    Bradley Turned Down $2.2 Million To Face Khan

    Nobody here should have any sympathy for Tim Bradley, This punk was guaranteed $1.2 million from HBO + 50% of Khans PPV sales which is an extra $1million.

    Thats Almost $2.5 million dollars! Bradley will never get that much cash unless he gets Pacquaio or Mayweather, Bradley has only fought something like twice in two years, Ontop of that he will be out of the ring even longer, Who is advising Bradley so wrong?

    Bradley seems to think there is going to be a bidding war between Top Rank and GBP for a guy that is holding two World titles hostage which rightfully belong to Khan, Bradley cant sell any tickets, Bradley has no crossover appeal, He cant speak different languages, Appeal to different nationalities and religious groups, Bradley does not do any charity work like Khan and he doesnt have Khans looks! I mean Bradley needs to start getting realistic.

    Btw Bradley would have earned over X4 what Judah earned for his fight with Khan.

      Actually at 140, I think Bradley is the only one that can beat khan because of his style.

        Too much risk, he has his eyes set on Pac/Floyd and won't be taking any chances in the meantime

        You'd think most fighters would take the Khan fight, with the reward of earning more respect and negotiation power with a win... but after seeing how Floyd and Manny do business, Bradleys camp is probably thinking that a win wouldn't even change much split-wise.

            100,000 PPV sales * £14.50 = $2.377855 million U.S. dollars

            $2.4 / 2 = $1.2 million!

                    Why is HBO bidding against themselves for guys like Bradley who have little fanbases?
