    Bradley Calling Khan Out: Why?

    Bradley knew after the Alexander fight that his contract was ending in the summer. He knew HBO had a set date for them to face each other so Khan-Bradley wouldn't have happened before that.

    Now, Bradley's fans will say he's made a smart move to get Khan and HBO to give him more money (because he's worth more) and then he'll fight. Then this whole Shaw and "waiting for the contact to expire" issue comes into the picture.

    He's getting to chance to fight Pacquiao down the line, will end up signing with TRP and the chances of Bradley-Khan happening then become more or less non existent.

    My question is this... If he wanted to leave Shaw, why call Khan out?

    Is it because he knew he was never going to take the fight?

    Surely he's smart enough to look and think about his future? How long ago did he know he wasn't going to fight for Shaw anymore.. this Alexander or closer to this date?

    For hype bro..This fight will happen after business is taking care off,Khan will have a belt after beating Judah..Bradley will have more fans after fighting a Maidana(who does not know how to be in a boring fight)and Bradley Khan will be a big event..It's already one of the three best fights in the sport right now..This is more hype..

    I also believe Bradley thought maybe something could be workout and was excited about fighting Khan..But we have to turn back to Shaw who I'm sure was unwilling to bend on wanting options on Bradley..It's a classic promoters move..

      Oh and the problems with Shaw has been there,Dunkin(Bradley's manager)been said it was about the money but then again it was'int..It was more so about handling business for Bradley's future..It was a smart move not to take this fight right now bro,Bradley worrying about business and promoters going into the biggest fight of his career means he is not 100% mentally..And what is boxing??More physical or mental??

        Because Bradley is a lying coward.

        He shouldn't have lied and said Khan was ducking him. This makes Bradley look foolish.

          I get how this can be a bigger and more lucrative fight further down the line and it also makes alot of sense for it to take place right now too. But the biggest issue here, now, is TRP.

          If Bradley signs with TR, Bradley-Khan will never happen IMO. Unless Arum dies and someone alil less of an ****** takes over. By moving to TR, Bradley is killing the fight.

            Basically Khan called Bradleys bluff.

            We know Khan has made a more than generous offer a career high pay day for Bradley in my opinion the offer is more than Bradley is worth.

            We know Bradley has rejected it.

            We have Bradley fans that are suddenly experts on fight contracts and know the ins and outs of Bradley’s contract with Shaw, when in reality all this talk is worthless speculation. Bradley has been as quiet as a mouse.

            Khan has made it clear that he wants to prove he is the best at 140.

            Bradley has made it clear he doesn’t.

              It has not yet been said where Bradley wants to go for his future fights..Oh and I don't see Bradley being like Pac or Cotto..I believe he will listen to his team but if he wants to fight Khan I believe he will make them get it done..No matter if he is on TR or GBP I believe Bradley will fight who he wants when he wants..He comes across as to strong headed to be lead around by the neck..I would not worry about Bradley Khan the fight will happen because it has to as long as both fighters are winning..

                LMAO dude i don't know if ya got the memo but Bradley is the best at the weight right now as we speak..Bradley is handling his business and as I've already said it would not have been smart for Bradley to be thinking about business going into the biggest fight of his life..Khan is not thinking of business at the moment,of course he is ready to fight..I want both at 100%don't you??Or do you want Khan to have some kinda advantage??I want both Khan and Bradley at the top of their games,noway Bradley can be that worrying about his future before a big fight at this point..

                Bradley has shown nothing in his career that leads me too believe he is scared or does not want this fight..He has better comp then Khan has and for way less money,time too get paid and have the come up promoter wise and money wise...

                  IMO, he definitely goes to TR but time will tell, I guess.

                  Let's hope you're right about the fight but like I said, I dont see it happening if he goes to TRP as Arum also is a guy who follows and does what he wishes and he's clearly stated he aint talking to GBP for any fight.

                    Sounds strange, indeed. Why call Khan out when he knew his contract with Shaw is expiring?
