    Amir Khan's camp is moving on after the deadline imposed by Golden Boy Promotions for unified junior welterweight titlist Timothy Bradley Jr. to accept an offer to face fellow titlist Khan in a July 23 unification fight came and went Wednesday.


    This is the latest.

      khan was doing Bradley a favor by not only accepting 50-50, but even trying to face him in the first place.

      Khan is one of those guys who can be the face of boxing, has a huge following and can actually turn into a PPV attraction, wheareas even if Bradley beat Khan and unified 140.....no one would still give a **** about him. Talk about being dellusional, especially when his fight against devon was complete **** from both a boxing and business perspective.

      With that said, Khan should and probably will move on. Judah and Marquez fights will earn him much more money......hell even a Morales fight will, then he can go up to 147 where his career would really take off.

      I think either Pacquiao or Mayweather would do huge #'s (talking 1.5 million plus) and then there are other GBP fighters such as Ortiz and Alvarez that could be built up into megafights later on down the road.

      Fvkk Bradley, and FWIW I told people dude would act like this once he tasted a little bit of money.

        I think this has been handle poorly by Team Bradley, Even though this was ultimately HBO's fault in guaranting Bradley a next fight for 1.25M, they should have put the names of who those fighters/opponents would include to get that 1.25M.

        But yea bradley doesnt look good now when you look back at the video of him telling Khan to stop running out there.

          It has got to the point now wwere Bradley is getting so much stick from his own fans, anything other than a Khan fight is going to be a disapointment. Who else can he fight?

          And all Ive ever heard is Bradley is a warrior, he this and that. But if you're offered roughly the same sum to either fight the best in the division or an average fighter in the division, only a f*g takes the easy option.

          Man up Timmy, take your career high purse, you need Khan, Khan needs and wants you. lets make it happen and stop with all this BS that comes with every major fight

            Funny thing is I believe Khan knows how much he needs Timmy even if you think he does not need him..Khan moves up and fights any top level WW he loses..Then what does he have??Nothing..Bradley needs Khan and Khan needs Bradley there is noway around it..Bradley wants to be taking care of(from my understanding with more then money)if he wins or loses..Once again I don't see anything wrong with that I believe its a smart business move..Something like Khan with his rematch clause he put in the peterson fight where Peterson would make the same money even if he won...No??

              Timmy KNOWS he needs Khan aswell, or he should do if he's got any sense. Right now Timmy's resume is better but only just, Peterson aint up to much, he butted Nate Campbell into oblivion and the Alexander fighter was just plain awful. Khan took McCloskey as a TUNE UP, not as a legitimate fight like Maidana or Malignaggi.

              Bradley cant even draw a crowd in his back garden to watch him fight never mind Las Vegas. He needs Khan, and if he loses that 0 without fighting Khan, Bradley will be nowhere. He has no loyal fanbase to call on

                Khan has a multi fight deal with HBO, basically the most coveted deal in all of boxing outside of getting a fight with Pac or Floyd.

                Khan is GUARANTEED to fight for years on HBO and get paid. He DOES NOT NEED Bradley.

                Khan sold 17,000 tickets fighting a tuneup against a low level fighter like McCloskey, and got paid over 1.5 million dollars after PPV and gate. He DOES NOT need Bradley.

                Bradley on the other hand, failed to sell EVEN 1000 tickets in his last fight against another undefeated American boxer! NOT EVEN 1000 TICKETS! Bradley couldn't even sell 2,000 tickets in his own hometown. And he has lost HBO money.

                I guarantee you, Khan DOES NOT NEED Bradley. If anything, Bradley needs Khan, BADLY to raise his dismal profile. Especially if he does not get the Pac fight he wants so badly. If Tim gets that Pac fight, obviously his profile will be much bigger.

                It ain't fair, Timmy SHOULD be bigger. There is no doubt about this. But the fact is, he ain't.

                  Exactly !!

                  Amir should never give Timmy the chance to fight him ever again. He should simply ignore him.

                    i will bet that he will make more money this coming fight than with khan.....he is not alone ,he has advisers(not like what happen with 750000 marquez against john)..bradley has the capacity to make more fans.I personally dont like or dislike him,but after the way he got up against holt won my apreciattion....who do you think he should fight if not khan?.well thats a question only average fans can answer because they only know househould names...idiotics like haye should fight paquiao...
