    If he fought Khan and won then his value and reputation would increase dramatically, he would be known to a much wider audience and would be compensated accordingly with a much bigger purse. The argument that he is making a smart business move just doesnt add up or adds up to him being pretty dim.
    Sorry bro but you have no clue what his deal would be and neither do I..But if I had a chance to fight Khan or Pac,I would go for Pac hands down..As far as his move right now,once again we don't know what's going on..Bradley wants to get away from Shaw for starters(which I can't blame him for doing)so until we see his next move we really can't say if it was dumb or not...

      Bradley wants Pacquiao/Mayweather, Khan wants Mayweather.

      There have been talks about Pacquiao-Bradley, there have been talks about Khan-Mayweather.

      Arum said it's a possibility, Schafer said it's a possibility.

      Due to the Alexander fight. Bradley has a guarantee of a million+ purse on his next HBO fight. Khan due to his contract with GBP. Has a minimum of a million dollars.

      I hear how some are saying that Bradley is making the smart business move. How he's doing the right thing for himself and family. Then WTH is Khan doing? A ****** business for wanting this fight? He even offered 50/50 across the board...Why? Is it because he's doing what we asked/demand all fighters to do and that is dare to be great?

      Khan has just as much to lose and gain as Bradley does. Yet he's willing to prove who the best 140lber is. While the other guy seems not so eager to prove such claim. And, I'm a Bradley fan. But, anybody who's not liking the criticism that Bradley is getting. This is why he deserves every single criticism and maybe even more. Because, Khan is on the same boat as Bradley, has as much to lose as Bradley. Yet wants the fight much more than Bradley does.
      No, Bradley has ****** people around him that are fooling him and making him believe he's a bigger star than he really is.

      He is being given opportunities that he is passing on, and he is in no position to do so.

      I very clearly see "Bradley" going down the same road as "Winky Wright"

        But there IS a clue, in fact there are several massive clues.

        - He has almost no charisma.

        - He isnt know to anyone really except those with a real interest in boxing.

        - He needs this fight or he has nowhere to go except back to Khan cap in hand.

        - He has a pretty ugly style of fighting.

        There are probably other clues too. I know you are a massive fan and probably feels he deserves squillions every time he fights, but boxing is a ruthless business and the thought of a Bob Arum giving away a cent he didnt have to is ridiculous.

          Bradley went from the ultimate warrior who wanted everyone to sitting on the sidelines making fun of guys who actually get in the ring( Judah) hilarious.

                He just wants to fight the best and prove that he's the champ.

                      Khan doesnt need Bradley at all from a business point of view.

                      Its simply a case of one guy knowing he'll win and the other knowing he'll lose.
