Sometimes I wish people didn't create the word god its misused daily, even to the extent of claiming he created language.

Sweep steaks?

Is that like a restaurant?

The Casa fight was part of the deal, Arum wanted him on his card to build the fight. The Casa fight was part of the Pacquiao deal.

Bradley signed to fight a more dangerous opponent, that's a fact, period end of.

Is this really that hard to understand???

[The Future]

Yes the judges knew what they were doing. They scored the fight on boxing and ignored the cheers for missed punches.

I know hey! Surely they saw everything Bradley hit Manny with...........oh wait

Was he guranteed the Pacquaio fight with the Casamayor fight? I'm not sure he was.

According to Bradley, he said that he didn't know he was getting the Pacquaio fight until he "got the call".

Around the time the Khan fight was going to be made, when Bradley callled him out on national Television for July of 2011, he certainly didn't fight Pacquaio instead.

He didn't sign with Bob Arum to fight Joel Cassamayor... that was the plan the entire time, which is why his next fight was in fact Pacquiao.

I'm sure Pacquaio was on his radar and a fight he dearly desired but it wasn't guaranteed when he signed with Top Rank. Bob Arum didn't sign a deal with Bradley that said or guaranteed or even implied that he would fight Casamayor followed by Pacquaio. Bradley said himself that he was shocked he got the fight when he got the call from whoever.

Top Rank were open about Miguel Cotto being their first choice for the June 9 card and not Bradley.

IronDan:

I think that is Tim sticking with the company line. Almost everyone thought Tim was getting a manny fight, especially when he was paid over $1 mil to fight Casa on Manny's undercard.

I don't care what Bob Arum said

Bradley signs with Top Rank > Fights on the undercard of Pacquiao-Marquez Immediately, and fights Pacquiao next.

I don't care what dis-info is put out there... the way it went down tells you the communication that took place behind closed doors.

When a fighter says himself that he didn't fight someone in case they lost its an irrefutable duck nothing you says changes that.

Context dude. If a loss prevents you from making a $5 mil payday, well then don't fight. You need to stop thinking of pro boxing as a game or sport and think of it as the boxers job.

Tim not fighting Khan is like an NBA/NFL player not riding a motorcycle. You don't take unneccessary risks that could prevent you from doing your job and risks your earning potential.
