    He had a contract with Shaw...if he fought Khan he would have had to reup with Shaw. If he does that then he's stuck with Shaw and you can bet your ass there's no Pacquiao fight happening now.

    That or he's knee deep in litigation and inactive for a year.
    He didn't have to re-sign with Shaw. Shaw confirmed this several times.

    And he could've fought Khan in December. Whats the official excuse for that?

      I hate when fighters don't fight each other, for whatever reason or whoever is to blame...but ducking Khan for Pacman doesn't sound like ducking to me. How the whole situation went down between Khan and Brad looked like a b***h move but when u see what came of it, u have to think that it was worth it. Money wise, legacy wise, and exposure wise etc...Pac>>>>Khan!!!

        Yea, cause Shaw told the media he'd let him out of his contract you believe it? That's incredibly naive.

        Even if that wasn't an issue...I'm not delusional, Khan's a major threat. If I can get paid 1 mill for a tuneup in lieu of a Pacquiao fight as opposed to taking about the same money and potentially losing and missing out on the Pac fight...I'm gonna take option A. You call that being a poosay...I call it smart business.

        Agree to disagree.

          And you believe Tim "stop running Khan" Bradley? Thats incredibly niave.

          I call it both. Just because its "smart business" doesn't mean hes any less of a biitch for not having the balls to fight Khan first. And he wouldve made more money doing so.....so was it actually that smart? I guess if you know you cant win the Khan fight.

              Bradley ducked Khan. That much is undeniable.

              Do I blame him? Not really.

              Whatever anyone thinks, Khan is a legit threat to Bradley. And Bradley knows that. The possibility of losing to Khan would mess up a fight he obviously believed he could get with Pacquaio.

              Again, I don't blame him. I'd have done the same.

              But the fact is, he ducked him. He should have fought him. The timing was fine and it's the fight everyone wanted, and he turned it down.

                  No one acknowledges the Casamayor fight. I guess people just didn't watch it or fell asleep like I did and completely erased it from their memories.

                    But from Bradley's perspective...he got himself out of a deal with a small time promoter, dodged a legit threat in Khan, and hten signed with a promotional giant.

                    He then proceeded to get paid $1 million against the ghost of Casamayor followed by landing a freaking Pacquiao fight. Meanwhile Khan went to DC and lost to a guy Bradley shut out.

                    We, the fans may not have won....but my god, Bradley sure did. That whole saga literally couldn't have turned out better for him.


                    Okay...that made me laugh. No offense to Khan.

                      Bradley was considered a pu$$y for ducking Khan, a fight in which if he had won he would have become the lineal champ at 140. He will now gain the fianancial benefits of that duck by fighting Pacman but in the ring he will take a battering.
