LATEST:Bradley-Khan NOT Happening -Bradley Given 48 HOUR Deadline,Khan Looks to Other

[awas88]

It is Shaw. The fight with Alexander almost didn't happen because of Shaw, so this time we will miss out.

People are misunderstanding the situation with Shaw. He is not the main problem. This is Bradleys last fight under his contract with Shaw- him agreeing to this fight does NOT mean hes signing on with Shaw for the future.

The MAIN problem is that what HBO have created. Bradley is not happy at not making that much more for a Khan fight (higher risk-tougher) in comparison to his last Alexander fight. On top of that, as everybody knows, Bradley is already gauranteed a 1mill minimum anyway for a return fight on HBO- giving him an opportunity to fight somebody else and make similar money with potentially lesser risk. The fact is that Bradley will be getting paid a similar amount to Alexander who's coming of a loss and fighting a lesser opponent.

The Alexander fight was supposed to be his last fight with Shaw I believe, but in order to make that fight happen he had to sign a one fight extension. Bradley himself hasn't said anything yet, but I won't be surprised if when he does take he tells us Shaw was trying the same thing.

Bradley has 2 belts and is the recognized #1 at junior welterweight. He deserves to get a nice payday for this fight.

[Reloaded]

you can book it. con already fought barrera, why not morales?

He will beat khan ,,,, typical pommy article , I like the way it said Khan agrees to terms , of course he would its Bradley getting stitched on the money , how much is Khan getting , nobody is saying .

[VolumePuncher]

You mean I won't get to see the intriguing combination of Khan jumping in and out throwing weak punches and Bradley headbutting like Holyfield? Oh no!

[ShoulderRoll]

1.3 mill?? no?

That's around what he got for the Devon Alexander fight. He deserves a raise for this next bout, especially if Khan wants the 2 belts he is holding.

1.3 mill?? no?

You do know he doesnt see a good bit of that money right.

LATEST UPDATE:

AMIR KHAN'S world light-welterweight title unification clash against WBC and WBO champion Tim Bradley is on the brink of collapse.

Their 12-rounder is due to be staged in Los Angeles or Las Vegas on July 23, but the cash-hungry American is unhappy with his £825,000 purse.

Bradley was last night given a 48-hour deadline, but WBA champion Khan is planning an American jaunt this week to line-up a new opponent.

Richard Schaefer, CEO of Khan's promoters Golden Boy, told Sport of the World that Mexican great Erik Morales, lightweight sensation Robert Guerrero and IBF champ Zab Judah are under consideration.

Bolton's Khan has agreed terms and although Bradley's promoter Gary Shaw is happy with the deal, the fighter and his management are stalling.

Schaefer added: "Gary has until early next week to secure Bradley, but it looks like he is having second thoughts.

"The good news is that there are many A-list fighters willing to face Amir in July as they consider him the top fighter in the 140lb division.

"Whatever happens with Bradley, Amir will be fighting in the United States on July 23 and we should be able to name an opponent in the next seven days."

The three venues on hold for Khan are the Mandalay Bay Events Centre in Las Vegas, Los Angeles Sports Arena and Anaheim's Honda Centre on the outskirts of LA.

Khan, 24, is planning to start training at Freddie Roach's Wild Card gym in late May to prepare for his fifth defence of the title he took from Andreas Kotelnik in July 2009.

Also, if Bradley does not agree to fight Khan on July 23rd, he does NOT fight on HBO this Summer. All dates are 100% taken. Looks like we'll end up seeing Bradley out the ring for a while, or see him back on Showtime.

No opponent will be announced in 7 days if that opponent is not Bradley.
