This is becoming very sad I was a huge Desert Storm fan but Tim Bradley is really letting me down take the fight what other fight will honestly make him around $2 million? Pacquiao vs. Marquez III is already signed. Timothy Bradley man up and fight Amir Khan.
The problem with the tune up logic is HBO still has to approve the opponent. If he rejects this and it pisses them off, then hypothetically they could reject him no matter the opponent.
Bradley is such an idiot. I could maybe see that argument for the previous offer but this brand new offer is way more than what Bradley is worth. He talked about wanting Khan so much and now he is *****ing out.
Anyone who doesn't think what he is getting is a good offer is an idiot.
i think its a good offer but he was next in line for a fight with pacquiao. blame arum if anything for mentioning this cuz now the khan offer is peanuts compared to a pac fight.

That $1.5M minimum will be doubled for Pacquiao in the spring.
$1.2M for an already-guaranteed tune-up by HBO + $3-5M for Pacquiao in the spring
OR
$1.5M for Khan (LOSE AND NO MORE MONEY)
I went to school, so I know which route I'd take. But most boxing fans are minorities who dropped out of high school, I can't expect them to actually sit down and crunch the numbers without letting their emotions get the best of them.
Uhhh and what happens if he loses or gets injured in his tune up fight? Or he can manup and KO Khan then make even more money.
What you say to that Chester?

It doesnt matter how you calculate this ****, Bradley is b*tching out of fighting Khan!!!!!
This definitely seems like something else other than a duck. At first I though tit was Bradley maybe ducking. I'm not a fan of the guy at all, I don't like his headbutting style and without head butts he would have lost to Alexander. It's hard already to try to avoid punches, but to avoid headbutting and punches, that's even tougher and that's what you need to prepare yourself for when you fight Bradley, which already makes you a 50% fighter, you won't be at 100%.
With that said, I don't think this is a duck, Bradley is everything except for a ducker. He fought Witter in his backyard, he fought Holt when he was at his best, he fought an undefeated Peterson, he fought an undefeated Alexander, and he went up to WW to fight an undefeated puncher. So I doubt he's afraid of once knocked out Amir Khan, who has suffered a total of 5 knock downs in his career, 3 to lesser fighters.
I'd like to hear what Bradley has to say though, what is his reason to turn this fight down. We heard Khan, we heard Shaw, we heard the fans assumptions, we've heard everybody except Bradley, he needs to come out and talk.
Bradley is being a vagina.
I know that boxig at that level is a business but that is a lot of money and if he beats Khan the sky is the limit for big future paydays. I guess he is going to hold out
Just telling it how I see it man. If you think he's ducking then that's fine, I could care less. I don't think he is. I guess having an opinion makes me a lapdog? You're reaching man, give up. SMH
How the helll the guy doesnt accept the fight, wich will be his biggest payday to date, for a so call, fight with Pacquiao wich as this point is a maybe!!
If he fights somebody instead of Khan, before fighting Pac(If he gets it, wich aint certain) he is a straight up b*tch!
Bradley needs to state clearly what he wants so that people can move on. Why is he wasting other people's time? If he doesn't want the fight, why can't he say so? He's been dragging this fight without even coming out to explain things.
dude pathetic excuse for a duck. he could at least make an agreement of a fight at some point are you the little head butting midget's lapdog?

And that will constitute in a b*tch move and a duck!!!your right its a b*tch move but business is business lol!
SMART MAN!
GET THE MOST MONEY YOU CAN BRADLEY! But i still think the play is to let his contract end with Gary Shaw next month and sign with Top Rank
thats what i think, he aint scared of khan. but who knows maybe he will accept the khan fight at the last minute.
Maybe Bradley knows he is GUARANTEED a fight with pacquiao about a year from now (should pac beat marquez)? And he knows in the meantime should he choose to fight, HBO HAS to offer him a fight and pay him one million bucks. He doesn't have to fight Khan to make seven figures. Shame on HBO for giving him that opportunity. i'm not a bradley fan and could care less who he fights next but maybe there's a reason he's holding out. with his contract expiring soon why not hold out and go to a much better promotional company like top rank and get a fight with pacquiao for maybe triple the money that he's being offered for the khan fight? its simple mathematics.
2.5-3 million for a pac fight>>> 1.4 for a khan fight. bradley's contract expires at the end of june, thats only a little over a month. he can hold out till then, sign with top rank, take a fight in the fall under the top rank banner, and then fight pac next year.
And that will constitute in a b*tch move and a duck!!!
He'd have to sign an extension in order for the fight to happen in July. Did Shaw say he wasn't going to make Bradley sign an extension for more fights. Please provide a link to this.
