    I don't think he's worth 50/50 of a Khan fight either, he lost his fanbase after the Baldomir loss really, but still is last couple of wins put him back in a world wide top 10, he's not a complete irrelevance.

    I can't see Pac fighting guys on their level, Judah's been marked as an also ran for years and Bradley is like a black hole for anything interesting. The only hope they have is to do something spectacular that makes them flavour of the month, and a knockout of Khan could do it. However I think both are weary that they could lose that fight, then their hopes of a big Pacman payday go completely out the window, so they'd rather not take the chance and hope they get the call from Top Rank, then Judah can get himself some more diamond encrusted teeth and Bradley can upgrade to a fit hispanic wife like Mosleys'.

    Wouldn't say it was **** money at all. Bradley-Alexander didn't do great numbers, it's a fight for Boxing fans not the casuals.

    Boxing purses are relative. Guys in the smallest divisions aren't making 6 figures for world title fights alot of the time. I think a boring guy with a not-awful but not-enetertaining either ring style and no discernable fanbase like Bradley should be very happy with 1 million-ish purses. But the problem is guys like him are seeing the cash guys fighting Pacquaio are getting and looking down their noses at anyhting else.

    50/50 seems fair. If one or the other should get more I'd say Khan. They are about equal in terms of accomplishment, and Khan is at leats popular over here. Bradley sells about 1000 tickets in his own homestate, drew a small crowd in a massive building and a really low tv rating for his biggest fight to date. He's not an attraction, simple as.

    I doubt Pac will ever want to face errant headbutt Bradley, I don't see where his next lucrative pay deal is coming from.

    I asked Gary Shaw for a clarification on Bradley. Did he reject the offer made for @amirkingkhan or the fight outright? Gary said the fight outright

    Maidana's plan is fight in Argentina next then for a world title in November/December.

    Khan's next fight is on July 23rd so he better get someone signed soon or there wont be a fight at all for that date, i hope its Judah.

    Tim Bradley is officially a *****.

    "On my terms"---Tim would've got his biggest payday and doesn't draw even close to Khan.

    "I let you escape"---hahaha
