Bradley: A fight with Khan won’t generate huge PPV numbers; it’s not worth it

Judah wants to fight Khan, and HBO will be all over a Judah vs. Khan fight. That is a much better fight than Khan’s last bout against Paul McCloskey, which still has boxing fans shaking their heads wondering why Khan chose McCloskey rather than a better known opponent that more suited his style.
