    Bradley has said that he will fight Khan in april at england. So why hasn't Khan respond and say like "Lets get it on Bradley"?

    I want to clear something here regarding "Khan deserves a tune up fight after a hard tough fight vs Maidana." <<<<Umm that was Khan only REAL fight at 140 pounds. So why he needs a tune up fight after 1 tough fight? Like i said in my thread, why doesn't Khan just fight Bradley next in april?

    Business. He is young. Very young. There is no point is lining up all the elites especially when Bradley is young also.

    They want to make some money.

    You also want to monitor his progression. Bradley is more skilled than Maidana. He might not TKO Khan but he can legitimately UD him by breaking him down. A tune up is good to see what else they should focus on during training.

    Can you break down the specifics of Bradley's offer to Khan?

    Bradley was cut against Alexander, you think he will be ready to start sparring in a few weeks times?

    Shut it dick.
    One thing people cant accuse kahn of is being a duck.
    They said he would never fight maidana, he did, bradley will be a much more easy fight.
    And as to bradley offering the fight in april, i doubt he can, first its very close to his last fight, and i bet there is a re match clause with the quiter first.
    Its one thing for a fighter to say what he wants, but buisness with promoters is what decides who fights when and who.

    Hopefully you'll be able to understand this, Ray:
    • Khan's next fight will be in the UK because he's signed for it.
    • HBO have already invested a lot of time and money into this 140 final.
    • HBO will want to see this investment returned.
    • HBO will not allow this fight to take place on foreign soil.
    • HBO will maxmize their earnings if it takes place at home, in the US.
    • No matter what Khan or Bradley say, it's HBO who put money in their pockets.
    • A Khan-Bradley fight will have to wait until after Khan's UK fight in April, because that's what HBO want.

    A tune up is a waste.If khan thinks he's great and all that then f4ck tune up. If Bradley wants to fight Khan badly in April then lets get it on. I'm tired of people saying "Lets wait and build this fight up to make it better". <<It's annoying. Both Khan and Bradley are in their primes so lets get this fight made already.

    Simple question, has hbo said they don't want Khan vs Bradley next in england? I'm sure they will have no problem having that fight in england. It's a big fight no matter where it's at in which i'm sure hbo can't be that stupid. Khan in a tune up fight in england is a real waste of time in all honesty. Khan just fought 1 tough fight at 140 pounds so why he needs a tune up fight?
