Why do people presume Khan is going to make huge PPV money against Bradley?

[Rick Grimes]

The 100k buys in the UK will be because people want to see Khan not Bradley.

A lot would be buying it because he's fighting the #1 in the division.

[Spacey1991]

if it was only bradley you stpid prick the income would be 0

because its khan it makes a tiny bit of money

khan is the draw, he makes the money, prick,

It would deffo be PPV, ****ing Khan vs McCloskey was PPV and McCloskey aint nowhere near Bradley's level... I dont know what was offered, but if Khan expects to have a bigger share of the US and not give Bradley any of the UK that aint fair, IMO... if he had offered 50/50 and something like 15% of the UK that would be more fair, IMO.

Too many people are calling duck, when it seems that they don't know of what specifically offered... so it aint fair to make judgement, ive asked several times for links on what was offered to who and nobodies given me jack ****, so how can anyone say that its someones fault?

I want to see the fight happen but I aint making judgements until I know whats gone off properly, which is what everyone else should do too.

Oh and if somebody sends me a link of what one person says I aint taking that as gospel either, theres two sides to every story.

But part of the reason people will want to buy the fight is because they want to watch Khan take on the #1 fighter in the division for the unification, so obviously he does play a part... because they want to see Khan beat the man in the division... the fact that Khan is such a draw warrants him getting 50% of the US and the lions share of the UK IMO, if he didnt have any drawing power if wouldn't get nowhere near as much.

I think drawing power plays a big part dont get me wrong, but with Bradley beating who he has done, achieved what he has done... makes the fight more interesting, so obviously he plays a big part too, whether or not they are paying to see Khan win, they are paying to see him take on the best, so to say Bradley deserves jack **** is ******.

[Spacey1991]

Like I said before though I have no clue whats been offered, so I cant point any fingers.

McCloskey is a star in Ireland, and the fight started at 10pm.

Bradley is an unknown fighter in the UK with no drawing power. In addition to this the fight won't start until 4-5am UK time. Hence, viewing figures and buy rates will be very small and any broadcaster will probably lose money.

Hatton vs Pacquiao only did 350,000 in the UK. Imagine how few Khan vs Bradley would do?

[Pullcounter]

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.

didn't khan/mccloskey sell decently? if yes, then why wouldn't khan/timmah?

What don't you understand that he would be fighting the number 1 fighter in the world? McCloskey gtfo! Some of you are on some crack about this whole drawing power. Yeah, people watch Khan but part of the reason this fight is PPV is because he is fighting a highly regarded opponent. Bradley deserves at least 25% of all U.K. sales.

I'm wondering why you haven't been banned.

[Charmander]

Americans seem to think that the people buying it will buy it because Bradley is the nubmer 1.

Most of the 'boxing' fans for Khan are ******. They don't know Bradley.

The others that buy it hate Khan for being Pakistani.

Some are real fans.

However, Bradley is not someone that would make it go huge.

Unless you are from the UK, then don't even bother talking like you know what you re on about.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

If Bradley deserves ppv money, why doesnt he get it from HBO?

Oh yeah. Because hes nowhere near being a PPV fighter.

Bradley wants no part of Khan
