Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Reflects Back, Explains Amir Khan Meltdown

[Dirk Diggler UK]

No need to use hindsight. He's fighting Manny Pacquiao in two weeks. That's present and factual. You don't know what he had knowledge of or what he was told. That's also fact. But then again, you're all over the place. He signed because he wanted to fight a long string of bums. Well then...why didn't he? Why didn't he turn down the Pac fight and keep fighting bums?

I said he wanted to fight bums until he got the Pac fight. He wanted to do nothing to risk the payday. How do you not understand that? Fighting Khans at GBP would've risked a potential future payday. Whereas fighting Casamayors at TR would not. Not hard to understand.

Ahh yes, willing to take on a bigger risk as long as its more lucrative. Sounds exactly like what Bradley said.

and what's wrong with that, Dirk? Especially considering he was getting paid a lot for Casamayor. Is it really worth fighting Khan for an extra million dollars and if you lose you lose out on 5 million? Or is fighting for a million and then getting 5 million smarter and then still getting the Khan fight after a better option? IMO, Bradley did the right thing.

Isn't this what JMM is doing right now?

Whats wrong with it? Its ducking. No matter how you slice it. I didnt say ducking wasn't clever sometimes, especially when you have no confidence in yourself like Bradley. Its smart to take the easy route in that sense.

No route that ends up with you fighting Manny Pacquiao is easy. At all.

What you call ducking, I call smart business. It certainly can't be considered a duck when Bradley has every intention of fighting Khan. As far as confidence, I guess it goes hand in hand with the smart business move he made to not fight Khan right now. Bradley is plenty confident but he's no fool either. You'd have to be an idiot to think Khan poses no threat.

I honestly don't understand what the big deal is unless you feel that they won't fight. Bradley made a smart choice and now has a big payday. After this fight he has every intention in the world of fighting Khan. Why hate on someone trying to get their name out there? If Bradley beats Pacquaio or puts on a good showing it will help the fight.

bradley v khan v pacman v mayweather

i understand the buisness decision behind taking the pacman fight, it will be a biggest payday by far and win or lose his stock will rise and also gets a chance at fighting floyd..but at the time of ducking khan, bradley had no clue he was gonna be fighting pacman and knew he had to avoid khan to preserve his undefeated record...i dont buy the crap he is trying to say now, he ducked khan big time and he knows why he did it....khan beats bradley very easily

I think we have to remember this IS prize fighting. These guys are looking to make money and it's not just about buying a car and a watch with diamonds. Not everyone is DLH poster box, Mayweather skills and business villain, Pacman inspiration of a country or a celebrated Olympian guaranteed big money.

They have to approach this from a business standpoint to make as much money as they possibly can. We all know that a 1 million dollar purse isn't the end all. That money is taxed and divided up. So these guys keep fighting and making decisions that may lead to more money so they can provide for their family future, invest, save and make sure they and their family are WELL taken care of. Even a single 5 million dollar purse will run out when you think about it from a family future perspective.

That's all fine and dandy so long as after Pacquiao sparks him out, he doesn't come groveling to Kahn for a payday and when refused, go on a media blitz as to how Kahn is ducking.

I don't even like Kahn, but Timmy is something else

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.

So he ducked Khan to fight a more dangerous foe in Pac??Because that's who he wanted,and that's who he is fighting..Fucck hindsight bro,anyone with two eyes seen where this was going,and that was straight to the bank,with a chance to beat a p4p beast...Bradley did good business,not a duck deal with the reality of the situation...
