Bradley turns down Khan fight thinks he is worth more that $1.4 for the fight.

[skel1983]

As Gary Shaw and Fat Dan, Khan has signed the deal and is ready to rumble for July 23rd. Bradley has turned down $1.4 million according to his promoter Gary Shaw, I hope this is just games and he is trying all he can to get a bit more before signing.

To be fair Bradley holds two titles and is number one, but on the other hand he has no fanbase and his last fight was awful he stunk the joint out $1.4 million seems fine to me.

Yeah Bradley would be a fool to not take this, it's not like people are beating down his door to give him 1M+. If it is games then that's one thing, but if it's not that leaves us to two conclusions.

1. His team believe he can make more elsewhere.

or

2. His team believe Khan would end his career.

Bradley is a hardworking fighter, but I don't think he brings anything to the table that can trouble Khan bar a headbutt to the chin. He doesn't have that bingo shot and has the reach of a straw weight.

Wow shocking

Where else will he make $1.4 mil?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

and what is khan getting?

[skel1983]

I think Bradley want's rid of Shaw and this is he last fight wouldn't surprise me if this offer is with a clause to sign for more fights with Shaw, just doesn't seem like Bradley to turn down a big fight like this for that sort of money.

[MMASUX]

He's crazy to turn down that money, i hope it's all a ploy to get more money. I want to see this fight happen.

What occured to me when I read this is that Bradley may be trying to position himself for a fight with Pacquiao for more money. If Marquez signs with GB and doesn't take the Pacquiao fight, who is left for Pacquiao that is a better opponent than Tim Bradley?

Also, what is Khan getting for the fight?

[IamInuit]

and what is khan getting?

Probably 5 or 6 mil. I cant say I blame Tim really. Seems like a low ball offer.

5 or 6 million hahaha, you serious? How the fuck is he getting that? This aint on HBO PPV, he will not be getting much more than Bradley.

Khan only got $750,000 for the Maidana fight, I can't see him getting much more than Bradley for this fight, certainly not as much as $5 million+ more.

I hope this is gamesmanship, it just doesn't seem like Bradley to turn down a fight with anyone especially for over $1 million. I think Skel might be right, it could be a clause to do with extending his deal with Shaw that's the sticking point.

Maybe if Bradley was more of a draw he could expect more money. Truth is though he couldn't sell out a phone booth.

But Khan deserves the lions share of the pot, afterall, he will be bringing in at least £500 from all of the UK box office buys!

Simply put, if true, Bradley would be a fool to turn down 1.4 million, he's just not that marketable, and who else could he fight and make that kind of money? Let's hope they work it out, i'd like to see this fight.

What kills me is the invoking of the obscurity card when it comes to Bradley vs a Pac. Yeh Bradley may have all the charisma and flare of warm bologna on Wonder bread but Manny could dry shave in the mirror and make quality coin. The general public is missing quite a story I'd say and a fine fighter to boot so I dont mind dropping the name as often as possible.

On the flip side you have Manny taking Mosley on, and lets get real, name alone. He's established a following....as well as being partners in Oscars syndicate.....so it pushes the publicity. This isn't on 'merit' in regards to cleaning up a division and doing nothing but winning, ala Bradley...its two guys high fiving in the backroom. Yes, I give Mosley a shot on size and power alone but Manny is running out of dance partners. Bradley vs Alexander WAS a great match up and though promotion and fight site was terrible WE knew it was a good match up and what boxing needs! You dont have a crystal ball to tell you Alexander would turn into a kitten and go limp, but I give Bradley all the more credit for putting him there and taking his confidence. I dont buy Bradley being this ugly duckling and therefore its 'understandable' for the big fights to pass him over for fear of a bad gate or poor turnout when it comes to Manny. He...boxing... doesn't get that pass from this one. Him making noise and rattling Khans chain is him insisting on respect earned. I believe this fight will happen, its getting people talking. Khan needs it too, Maidana just got out fought and in many eyes went even with an ancient Morales and respectfully here, he cant keep pulling guys off milk cartons across the pond and having shite endings like that. Not sure where this was going, hope it got there
