Some guy on twitter reckons Khan/Bradley sells out Wembley atsch If we get Khan/Judah and Bradley/Maidana I wouldn't be too fussed. It'd build Khan/Bradley up even more. I'd really love for JMM to get in the mix at 140 but balls knows what's happening with him atm.
:huh Khan in NYC sold 4,412 out of 5,600 tickets not bad for a mainly unknown British fighter making his debut in the U.S plus that fight also done a record number for HBO Boxing After Dark. Khan-Maidana was awarded Boxing writers association of America fight of the year, that fight alone makes Khan a bigger and better draw than Bradley in the U.S.
Judah, although I don't rate him, should be filed with Holt in the 'fights to avoid if you're looking for a superfight' in Khans camp. I can't see him going for Judah yet (if ever, and neither should either man have to) but as JMM isn't fighting Zab now; JMM Vs Bradley anyone? With the winner fighting Khan after his fast? And yes I know he wants to fight 3x a year but boxing doesn't allow for religion; Khan should take two genuinely meaningful fights a year rather than cramming in a Salita or McCloskey IMO.
I'd have to check the second, but that seems odd. The first is nonsense - those tickets were papered. I couldn't give a **** about who the draw is - it's perfectly reasonable that Bradley gets 50-50. Second, the whole issue has been fabricated by Shaw for trying to tie his fighter into a longer contract.
One is for sure Khan can sell more tickets in the US than Bradley, and far more in his home country. "Promoters Gary Shaw and Don King had to give away nearly all of the tickets to the World Boxing Council/World Boxing Organisation 140-pound title unification bout on Jan. 29 in order to attract just 6,247 fans to the cavernous Silverdome."
Again, the Silverdome situation underlines all that's wrong with Shaw. He basically took the by fee rather than put the venue in Alexander's hometown (where he is a draw). It guaranteed him a return regardless of ticket sales. the guy's a complete ****wit.
Yeah, he was having promotional problems with King and Dibella. He refused fights and turned down what was for him a lot of money at the time and people thought he was crazy and wasn't capitalising on his Trinidad win. In the end though he got out of those contracts and was proved right.
In one of if not the poorest states in America where most people are completely ****ed and/or broke. The Silverdome situation was a farce. Both promoters taking the site fee for themselves rather than having it in St. Louis
"Butter" Bradley and his delusional sense of self worth strikes yet again. Mock Wallet, but Khan significantly shifts more tickets and gets better ratings than Bradley. It's not exactly hard to do though since Tim is a black hole at the box office. I doubt he'll be on HBO again if he ducks Khan.
khan is doing his usual penny pinching tactics, i dont get it khan being regarded as an exciting fighter, his new style under roach is safety first and when he gets hit he automatically backs up he rarely engages with his opponent anymore and his defence is not aesthetically pleasing like mayweather for example
anyone think khan can beat bradley?.......khan has gone up in my estimations since the maidaina scrap, but im afraid bradley will beat khan imo, maybe by k.o but at least on points.... no way is it a duck.
