For people that say Bradley ducked Khan for Pacquiao...
Collapse

That's untrue though isn't it, Bradley was never guaranteed a Pacquiao fight he wasn't even first choice when he got it. You're trying to rewrite history.i dont get it,, you guys seem to be bright,, i dont understand how you cant comprehend the situation,,,
khan vs bradley in 2011 was going to be a big fight, a real 50/50 type fight and everyone involved knew it would be a tough fight,,
the arum comes to tim and offers him a deal that includes making double his purse for a khan fight with a manny fight,, just sign the deal, we will give you a stay-busy fight vs casamoyer on a manny undercard, then you can fight manny,,,
Now if your bradley what would you do???? the smart move is to take arums offer,
Idiots would fight khan in a 50/50 fight for half the cash
now khan is doing the same thing
I dont see him trying to fight alexander or ghost, two options that have been discussed, because he is holding out for a floyd fight for double the money and a chance to make history vs floyd,,,
Its the exact same scenario,
and bradley made the right decision, he now has gotten 2 huge paydays with manny and jmm and now possible rematches for even more money,,
and khan is sitting on the sidelines after looking like crap for 4 fights now,,,
is khan ducking the other welters??? why is he so quiet,, why isnt he calling out alexander or ghost or garcia, or broner, or ortiz,,,,,,,,,Hmmmmm probably because he knows he can land a floyd fight and doesnt want to risk the career payday vs a threat that brings less than half the money,,,, is that a duckComment

Door 1
Prize - Nothing
You could get a chance to open door 2 with 2000 behind it.
Door 2
Prize - 1000
50/50 chance you could get a chance to open door 2 with 2000 behind it.
Which door would you choose? Bradley chose door 1.Comment

what are you talking about,,,, he was guaranteed the manny fight,, just like jmm was when he went to TR, and just like shane when he went to TR for the manny fight,, You gotta be with TR to fight manny,, that should be obvious by now, cotto, margs, clottey, jmm, rios, etc
he may not have been guaranteed that exact date and time, but during the course of the deal, he was guaranteed a manny fight,, why else would he have signed,,, to fight casamoyer and ruslan,,, C'mon man,,, it was a duck, it was a business move, just like how khan is doing now to get the floyd fight,,,
Its just business,,, Do you think khan is ducking the other welters and jr welters,,,, i dont,, i think he is making a smart business decision, just like bradley has doneComment

that doesnt even make any sense
door 1- khan for 2 mil
door 2- manny for 4+ mil and an easy bonus of 500k for casamoyer, jmm for 4 mil
That is what it was like
khan
door 1- alexander or broner or garcia for 1.5 mil
door 2- floyd for about 4 mil
exact same scenario but your fanboy mentality is getting the better of you my friendComment

Him signing with TR didn't guarantee him a fight, increased his chances. A Khan win would have increased his chances too and also gave him his biggest payday to date. Every duck in boxing history could be excused as a "business" move because losing is not good for business.what are you talking about,,,, he was guaranteed the manny fight,, just like jmm was when he went to TR, and just like shane when he went to TR for the manny fight,, You gotta be with TR to fight manny,, that should be obvious by now, cotto, margs, clottey, jmm, rios, etc

That's not how it is because door one can still lead to door 2, and there's no guarantee in both scenarios you'll get to the bigger prize.that doesnt even make any sense
door 1- khan for 2 mil
door 2- manny for 4+ mil and an easy bonus of 500k for casamoyer, jmm for 4 mil
That is what it was like
khan
door 1- alexander or broner or garcia for 1.5 mil
door 2- floyd for about 4 mil

no, a duck is sturm ducking ggg forever, prince naseem ducking jmm for years, bowe ducking lewis,,, those are ducks,,,,That's not how it is because door one can still lead to door 2, and there's no guarantee in both scenarios you'll get to the bigger prize.
Fanboy?

yes i would have liked to seen khan-bradley but i cant hate on bradley for passing it up for a "chance" at manny
just like i think khan is doing the smart thing by not taking any fights right now to land a floyd fight, even though you have alexander, brook, ghost, broner, maidana rematch, garcia rematch, etc
Its a business move if you are chasing bigger money and higher profile fights,,,,,
Do you think khan is ducking the other welters and jr welters right now???Comment

no not really,, khan/bradley was suppose to happen in the summer of 11, but bradley skipped out to sign with TR and took the casamoyer fight on the manny undercard and then took on manny,,
now had it been a year or 2 before, you would be correct, but summer to the next spring is not a long time in boxing,, they basically set up fights months in advance to allow the hype to build,,,
bradley said no to khan to sign with TR and get a chance at manny, and thats exactly what happened,,,
do you think khan is ducking guys now like brook, alexander, broner, etc to get a chance at floyd in may?????Comment
