Can somebody please explain to me why Timothy Bradley would duck Amir Khan?

[$tate of Mind]

Khan is talented but I don't think he strikes fear into anybody. I know Bradley is dealing with a contractual issue with Shaw, but I don't know what's holding up the fight. I'm skeptical about Bradley "ducking" Khan, I mean why would he?

A bird told me coz he is Asian. That's what slick boxers do nowadays. JFYI.

perhaps he feels that his '0's marketability is more valuable than the $1.3mil he was being offered by Khan...a risky fight in which he could very much lose that precious '0'

I think he was making himself available for the Manny Sweepstakes.

I wouldn't be surprized if there is a major turn around if Manny signs the Marquez deal

he might be jumping to top rank.

if that happens he'll probably get a pacquiao fight.

can't blame him.

a pacquiao fight is probably $5 million guaranteed plus cut of the ppv.

He also declined the 2nd offer of 1.4M dollars. That's 300K more than he made against Devon Alexander in the "Superfight".

i don't think it matters that jmm gets the pacquiao fight 1st.

if he signs with top rank , he'll for sure get the pacquiao fight sometime next year.

he'll probably just wait for pac and fight a tuneup instead.

doesn't matter. a pacquiao fight will probably be worth 5-6 khan fights.

plus khan will always be there later. khan ain't going anywhere.

I still hope/think the fight will get made at some point. I'd like to see a real JWW champion.

Yes, he is. Amir is gonna be competing at 147 in 2012. GAURANTEED.

It's not fair. This way Amir will never become unified 140 champion.

and if he gets a pacquiao fight , he'll probably get 3-4 times that just in the guarantee.

then add some ppv incentives and we're talking real money.

can't blame tim.
