He was always ducking to begin with.
If Bradley Rejects Khan's New Terms, is Bradley Officially Ducking?

If Bradley doesn't take the offer he is ******ed. He's well capable of beating Khan and he is going to get money he isn't entitled just because his opponent wants to be the best in the division.
Is boxing about being the best fighter you can be or just a payday?Comment

Don start with this "ducking" crap, what does Kahn bring that would make Bradley want to duck him? His awesome one punch KO power?! I dont understand why Kahn is calling the shots in this fight, Bradley (on paper at least) is the top dog at LW..anyway Tim is right to decline a fight with such a **** offer.Comment

Hey moron!!!I don't know if ya can read but money has nothing to do with Shaw who would still be on the sidelines should Bradley sign for this fight right now..I know you want Bradley to be a dumb Ni@@a but that's not the case buddy..Oh and this fight does not happen on Khan's terms..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?
Now I wanna see this fight as much as anyone,but if ya can't see the business side of things your small mind and only can see ya hand in front of ya face..
Shaw,more fights being promised will be a big reason why this fight does not come off..I won't be surprised if Bradley does not sign to any promoter after he get's away from Shaw,at least for one or two fights..I know ya want to see this fight(you also like Khan and that's cool)but you have to see big business when it's happening..Every time I see a thread that holds info on what's happening in the nego for this fight,Bradley wanting to get away from Shaw always comes up..Ya know why??Because Bradley wants to get away from Shaw!!!Comment

boxing is about money now, I wish it wasn't. but dudes are trying to get paid out here for having a gift that few others have in this world. You guys say Khan is a big name, Bradley has already beaten big names, and if he is gonna fight Khan he wants paid, more than his last fight with Alexander, significantly more considering he just beat devon. When you got Arum in your ear saying come to top rank and I will guarantee you Manny and a pay day, its win/win. Khan is not going anywhere, unless he fights Judah, lol. the word ducking is thrown around to much, we don't know why fights don't happen, we ain't there when they are negotiated. we are talking about professional athletes who are prolific in a certain sport, this is a combat sport, I doubt any boxers are afraid of each other, that's just dumb and considering who Bradley has already faced makes it even more dumb you think he is possibly ducking. I have been watching boxing since a kid, the only person I credit with a legit duck is rid**** bowe when he refused to fight lennox. Just get over the ducking factor.Comment

Boxing is about both..Bradley is topdog at this weight,and like ya said he is capable of beating Khan,he has no reason to duck Khan what so-ever..But he does have very good reason to get his business in order..Bradley is not moving by Khan's clock,if Bradley does not feel like he wants to go off into another fight with Shaw(which I gather is the issue)then that's his right no??
Bradley is the num 1 fighter in the div,and by god he is acting like it..Smart move if ya ask me(to an extent),you have to do what's right for you imo..Bradley has fought some of the best fighters in his div I can't be mad if it's time to handle business..Comment

I don't know how you can't call it ducking.. I mean if Khan did the same thing to Bradley I'm sure most people here would call it ducking. Bradley rejected two very good offers, the last offer was fantastic. There's no guarantee that either fighter will be in the same position in the future, they're both only human and neither is invincible. If one of them loses then the fight may never happen, but Bradley's actions make it appear like the fight will never happen anyway.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.Comment

Yeah ok man, so now you're buying into Bradleys' repeated claims that he wants to get away from Shaw when only a few months ago just before the McCloskey fight, and after Bradley had repeatedly headbutted Alexander into submission, Bradley was calling out Khan! Why the hell didn't Bradley want to "get away from Shaw" only a few months ago? Is he so short-sighted that he only realized he "wanted to get away from Shaw" in the past month? Come on man, that "getting away from Shaw" excuse is ridiculous when you put things in perspective.. Again, Bradley called out Khan only a few months ago.. as soon as Khan makes it clear he wants the fight.. Bradley starts throwing out excuses, running and ducking the fight..Hey moron!!!I don't know if ya can read but money has nothing to do with Shaw who would still be on the sidelines should Bradley sign for this fight right now..I know you want Bradley to be a dumb Ni@@a but that's not the case buddy..Oh and this fight does not happen on Khan's terms..
