    Just wanted to add some facts..

    Bradley called out Pac in 2009 when Pac was the Champion at 140lb..



    Now this happen while this had also happened within the same yr..



    We move on,Bradley had beat Abregu and Alexander had beat Kotelnik..Khan had beat Paulie M..After the fight(since we like to bring up the what if I lose comment)Khan clearly say's..I'll fight Maidana Bradley and Alexander can fight,then the winners will fight each other..He then turns around and fights Mccloskey..Where he came in from??Oh that's right,that fight came with a 3 fight deal..Meanwhile they expected Bradley to take a Khan fight with no insurances while Khan just got a 3 fight deal..

    It's clear that TR offered Bradley more then one fight..While Shaw and GBP did not..It's clear he was on the top of the list(being Cotto said he would not fight Pac again,and Pac did not wanna fight Marquez again)to fight Pac..It's clear Bob had showed interest in Bradley before signing him and said as much..

    It's clearly not a duck,and why no mention of Khan fighting Mccloskey instead of doing what he said he'd do??Oh and the suppose Mayweather fight,if Khan could have fought Mayweather what happened??Why did that fight not go down yet??Oh that's right the set backs..Losing to Peterson(who Bradley dominated btw)and getting his lights turned out by Garcia..Two fighters everyone and their mothers said was not even in Khans class(some of those same posters I see in this thread funny)..Bradley made a very good busniess decision for himself..Deal with it..Also deal with the fact,Khan fighting Mccloskey open the door for Bradley to not have to fight him..If he'd just went right to the fight with Bradley,and then Bradley ducked him fine..I would agree..To expect Bradley to sign a extension and go into the unknown not knowing,while Khan had a three fight deal(worth close to 4 mill)is not fair and very short sighted..Just thought I'd add my 2 cents..

    Can you point out the untrue part of this post??
    Top stuff,good post there is no comeback to this post t other than the one childish response I've noticed. END THREAD

      Bradley was offered the fight with Khan on at least two separate occasions.

      The first was when he was with Gary Shaw. One fight. How is 2million a **** deal? How is 50% of the UK PPV a **** deal? LOL....

      When he became a free agent, Golden Boy tried to sign him. Bradley admitted that in his press conference and also admitted that they wanted him to fight Khan first. He clearly wasn't as comfortable with that arrangement as he was with facing TR only wanting him to face Casamayor.

      I wonder why.

            tim bradley DID duck khan. bradley vs khan was THE fight to be made at 140 between the number 1 and number 2 guys.

            bradley had no guarantee of a pacman fight at the time, instead he said what if i lose, im out of the pacman sweepstakes.

            if that isnt ducking, then what is?

              I watch They press, I never heard Bradley say HBO offered him a multi fight deal.. So I'd need a link to co sign that..

              The first deal was **** cause it was one fight.. While Khan was going to make over 4 mill cause of being signed for multi fights.. Again this is not hard to understand..

                The first deal was when he was with Gary Shaw. Golden Boy couldn't offer him a multi-fight deal if he was contracted to another promoter. It was a co-promotion. Khan got a multi-fight deal because he signed to Golden Boy. Not exactly hard to understand.

                Khan was not making 4 mil for 1 fight. He would have been making virtually the same as Bradley because he agreed to give Bradley HALF of the UK revenue. Again, how can a completely unknown fighter in the UK be offered HALF of the revenue and you think it's a **** deal...LOL.

                If Bradley had accepted that offer and beaten Khan, then he would have been the undisputed champion and hottest free agent in the sport. It all boils down to whether Bradley was certain of his ability to beat Khan. Clearly he wasnt.

                Bradley had the chance to sign with Golden Boy after he split with Shaw. He chose Top Rank. TR's stable is a lot thinner so he knew he could fight cream puffs like Casamayor instead of fighting the likes of Khan at GBP.

                      You've made the same racist joke at least 3 times in the thread. No one cares or thinks you're controversial.
