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

Thank you ono i mean people are all saying he can't draw crowds it be silly for him to give it up. I mean there is no retirement fund for fighters and its not a career you can do in your 60's. I say make as much as you can because the fans don't care were you end up at the end.

I agree with you and Ono. Bradley's just being smart. If you are going to be paid 1.3 million for fighting anybody then why not fight someone, not just easier, but lower profile than Khan first and get the money that way, and then have the Khan payday still to look forward to.

It's kind of taking the piss out of HBO who got proper mugged off with that shit Alexander fight, but they set the contract so tough at the end of the day.

Bradley isn't a big draw so he's unlikely to be selling out any PPV's any time soon. Earn 1.2 million twice in a year probably sounds pretty nice.

I really can't blame Bradley for trying to make as much money as he can. If he can make bank and fight a bum why not.

But then again the same people that are defending Bradley for this practice also villified certain fighters for doing the same thing.

I don't.

Unless you mean Donaire. But then I couldn't care less who he fought, only that he should not have been Ring ranked at number 4 without fighting anyone.

He has since addressed that though.

I have to think Bradley must have other reasons for rejecting the offer. It's basically the same money as Khan, but what I don't get is Bradley is the one who called out Khan and then he pulls a knobhead move... for what? I dumbfounded. The only thing I can think of is Shaw must have put conditions on his contract.

[Mr140]

I am still pretty sure the fight while happen later on in the year anyhow.

[generalbulldog]

Khan is getting paid 1.25 million for the fight. People here were wondering about what Khan was making to determine if Bradley should get more. Well Bradley is getting more.

But from what I understand Bradley will get a guarantee 1.2 or 1.4 million fighting whoever next. So Bradley wants to make some money before he takes on Khan in a dangerous fight. It is what it is. HBO fucked that part up.
