    1.2m - I think that's what Khan offered him. Would that be Bradley's biggest purse yet?

    I like Khan as a fighter, but he speaks some **** at times.

    Still think this fight's getting made before the end of the year.

    Isn't the problem that HBO put Bradley (and Alexander iirc) on a stupid guaranteed purse deal, meaning it's in his interest to fight a low risk fighter than it is to fight Khan?

    It is 50/50 but bradly will have to pay big share to shaw as thts in thr contract, so thats why he is thinking to have an easy fight take same money and its last fight with shaw.

    :patsch Khan doesn't offer a thing, he doesn't negotiate, GBP and GSH promotions do alongside with HBO that offers 2.8M-3M tops for the whole thing (Rafael blog) which means even in a 50-50 deal that Bradley doesn't deserve he wouldn't get more than about 1.4M (same as Khan) - and Timbo already turned down 1.3M, so we are going nowhere. But Khan has nothing to do with it.

    There are multiple problems.

    1) I doubt Bradley generates even 300K off tickets and ratings yet a one million dollar plus is not good enough - the Andre Berto effect

    2) Gary Shaw wants a contract extension and offers this fight for Timbo in a package (something similar to JMM-Morales which killed that fight) - Bradley doesn't wanna stay

    3) Stupid ass HBO made a package deal guaranteeing Timbo and Alexander 1.2M for their return fight after their showdown just to make it happen - so even if Bradley fights a stiff, he still gets 1.2M, so why should he risk his unbeaten record vs. Khan for just 200k more? The problem is 200K is about all he generates yet gets 7 figures regularly, easy to get delusional. Like I said, the Berto effect.


    Now does any part of this appear to be Amir Khan's fault? HELLO?

    Both of those guys are overrated. Especially Bradley.

    Do the words **** Kahn have any meaning? I used to think Brits hated Kahn cause he was a ****, now I realize the real reason.... and its cause he's a **** and a ****, arrogant, sniveling *****! Man I cant wait till someone ****s him up, and I used to defend him.
