Timothy Bradley Interview On Khan And What Is Going On

[John Barron]

bradley would have no problem filling seats at say like the honda center or the home depot center. he should pick better venues for people to recognize and follow him. once he has the fans he can go back fighting somewhere in bumfuck palm springs.

I see where Bradley is coming from. He wants to exhaust the guaranteed HBO purse of $1.2 million fighting anyone with name except Khan. So, when he fights Khan then the whole money situation will have to change and they have to offer or match the money HBO gave him.

So, to clarify.

Bradley wants to fight anyone except Khan to get HBO guaranteed purse.

Next, fight Khan for new purse guaranteeing the same amount.

I see Bradley then making in this year alone:

Timothy Bradley vs Devon Alexander - His purse $1.1 million

Timothy Bradley vs Any Named Fighter except Khan - His guaranteed purse $1.3 million

Timothy Bradley vs Amir Khan - His purse equals or more from his previous purse.

So, he could make $3.7 million. I see where Bradley is coming from he wants more money. And Gary Shaw is not seeing him from where Bradley is coming from.

The alexander fight was not premature, the problem was that it was the wrong venue (shouldve been in st ,louis) and their styles would always make a boring fight.

The only way to move forward given that both khan's and timmy's last fights were boring is to put both of them on the same card against bums in which both can shine, and then have them fight each other after that

He makes many valid points. I thought the Alexander fight was premature. He is right Khan didn't have to fight mccloskey. but it don't matter what Bradley says, he is gonna have haters who thinks he ducked Khan, which doesn't make logical sense. But its ok for Khan to fight Paul, and its gonna be ok when he fights Morales. Bradley has challenged himself time and time again, while Khan takes money fights

After reading that interview, nothing he says makes sense or has any basis in logic. He even said "it's not about the money" then he said he wants to "let the fight marinate..." so why does he want to let the fight marinate if it's not about the money? Bradley or Khan could both lose to other opponents in the meantime and then Bradley has blown his biggest payday just like that.

Seriously... I feel for the guy because he has got his **** the hard way fighting tough fighters.... be he was the one who called Amir Khan out. If he was being pressured by everyone and told that was where the money was I understand why he did, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

[wazaa.]

Then why the **** did he call Amir out?!

"Khan.... I let you escape"

Timmy is basically saying that he prefers fighting a lesser fighter than Amir for 1.2M dollars then fighting Amir for 1.8M.

Is it Bradley who picks venues or his promoter??

Pac or Mayweather would be Bradley biggest Payday..If Khan loses it's just really on Khan not Bradley..

To be fair,I think a fight between them would have been better if Alexander new who/or what he was doing in there..Alexander beat guy's off talent not skill..I had Alexander losing to Kottie but I can't be mad if someone saw him winning because Alexander is talented and shows fast hands and knew how to try to steal rds..But he was in noway ready for Bradley bro,he needed a fight like he's having now before fighting a Bradley imo..Kottie although solid is not like a Matt's who is gonna push the issue and have power behind it as well...
