I suppose reasons can be found, like, for instance, he'd found that he was playing around with his wife behind the promoter's back. Or unless the fighter was a low level guy, and the promoter had backed his opponent heavily. or maybe was intending to leave for another promoter.
These are all speculative reasons and I don't know of any actual instances. I don't know when Bradley's contract expires, but I believe that Top Rank always has a contingency clause allowing them the option of extending the contract for 12-18 months. Also, they always include injury time as an add-on. Besides, Bradley is not in a war with Top Rank which has been good to him, and anyway disputes can always be resolved, and business is business, the fighters and promoters don't have to hug and kiss one another every day.
The vast majority of fighters and promoters rarely see one another except in the run up to a fight or for some contractual matter. They are separate people connected only by business.
