Gary Shaw and Thompson Promotions File Lawsuit Against Timothy Bradley

[Terrel]

Co-promoters Gary Shaw and Ken Thompson have filed a lawsuit in Florida against Tim Bradley and his co-manager Cameron Dunkin as a result of Bradley's decision to pull out of fight against Amir Khan, which was scheduled for Saturday night, according to a source familiar with the litigation.

In the suit, filed on July 1 in Florida's 17th Judiciary Circuit Court of Broward County and cited by Bradley during a July 12 interview with BoxingScene.com, the undefeated boxer is being sued for breach of contract and Dunkin for tortious interference.

Khan has replaced Bradley with Zab Judah for Saturday's clash at the at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

"Tim Bradley owes us another fight, and he owes HBO another fight, and we have first-last in matching,” Shaw said. “Tim has refused to talk to myself or Ken Thompson or [Thompson Promotions partner] Alex Camponovo. I feel that he's gotten really bad advice to have passed up the Amir Khan fight.

Tim will head butt Gary Shaw in court.

I love Tim as a fighter, but i don't know what he was thinking from a business standpoint. He passes on a major career defining fight,plus the biggest payday of his career, and now is getting sued. That's just plain dumb. I think his career as a top fighter is about over. He's in his prime and there's just too much inactivity.I don't think he could beat any of the top guys if he keeps this up.Its a shame. I really thought he would be a major player at jr ww and ww for a long time.

Is, "I was scared of getting beat" an acceptable defence?

Great news, that's what he gets for being a duck and ******* to his promoter. Hopefully he gets stripped of his belts and we don't hear anymore about him

[D4thincarnation]

I wonder if Arum promised him a shot at Pacquiao, because even for Timmy this was a ****** move.


He has lost so much credibility with boxing fans.

I hope Bradley's lawyers are better than the ones that looked at Donaire's contract and said he was good to sign with Goldenboy.

i dont like bradley in the slightest, but if his contract has expired then he doesnt owe shaw fcuk all. i thought this was the whole point in him not fighting khan?

He had one more fight with Shaw I think, the Khan fight. Khan offered Bradley good money but for some reason Bradley didn't want it.

I think Bradley signed a contract with Shaw to promote him a specific amount of fights, and they had one left. That or a specific amount of time, and the contract is set to expire. I guess Shaw saw the biggest money with Khan, but for some reason Bradley didn't want to make it, so I'm assuming Shaw thinks Bradley is trying to screw him over by not taking the biggest fight he can get in his division. If I was Shaw I'd be pissed too
