The chances are, Khan vs Bradley may not even be televised on a major UK tv channel let alone run as a PPV.
The amount of viewers willing to stay up until 4 in the morning to watch him fight an unknown American will be minimal. The amount of viewers willing to pay £15 to watch an unknown American will be almost non-existant.
Sky will not run this fight as a PPV. They may pay a nominal fee for the rights to this fight but I can't imagine it being over £100-200k.
Thus, the argument that Khan is making millions and Bradley is taking the short end of the stick is unfounded.
HBO have offered $3m for the event. Bradley is making $1.3m, almost half, and presumably Khan is on a similar kind of deal. The remainder of the cash will pay for the undercard.
Bradley's share of the total purse in this fight will probably range from 45-50%. This is more than a fair figure, and one he shouldn't refuse.
If this fight falls apart, the blame shouldn't be placed with Khan who has done all he can to secure Bradley as an oppponent.
