    He would have made in excess of $2m to fight Khan but in Bradley's own words, "I can fight anybody on HBO for $1.2m, can you give a brother a break?". He thought it was better to fight a hasbeen in Casamayor for 1.2m rather than risk losing to Khan and never getting a Pacquiao fight.

    Oh and @ Bradley being a "payday" for anyone.

      Bradley is getting ready to headline his second PPV event against Marquez. What has Khan got going for him right now and when is he finally getting on PPV?

        Khan started on PPV in 2008 and was actually the A-side, not just the opponent. But I didn't know being on PPV or not was how you decide who's the better fighter. I guess actually fighting each other is not as important. Marquez rejected a fight with Khan too.

          I fully respect Bradley, it's not his fault he got a gift decision against Pac. He showed show major heart againt Prod and is now taking on one of the best fighters in the game Juan Manuel. He's eager to prove himself and he's not a total ******* so I have nothing but respect.

            He earned respect way back, with Holt at least or Witter. Doesn't mean he beat Pac, and isn't the most exciting guy when winning, like another poster said. He's gotten better with headclashes in the last couple of fights, so some credit for that. That last fight was very surprising, he never looked as shaky even off the huge Holt KD. Incredible effort though, I might pull for him against memory preserver Marquez

                What I don't understand is, why is he so salty? If Bradley would have fought Khan he would have destroyed him, even dirk knows that. What does he gain by the fight being made? Just would be another win under Tims belt.

                  Better to have the what if scenario than the loss.
