If Bradley is gonna fight Pacquiao in November, why can't he fight Khan in July?

[» HE3R0 «]

Other than the money.

Bradley might gain more fans in a loss to Manny in comparison to winning/losing against Khan.

Smart move by Bradley.

Makes him more money, gets him more publicity, and is an even harder fight than Khan.

Why not fight Amir in July though? Finish the contract with Shaw and be a free agent after the July fight.

Well if Bradley loses to Khan than he doesn't get a shot at Pacquiao.

Nobody would make that move.

Only Khan fans will claim a duck, everyone else can CLEARLY see, the sensible thing to do is either to wait, or to take a tune up.

You don't take a 50-50 fight, right before you get a shot at the best fighter in the world.

His contract with Shaw expires this May and I don't think Shaw's renewal offer would be a one fight deal. It won't happen like that.

People dont wanna see the best two at 140 get it on.

Sad.....

I'd love to see it, but, I'd also like to see Bradley - Pacquiao.

Anyone in Bradleys situation would obviously take the Pacquiao fight first, if possible.

And after Pacquiao beats Bradley. Where is he gonna go then?

The only reason why Amir wants to fight Bradley is because of the belts and his '0'. He won't have his '0' after Pacquiao and the sanctioning bodies probably will have stripped him off his belts by the time.

There is only one thing that is attractive about Bradley and that is his '0'. He is not a draw and his fights aren't exciting to the casual fans. You take his '0' away and there will absolutely be no demand for a Bradley fight anymore.

I don't think Bradley has to extend his contract with Shaw. He can do one fight and then he is gone. Fat Dan confirmed this.

He will have to get back in line at 140 for a title shot... win another title, and then try to force a unification bout with whoever has the other belts.

A Floyd or Pacquiao fight is the pinnacle... if you get a shot at either of them, you take it.

If it was Khan who got the shot at Pac, and he was the one who told Bradley you'll have to wait Im gonna fight Pac first... I wouldnt be calling duck... I'd be saying... well obviously take the Pacquiao fight.

Amir already has plenty of money. Why would he lose to Manny when he can win from Bradley? Amir would never prever Manny over Bradley. Never.
