    What has happened is that HBO did the ridiculous thing of guaranteeing Bradley and Alexander return fights on the network with a minimum of $1 mill (I believe). Now Bradley is thinking why fight Khan for $1.3 mill when I can fight someone easier with with not a big difference in the money. Great job HBO Plus Shaw is an issue in this as well.

      50 / 1.65 = 30.3030303

          Khan's PPV's in England sell for 1/3 the price of an American PPV broadcast and if Brits were forced to pay 50 pounds to watch his fights nobody would tune in to watch him run around the ring doing his best impression of Paula Radcliffe.
          This is true, a poster from England told me he pays less than half of what we pay here for PPV's. If PPV's were that cheap in the U.S., fights like Mayweather vs DLH would have sold like 3-4million PPV buys. At $23-$25 a PPV I would be able to afford buying the ****tiest HBO/Showtime PPV cards without complaining.

            Damn some of yall are so ****ing blinded by love for a fighter yall refuse to look at things for what they are. Some of yall are actually saying that since 1.3mill might Bradley's highest purse he should just take that offer no matter the amount of money involved in the whole pot. That is just ****ing ******ed!!!!

                If 1.3Mill is the conclusion of a 50-50 split then Bradley should take it.

                What else does he want? The fight will not be on HBO PPV, nobody comes to Bradley fights, Khan as popular as he is to the boxing public he's still not a draw himself in the U.S. So what exactly is it that Bradley is looking for?

                Look at his resume and tell me with a straight face that he should be getting $2-5million. He has wins over guys he's supposed to beat on the road to superstardom, super pay checks, and PPV money. Witter, Alexander, Peterson, and Holt...Those are all good names and he dominated all of them, except for Alexander which was an ugly fight, and it was his last fight as well, but none of those names are GREAT names, and neither does Khan, Khan doesn't have any great names on his resume, so they both should be getting the same amount of money.

                While Alexander is on his way to making a comeback vs Matthysse, Bradley is being what boxing fans complain about superstars being, which is a diva. Bradley is NOT a superstar, at least not yet. People say I only support black fighters, and I can see why, but in this case I can't support Bradley. Take the $1.3Mill, kick Khan's ass, kick Maidana's ass, then move up to 147 for bigger paydays, maybe a fight with Ortiz for starters.

                  The headbutt King is gonna regret not taking this offer. What an idiot. If he wins this fight, he's getting paid big time. If he fights someone else like Maidana, and Maidana wins. At most he'll get 1/3 to half of what he got against Alexander.

                    The problem is Bradley wants to make more then he made for fight Alexander(which imo is fair)HBO and Shaw needs to find away to make that happen..He deserves more for the work he has put in tbh..

                      What do you think he's worth?
