    If Bradley Rejects Khan's New Terms, is Bradley Officially Ducking?

    Khan's new terms for the contract include a massive 50% of the UK PPV going straight into Bradley's pocket and a guaranteed minimum purse of $1.4 million! With the UK PPV included, it could boost Bradley's purse to anywhere between approximately $1.8 - $2.2 million depending on the sales, possibly even more.

    Bradley stands to make at least 50% more money than he would if he took a fight against a "lesser opponent" for $1.2 million. He could potentially even make almost DOUBLE the money fighting Khan, depending on the PPV sales. If Bradley again rejects Khan's offer, is Bradley officially ducking the fight with Amir Khan?

    Yep.. If Bradley rejects the offer, he's Officially Ducking the Khan Fight.

    If he rejects then I'll start to doubt Bradley more but I dunno if he's Officially Ducking for sure.

          at the bottom of that article it states Bradley is likely sitting out until his contract with shaw is expired. I give shaw and Khan props, shaw for offering more money, minimal but more and Khan offering half of the UK money, both stand up moves especially for Khan who is said to low ball, but Bradley is stuck on not being with shaw, you can call it ducking, you have no basis but everyone is titled to their opinion.

            Tough choice, go the UK and fight Khan in his back yard, or stay home and fight Pacquiao here for a ton more money.

            hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

              The way I see it Bradley wants to get rid of Shaw and makes $1.2 Million fighting a low risk opponent and THEN is well placed to pick up big money against Khan in a high risk fight. If he goes straight in with Khan he runs the risk of losing and losing out on that $1.2 Million easy payday. In his position I would pospone the fight with Khan go for the low risk $1,2 Million payday and then negotiate hard for a mega payday against Khan.

                I think Tim's decision to not fight Khan has more to do with the fact that he really doesn't want to fight him in the UK--even though he said he would. I don't think it's a money issue per se, I think it's a location issue but Bradley isn't speaking up about it so he's just keeping silent.

                  He came here to beat Witter for the WBC honors, then he beat wbo champ Holt and later another WBC titlest in Alexander. Thats three champions, I understand him wanting Khan to go over they if he wants the fight. Bradley has done more and earned it. I don't see Khan wanting to jump a plane and go there either.

                    The fight is happening in the U.S for starters. And a Bradley-Pacquiao fight won't happen until at least March next year.

                    Pacquaio will fight Marquez or Judah next. Bradley isn't an attraction and can't draw the figures someone like Pacquaio demands at this stage in his career.
