Bradley can't even sell out a ballroom in his home town. While Khan can draw up to 20,000 in an arena.
He drew 10,000 against Salita, and that wasn't even in his home town.

Also if Tim Bradley knew he had this issue then why did he call out Khan for July 23rd on live tv?

But it's alright. I'll be the one getting the last laugh again once this fight gets signed, just like I did when the Alexander cheerleaders were crying duck.

We'll see this fight happen, trust me. Both guys want it. Bradley's wanted it for years, and so has Khan, especially after his newly found confidence. And it'll be for all four major titles. And if for some reason we don't it's because Pacquiao's fighting him.

I think this is much more simple then people make it out to be. Bradley feels that he would be fighting a tough fight in Kahn for pretty much the same amount of money he could make fighting a lesser guy. He also feels that Kahn has some future star status and the fight would be bigger then, just like he said the whole time about Alexander but ended up fighting him for basic money.
Then on top of that he feels that if he were with a Top Rank then he would be a bigger star which would also make him more money. Even moreso I think he feels that he can sign with Top Rank when the contract expires and probably fight Pac next. Therefore why fight Kahn now when he can either fight a lesser guy for nearly the same money or fight Pac for way more? It wouldnt make sense. That is the bottom line

Originally posted by Dirk Diggler UK View PostIt wouldnt be nearly the same money because he wouldnt be getting half of the UK PPV revenue against a "lesser fighter". It was a fantastic deal.
Not only that but again, Khan has star potential. He has the potential to make big money which he's not doing right now in the US and Bradley feels like he's fighting these guys before they are at there peak earning potential. He could probably fight Kahn in a year or 2 for a couple of mil more
