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

[Rome-By-Ko]

He's making 1.3mil to fight Khan. That's making some money bro.

And, you should know is not about accomplishment but being the bigger draw. I mean Oscar got more money that JCC cuz' he was the bigger draw at the time. Oscar got more money than Chicanito bigger draw but Oscar hadn't accomplished what they have at the time

That being said I don't blame Bradley not do I blame Khan. I blame HBO, why would Bradley fight Khan for just 200k more than what he made against Alexander? Especially when Khan is not only the bigger threat cuz' he's the better fighter but the much bigger draw than what Alexander was.

Khan is no Hoya we all should know better then to use this as an example..I agree tho Khan should maybe make a lil more..But the gap between them right now,1.25 1.5 is far to much space there..Esp when Bradley can make 1.2 fighting a lesser fighter and then signing with a Major promotion company..Coming back to the table with Khan with some big gunz behind him and making more money anyway..This is HBO's mess to clean up I'm with you they have to see the corner they back them self's into and the only way to get out of it is to pay Bradley what he wants..Which is like 1.20 most likely,I can't lie I can't wait for Bradley to have some comments..

Honestly Bradley made just as much in the Alexander fight as Pacquiao and JMM made together in their first fight.

HBO just ridiculous overpaid to have Bradley-Alexander.

They should have paid what Bradley and Alexander were worth. Bradley anywhere from 500-750k while Alexander around the 500k mark.

And, that would have made this Khan 1.3mil offer look like a great deal. But, they paid Bradley 1.1mil-1.2mil for Alexander. Which now makes this Khan offer look like bad deal.

That would have never worked out. Bradley made it clear that he wanted a big payday against Alexander, and and Devon almost backed out at the last min because he wanted more. Neither would have taken the fight at those terms, even though that's what it's really worth in reality.

The problem is HBO has overpaid fighters in the past, which has given these newer guys the mindset that they deserve that amount too. In a way they're right (with the exception of guys like Berto who hadn't done s**t).

Nobody is saying he's Oscar ****ing ey.

The point was that he was bigger draw.

And, most of the times the bigger draw gets the bigger split no matter if he's more accomplished or not.

And, I think it's really safe to say that Khan is bigger draw here.

But, like I said is HBO fault. 1.3 should be a great offer from Khan to Bradley. But, how can it be, when Bradley just made 1.1-1.2mil fighting a lesser opponent who wasn't the draw that Khan was.

It should have worked out cuz' those paydays SHOULD have been their highest payday at the time.

But, it probably wasn't cuz' Bradley made like what? 600k for the Abregu fight? Why? He should have made like around 200k for that fight.

HBO is overpaying this guys. And, is not even funny.

Do you know who to do math???? ROFLMAO

1.25-1.30 the gap is only .05=50K and thats in favor of bradley!!!!

[ChampBox@PR]

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!!!

I agree. They really dug themselves in a hole because they created these money filled egoes.

Your post doesnt make any sense. You keep saying Bradley would take the the fight for 1.2, but Shaw already said Bradley turned down 1.3.

[jvsnypes]

I love Bradley, but maybe dude needs to get a 9 to 5 working minimum wage getting paid 30,000 or less a year. He needs to be working in a hot kitchen or out in the heat doing constuction. Then...comeback and present the same contract to him. He as well as all these fighters would sign it within 30 seconds!!!

This right here. HBO tipped the scales in a way they weren't supposed to be tipped. Bradley would take the fight if he was getting the money he made against Holt up until now, but the million dollars to fight Alexander changed his expectations.

Because of that, we don't have a fight.
