HBO to blame for Khan-Bradley falling apart. Greenburg needs to go!

[wazaa.]

Timmah knows the risk is too high. If Amir beats him on July 23rd, HBO will not give him another 7 figure payday. If he decides not to fight Amir straight away, he has a gaurantee of two 7 figure pay dates.

This is simple, damn it.


Khan is a the bigger draw easily and he is making 50K less than Braley who cant draw flies to ****!!!

Bradley's gurantee is 1.3 mills. For the people who dont know how to do math thats $1,300,000.00


Khan's gurantee is 1.25 mills= $1,250,000

Khan is the bigger draw and have more to lose for that same reason. And if the excuse is that Bradley can make as much money against another fighter, well so does Khan and Khan can make more money fighting Judah, JMM or a Maidana rematch, but he still willing to take the challenge even though he deserves more of the money than Bradley and is getting paid less!!!


Bradley is ducking!!!

Your right about the money not about the ducking..Bradley is takin care of business..Khan will be handle in due time..

Really getting tired of this. Ocne again, HBO overpays their fighter, and because of it a huge fight is not made.


So, you have megafights not happening because guys are getting paid too much, and you have guys that have accomplished absolutely NOTHING in their careers except high profile losses turning down title shots/paydays (Peterson), because they know HBO will still take care of them.

This is not how the game is supposed to be played. HBO needs to hurry up and replace Ross Greenburg, because he has seriously fucked with the natural order of the boxing game.

I been saying this too. 80% of ppl should get fired from HBO Sports. From the top, Greenburg needs to walk the plank first as he knows **** about boxing. Now the fighters are EXPECTED to get overpaid. Hope for continual decline HBO until landscape is changed.

I was just about to make this same thread. Bradley isnt ducking Khan its HBO's fault with that dumb guarantee they made.

Yep. Also Timmy wants get away from Shaw.

Good read. couldn't agree with you more. Still think bradley doesn't deserve the 1.3 mil offered.

HBO raise the game in the wrong way, The same reason Berto wouldnt do anything less than 50-50 with Mosley when he can make 1.25M fighting F. Hernandez, I dont mind them throwing money at a fighter that has a lot of fans or that brings fans/audience to boxing but they need to stop paying fighters who arent that of a big hit with fans.

Exactly so then why do you have that dumb ass ****ing sig?

I don't believe Martinez lives in America were 750K is **** in reality..

If Khan were the one who said it's not enough $ and wouldn't fight he'd get ripped but bradley doing it . It's not his fault it's HBO or so and so.Man up and fight show you are the best at JRW and you'll get paid in time.props to alexander for fighting the argentinean. He could of took a tune up fight off tv but he choose to fight real comp.

This is true.

However, if the shoe was on the other foot, Khan would be expected to sign the contract and would be harshly criticised if he refused.

Most of the posters on this site are hypocrites of the highest order.

One rule for one. Another rule for another.

I have seen a lot of posters being pretty critical of Bradley. Khan has an image as the next boxing superstar so I think that adds to the pressure on him to excel.
