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

[Left Hook Tua]

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.

so he'll fight khan at 147.

[wazaa.]

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.

Amir > money > Pacquiao.

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.

What is the latest with his promotional status? When does the Shaw contract run out? I havent heard much lately.

[wazaa.]

so he'll fight khan at 147.

But it won't be for all the marbles (WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO) anymore then !!

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

maybe if he didn't get that $1.1mil from Devon, he might have taken this fight...perhaps he's satisfied with his bank statement at the moment and is no rush to risk his '0'

not sure.

but for sure arum is working on it.

he was talking all LEGALESE about bradley in an article i read a few days back.

you know the "i would love to sign bradley but i can't talk to him while he's under another promoter" type talk.

translation: i've been talking to him through other channels and just waiting for when i can steal him.

[wazaa.]

maybe if he didn't get that $1.1mil from Devon, he might have taken this fight...perhaps he's satisfied with his bank statement at the moment and is no rush to risk his '0'

then why did he say on national television to Khan, "to stop running"?

If he knew he was never gonna fight Amir on July 23rd, then why make such accusations?

That's what I'm not liking about it.

[Left Hook Tua]

But it won't be for all the marbles (WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO) anymore then !!

you think bradley cares?

let me see.....if i was him........

no belts/$6 million OR a bunch of belts that i have to pay sanctioning fee for/$1.4 million

hmmm......that's a tough one.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Because he knows he'll lose

[Left Hook Tua]

Because he knows he'll lose

maybe.

so if you were him...... lose to khan for $1.4 million OR lose to pacquiao for much , much more?

can't blame him.

not to mention losing to pacquiao will hurt him less than losing to khan.

lose to khan and he can't get a pacquiao fight.

lose to pacquiao and he probably can still get a khan fight.
