Khan turns down eliminator against Bradley

[FrankieBruno]

I feel like Brook vs Khan needs to get built up a little more. Let them solidify their presence at 147 a little longer

Summer 2016 it will happen.

Most likely a 50/50 split

Brook shud gain some momentum, especially if he can secure a fight with JMM by the end of the year

Khan needs a big fight by the end of the year as well

This will be bigger than Froch vs Groves imo

Could be also a potential rematch

Nowhere does it say that Tim Bradley accepted. Because he didn't.

Khan has been shouting out Bradley for weeks and there's been no willing response from anyone on Bradley's side.

He's been trying to get a fight with Cotto and now Bumdrage.

Has he? When has he done that?

All i've heard him say was Mayweather or Pacquiao - fully knowing they are fighting against each other. He mentioned Cotto too, but everyone knows that was never going to happen.

lol why? One is a world champion the other is an established world titlist previously and a big name. It needs to happen now.

So clear he is threatened that Brook will take over Khan's limelight (if he hasn't already). Brook would time and drop Khan in impressive fashion which is even more reason why Khan despises him.

Brook already has momentum.

Why 2016? Why not now? It's big now.

[FrankieBruno]

Why is that ******ed? Have you ever seen any of them fight? Dan is a tough awkward southpaw. Just because Brook stopped him with ease, doesn't mean he's a bum. Especially compared to Algieri of all people.

So basically what you're saying is that because Khan is this late announcing a fight it's ok to fight a guy that's not even in the top 20 at WW.

You remember him giving Mayweather a deadline in January?

Ffs he's had more than two months to negotiate a fight with someone legit.

Jlo Dan wudnt last 2 rounds with Ruslan

Yeah, when you think about it, Its not Khans fault but he HAD to call Bardley's bluff IMO. The contract isnt signed for the Algieri fight.. They dont even have a location or network set. Its just a verbal agreement but he wasnt bound to it, his reasoning for the Algieri fight is going to be that he shared the ring with Pacquiao, Bradley has a win over Pacquiao, and would have made more sense since "My opponent headlined with Pacquiao" will be his selling point to justify his choice.


Its also hilarious how he accused Brook of cherry picking for fighting his ordered mandatory, and turns around, turns down an ordered eliminator, and cherry picks his opponent.. lol Khan makes this too easy.

What does "calling Bradley's bluff" mean? It means entering into a long negotiation. The IBF would have given them something like 30 days and you know they wouldn't have agreed (TR/Haymon). Then it would have been a purse bid. So we'd be looking at early May before they could reach an agreement. Khan doesn't have time for all that now because of Ramadan.

Khan has been trying to enter into negotiations with Bradley for weeks now and with no response from Bradley's team.

Khan just doesn't fancy Brook.

It's as simple as that. He said he'd fight Brook if Brook fought a champion, he did that and won. Then he said he would fight him, then didn't. Then he said Brook should establish himself more - he sold 10k and did great ratings on Sky against a mandatory. Then Khan was looking at two fighters that are already scheduled to fight. Then Brook needs to fight Maidana or Thurman to qualify for Khan Then Khan fights Algieri - a guy he himself called a nobody.

Seriously, I've been a Khan fan since his amateur days - but there's no way I can be a fan with this sort of behaviour.

Brooks momentum starts and finishes in the vicinity of Sheffield

He's not known outside of his little circle, lets not talk as if Brook is some kind of household name.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Has he? When has he done that?

All i've heard him say was Mayweather or Pacquiao - fully knowing they are fighting against each other. He mentioned Cotto too, but everyone knows that was never going to happen.

You haven't heard Khan mention Bradley? He also mentioned Marquez.

He's made it clear he doesn't want the Brook fight but he's been crying out for the Bradley fight.

The only reason he's pulled out of this IBF situation is the timing of it

He would still be competitive and maybe beat Algieri.
