      I don't disagree with most of what he said.

      And hes right, HBO way overspent on this fight, and for the amount of money they invested it didn't produce. It wasn't hyped outside of hardcore fans, the fight wasn't exciting the way they hoped it would be, empty seats all over the place, and now where are they?

      I think Bradley vs Kahn is the most logical fight, Alexander vs Maidana works too.

        just like they said devon would. bradley was cool, calm and collected the whole time. i see the fight as a toss up. i dont see how kahn beats bradley with bradley sticking to his game plan no mater what

          How can he say Pac didn't want to do the tests and also say there were no negotiations! Also Greenburg who works for HBO boxng also confirmed talks of the second negotiation.

            The question is does Bradley end up being a bigger star with Arum or Shaw? Does he make more money with Arum or Shaw? The answer is obvious. Problem is that if he joins Top Rank he probably won't be able to fight Khan.

            But you can say all you want about Arum being a prick, but he has done a better job for his fighters than anyone else the last ten years or so. Look at how much Cotto has made vs how much JMM has made. Look at Mosley leaving GBP because they weren't backing him in fighting Pac.

              pacquiao will break bradley's orbital bone or some ****. . .

              pacquiao will seriously hurt bradley if bradley manages to survive and go the distance. if pac doesn't catch him with one punch and put him out of his misery quick, bradley WILL SUFFER career ending injuries en route to eating over 350 punches. . .

                Nobody listens to Floyd anymore, in our book he's simply retired.

                  Did Bob just tell on himself, paragraph 6 is basically saying (You must be either a free agent or a Top Rank fighter, to even be considered as an option to fight Manny)..

                    If Manny wanted to do the tests, then why did the fight not happen?
                    Being honest by saying "Ok, Manny did decline the tests at first" is not bashing Manny, it's just telling the truth.

                    And on the negotiations thing... Talking and negotiating are 2 separate things.
                    You can call and talk to me every day, but if you don't meet my terms then you're just talking.

                    Talks happened yes, but as far as negotiations? I doubt that seriously.
                    Floyds terms were made clear after the Mosley fight, you can't just ignore that you heard him say (No test, no fight)... 0 days cut offs... Not 7, not 14 but 0.

                    It is what it is man, however you spin it the fight failed cause Manny declined to do the tests according to WADA/USADA standards.
                    No cut off, no windows, even if your last test was 18 19 days ago, you're still open to testing till fight night.
                    Floyd/mosley had no cut offs, the last test was 18 days, but both were still able to be tested.
                    So I wish people would stop calling that a "Cutoff".. Both guys were still open to be tested.

                    And why on earth would a clean fighter need to know when testing would stop?
                    I still can't figure out how that shyt slipped by unnoticed.

                      But Khan is on another level compared to Devon. I see Bradley putting constant pressure on Khan and making him back up, but I see Khan going in and out with quick flurries. If Khan uses the ring to his advantage I think he could decision Bradley.
