    Bradley wasn't happy with his promotion is a fact. Khan would have been his biggest payday to that date last year is a fact. Bradley would have fought khan early last year & is only 2 months removed from fighting Pacman. So I still don't see how you're trying to compare Pacman/Khan considering the fights being more than a year apart. Seems like you're trying to assume that if he fought Khan he wouldn't have fought Pacman.

    Which only makes sense because you're using the date excuse. "Because he didn't want to fight on Khan's date". Is that close to what you said? Sounds like more excuses to me. A duck & a gamble that payed off, is still a duck.

      Or the decisions others make, their respective tales serve to show the influence of robberies in boxing.

      Khan gets robbed v Peterson, ends up fighting Garcia and losing.
      Pacquiao gets robbed v Bradley, TB ends up 147 champ in a wheelchair.

        Bradley made an investment and it paid off. Get paid 1million and slug it out with Khan or get paid 5 mill and fight an all time great. What would any of us do?
        Bradley and Arum knew what was going to happen.

          It's funny you're naive enough to have already managed to be able to say who gets the last laugh when both fighters are nowhere near the end of their careers.

          And i love how you capslocked ''BIG PAYDAY''. Wether he gets one or two more BIG PAYDAYS one things for sure, Khan has already made more money in his career than Bradley will ever make, so im sure Bradleys BIG PAYDAY wont be causing Khan any loss of sleep.

          Say Bradley get's his ass whooped by Pacquiao for the second time in the rematch and Khan wins a couple of fights, Boxings infamously fickle set of fans will soon be clamouring again for the Bradley - Khan fight, so i'd think twice before you prophetically claim who is getting the last laugh.

            Bradley did the right thing he got $1 million for his first top rank fight, got a win over Manny on his secord fight, and now waiting for Pacman, Cotto or Marquez fight

              You ask me if I know what a fact is..I gave um too you,yet you don't acknowledged them..Bradley had promotional issues..It's well documented that this was going on before the Alexander fight(and almost made the Alexander fight fall through)..Who knows what would have happened if Bradley fought Khan and not took the TR deal...Maybe he could have fought Pac maybe not...The point is if your looking at both deals,TR was a better deal..He was signed to more then one fight which right off the back is a better deal then the one Khan was offering..

              I know it's hard for you to see the business side of things..But this was nothing more then a business decision,not a duck...It was not really a Gamble either..If you really believe Pac was not on the table when discussing a deal with TR then your crazy...TR offered a multi fight deal(funny enough this was the same reason for Khan fighting Mccloskey)which was a better deal then any Khan could have offered at that moment in time...

                For this situation Bradley has gotten the last laugh..There is no denying this..Bradley has a win over one of the best fighters in this sport,Khan has lost to two fighters he was supposed to be far better then(according to the fans and experts)..Khan is at a point of uncertainty,while it's clear that Bradley is one of the top fighters in the sport...

                If Khan wins a few more fights,weather Bradley takes a loss or not I expect to hear people wanting these two to fight..They are rivals and many still want to see this fight...

                  what a twerp.

                  Bradley could have made the Khan fight happen, won the Lineal title and unified 140lbs, and THEN fought Pac, but instead he fought Casa
                  Damn, took the words right out of my mouth. I was just about to post the same. Bradley's gift decision didnt work out very well for him or Arum cause nobody wanted to watch that bum fight again and get a payday he didnt deserve. Looks like if he's not headbutting he cant win.

                    He did get a good deal from tr. No one said he didn't. Still doesn't change that he ducked Khan. He waited for his deal with Shaw to expire instead of fighting Khan, ='s a duck, period.

                      Seems like it work out just fine for him(Bradley)tbh..He has gotten far more exposure and had all kinds of stars knowing his name...Weather you believe he won or not really does not matter..Fact is he did win the fight,and he did get major exposure..Win win imo...
