have the ego of the Klit-sisters, or Haye to pull out of fights.

      I feel you rome.....I've said it all along that Bradley DESERVES a 50-50 split....I think team Khan will see it that way as well.....let it go to the tables and wait and see what numbers they come up with....Tim is a top 10 P4P fighter, Khan isn't...Tim is THE CHAMP of champs in the division....so he's a dude I have the upmost respect for....HOPEFULLY Team Khan shows him that respect as well as far as the purse split

        Fair play to Khan for this. Not many fighters with as big name as his would have gone through with this.

        It highlights the greed displayed by people like Mayweather etc..

            He'll live, and he knows it... he has bigger paydays ahead. Much bigger.
