Comments Thread For: Bradley: Forget Khan, I Want Pacquiao and Mayweather

[BesWorldChamp]

I've never felt that Tim Bradley was afraid of anyone. I know he isn't.

From a boxing fan's perspective, he has ducked Amir Khan. They could've went at it for 140 pound supremacy, but Tim chose not to. That is a duck, plain and simple.

From a family man's perspective, Tim made a decision that he felt was in the best interest of his loved ones. To me, it's probable that he gets one of them (Pac or May) in 2012. The 1.8 that he would've got for Khan pales in comparision to the 5 mininum that he would get against one of the two giants.

I think this one depends on your perspective.

1.25 mill for it..Can you really blame Bradley for trying to get paid??

and WHO IS PAYING? the fans are paying and he just showed them the middle finger. for all i care he can fight in a dark cellar for $10 to buy his bread.
all i'm saying this is not how you address the PAYING public. the money sdoesn't appear from the air and tim obviously doesn't get it. i wouldn't be surprised if pac says no to a ****head like this.

Come on,anybody is going to take a better money offer I don't care if it's boxing basketball football or just ya everyday job..So you saying you would not do the same thing is a bit unbelievable..Bradley will fight again this yr a tune up(he would have needed a tune up before fighting Khan as well)then on to try to get the fight with Pac,which is a bigger and more lucrative fight no matter how ya slice it..What's different from Floyd fighting Ortiz??Bradley is far more proven then Ortiz in the overall picture of it..So if I'm Bradley and I see a dude who quit in the ring against a b+ kinda fighter at best and he is getting a 5 mill dollar payday you don't think I'm gonna want to go that way as well??I'm not saying it's right but it's the state of boxing right now..You have Berto and Khan fighting guys like Mcfluury Paulie M Hernandez and getting 1.25 mill for it..Can you really blame Bradley for trying to get paid??

He hasn’t received a better money offer, he could potentially get a fight with Pac but it is of no guarantee. Guaranteed money is always better than money on a promise especially a promise that might never happen.

Beating Khan would make it more likely but losing to Khan would make it impossible.

Bradley knows this and made a decision based on that.

Mosley had the name and tbh Berto is not a draw either so Mosley would have been the A-side to that event..Mosley got beat by the top fighter in the sport not by a bum..55/45 would have been good or 60/40 which was their agreed upon pruse split before Berto pulled out the first time around..But once again he knew he could get 1.25 fighting a Hernandez so why risk losing to Mosley...

Why didn't Mosley take the fight? 50/50 is fair.

What offer????

And needing a tune-up before he fights Khan???? Why on earth???

If ya think Bradley has visions of Pac now out of nowhere then I don't know what to tell ya..He is clearly in line to fight Pac,because May is fighting Ortiz..I say he takes a tune up because there is money still on the table bro..1.2 remember...

Exactly.

And it would be a bitch move for Pac to give a fight to someone who most people think is ducking, so this may well backfire on him, and I sure hope it does.

Guess what, Khan losing to Bradley also takes him out of the sweepstakes, but you don't see Khan b!tching and moaning about it.

Bradley ran his mouth off like an obnoxious brat, and then proceeded to duck the fight and tell the fans he doesn't care what they think. Well *** bradley. At the very least, shut you ***ing mouth if youre such a puzzie.

How's he going to fight Pacman by fighting nobody's at 140.

Mosley just made 15 mill to fight Mayweather..I would not take less or equal money with not only a guy who pulled out of a fight with me(no matter the reason)and is not even close to me in rank or name recognition..

He talks about fighting Pac or Mayweather, and it's obvious that Mayweather won't fight him, so he's delusional about that anyway. As for Pac, Arum probably gave him some hints but that's not the same as an offer. And now that his credibility has gone down so badly, Arum may well decide that the public wouldn't be interested, unless Bradley beats Khan first.

And no way does Bradley need a tune-up before fighting Khan.
