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

[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.

[Rantcatrat]

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?

[Spicoli]

You know what, good for him. Little gamesman ship is not new and Bradley is at the absolute peak of career with serious run of solid competition! He's earned the right. I don't think he's second guessing chances or anything of that nature. Division is in full flux and Bradley is a player positioning himself. What is Khan purse, good question.

I can't imagine a scenario where Pac would bother with Bradley, I mean on the business side it makes no sense, for the casual viewer it makes no sense. This isn't meant to sound like Bradley isn't a reasonable fight, he just doesn't have the draw to make it worth it. Sure Bradley has taken on all comers and has risen to the occasion, got up off the deck, powered through, who was watching though? Just us here at Saddos (most of whom stream the fights and don't contribute to the event monetarily anyway)

Now on the other side of the coin, the question is what does Pac have without JMM...........
Brandon Rios could move up to 140 is Pac could go down there, he is a much better draw than Bradley and there is also already history via Margarito/Pac training camps.

Come on man, Rios hasn't done nearly enough, not even close, to deserve a Pacquiao fight. Does he have drawing power? Right now he is fighting at 135 - imagine the backlash at that, Pacquiao fighting an unproven lightweight at 147, that's worse than Mayweather fighting Marquez at 147.

Bradley has been successful going up to 147 and is a unified champ at 140 and a top ten p4p fighter. Other than Marquez or SSM, there aren't any active fighters who have a draw worthy of being a Pacquiao B-side at his weight. With his win over Alexander, in my opinion, Bradley earned another big pay day, whether it is against Pacquiao or Khan. Bradley's the best of what's left.

Bradley/Alexander is precisely the reason I disqualify him from being in with Pac, they had less people show up than a busy day at McDonalds.

True Bradley-Alexander didn't do any numbers, but then again it was at the Pontiac Silverdome...yea the silverdome. If that fight had been in Vegas, Atlantic city or LA it would have been better, not great but better. You have to remember that Pac fought Clottey who was a unknown to the casual boxing fans and still did solid numbers. If Pac were to fight Bradley i would say it would most likely be at the Cowboys stadium so it could sell 50,000 or so seats plus the PPV's.

Well, I think it is critical to know what Khan is expected to be getting because he is known to try to lowball and criticize his opponent for turning down a specific amount without disclosing what he is making. A lot of recent possible opponents turned down a Khan fight, even Maidana before he finally accepted, due to lowballing attempts. I don't know what Khan is going to make with this initial offer but I find it very Khan-like that Bradley's purse offer is well known but Khan's isn't.

[Fenster]

Killersheep and Skel are right, Bradley isn't worth two bob. He split a million dollars for the Alexander fight, his biggest pot by miles, which turned out to be the ultimate dud. They couldn't give the tickets away. Bradley has ZERO fans outside a few internet forums.

Bradley offers Pac absolutely nothing.

[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.

[Cressa121]

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

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.

Khan lost the plot in the Maidana fight and no doubt a shit load of money through terrible promotion and choice of broadcaster. Cant imo be used as any kind of a measuring stick to this one. Perhaps Khans side will never divulge what they stood or stand to make. Offer Tim 60/40. Fights a done deal.
