What was ridiculous was that offer of 150k.

You're talking about an offer made more than a year ago, when Alexander hadn't yet beaten anyone, and when both were Showtime fighters, so that's completely irrelevant, and you know it. Why are you bringing that up when you know it's not relevant to the situation this year?

He turned down a fight with Alexander this year, when both were HBO fighters, and after Alexander had beaten both Urango and Witter. He'd have been offered far more than that to fight Alexander this year, now that Alexander holds two major titles and has two very impressive wins against top 5 opponents - probably around $1 million, maybe even higher than that. And he'd have been offered far more to fight Alexander this year than he's getting to fight Abregu.

Considering Bradley turned down a fight with Alexander this year, claiming that Alexander doesn't bring enough money to the table, you're being ridiculous.

Bradley turned down Devon because of the **** pay they tried to give him.He got I believe 800K for the Campell fight and they only offered 150K for Devon.

Not you as well!

How hard is it to understand that what he was offered to fight Alexander before Alexander had beaten anyone in the world's top 20, when both were Showtime fighters, and when Alexander held no titles, is completely irrelevant to the situation this year, when they are both HBO fighters, when Alexander has two major titles and has two impressive wins against top 5 opponents? He would have been offered far more than that to fight Alexander this year and you know it. And he turned down a fight with Alexander this year. So bringing up an offer he was made before Alexander had beaten anyone is rather disingenious, to put it mildly.

Why are you trying to confuse uninformed posters by rewriting history???

You an I don't know how much Bradley was offered to fight Devon so none of us can talk.But his fight with Abregu is about more then money.Its about showing WW he is there the fight with Devon is going to happen.They both will get alot more money because Bradley took his time to fight Devon too.Smart move on his part I for one see nothing wrong with it unless he loses to Abregu.

Dude I'm stating facts you are putting out things you think.Fact 150K was what Bradley was offered the first time.Fact Bradley moving up to WW is a smart move and could open doors for him.Fact you and I don't know what they offered Bradley the second time for them to fight(noway was it a mill).Those are facts yours is opinion so who is really doing the mis leading??

[Dave Rado]

Dude I'm stating twisting facts

Fixed it for you. You know perfectly well that stating a completely irrelevant fact, and pretending it is relevant when it isn't, amounts to lying.

You know as well as I do that what Showtime (who everyone knows pay a lot less than HBO) offered him last year to fight a then unknown fighter, who at that time had never fought anyone in the top 20, and who had never fought for a title, has no relevance whatsoever to what HBO would offer him this year (when he turned the fight down) to fight a unified champion, with two impressive wins against top 5 opponents under his belt. To pretend otherwise is just dishonest.

[Dave Rado]

You an I don't know how much Bradley was offered to fight Devon so none of us can talk.

He refused to even ask HBO how much they'd be willing to offer him, so he wasn't made an offer. But anyone who pretends that HBO wouldn't have offered him far more to fight a unified titlist, coming off an impressive knock-out over a top 5 opponent, than Showtime were willing to offer him last year to fight a nobody who had never fought a decent opponent and had never fought for a title, is either being dishonest or is very ill-informed.

VERY SMART MOVE BY TEAM BRADLEY. I see alot of you dont understand the business side of boxing. Mayweather has rewrote the book, and now all the smart talented fighters are reading it taking notes and following his guidlines. Why fight Alexander now for pennies, when if they wait for another year or two and remain undeated the show down will have more meaning more intrest, more appeal, worth more money. He is very smart and surrounded by smart people just like Mayweather. Besides you idiots just dont get it. fighters, fight for diffrent reasons, mostly self serving reasons, like Money, family security. MOST fighters come from poverty striken homes and comunities. The last thing they fight for are the fans, only a fool believes that they fight for us. We are just going for the ride enjoying watching there success in unarm real combat fighting. So next time a fighter or politician tell you there doing this for you, nod your head and say sho ya right bra!

Very good post. I will have to agree. The fans don't pay for ****, specially internet fans, the fans who actually pay for **** are the casual ones.

See you wrote a whole bunch without saying anything..Listen I respect you and sometimes we have been on the same team but here I have to disagree with you.Yes HBO would offer him more but was it too Bradleys liken??He should get a mill for that fight hands down anything under does not make sense..Dishonest how when you show me the proof that you know what Bradley was offered I'll be hushed up until then if anyone here is being dishonest it's ya self.

Once again where is your proof??I never read anywhere that he refused to hear an offer from HBO??Yes we know HBO has big money but we don't know the offer for all we know it was 400K right?He is fighting a good fighter a dangerous fighter as well.More dangerous then who Devon is fighting no?
