Exactly!! Even MANNYS BEST FRIEND (Amir Khan) is agreeing to the test for a fight with Floyd.

Khan looking for big pay day like everyone else so they will agree to whtvr floyd wnts,Manny gets big pay day w/out floyd

Manny should take OST, but as long as he has big pay days like floyd gets, he will not take test, khan and everyone else looking for big pay day, so others do wht they have to to get tht money

Thats true, but are you telling me you need money to prove your clean??? Dude I'd take the test if I was getting paid pennies, because I don't have **** to hide.

r people sstill talkn bout the steroid testin - its a non-issue as Pac and Roach hav both com out and said that. No way does steroid testing blok the fight from happening. Either Floyd's reluctance or Arum's reluctance to make the fight will be the only possible impediments

[ash85notts]

I thought Arum has promised Bradley a shot at Pac next?

Bradley seems like a forgotten man, with all this hype ..

although i agree he sudve just takn the test 2 make the fight for the fans - he sudnt hav to agree 2 the testn.. Who is floyd to dictate the rules. Since when does an athlete dictate the rules. in baseball, it's MLB, in football its the NFL, and in boxing its the respective athletic commissions. If Floyd REALY cared about testing, y wouldnt he go to the commission and make a request for that type of testing, which he NEVER did

You are 100% wrong. Go do some research on EPO.

Thanks sir....I will do some more research....

He doesn't need to, the commission knows whats going on, they can easily go "hey thats a good idea" the thing about it is boxing is corrupt, alot of fighters can't afford to pay for OST from USADA, they barely make enough out of there purses.

But there are some fighters that can afford it, and for the fighters that can't there promoter should foot the bill, but like I say boxing is corrupt and has been 20-30 before Mayweather or Pacquiao were even born.

Bob Arum has been doing sneaky deals, 30-40 years people either was born, did you think Bob Arum was a new promoter?

Bradley deserves to be a forgotten man. He calls out Khan 6 months ago, then after beating Alexander in a pretty boring fight he was already overpaid for (1.2 mil), he turns down a Khan fight when he was offered even more $ for (1.4 guaranteed) plus Khan offered half of his U.K. PPV, which Bradley deserves none of - just to make the fight.
For those sayin why should Bradley take the fight b/c he's guaranteed a purse from HBO regardless - there r a few reasons.
1. He's only guaranteed a purse from HBO for an approved opponents - Khan was one of them; initially an Alexander rematch was another, but HBO has no interest in that. Maidana was another option, but he's gonna fight Guerrero. Basically, there arent many options for Bradley to fight in which HBO will accept, plus their dates are filln up, so now, he could end up sittin around for the rest of the year.
2. Beatin Khan would have made Bradley the undisputed 140 lb champ (Judah only has belt bc Alexander stripped so Bradley should really have 3 of the 4 right now), and Ring champ. That win would also raise his marketability for a 2010 fight against Pac or Floyd.
3. He turned it down b/c he planned on takin an easier opponent, signing wit Top Rank and gettin Manny in Spring '12. But, now, there r signs that a Manny-Floyd fight is possible. If that's the case, who knows when Bradley may get a shot against either of them. If Pac-Floyd happens, a rematch is possible, meaning Bradley may be waitin til '13.

Great Move, Tim !
