Heavy D: 'Bradley to TOP RANK, Pac-JMM card'
• Disgruntled junior welterweight titlist Timothy Bradley
Jr.has been idle since his January win against Devon
Alexander, after which he turned down a unification fight
with Amir Khanfor 50-50 terms. He has been mired in a
legal dispute with co-promoters Gary Shawand Ken
Thompsonsince then. However, settlement talks between
the lawyers for the fighter and promoters have been hot and
heavy. If they reach an agreement -- which I expect, even
though multiple sources involved have told me they are still
quite a bit apart on the amount of money the promoters
would receive to walk away -- Bradley is headed for Top Rank.
Top Rank's plan is for Bradley to return Nov. 12 on the
Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel MarquezHBO PPV
undercard. Obviously, Top Rank would be prepping Bradley
for a possible shot at Pacquiao if a fight between Pacquiao
and Mayweather doesn't come off.
