    He must be as ******ed as his fans if he couldn't figure out the dates in his contract

      Ppl say Khan has glass chin and make jokes but that same dude made Bradley quack so either Khan is awesome or bradley a coward.

      Business decision alrite. Khan did the same with Alexander but ppl can stfu.
      The only way he could have fought Khan was by renewing with Gary Shaw. Bradley instead chose to look out for his long-term career. Are you really going to hold that against the guy?

      Gary Shaw was the promoter who put a Californian fighter and a St. Louis fighter together in the ****ing Pontiac Silverdome lol.

        Khan ducked Devon Alexander just last year to instead sit around and hope for Floyd Mayweather. It's basically the same thing you're hating on Bradley for doing.
        Wasn't it that Shaw would have still been his promotor on July 23rd and thereby would have to give up some of his purse to Shaw?

        Yeah, and it was a **** move. No doubt about it.

          His contract with Shaw was over, he did not want to renew with the same promoter. It's as simple as that. Bradley never signed a contract to fight Khan.

          But yeah Bradley was pretty ******ed to go on making millions against Pacquiao, Provodnikov and Marquez. How much did Khan make to stagger around against Julio Diaz again?

            He must have known when his contract with Shaw expired. Wonder why he specifically mentioned July 23rd and the fact that he wanted to fight Khan then....

              When will you understand that it's not about money?

              He asked Khan to stop running, yet ran himself. The irony is staggering.

                Yeah it's almost like the situation changed over time and his thinking changed with it. What a novel concept.

                  It is about money. It's the dude's career.

                  Do you volunteer somewhere? I know that I don't work for free.

                      I'm not saying the fight game is about money. Of course it is.

                      But I as a fan couldn't care less if he made 100 million more somewhere else. He called Khan out, made everyone on here say Khan was running from him, yet he *****ed out himself.
