    Honestly he took a bigger challenge in fighting manny for double the cash.. I think he was offered around 2 mil for kahn and got 4 plus mil for manny...
    Would you turn down 4 mil to make 2 mil...
    I would take the 2milion and beat Khan rather than 1.2million for Casamayor. Then i'd chase a Pacquaio or Mayweather fight as the undisputed junior welterweight champion and make even more.

    Because if I was a pro boxer at world championship level, I'd like to think I would have confidence in beating a so called glass chinned bum like Khan. Seems like a minor obstacle but not for Bradley. Dude was shook. "What if I lose?"

      And it's ***ing hilarious that you are one of the main protagonists in the "Garcia is ducking Matthyse" crusade
      My bad, I forgot Shaw would do a special one time deal where he'd let Bradley fight once then let him go.
      Yea, Arum would totally make a fight with GBP... they do it all the time.

        It was a contract extension not a new contract. And Bradley had the chance to sign with GBP - reason why he didn't?

        "They wanted me to fight Khan first"

        Dude had nightmares about being in the ring with Amir.

          WHat, I'm agreeing with you.
          Khan>Pac

          Khan would have gave Bradley a payday 1000000000 times more than Pac
          And I already agreed that Gary Shaw would make a special one time only extension and let Bradley go with no problems because there are never any promotional troubles like that.
          Only reason Bradley would go to TR would be a Pacquiao fight and good money, but he got neither and now he's sitting on a shelf doing nothing and losing every fight

              But here is the thing,, if he fights khan he never gets the manny fight..

              So its like take casamoyer for 1.2 mil and manny for 4 mil for a total of 5.2 mil
              Or fight khan for 1.8 mil

              I would favor bradley over khan but its not a given,,, Khan was looking fantastic till the garcia fight...
              Why risk 5.2 million for 1.8.... Makes no sense.....

              Arum aint giving him a manny fight unless he was top rank fighter...

                Why not? Bob Arum mentioned him as an opponent for Pacquaio long before that. He would have been even more keen to sign him if he beat Khan who was one of GBP's golden eggs.

                The Bradley-Pacquaio fight would have been even bigger, generated more interest. When it actually happened, it was just Pacquaio vs some black guy.

                Bradley wasn't 100% sure in his ability to beat Khan so he didn't want to risk it. He said so himself. I don't know why his fans ignore his own words.

                    Bradley would beat khan down bad in a fight! Lets see if khan can get a title from Alexander.

                      His fight with Provo earned my respect.
                      I don't like runners. He didn't run in that fight.
                      It was entertaining. Don't know if he will do that again.
