    There was never a Bradley fight available. Or he would've taken it.
    You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

        A few days ago, we discussed the potential for an August 6 fight between Robert Guerrero and Marcos Maidana, and I mentioned my feeling that Maidana might not be easy to pin down for the fight, since he's very selective about his opponents and his fight dates in many ways, specifically noting the strange turn of events last year that saw Maidana scheduled for two dates with Timothy Bradley, only to pull out of both.

        Maidana's adviser Sebastián Contursi disagreed with my stance, and felt it necessary to clear the air.

        "Maidana never ducked anybody," said Contursi. "He was offered $190,000 US by his former manager Mario Margossian to face Bradley last year with only six weeks to train, and that's exactly why he didn't take the fight. I repeat, Maidana never accepted the fight. His former manager did on Maidana's behalf.

        "In fact, after that Maidana hired lawyers and terminated his contract with his former manager after finding many anomalies that are now under investigation. When he realized that Maidana was not going to take the fight, this former manager lied to Golden Boy Promotions by citing that Maidana had a back injury."

        As for future fights, rematches with Amir Khan and Erik Morales are high on Maidana's wish list, and Khan has a deadline to accept a mandatory rematch with Maidana, who holds the interim WBA title at 140 pounds.

        "All parties involved were notified by the WBA last week that the deadline for Khan to meet his obligation is September 11," said Contursi.

        As for Morales, that rematch was discussed for a July 30 pay-per-view. That entire show is now off the schedule. Maidana was previously reported to be asking for "too much money," but Contursi says that's not the case.

        "Maidana is absolutely willing to give Morales a rematch, of course under fair terms. For that rematch, we requested a certain amount, which was absolutely logical. In fact, the same amount of money that Morales himself was asking for. In the end, Golden Boy Promotions said they didn't have the money to pay the fighters."
        what happened after that with bradley under his new manager Sebastian Contursi who knows what happened or was put on the table, but you can't say it was a duck without any proof from both sides.

          That's called savvy.
          Well he fought Corley instead actually. And at the time, Bradley was considered the top guy in the division. Khan was a bigger payday and suited him more stylistically.

              Yes Bradley signed to fight Maidana. The fight was set in June, then Maidana postponed the fight one month till' July. And, then pulled out all together and fought a shot to pieces Corley a month later.

              How is this not a duck?

                Thank you.

                Maidana never ducked Bradley. It was a managerial dispute. Instead he fought Khan for almost 3 times the money.

                Maidana wins. You all lose.

                  Where's the contract. Why didn't they sue Maidana for breaching the contract.

                  There was never any fight pendejo. No mames wey.

                    Well actually he lost.

                    Now hes doing the same thing. He wont fight anyone else at 140. Hes just desperate for another Khan payday.

                    He cherry picked Morales thinkin it would be easy work.

                      Lets not ignore the fact that he faked an injury to get out of the fight. He faked it.

                      And, then fought a shot to pieces Corley like a month later.

                      GTFOH.
                      And struggled against him. And the Morales fight proved that it wasn't a fluke either.

                      Maidana struggles against shot to **** smaller men.

                      How can anybody respect that?
