Why did Bradley turn down Pacquiao's 6 mill offer?

[goofy_]

I understand why Marquez turned down Pacquiao but I don't understand why Bradley did...

Pacquiao apprently offered Bradley a 6 million dollar pay day and Bradley's WBO welterweight title won't be on the line. So even if Pacquiao wins Bradley would still keep the belt.

He gave Bradley a win win situation and he turned it down. He would make more money fighting Pac, a chance to prove himself that he can beat Pacquiao, and even if he loses which was the correct result on the first fight anyway because he isn't better than Pacquiao, he would still keep the WBO belt.

So why did he turn it down? What does Marquez have to offer him compared to Manny? What do you guys think is Bradley's reasoning for turning down Pac?

Discuss.

JMM offered him a fight..

Leverage.

Bradley beats Marquez he has more leverage in negotiations and make more money.

Bradley-Pacquiao would sell better if Bradley beats Marquez, in which he has really good chance of doing it.

It's not about the money for some fighters

[goofy_]

He wanted to avenge his "win" so badly now he doesn't want it anymore? I mean Marquez is a great fighter but isn't Manny still the guy to beat for Bradley?

Maybe I'm wrong maybe JMM is the guy to beat now and he offerers Bradley uhh... I have no idea... Not more money, not more fame, not more anything... Except for respect in the boxing community if he wins? But Pac would offer that too... Is it possible that people will be more impressed if Bradley beat JMM than Manny?

I dont see Bradley beating JMM. I do find it weird that Bradley would turn down so much money for a rematch that he originally wanted. JMM also turned down $13mil for a 5th fight against Pac.

That's how boxing works. You fight winners, you get more respect. You fight losers, you don't. Look at the meltdown over PAC v Rios, which is a good fight, for both, just not PPV worthy.

Pacquaio got robbed. You can argue that that Bradley has to redeem himself.

[whirlwind]

Some boxers they seem sometimes made a bad decision and fans question the logic behind their action. Just for example, Marquez was offered $350,000 (I forgot the exact amount) in Pac vs Marquez 2 but turned it down and went to Indonesia just to beat his ass there for $25,000. After that he cried to everyone, in tv shows and interviews that he was robbed against Pac then begging for a rematch.

Whoever loses in this fight (Bradley vs Marquez) Im sure he will do the same act just to get the Pac rematch.
