Also lets not act like Devon Alexander fight was as big for Khan as the Khan fight was for Bradley.

Nobody ducked Khan. He is as unscary as they come these days. Bradley turned down a Khan fight for a much bigger, higher paying fight with Pacquiao who is 100 times better than Khan. That's not ducking. Mayweather is fighting Khan in less than two months so that's not ducking. If Mayweather fights Maidana instead it's still not ducking Khan. Floyd is the world welterweight champ and as champion he is only ducking if he refuses to fight the highest ranked contender. Khan is totally unranked at 147 so it is impossible for Mayweather to duck Khan when he should not be defending his title against an unranked Khan. Why has Khan refused to try to avenge his humiliating defeat by Prescott after all these years ? Prescott will fight Khan anywhere at any time for even a very small amount of money but Khan continues to duck Prescott.

Like Khan knowing the date. Of course he knew, the MGM gave floyd the date in october. You have no idea if Tim knew a date or not. all you know is it wasn't public knowledge.
As for your opinion on which fight is bigger-thats self serving and in no way makes what Khan did any different than what tim did.

2mill(Which Bradley and his manger disputed as being a real number),compared to a totally of 7mill in some change is not nearly the better deal..Before you ask the dumb question,Bradley signed on for a 3 fight deal in which he made over 7mill..TR was a better deal..
It's also the reason Khan Alexander was not the same situation as Khan Bradley..

Khan-Bradley was a huge unification fight when both guys were at their peaks and Bradley was offered his highest purse - 50% of the UK revenue as well. What was Khan getting to fight Alexander?

I do however disagree that Tim and Khan was in the same situation..Khan was signed to GBP and seemingly happy,while Bradley was going threw a lot of drama with his promoter and was not happy..Not to mention Bradley was offered a better more lucrative deal from an outside promoter..While Khan was and is signed to GBP and could have made the fight with Alexander far more easy..Not to mention he should have known he would not get the Mayweather fight..
If I'm Khan,no way I believe I'm getting a shot at Mayweather(esp when I have done nothing in 2 yrs)unless I hear it from the mans own mouth..

Khan knew the date he was to fight Mayweather so taking a fight in between and getting an injury/cut etc would jeopardise that. Bradley wouldn't have jeopardised a Pacquaio fight by taking the Khan fight. Unless he knew he was going to get beat....which he did.

As I posted earlier, there is no way Tim's manager at the time (Dunkin I believe) lets him sign with TR without the promise of a manny fight. You know this. So lets not pretend he was stunad (in the dark) just for argument NSB purposes.
I don't know what Khan would've got for the Devon fight. I don't know what Tim would've got for Khan.
