Comments Thread For: Sources: Khan-Bradley Deal Not Even Close To Done

Khan always has issues with money,he even had problems with Sky.Dude wanted Sky to charge people for gabbage.

This is not a situation where Bradley cares about what Khan is making. Bradley cares about about he is personally making. Last I heard he was offered 1.2 million and that's only 200K more than what Alexander [who Bradley beat] is making for Matthysse. The offer is also basically the same amount that he made for Alexander. I think that's where the problem is.

I think that's a pretty big problem Pump don't you??Making the same to fight Khan then to fight Alexander..Bradley's pay rate has went up with each win,and he is undefeated so it should keep rising..

lets be real here - khan generates at least double the revenue bradley does. if he is being offered anything @ a million or better he would be ****** to decline. he can't draw 5k fans in his hometown against a world class opponent. only way he could make more money is pacquiao or floyd. it only makes sense to give khan 70% of the revenue if he's ****ing responsible for 70% or more of the viewers/revenue.

I really hate greedy khan but he will make the money for this fight. Bradley although the better fight IMO does not make cash. He should be a huge name. Nice guy, humble and a tough fighter. But for some reason he just doesnt bring a crowd. He needs to hire a new PR buy. Bradley IMO could really be a superstar if marketed in the right way. Its a shame his KO % is poor. People would really be drawn to him if he could put people to sleep.

There's no reason to have this fight anywhere but the UK. Khan is a big draw and Bradley can't draw flies. Bradley's probably more famous there than the US anyway seeing as he upset Junior Witter there.

Khan has history Bradley does not,would you agree??Anyway it's mighty funny how GBP are trying to rush nego along..It seems like Bradley wants to know figures..I'm not mad,Khan does not deserve much more at all for this fight esp after his last show bombed..

I doubt Khan will make any more than 1.5m for this fight, so Bradley earning only 300,000 less is almost negligible considering that Khan is the far bigger draw.

We have to remember that it's doubtful that Sky will be showing this fight, especially on PPV. Even if another channel picks up the broadcast, PPV sales will be minimal.

Khan vs Bradley just isn't a big fight in terms of dollars.

You might be right it just might not be the biggest fight in terms of dollars..But you have to see where Bradley is coming from..He is undefeated and has been taking shortmoney for a long time..But with each fight he has made more and more money,Bradley should not be making the same money he made to fight Alexander(who was a unified Champ)that he gets to fight Khan..

Oh and to be more fair Alexander was a full Champ,Maidana was not..

It's Khan being a greedy bastard asking for more money, Bradley is #1 Champ at 140, holds two belts and has defeated superior opposition than Khan has.

Khan will say Bradley is pricing himself out.

I don't know if its Khan tbh..But HBO and Shaw need to come up with away to get Bradley a few more dollars..That's what GBP and HBO did for Khan..

To be honest, I think this is a problem between HBO and Bradley, rather than Khan and Bradley.

Khan is guaranteed 1.25m per fight by GB and HBO. Now if Bradley is being offered just short of that, and he isn't happy with it, then that's between him and HBO. I'm not blaming Bradley if he feels he is worth more. However, I don't think Khan can be blamed if this is the case. Still, if Khan turned down the fight due to the money not being more than he earned in his last fight, I can't help but believe that people wouldn't be as supportive and would expect him to sign for the fight regardless.
