    Fighters are not lining up to fight Tim where he is going to make more money than this. Maybe a fight with Maidana but I can't see anybody else.

    Unless somebody is putting in his head that he might get a Pac or Floyd fight and decides to play it safe till he gets it ala Berto
    Bradley makes 1.3 no matter the opponent..That's a big reason he is pulling this and also demanding more money for a Khan fight..

      Khan-Bradley didn't happen earlier because HBO specifically set a June date for their match-up. Khan didn't want to sit around and be inactive until this eventual fight, that's why he fought Paul.

      You should have had another option in your poll that should have read "both". IMO he has played it smart as well as been a little greedy (of course we disagree on the greed issue). We're all entitled to our own opinion.

      Everyone dropping this whole "duck" shizer is BS though, these guys are warriors, fighters. I doubt that anyone of them is afraid of the other but as Khan himself has said in the past, this is a business also. Can't knock Bradley for trying to get all he can. Who wouldn't?

        On that basis he really does not have a sensible choice. Add to that that he wants to finish with Shaw it seems like a space filler fight means he will then be in a position to negotiate with Khan with no Shaw in the mix.

          Khan already did do this and was bashed for it(not by me)Paul was a money fight..I believe Bradley wants to fight Khan right now,but wants the deal to be better then 1.3 being the fact he gets that no matter who he fights..Khan is making 1.25 why not give Timmy 1.20..IMO its just good business what Bradley is doing..

            the money will come after he beats khan, time to unify and become a true champion and hopefully a real draw

              Green coming your way bro,this post iis it right here I totally agree..

              I believe we will get this fight still,HBO will just have to shell out a lil more doe for their mistake..I expect Khan to make 1.25 with Timmy making 1.20..

                    funny how all the Mayweather fans were arguing how Floyd should get a bigger cut than Pacquiao because of his PPV buys

                    Now Bradley is suddenly smart asking formore, a guy who cant sell out a 2000 seat ballroom?

                    lol, clowns, clowns, clowns

                    I support Bradley asking for more, but at the end of the day he needs to accept the fight or fight Judah.

                      I don't know all the details of the negotiations (but who does?) but I don't mind Bradley trying to get the most he can out of the fight. For us hardcore fans is a fight that must get done but in the end its a business. In no way I think he is pricing himself out in order to avoid the fight
