Bradley is an elite fighter, in 1 of boxing's best weight classes. I don't give a **** a$$ what any 7 digit fighter makes. But you do not call out Amir Khan, get offered a 7 digit payday then bail out.

Now Peterson took 2 titles that were easily his. He could have been an undisputed champion right now & would have been the 1st fighter to expose Khan's glearing flaws at 140.

That is all....

So now we know Bradley's feeling on not taking the fight with Khan..For those who don't,it's because he feels he can make the same amount fighting a lesser opponent(and also getting rid of Shaw in the process)..

When I first read about this I was very disappointed,but the more I thought about it the more impressed I became by Bradley's business mind..I also thought about how dumb HBO was of course..But really about Bradley bizzness acumen,he did something very similar with Alexander..Showtime was offering Bradley(I believe)500k to fight Devon who would have made about 300k..Had he took the fight then and not let it build neither would have made their career highest Payday..They also would not be in the position they are in now..Devon fighting for 1.2 or something mill against Matts,and Bradley can make the same against a lesser opponent then Khan..

Why not??Khan is not unified,he has not gone the same road as Bradley either..Most of Khan's fights were high end,he really never has taken lesser money to fight big risk opponents..Bradley has..Bradley's last fight was against a unified Champ and no matter how ya slice it Maidana was not a Champion neither was Paul who'sa face..Bradley deserves to take a lay down fight for big money..While he does this Khan can face a Judah for Judah IBF belt..

By that time Bradley contract will be over with Shaw and Bradley will be the hottest free agent on the market..Bradley with a Major Promotion team behind him and his winning way's equal big money..If Khan beats Judah big money fight for either of umm where they can get about 2 to 3 mill piece..If Judah win's same deal Judah is still a name and alway makes for exciting fights..What Bradley just did was a power move tbh,very smart imo..

What's ya thoughts??

I knew it was the right move all along. Bradley is now in line for a Pac fight. OR he could fight Khan which will be bigger than ever.

Bradley wins. Internet messageboard warriors lose.

Bradley move was GENIUS!

He got away from Gary Shaw, he still got his guarantee $1 Million+ fighting a Washed Up Fighter, while Khan STRUGGLED AND LOST to his left over (Lamont Peterson) hahaha

Bradley WON!

Now I think 2012 will be a HUGE BREAK OUT YEAR FOR HIM!

[bojangles1987]

Understandably greedy. Bradley has been trying to earn his place the hard way, and made a few moves because of frustration with his promoter and desire to become the star he thinks he should be. It's hurt him in the short term, but if it all works out, good for him. Bradley deserves it.

With Peterson beating Khan things have fallen into place for Bradley. Shaw is out of the picture. If he fights Peterson collects all the titles and fights Khan he will get a lot more than if he had fought him earlier. He is in line for some really big fights this year.

Bradley made the best move for his future,TR is better then being with Shaw..Fighting JMM is better then fighting Khan,don't be so emotional,use ya business mind bro..Everything about his move to TR screams he made the better choice by not fighting Khan..Oh BTW it's not Bradley's job to win Khan's fights for him,it's Bradley's job to market himself and look for the best opportunity possible..Which he did by signing with TR,the Khan fight could have been even bigger had Khan beat Peterson..But he did not hold up his end,not Bradley's fault..But this was a smart move to sign to TR no matter how a dude on a computer feels about it..This is a business not a street fight,and it does not run on emotions..

Hindsight is a great thing. Bradley is very fortunate with how things have worked out.

If Amir had beat Lamont (as most expected) Bradley would still be getting flamed here, not the other way around. Also, if Khan had won most people would consider him #1 at 140, and Bradley would have little case for a Pacquiao fight
