Bradley smart or Greedy??

[Rome-By-Ko]

Khan couldn't have fought Bradley on that date. HBO have had the July 23rd date earmarked forever. It was never going to take place before that.

Khan vs McCloskey was a stay busy fight. It has no relevance to Bradley seemingly side stepping Khan to fight a lesser fighter.

Why didn't Bradley fight Alexander instead of Abregu?

Because Devon fought Kottie,and it was Bradleys first fight on HBO..

This makes no sense. Khan-McCloskey has nothing to do with this fight. Like I said in my last post, HBO had a date set for Khan-Bradley, they didn't want it earlier. Khan didn't get a pass to fight anyone, because he didn't need a pass. It was a stay busy fight for Bradley and that's how it should be seen not as how your trying to portray it.

What you call stay busy I call Money fight..There was no reason to see that fight what soever..How much was Khan going to make for fighting that bum before sky pulled out??

No offense Romey, but this poll might as well have been a popularity poll. People clearly voting for their favorite fighter over the real purpose of the poll.

If we really lay it out there, if you put the "greed" factor out there as "Who is greedier, Khan or Bradley" then IMO the scale goes clear over to Khans side. I get tired of hearing people act like popularity = being the best, and therefore they deserve the majority of the money. Who is to say that Bradley should bow down to Khans money proposal just because he has more fans in the U.K. and has a higher guaranteed purse then him? If Khans promotional company wants to pay him a guaranteed million plus per fight to fight "whoever" then that's their business. But if they expect that BECAUSE of that Khan should ALWAYS have the bigger purse then that's when I have a problem with it. Just because a fighter would "make more money then they've made in any previous fight" fighting Khan, doesn't mean they have the right to set the standard of what that fighter SHOULD make. It's irritating and Team Khan will continue to struggle for worthy opponents who are willing to fight for what Team Khan deams them worthy of. [The 2 negotiations with JMM were a complete joke BTW]. The ONLY reason the Maidana fight even happened was because A) Maidana was the mandatory challenger and B) Team Khan could not force the "he doesn't want to fight because he priced himself out" (which they WERE trying to say) because it was FORCED to go to a purse bid in which Maidana ended up earning more then what Khans team wanted to pay him. Team Khan did NOT have a choice in the matter, period.

The fact of the matter is that Bradley is rated #1 and Khan is essentially the challenger. Since when should #2 make more money then #1? IF Khan beats Bradley for the #1 spot then yea, he will have EARNED the right to claim more pay. I think the pay grade needs to go back to ratings rather then who has more fans. Again, popularity - BY ABSOLUTELY NO MEANS- should equal more pay then the #1 champion. To be honest the greed in this sport is incredibly outrageous and is making a mockery of what the sport is supposed to be about - which is the best fighting the best. And I find it appalling what Shaw does to his fighters when they are considering jumping ship (and there have been a lot of them). You always see him all up in the ring after his fighters win/lose, with his arm all around them looking like he's gonna cry for them... but as soon as they don't let him lead them around by the nose ring then he's selling them out to the public WHILE THEIR STILL UNDER CONTRACT and blackmailing them by misinforming the public (essentially trying to sell out his own fighter), sitting them on the shelf or giving them ****ty fights. It's gotten so out of control, from the promoters to the fighters who think they are worth more than they are - it's no wonder that the sport is having a problem bringing in more casual fans or keeping the interest of the current ones.

To be honest, the only time I REALLY give a **** what a man makes for fighting is when it is preventing or holding up must see fights that should have no real problems being made. JUST MAKE THE FIGHTS ALREADY!!!!

No offense taking and upon making the poll I knew most would vote Khans way,most of his fans come off as **** riders who could not even think of their hero doing anything wrong..But in this case I agree,I did not blame Khan for taking the Paul fight because he was looking to get an easy good money fight before Bradley..My problem comes in with all this B.S.calling Bradley a duck for. Seeking more money for a big fight,I mean is the man suppose to fight for chumpp change??Is he not suppose to look for more money??Khan is good and ready to sign because he just had a nice payday(and would have been better if things with Sky did not fall threw)and is now gonna make 1.25 mill to fight Bradley so if I was Khan I would have no problem with fighting either..Bradley should make at least 1.20 for this fight..1.3 is what he made for Devon and this is a bigger fight with more on the line..I totally agree with you most here believe Khan has more fans in the UK(he is not a draw in the states)he should get more money??IMHO it just does not make sense..

Shaw is another reason for the hold up as well trying to get more time/money out of Bradley..Most have to understand this is a business,Khan is with GBP a Major Promotion company..While Bradley is with Shaw the bottom of the bucket in terms of Promotion..Let Bradley handle the business side and then Khan will get that azz kicking Bradley got for him there is no rush..

But Bradley has been fighting the best in his div..Don't you think its time he is paid for it??This is a big fight both fighters should be treated as such..

isnt he making the same money that marquez and berto make on hbo? how much more money does he deserve to get paid?

I don't know about JMM,but that hype job Berto was making what Khan makes for his fights..Bout 1.25 mill..If hype job Berto is getting that fight Hernandez surely HBO can Pay Bradley 1.20 mill..

Are these top WW going somewhere??Is there a time limit on when Bradley has to fight Khan or the top WW's??

Oh I see you want Bradley on Khan's time,so Khan can take a money fight while Bradley sits and waits and when Khan is good and ready then the fight get's made..That's how it works??

The truth is this Khan is a challenger and right now is being treated as one..Khan had his money fight why can't Bradley??Or at least give Bradley more money..But see you don't see that,cause ya blinded by Khan's sack..This is ya best bet son..

W/E dude if this was Mayweather you'd be crying all over the place..Bradley is a business man like any other boxer and before a fight business must be handle..
