Should Bradley have to fight Khan before getting a Pacquiao/Floyd fight?

I think so, casual fans don't even know who the hell Bradley is and he won't sell crap unless he builds his name up against a good opponent like Khan.

Did people know who Clottey and Ortiz were?

Ortiz sells more then 2,000 tickets to a boxing event. Ortiz brings the mexicans with him. Bradley doesn't bring the blacks, whites, asians. He doesn't bring anyone along, and we all remember how horribly boring Pac/Clottey was. It wouldn't be any different with Pac/Bradley. Bradley would play it safe and lose a decision.

The real question is why do real fans care what sells and what doesn't? That is the promoters job, not ours. He's been fighting the toughest fights in his division for awhile now and deserves a payday as much as anybody. If he gets it than good for him. But no way he should be hated on because some people feel they have some kind of connection to what a fighter does or does not do in PPV numbers.

Bradley will retire after Khan beats him from pillar to post.

Pac/Floyd are going to get 0 credit after schooling Bradley. I think Bradley would last to a decision but lose every single round. I would change my mind if he actually had the balls to get in the ring against Khan first.

He doesn't even believe in himself. And stop saying its a smart business move, no its a duck move thats what it is. Real boxers fight the best in their division before moving up. When people say its a smart business move it sounds like you're favoring Khan over Bradley.

Bradley and Khan should settle once and for all who is the Real and only Champ in Jr Welterweight Division before going up the next Weight Division.

Who's being favored is irrelevant. He's been cleaning out his division the last few years and deserves it as much as anybody. You said real fighters fight the best, he's been doing that all along. After Khan there will be someone else to step in as the next threat. Should he have to fight them to before getting his chance at the big bucks? If you say yes you're being unreasonable. If you say no than you're applying a double standard saying he needs to fight Khan first.
