Why do people presume Khan is going to make huge PPV money against Bradley?

[Charmander]

I get what you saying.

Maybe they should have a like a number where if they reach it Bradley gets a percentage of the PPV buys. But, if they fail to hit that mark than Bradley gets zero of the PPV money.

I really think that would be fair to both fighters.

I may be wrong though. If Khan and Maidana did good, which I can nto find the figures for, then Bradley could do well.

His belt, or two is certainly going to help the sales, but the fact that it is at 4AM will also take some away.

I mean it's not easy to do a fight at 4am, you gotta keep quiet for the people sleeping, or you have had a night out yourself.

Khan v Maidana was on a big domestic card if i remember right. That was supposed to be Wlad v Chisora + a load of Frank Warren's fighters. Then they went stateside for the Khan Maidana card. I think the Khan fight was a late addition to the ppv card as well.
If i am not confusing that with another event its probably not a good comparison as a lot of the card was on primetime (not the tv network; peak viewing hours)

From my memory, actually, I can not remember LOL.

Why being switched in the last minute affect the PPV sales?

Because Primetime is an obscure network that hardly anyone even knows about here. There was virtually no promotion done for the fight. Sky did all the promotion then cancelled the PPV a week or so before the fight.

Bradley isn't the draw, Khan is. So Khan should get all the UK PPV number because he's the one where people from that country is buying the fight for not Bradley. The draw gets most of the money period. That has always been a part of boxing. Guys here are pretty funny talking about Bradley should be getting this or that amount when the guy can't even draw flies to sh-t as the no. 1 Jr. ww.

Bradley should get a 35% split at MOST. Khan really deserves 70%
