    Khan is the bigger draw and the bigger star.

    After Khan sorts out McCloskey, bradley better sign the deal!

    the fight makes more money in the US. Las Vegas site fee for the fight trumps what they make in any stadium.

    Bradley has two belts and is just as big a name as Khan in the US.

    Have the fight in the US. 50-50 split on all revenue apart from UK TV which goes 75-25 to Khan.

    Makes absolute cash common sense to fight Bradley in America...:yep

    More money and beating him in his own backyard even sweeter...:yep

    It enhances and exposes the product that is Khan even more and gets him a bigger payday and more pull at the table in his next fight...:yep You don't get what you deserve in boxing, you get what you negotiate...:deal

    It's all heading to a big showdown with either PBF or Pac Man at 147...:yep

    Khan already shifts more tickets in the US than Bradley (thats more a reflection on Bradley than Khan).
    Make it time delay in UK so this fight gets the big crowd atmosphere it deserves like Joe v Lacy

    If khan won't accept 50/50 it looks like he's ducking & being stingy again.

    Surely Khan wouldn't try to insist on 60-40? He should win this fight, which would give him three belts and clear number one status in the division. He could then look at moving up to welter as a really big star in the sport. Frankly, if it takes time to organize his welter debut he could stay at LWW and do a unification with the winner of Mabuza/Judah. That would virtually be a keep busy fight for Khan (I think he would walk through either of them) and give him all four belts. The Bradley fight, assuming he wins it, is such a springboard for Khan I think he will want it in the States (much as I want to be able to go see it in the UK I think the US is the right call) as if he maximizes the profile of this fight in the US, then wins it, he can call the shots going forwards. He would be mad to jeopardize that over money/venue, assuming 50-50 is on the table.

    People are so ****ing quick to throw the word 'duck'. Look, neither fighter can afford to not fight each other. In fact, it'll pretty much be mandatory for them to get it on. It absolutely will happen. Noone will be 'ducking' :deal.

    Now, yes, there probably will be a great deal of bickering about who should get what. That's almost a certainty. Due to Bradley's hopeless ability to draw in a crowd, Khan's team will try and get a split in favour of them. And Bradley, being the number one guy of the division, will find this as an insult. So be aware of this now, peoples, before you start crying and moaning at the time. They'll definitely have problems during negotiations, but eventually they'll work something out and the fight will happen.

    This is how I feel. The fight will certainly take place in America and probably in Vegas but te money will be tight and I am not sure still that Khan will be Bradleys next opponent just yet. I find it hard to get excited or hopefull about any possible fights right now.
