I'm not going to get into this with you again. He could have fought both. Anyone would fight Pacquiao unless they are Mayweather. I don't give Bradley any extra credit for fighting Pacquiao.
It's obvious from Bradley's own words and demeanour that he considered Khan a huge threat and a bad style for him. Plus losing to Khan would have basically ended his career in terms of being able to earn huge money. He knew that and Bradley fans are just too afraid to admit it.
I see,he could have signed with Shaw and with TR at the same time..

Please stop being a complete moron please..
Khan would have been his last fight with Shaw. Khan offered him the fight after he left Shaw as well.
I notice you ducked the other part of the post. Bradley simply didn't want to fight Khan full stop and you know it. He saw Khan as a difficult style for him. Even though Khan would have made him in excess of 2m, he knew that a loss would mean that he'd never ever make more than that in his career.

Every fight(outside of the casamayor fight I'll give you that)that Bradley took was dangerous throughout his career..Most times he was not the favorite..No Khan was not his last fight under Shaw..Bradley contract with Shaw ended in June..The fight would have happen in July..Meaning Bradley would have to sign an extension..Why on earth would Bradley resign with a promoter who does not even have his best interest at heart??
See had Khan not fought Mccloskey(to set up his own safety net)and fought Bradley in June..Like he said he would I might add..Then,that would have been Bradley's final fight with Shaw..As it stands tho..Bradley made a business choice to sign with TR to get a shot at Pac..Casamayor was money left on the table..Nothing more nothing less..
I personally think both were to blame for this fight not happening..I also believe anyone faced with the same decision that Bradley was faced with,would have done the same thing..Which was take the payday..

Shaw turned Tim Bradley into an ESPN fighter with no power, no real skill and no personality into a 2 or 3 time world champion. Got him in two unification fights and was setting up a third. Didn't have his best interests at heart? LOL.....
He would have been free to leave Shaw after he fought Khan. The truth is as soon as he heard Pacquaio as a possibility he thought "What's the easiest way I can get to that fight?". That meant not fighting Khan because he knew there was a big chance he'd lose. Bradley wasn't going to fight him in June, July or any time.

Bradley winning had nothing to do with him landing fights I guess..It was all Shaw, he really took those punches not Bradley..
Bradley could have walk away from Shaw, the same way he walk away after the Alexander fight right..It was well documented they had issues and Bradley wanted to leave Shaw before any negotiations with Khan ever took place..Shaw did not have Bradley best interest at heart because it would have been better if Tim lost from Shaw point of view..
When the possibility of fighting PAC came about,I don't believe Tim had any intentions of fighting Khan..Cause I'm sure he understood he would have to sign with TR to get it..There is no way he could have fought both Khan and PAC..Like I said he had to make a choice, which in reality was no choice at all..PAC money and better promotion over anything Khan could have offered..

It's the promoters job to get the fights though and you can't say that Shaw didn't get him good fights.
Bradley didn't have any intentions of fighting Khan because he thought he might lose. You keep prattling on about the McCloskey fight as if it stopped Khan-Bradley happening when it didn't. Bradley wanted to fight bums until he got the Pac fight. In the words of Bradley - "I can fight anyone on HBO for $1.2m. Can a brother get a break?"
Bradley is a bit like Mayweather in that his own words make his fans look like ******s.

Shaw didnt do **** man. Bradley is a bigger name than Khan get over it. Bradley fights for bigger purses and has and always will be ranked higher than Khan in any world boxing ranking. Rome hit you with facts now you just resorting to talking dumb **** about Bradley. Stick to calling Kell Brook a coward for ducking Alexander and when Alexander embarrasses Khan watch your *** disappear from the board.

It's quite sad that Alexander the Quitter is willing to face Khan with a Mayweather payday on the line. Whereas Bradley wasn't willing to.
