    Bradley wans the KHan fight to marinate more..

    However, he vacated the WBC when Alexander was mandatory, and then only made the fight when Kotelnik exposed him.

    He is either waiting for Khan to look real bad or just scared.

    He's not scared.

    He's been given too much too early. He has invested more in his own ego than is deserved.

        Fight will happen within a year provided both keep winning. Bradley just doesn't feel like the star. To him it feels like Khan is the star. That's what has him so depressed.

          Well he doesn't sell seats, but if he beat Khan, he would be a bigger star...

          Easy as that.

          The nit being a star is bullshiet because he was offered 50/50. You think Khan takes the whole purse? Nope.

          Sadly, Bradley ducked Alexander, it was clear for ages until he had a bad fight, and then jumped on it. That fight completely lost the excitement because it was no longer a 50/50 fight, Bradley wad a clear favourite.

          Bradley is at fault for that, for leaving it too late. If he beat alexander when he was hot, he would get more love.

          Easy on the hesdbutts too.

            Why you say that??Bradley been giving too much to early??Dude before the Devon fight he made 900k to fight Abregu..Before that he made about 700k to fight Nate..Before that he made about 5or 6 can't remember right now to fight Peterson..Sounds like he has fought his way to making more and more money..Not like anything was giving to him at all..

              You must've learned nothing from Mosley Hoya or May Gatti..Just because you beat a star does not mean you take their fans..

                    Well the 1.3 Mil guarantee HBO gave him for his next opponent was too much. When the offer for Khan came in and it was within that ballpark, of course he is going to refuse and want more.

                    Instead it would have been more beneficial to the fans for him to have been made no guarantees, and then subsequently made the 1.3/1.5 mil offer for Khan with UK PPV incentives. I'm sure he would have taken in that position.

                    It's all about mindset.

                    Of course that's also not how the business works, and HBO were doing anything to guarantee they made the Bradley-Alexander fight.

                    I think Bradley is a great guy and fighter, but when you are not in the elite superstar tier of this sport, I think giving these fighters these sorts of guarantees is damaging to both the sport and to the fighter themselves.
