    It's about more than resume, it's about drawing power. Khan has it, Bradley doesn't. As Khan brings more fans (and therefore more revenue) to the table, he's entitled to a bigger cut.

    I think Bradley's reached a point in his career where he's looking for the best money he can get and I don't blame him. But $1.4 million is nothing to scoff at. How much did he make against Devon?

    Bradley has more belts and a better resume, but his fans share a cab to the arena. Khan brings a lot more to the table economically. He "deserves" the bigger share.

    Around the same I believe.

    Close to 3MM dollars in two fights isn't too shabby.

    Shaw has done OK with Timbo.

    Much bigger. Not only can Khan fill a stadium in England with more people than Bradley can fill anywhere in the states, there's a very good chance that Khan can fill a venue in Vegas too, which Bradley can't do despite being american.

    Definately has instant fight changing power. Just seen his fight with mabuza, sickening ending.

    Yes and no, he can draw a good crowd in England, but his last fight on PPV there did pretty minuscule numbers, and this fight will be in the US. I can't remember what sort of crowd was at his fight in Vegas, it was decent if i remember correctly, but not huge. He gets good numbers fight on HBO (1.2 million for Paulie I think).

    Bradley draws shag all of people to an arena to watch him. But his last fight on HBO against Alexander did 1.3 million.

    So Khan is probably a small bit ahead, but not a lot and he need Bradley as much as Timbo needs him. Khan isn't the global superstar people make him out to be.

    dont get why

    however maybe hed like to thin the field he has the ring WBC and WBO and is the consensus number 1

    Khan and Judah hold the last 2 belts, let them unify and earn their shot

    then Bradley doest have to fight 2 more unifications

    How much is Khan getting? Why do people think a guy is supposed to accept any contract someone puts in front of him? That's what negotiations are for. I need to know more details.

    Is the saj23 posting here the same buttplug who rides Khan's nuts in real life?

    I was hoping to see a unification bout in this division, especially since both Khan and Bradley were calling each other out.

    Is that much of a difference to demand more than the top man in the division?

    People seem to accept he's a big draw because that's what he and Golden Boy portray him as, yet I don't see anything to back this up apart from the £1m guaranteed per fight that GB promised him when they signed him up.
