    And, no one can deny that. But, it is what it is.
    this ^^^^^^^

    The Khan Family are probably one of the worst sets of business people in the sport, they bleed every opportunity for Amir dry. They hinder his progress imo. Dont like them, never will

      Duh, I never said otherwise. I remember all the hate that Khan got when he was accused of ducking Maidana. The point is that all fighters should be judged fairly, but this isn't a perfect world. It's funny watching hypocritical behavior and double standards. The best thing about NSB is the comedy.

        yeah pretty much Khan went out of his way to try to make the fight happen a fight I would favor Bradley to win, Amir got all the confidence in the world right now I wasn't expecting that from him.

        If this fight doesn't happen I think the majority of fans would remember that Bradley doubted himself and Khan was the confident one

          Bradley wants Pacquiao/Mayweather, Khan wants Mayweather.

          There have been talks about Pacquiao-Bradley, there have been talks about Khan-Mayweather.

          Arum said it's a possibility, Schafer said it's a possibility.

          Due to the Alexander fight. Bradley has a guarantee of a million+ purse on his next HBO fight. Khan due to his contract with GBP. Has a minimum of a million dollars.

          I hear how some are saying that Bradley is making the smart business move. How he's doing the right thing for himself and family. Then WTH is Khan doing? A ****** business for wanting this fight? He even offered 50/50 across the board...Why? Is it because he's doing what we asked/demand all fighters to do and that is dare to be great?

          Khan has just as much to lose and gain as Bradley does. Yet he's willing to prove who the best 140lber is. While the other guy seems not so eager to prove such claim. And, I'm a Bradley fan. But, anybody who's not liking the criticism that Bradley is getting. This is why he deserves every single criticism and maybe even more. Because, Khan is on the same boat as Bradley, has as much to lose as Bradley. Yet wants the fight much more than Bradley does.
          Good post,but I say wait for him to finish with Shaw then see what's what..

            how much money do you speculate a fight with pac could be worth for bradley?

            bradley is far from as big a name as shane.
            how much did clottey make?

              Bradley would make more then Clottey,Clottey came off a lose when he fought Pac and was not undefeated..

                I think one difference between Khan and Bradley is that win or lose, Amir Khan will remain a draw and a star in the UK. Bradley would have no more leverage if he'd lose.

                Amir is a guy destined to be a star/draw while Bradley is quite the opposite.

                  I don't think losses matter that much. Bradley don't have a lot to offer as hes "not even" the lineal champ at 140.

                  It's more about popularity and what you bring to the table to sell the fight. No one cares about bradley outside the hardcore fans.'

                  I could see him getting slightly more than Clottey but not a lot.
                  Theres also other upsides to fighting Pac. Huge exposure even when losing badly. Also that one in a billion chance of actually beating him.

                    Clottey made 3 mill I believe and JMM is guaranteed 5 mill plus PPV upside.

                    Bradley thinking is a Pacquiao fight is out of the question if he losses to Khan but losing to Pacquiao would still get him decent Money from HBO against either Khan or Berto or Ortiz

                      How much did Ortiz get..Dude flat out quit against Maidana,Bradley brings youth(like Ortiz)undefeated rec and the fact that he has really dominated every fighter he was in with..Ortiz brings nothing to the May fight and he is getting paid handsomely,so would Bradley..
