    It's not Bradley who wants the Khan fight to marinate more.
    it's Floyd Mayweather..
    HE'll fight Khan in England when the right time will come

    Bradley will fight PAC ..

      So If starjammers excuse was he wanted to be a star but hasn't got that love, then your argument means theres no point of waiting.

      I don't get your point here?

      Fight Khan and get paid well, remember that Uk PPV could make him his purse back.

      200k makes a revenue of 5 mil.
      100k 2.5 mil.

      I would think they hit 200k if mcclowskey who is unknown and it was not promoted and on a crap channel made 60k.

        I guess you could change the thread title to: "Marinated duck on the menu for Timmy!"

          My point is, Why is he not fighting Khan?

          Simply he might wait til khan looks bad.

          Remember Cunningham and Alexander barking all day long, then **** Kotelnik makes him look crap, and guess what, that fight got made.

            Pac is fighting Jmm...

            Bradley has time for one more fight. Beatig Khan would sell the fight more, revenge for a stablemate, a Roach fighter.

              I can't, for the life of me, figure out why he turned down a career high payday to fight Khan.

                Instead it would have been more beneficial to the fans for him to have been made no guarantees, and then subsequently made the 1.3/1.5 mil offer for Khan with UK PPV incentives. I'm sure he would have taken in that position.

                It's all about mindset.

                Of course that's also not how the business works, and HBO were doing anything to guarantee they made the Bradley-Alexander fight.

                I think Bradley is a great guy and fighter, but when you are not in the elite superstar tier of this sport, I think giving these fighters these sorts of guarantees is damaging to both the sport and to the fighter themselves.

                  It sounds like He has problems with his promoter,could make Khan wait and fight somebody else and take his 1.2 then come back and nego with Khan for good money..Did not like the way he was being rail road into taking the Khan fight when others wanted him too..

                  Long story short distraction..Boxing is 80%mental and if ya not mentally focus your done..

                    I read the interview again. I don't really know why he has backed out. He called Khan out a lot, and even said I will go to the UK and cause havoc at the Mccklskey fight.

                    So of course Shaw will hand him Khan.

                    It's just strange to said let's build it up, the same excuse as he did with Alexander, and then make it haopen after zkotelnik gave Alexander a boxing lesson.

                    Interestig he says Khan fights to the level of his opponents. Does he fear Khan has other levels, or is too fast for him?

                    I am not sure but he seems to be a guy who needs confidence to win.

                      Bradley was signed and coming to HBO before the Kottie Alexander fight took place..
