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

[danny711]

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.

Very true. Timmy knows that TR is interested.

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.

This would be a better route than losing to Khan.

Timmy is going to get whooped if he dares get in the ring with khan or manny the little head-butting dwarf

[PunchesNbuncheS]

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.

"GAURANTEED" ???????????

Use your head like Khan did in his last fight and spell guaranteed correctly.


How do you like the taste of your own medicine ?

[$tate of Mind]

If Tim doesn't fight Khan, who else is he going to fight? Even if he was to fight Pacquiao that fight won't come off for awhile. Tim hasn't fought since January.

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

Lol Bradley is not slick at all. He's a rough fighter. Not even defensive or slick, just a little dirty rough fighter. He has his own style that I haven't really seen. Or maybe I have seen Bradley's style before, but I just can't put a name on the guy I have seen it with. But it's a rare style, hard to look good against because he'll rough you up. It's not Hopkins cause Hopkins is an accurate counterpuncher with a lot of defense.


I don't think that highly of Bradley, actually all I do is hate on the guy, but I just don't see how he's ducking Khan. From Khan's last two fights, there is nothing to duck him about from a top fighter's point of view.

If he's after Pac he should move up to 147 and stay there. Fight and beat a couple of contenders, get used to the weight.

Get a fight with the magic man, then maybe Kell Brook.

[S.G.]

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.

How much more would he get against Pacquiao, though? Didn't Clottey only get like $1m? Bradley is barely a bigger name than him.

i think that was just clottey's guarantee.

i think he ended up getting at least $2m.


with marg guarantee was $3 million but i read he might have made as much as $6 million when all was said and done.

mosley was guaranteed $6 million. don't know what he got total.

marquez's contract is guaranteed $5 million i believe plus ppv.


so anything around those numbers will be a lot more just from the guarantee.

but remember with pac fights there's ppv bonuses.

True. He could also catch a career ruining mauling from Pacquiao, the likes of which Khan isn't capable of, though (see: Margarito's detached retina).

All in all, it's bad for the sport. Fighters feel like they're too good to pay dues these days. Need to stop paying them so damn much.
