Bradley has no promoter, he's involved in a lawsuit and he has no TV date," Schaefer said. "He overplayed his cards. If he's not available in December, we're moving on. No one can ever say Amir Khan did not give Bradley a chance."

Although Bradley told The Times on Saturday that he still envisioned a date against Khan in 2012, Schaefer said he believed Bradley was angling for a $5-million purse against Pacquiao next year should the problematic Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks fail again.


You have no clue what Bradley was offered. What we do know is that Richard Schafer, Amir Khan's promoter, believed Bradley was turning down the fight because he was seeking to get a Pacquiao bout instead. What a coincidence that it didn't exist, yet he got it.

Of course he was seeking a Pacquiao bout. DUUUUH. He wanted to sign with TR because he knew Arum would have him fight a line of bums before he got to Pacquaio (if he ever did). Whereas GBP were actually gonna have him fight tough fights like Khan first. DUH.

Bradley said he didn't sign with GBP because they wanted him to fight Khan. He wanted to hop to the big payday whilst taking NO RISK whatsoever. The path of least resistance. Well done spazzo, you just proved my point.

Actually top rank wanted pac vs bradley thats y bradley was featured against casamayor on the pac-jmm undercard. Pac in the end stepped up and agreed to the challenge. This fight would have happened eventually it just came about one fight earlier than anticipated

It was clear as day that's why Arum was looking to sign him. He kept talking about Bradley even while he was under contract with Shaw. And in the end, made him an offer he couldn't refuse and then delivered.

Thought Floyd & Cotto were ahead of Bradley on that "list"? Hell even JMM IV was before a Bradley fight. So what Dirk is saying is actually quite true.

Your reality. The world's reality? He's fighting Pacquiao in two weeks after being featured on Pacquiao's undercard.

Yeh and Bradley could just have easily been fighting another bum right now. But I guess that would be cool because he was "eventually" going to fight Pacquiao?

The only reason he is fighting pac is because cotto got off, bradley wassnt even first choice for pacquiao, he only got with top rank to avoid khan.

Hmm and this means what exactly? LOL@ using hindsight yet again to excuse ducking. Bradley could just as easily be fighting another bum in two weeks and he'd get another pass from you....and we all know why.

Except, he's not. He's fighting Manny Pacquiao. And what is he getting from you? "Well, he could've been fighting a bum." Yeah...he could've.

Who really cares if the guy's fighting Pacquiao next?

Does that excuse the fact that he ducked Khan? Of course not. It does't matter if he thought he was going to get a shot at Pac. He claimed to be the best at 140 but ducked his only viable candidate after stating that they should fight.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and yes he's done well to get the fight with Pac. But once again, that doesn't deter from the fact he ducked Khan.
