    Hmm maybe bradley signing with gbp would be a good thing, then we can have a lot of good matchups easily. Im affraid he will go to toprank though.

    :lol:Yeah that's very likely. Knowing Khan and his big head I would not doubt him thinking he should have all of the contractual advantages going into the fight. I felt that the making of this fight would be very rocky but I thought it would get made eventually. Both are very flawed but I think Khan has a better chance of losing at 140 sooner than Bradley does.

    Pretty much.

    I still think Khan has Bradley's number though, and he's gonna be the first one to take his 0.

    If the fight ever gets ****ing made that is.

    I gather Bradley is keen on going to GBP but if Arum dangles the possibility of a Pac fight, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to Top Rank.

    I doubt either promotion is going to make him much bigger than he is just now though - he's never going to be a star.

    I agree with this. Khan's speed and somewhat use of angles would give Bradley fits. Another thing is that Khan would not allow himself to get bullied like he did against Maidana as Bradley has no power. This fight would favor Khan but I still can't seee why he would decline a million as he's not even a superstar.

    Guess what, Khan shits all over Bradley in ticket sales and TV ratings all over the world, yet he's not the one complaining. Khan doesn't make the demands, HBO handles this one just like Timbo-Devon.
    And you know this how? (link)

    You say that as though I have something against Khan which I don't. I actually favor him against Bradley but still Bradley is the man at 140(unless of course you have Pacquiao as #1 as he would dominate there and really is a true 140 fighter now though he is dominating WW at the moment. Damn shame the fight is not happening as I would really favor Khan to take Bradley's 0.

    Bradley will come to his senses and sign on the dotted line. He always pulls this ****.

    Pure negotiation.

    I personally take everything Shaw says at face value. He's just got one of those trustworthy faces.

    Judah is a bad fight for both Khan and Bradley.

    There's however the Shaw vs. Bradley issue, Timbo doesn't want to stay with the fat man and he might have to give Gary the majority of the 1.4 to leave in which case the offer is not spectacular. But Timbo should deal with his promotional issues himself and not put this showdown in jeopardy.

    Well then he can kiss HBO good bye. They are trying to make good fights now and messing with their new agenda probably not a good idea. Also. HBO has all the top 140 pounders so a Showtime move would not be wise.
