    Did you want Bradley VS Cassamayor or Bradley VS Khan?

    Personally, I am sick of fighters avoiding risky fights to get to the big one. JMM is doing it now demanding a tune up lefty. Bradley avoided Khan and faced Cassamayor to get to Pac, but Khan's mentality, 50/50, we fight each other. Khan wanted Bradley to get to Mayweather. He even told Bradley to grow some balls. Whether or not Khan would have lost or won, he wanted to face the top guy badly while Bradley was doing 'What if I lose' interviews.

    I don't care who you are, if you preferred Cassa and Bradley over Khan VS Bradley then you are what fuels bad fights for boxing.

      It wasn't a good fight at all.

      Now get back on topic, this isn't about Pac.

          It wasn't that simple. The Casa fight was a gift from TR to set up a Bradley v Manny fight. Bradley wasn't avoiding Khan, he took a more lucrative option. Nothing wrong with that.

          The problem is fans like you who don't understand about business. You act as if historically boxers were traveling warriors that fought any and all comers. No, they fought frequently because thats the only way they got paid. And they didn't get paid much.

          Tim Bradley did what every young fighter does at one point or another, he makes a business decision. Fightinh Khan may have been the "better" fight, but then he doesn't get a Manny fight necessarily, especially if he loses.

          Tim has a family to support. The path he chose provides him more resources to do that. Any "fan" that criticizes that because they feel they got robbed of seeing a Khan/ bradley fight, when that fight could still happen, needs to relaz.

            Just seeing where your head was. But seriously it's obvious that Bradley ducked Khan. (Which is ****** cause Bradley beats the brakes off of him).

              He had to fight an in house fight after signing with TR. He also got paid nearly as much as he would of versus Khan.

              These threads are pathetic, for real. Bradley had a chance to fight the most popular fighter in the world and you're b1tching. If Bradley had no intentions of fighting Khan, then I'd see your beef but that isn't the case.

              I don't know what's wrong with you British/Khan supporters but get your heads out of your asses. Bradley wants to beat Khans ass he just had to secure a better fight, in case if he were to lose to Khan. Anyone would do that, it's called being smart.

                Okay, you tell me what's smarter. If Bradley went down the Khan route he would of made what 2 million or 2.5 million dollars. It's a good payday but it's a tough fight and if he losses, then what? Then he goes back to fighting for very small purses. What if he wins? It's a great win but does it boost him that much?

                Or you fight Casa for over a million dollars, secure the Manny fight for 5 million, and then win or lose you still are banking big with Khan. Not to mention if he did somehow beat Manny his name would be huge in the sport.

                Which option would you go with?

                  I don't have a problem with what he did, so your post is pointless. I'd have done the same. Doesn't change the fact that he did avoid Khan though. I'm more a Bradley fan than a Khan fan, but I don't support blatant ducking.

                  Good business choice, still a duck.

                    Bush when you call it a duck you sound ridiculous. Respectfully. The focus isn't the opponent its the money. Thats why PROFESSIONALS fight, to get paid. Its their job.

                    BRADLEY WAS FIGHTING kHAN BECAUSE THAT WAS THE BIGGEST PAYDAY HE COULD GET AT THE TIME. Soon as Floyd, Manny, Cotto or Canelo comes along, well Khan isn't the biggest payday anymore so Tim walks.
