Tim Bradley v Amir Khan - who wins and how?

[Box-Office]

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.

This one is hilarious

He went on to fight Pacquiao (then the #2 p4p guy in the world), Provodnikov (who turned out to be far tougher than anyone gave him credit for) and Marquez (the #2 or #3 guy in the world depending on who you asked) and earned 10+ million dollars for himself in the process. He made the right decision and fought some very tough fighters

Give him some credit dude. Don't pretend you would have done any differently in his position. You would have made the same decision he did, you just don't want to admit it because you'd prefer to hate on him.

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

Yeah he started thinking "Why fight Khan who will probably beat me when HBO have already guaranteed me $1m for my next fight so I can fight a bum or a stoned geriatric"

That's not what I'm saying though. I understand his choices, and I'm not hating on anyone who earns their money.

I just think he shouldn't have called Khan out. He obviously knew about his contract situation.

Anyways, I have had this discussion a million times.

Khan made 600,000 against Julio Diaz and Bradley made 4 million against Juan Manuel Marquez. I don't think Tim has any regrets.

What does that even have to do with what I said?

[Box-Office]

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.

Shaw got Bradley guaranteed one million for that fight dont forget so he is a fair guy. Bradley especially at that time couldnt attract flies to **** and only sold 339 tickets so much for Khan promoting himself using bradley. Silverdome or MGM you got fanbase no problem. Khan is a UK fiter who fites in U.S and yet Bradley's U.S fans cant travel for him thats his fault.

5 mil is more than 1mil ish he wouldve made vs Khan that is obvious but he shouldve not made those flamboyant statement on esnews and hbo saying khan was running. Like he couldve been more subtle so the "contract situation" card is late to play.

[Rome-By-Ko]

That's not what I was referring to. Who called Khan out on HBO? Who told Khan to stop running? Who said to radio Raheem that he wasn't scared of Khan and they could fight anytime? And after all that, who said "what if I lose?"? Hint - it was all Bradley.

Khan wasn't even that vocal about Bradley. He did say he wanted the winner of Bradley and Alexander, but he didn't call Bradley a ***** or anything like that. It's not Khans fault that Bradley had promotional trouble. If Bradley didn't have intentions of fighting Khan e shouldn't have called him out a million times. But he did.

If you back out you quack out.

Stop acting like Bradley was talking so much smack, that never happen..Also please stop acting like it was not well documented that Bradley wanted out of his contract with Shaw..I'm the end, Bradley took a better deal which was going to less him to fight the better fighter..I guess if you wanna have the logic of a 10 yr old, be my guess..

Not to mention,like you said Khan could have fought Bradley instead of fighting McCloskey..Which he said he'd do..

Khan was on PPV in UK before winning a World Title. Bradley made 1 million vs alexander and khan 975 k vs Malignaggi wat do you think Khan would do on PPV. The dude is a pioneer for his ethnic community plus the local Brits back him too ive ran in to few here in Canada who tell how big of a star khan is.
