    Khan is a man though. He took paycuts to face Maidana and McCloskey. Not a lot of other boxers would do that.

        The fight HAS to get done though, whether you like the guy or not.

          Honestly, HBO is doing what they can to give us good fights. Good for them, but this sends a message to other undeserving fighters, that they can basically just hold a fight everyone wants to see hostage so they can squeeze out even more money from HBO.

            I really hope this fight comes off,for those saying HBO should not pay more money out to Bradley..I say HBO messed it self up already,if they want this fight(wich you know they do)they have to pay for it..Bradley is not gonna leave money on the table(and neither would anybody on this site)..IMO I would haveBradley fight Maidana and Khan fight Judah first to have even bigger hype for this fight,but I guess HBO don't wanna risk this after seeing what happen to JML..

              hopefully this will end their drama and give us the fight
              They should learn to respect Bradley.As for Khan there comes loss number 2 and again by KO

                  Atleast there is some hope now that the fight will be made, it should have been made weeks ago though.

                    Well said bro.

                    Bradley deserves as much money as possible. He takes tough fights, and this is no exception. He deserves a big payday. Just look at his resume. He supposedly got $1.3million for fighting Alexander, so why should he take the same for Kahn? I can't say I blame him for holding out.

                    Now that there is more money on the table, he should take the fight. If not, he's clearly ducking.

                      I agree. I'm a HBO subscriber for boxing. I would always overpay for quality then pay a dime for crap. Boxing matches should be the same.
