BRADLEY speaks on KHAN fight not happening---"Hopefully we will meet in the future"

WBC and WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley said a July fight against WBA champion Amir Khan will not happen, but he has not ruled out fighting the British star later this year. “Right now I'm not fighting Amir Khan,” Bradley said in an exclusive interview. “Unfortunately, we couldn't come to terms. “I'm ready and willing to go and available for other opportunities. “ Immediately after Bradley's fight, there was talk he would face Khan in a July 23 bout in Las Vegas or Los Angeles. The fight was to be televised by HBO. Negotiations have been back and forth. Reports have said the sticking point was money, and the fight was declared dead over a week ago. But new reports this week by ESPN's Dan Rafael said Khan and his promoters, Golden Boy Promotions, sweetened the deal, giving Bradley a share of the pay-per-view revenues in Great Britain. It was also reported Bradley, who is expecting his first child in August with wife Monica, would have made $1.4 million for the fight, which would have been his career high. “I'd rather not discuss the private negotiations in public out of respect to the people involved,” Bradley said. “Hopefully, Khan and I will meet in the future.” There has been reports that Bradley's camp is sitting out until his contract with promoter Gary Shaw runs out at the end of June. Shaw had the rights to the July fight based on the two-fight deal with HBO. Bradley said he would not comment further on the situation. Also Dan Rafael: I asked Gary Shaw for a clarification on Bradley. Did he reject the offer made for @amirkingkhan or the fight outright?
