Comments Thread For: Bradley vs Alexander in Jeopardy Over Contract Extension

[Devils Advocate]

Yes,There was talk of cotto going to gp after the clottey fight.Arum made
cotto sign a extension to get a manny fight

Thats business, Cotto would only sign an extension if he was given the Pacquaio fight and he made more in that fight than ever in his entire career. A logical move for Bradley would be to end of with GBP since they have more big named fighters at or around his weight. If he stays with Shaw he may end up fighting Angulo or Dirrell later on down the line lol. At least at GBP he has the opportunity to face Khan, Maidana, Ortiz, Marquez, and Katsidis.

I agree bro.I understand if bradley leaves shaw.This is buisness.

[Cotto 54/10]

No matter what, just make this fight happen.

This may sound naive, but maybe these fighters would be more loyal to their promoters if the promoters weren't constantly trying to screw them like this. If you let Bradley make this fight without an unnecessary commitment and show him you are dedicated to making the fights he wants, how does that hurt his chances of signing an extension anyway?

[JDezi4]

Can we wait and see what he decides before we say the fight is off? Damn... Scaring the boxing fans for no reason.

[starjammer]

Of course it is. I mean, why wouldn't it be?

Shaw is afraid of being left outta the mix......he's already complaining about arum & golden boy........


Shaw knows he's about o become a non-factor in boxing, especially if he loses bradley.....

I know Gary rubs a lot of people the wrong way, but there's no denying that he's one of the few promoters (if not the only one) consistently willing to match his kids tough, without strings attached (meaning, no options on the other side).

Also, most of his past contracts weren't even on paper, but handshake agreements. He's been ****ed over far more often than he's ****ed his own guys.

Exactly what I was thinking. This doesn't help Shaw's chances at all.

After Devon's last performance, my excitement for this fight is kind of blah. Word up.
