Bush I can respect ya view,but honestly I have to agree with Dunn..This post sounds a bit foolish bro..Football and Boxing are to different sports without the same rules,it's not comparable...We all want are money's worth,but at the same time so do fighters..That's why they fight,there is noway around that fact homie..
Did you want Bradley VS Cassamayor or Bradley VS Khan?

So I guess Mayweather is ducking Mundine.... I KNEW IT!Comment

Oh so now unless a boxer physically says the words out of his mouth, it is not an arrangement for that boxer? ****in' promoters always do the arrangements for their fighters. Bradley wanted Khan and said it.Comment

End of the day Khan could have just fought Bradley instead of Mccloskey,which the only reason he did that was to secure a new contract before fighting Bradley(aka safety net)..Like I said earlier on this subject,it's not black and white as many try to make it seem..There was shifty business going on that was not fair to Bradley either...I already mentioned that Khan should face Prescott. I alreayd said he ducked Prescott but also said get some wins and it's a fight he will think about.
End of the day, Bradley fought Cassamayor since Alexander. One fight since Jan 2011.
Bradley is fighting Pac which I already commended, that is not the issue, the issue is avoiding Khan. I like how Bradley fans digress and deflect the question and say Pac, business or whatever.Comment

Ive been watching boxing since 1979 so you can take that mega star crap outta here. Its people like you, who act as if SRL/Duran was about the "challenge" when it was about SRL and BOb delaying the Hearns fight to maximize its profitability.Listen I'm a fan. To me, it's proving you're the best, in the ring, against the best fighters. Bradley had a chance to be the undisputed jr welterweight champion. Lineal champion. Universally recognized champion. When was the last time that happened??
It's fans like you (mostly those that support mega stars,) settle for less & defend fighters & give them passes & accolades when they don't deserve them. I want my money's worth as a fan. Imagine if a football team could pick who they wanted to beat in the superbowl, then charge me 50 bucks a viewing??
I support boxers making as much money as possible. If it means some fights I as a fan want dont happen exactly when I want it so be it. Its more important to me that fighters not promoters get paid.
Your football analogy makes no sense. Boxing isn't a team sport. There is no season or schedule. Salaries are paid. Benefits are given.
I completely understand your frustration as a fan with the star driven system the networks have created to maximise profit.Comment

Was it not well documented that Bradley wanted to leave Shaw before the Alexander fight??
Of course Bradley wanted to fight Khan,he still wants to fight Khan right now..But Khan should have fought him instead of Mccloskey,he thought he dictated terms which he did'int..He put Bradley in a bad situation sign to fight Khan with an extension to Shaw,or not fight Khan and go to TR where you could fight Manny..This is an easy choice to make..Now if Khan makes the fight on Bradley's date(which he would not have done because he had no contract signed yet)the fight would have went off without any problems..Not really either of their faults in the long run,but both guy's are their own man..They will do what's best for their careers end of story...Last edited by Rome-By-Ko; 06-06-2012, 11:47 AM.Comment

Bradley went to the Mccklowskey fight and still said July 23rd. There were no problems from Bradley on that fight.Was it not well documented that Bradley wanted to leave Shaw before the Alexander fight??

How was Khan to know Bradley had issues?Comment

Like I said it was well documented Bradley had promotional issues,but either way it's not Khans business to worry about Bradley's issues...He is only worrying about his own career(as he should)..Bradley saying when his promoter told him when the fight was going to be,is not Bradley signing to fight him..It's funny to me that people love quoting the interview in which Bradley states what if I lose..But yet seem to not comprehend anything from that interview...
Khan was the best option for Bradley after the Alexander fight,but somewhere a long the lines that change...His manager told him not to commit to anything(meaning his manager had something lined up for him),not to mention it was well document that Dunkin did not like Shaw as well...This has everything to do with Business bro..Nobody wanted to see Bradley Casa,I mean nobody...But Bradley did not have a choice in the matter,he signed a better deal and that's who they gave him to fight..But make no mistake about it,Pac was always the reason for Timmy coming to TR...Last edited by Rome-By-Ko; 06-06-2012, 11:49 AM.Comment

you do know that this is their job right? i mean do u go to work every day and tell urself u want the hardest workload everytime u walk in? dude JMM deserves a few paydays before he retires hes done his duty.... bradly has a fight with pacman which will be his biggest pay day and he can go back and fight khan anytime even if he loses this fight... pretty smart if you ask me but i feel ur frustration.... its a business bro business ruines everything we love... look at musicPersonally, 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.Comment
