Comments Thread For: Bradley's Big Gamble Pays Off With Securing Pacquiao Tilt

[DLT]

Sorry but Bradley could have had the the Pac fight, the Casamayor fight AND had the Khan fight which would have been around $1.5 million dollars.

Plus he could have avoided sitting, hurting his rep, and the money he spent on his legal battle with his promoter.

I just can't be convinced not fighting Khan was anything but I terrible business move.

He can fight can next for way more than 1.5mil if he wins against Pac. His name will be so much bigger. If he loses in just a solid or respectable way, he can still fight Khan next for atleast 1.5 and probably more than that because of how big his name is. If he gets brutalized than he wont. I personaly think he will get destroyed but he still willl be getting destroyed for 5mil which is way more than a Khan fight that he couldve lost

So what's this gonna be, a championship bout at the welterweight division, with many asking for a catch weight of 143.1/2 & Bradley can't come in bald ?
Anything else ur highness

Not a single fighter in the sport in Bradley's position would have fought Khan while shopping for a new promoter at the same time. It would be a huge career risk no matter how confident Bradley might have been that he could win. Plus he would be an unpromoted B-side fighter against a groomed Golden Boy star.

He had a promoter. He could have stuck with him for one more fight, finished his contract, and not have had to love the $1.5 million and spend the legal fees.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why he didn't take the Khan fight.

But you can't say he made a good money move unless you consider that he had a good chance to lose to Khan.

Funny thing is I would have had Bradley as the favorite.

I think he's done very well for his career considering his style. I'm not trying to hate on him. I just hate how people say he ended p making more money when it's not true. As long as he would have kept winning he would have made what he has plus the $1.5 mil from Khan. No matter what that's money lost he can't get back.

But like I said, he's doing well for himself overall in life.

I always thought that Bradley wasn't promoted as well as he should've been with Shaw so kudos to Top Rank for giving him this opportunity to show whether he belongs with the pound for pound elite.

People are not quite getting what I am trying to say.

That time he had to fight Khan for $1.5 mil he fought nobody. That time is gone which means he can't make it up. So even if he fights Khan next, and it will not be for $1.5 mil this time, he can't make it up because that was a section of time he could have had a fight and instead didn't.

So yes, he is making very good money his next fight. Way more than $1.5 most likely.

BUT, that doesn't take away from the fact he left that $1.5 mil on the table.

he would have made minimum of $2 million fighting Khan I really want to see the amount he is making vs Pac I doubt its significantly more

[Phil Ivey]

Big gamble? Yeah 1 win against a shot Casamayor then a shot against Pacquiao is hardly a gamble. A big gamble of been unifying the 140 division followed by a top 5 147er then proceed to Pac.
