Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Fires: Bradley Has No Balls, He Knows I'll Win!

[THE REED]

And what about the possibilities for Khan?

Yet he is willing to take the risk. Bradley is not.

Khan isn't listed as a possibility for Pacquiao... or Floyd.

Right now Khans biggest opportunity is Timothy Bradley, the other best fighter in the division.

Bradleys biggest fight opportunity is Pacquiao.. the best fighter in the world.

Pretty much... especially for someone like Bradley, where like it or not.. he just doesn't sell.

What does that mean? It means he needs to make the smartest possible decisions to make the most money for his future.

Now I don't care about another mans wallet, but I can in fact reason, and look at the situation and understand what a fighter might make certain decisions for the betterment of his career.

I don't condone ducking, in this case... a shot at Pacquiao is the opposite of ducking... it's an even harder fight than Khan.

While I think Bradley will be game, and competitive... I don't give him a chance at winning... but I'm not Bradley.

Ducking has become such a big part of the boxing lexicon that people have forgotten that at its highest level boxing is big business. When floyd doesn't fight MArg/Cotto to fight ODH?Hatton or Manny blows off Zahir Raheem for Morales people who forget these men do this to support themselves and their families start with he ducked this one etc.

Bradley not fighting Khan to fight Manny makes sense. Not like Tim can use the WBA jr welter titlte to buy food and pay his mortgage. Essentially, tim would be fighting Khan for $100k. Both he and Khan benefit from Bradley facing Manny first.

Oh reed.

Oh reed.

Weren't you just saying it's the highest profile fight at 140?

Sure he could fight JMM for more money, I'm sure of it... but I thought we were talking about highest ranking fight?

The two biggest title holders in the division.


The fact of the matter is, Bradley has a higher profile fight opportunity than Khan does.

I thought we were talking about money.

There are a list of fighters Khan could fight that would generate more money.

But hes willing to put those future paydays on the line against Bradley. Bradley is not willing to do the same.

A fight with Pacquiao ISNT just a payday.

It's a shot at beating the best fighter in the world.

It's a shot at a welterweight title, a huge upset, a launch into superstardom should he win.. AND a bigger payday, all rolled into one.

It's not JUST a payday.

Its a payday.

I rest my case bro... you are impossible to reason with.

Khan is from your country, you support him.. I get that.

But, to not see the opportunity that Bradley might be given and not give him a pass for it is ridiculous to me.

If the situation was reversed, and it was Khan being talked about as an opponent for Pacquiao, and Khan telling Bradley he'll have to wait if he gets a shot at Pac... I wouldnt be yelling:

Duck! Duck! Duck! He's running! He's scared.


I'd be saying: Well obviously.

Khan just made a multi fight deal with GBP, and he makes and has been making 1 million plus for his fights since signing with them in the first place.

BRADLEY DOES NOT HAVE THAT. Of course Khan can fight whoever, he's making bank for WHOEVER he fights.

Khan has been talked about for Mayweather. I dont see the difference. There are bigger, better and more high paying fights for Khan.

A lot of people were predicting that Khan would be the one to avoid this fight and jump to 147 for bigger fights and bigger cheques.
