Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley: From Hunter to Hunted, and He Likes It

[Dave Rado]

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?

You don't seem to have followed what happened. HBO has never made him any offer because he has never asked them to. How hard is that to understand???

It was all covered in detail by the boxingscene journalists. Bradley gave an interview to boxingscene in which he claimed that completely irrelevant offer from Showtime a year ago was a reason not to fight Alexander now, even though they are both HBO fighters now, and even though Alexander is a unified titlist now, and had never fought for any title a year ago.

Alexander responded to that interview by giving an interview of his own to boxingscene, in which he pointed out that the offer from Showtime a year ago was completely irrelevant in the context of what HBO would offer him now, and he challenged Bradley to go to HBO with him and ask them to make them an offer.

Bradley never responded to Alexander's challenge.

That's a fact. Google is your friend.

What is dishonest is your pretending that the offer he received from Showtime a year ago when Alexander hadn't fought anyone has any relevance whatsoever to the situation today, when you know damn well that it doesn't.

Why would HBO, who pay Amir Khan over a million dollars per fight, offer the two top fighters in the division $400k to fight each other? Why are you making figures up? The fact is that Bradley never tried to find out what HBO would be willing to pay them to fight this year. That is just a fact. And there is no reason whatsoever to suppose that HBO would have lowballed them if they had tried to make the fight. Bringing up the Showtime offer of a year ago, and pretending it is relevant to the current situation when it isn't, is dishonest. That's a fact.

HBO pays Khan that kind of money for the same reason GBP wanted to sign him,, because he's a cash cow...Khan has a huge fan base more than Bradley and Devon put together,,, I believe there was a second offer for Bradley and Devon fight and there was another poster on here that also said it,, but i can't seem to remember who he was but claimed to be related to Devon, but he said 800k was offered for that fight earlier this year, if i'm not mistaken...now a SUPERFIGHT between Devon and Bradley could do alot more than that, and Bradley knows it

Worldwide maybe, but not in the US - not yet, anyway. HBO is only interested in the US market.

I believe there was a second offer for Bradley and Devon fight and there was another poster on here that also said it,,

No journalist has ever said so. Nor has Bradley or Alexander. I wouldn't put any faith in what a forum poster says, if it isn't backed up by a single article by a reputable journalist, or by any statement made by either fighter.

now a SUPERFIGHT between Devon and Bradley could do alot more than that, and Bradley knows it

Whether by waiting they'll turn it into a superfight is open to question and I'm not going to get sidetracked into that debate in this thread. The point I was making was that in comparison with a year ago, it is already a superfight, and therefore to bring up what Bradley was offered a year ago to fight him and pretend it's relevant to what he would make now is just dishonest.

I understand you point on a year ago,, Recently HBO is asking for this fight in January but has not said anything about money, now before all this, when Maidana pulled out, Alexander never once contacted Shaw for a fight even tho cunningham did alot of talking on BS, so why even ask HBO...Bradley was on a radio interview and i try to dig that up for you, but he was on his way to a laker playoff game and he was questioned fighting alexander because of Maidana pulling out of the fight and he also said HBO only offered 150k for the fight and this is coming from Bradley..but anyways lets just hope in January HBO puts up the kind of money this fight is worth cause IMO i think this could be a Trilology

I followed what happen which is why I said a number of times I did not recall hearing about an offer or the numbers of the offer.It was you who kept talking about HBO putting up big numbers for them to fight.Bradley brought up what he was offered the first time to show everybody that he was being low balled.It is a bigger fight now and should be treated as such don't you think??

As far as Devon having too belts and fighting rank fighters Devon fought two rank fighters right??Bradley has fought five hmmm.Bradley has earned the right too test the waters at 147lb being the fact that he beat every opponent put in front of him at 140lb and fought his way to the num 1 spot.Devon beat two rank fighters and all of a sudden he is the talk of the town..Let Devon prove a little more that's just my opinion..

Khan is a big draw look how he and Paulie sold MSG out do you really believe Paulie was the one putting asses in those seats??Khan is big period cause of being from the UK and because he is a ******.Khan is a bigger Draw then Bradley and Devon believe that my friend..

Quick question.Do you not think it is smart that Bradley did not fight Devon right away??
