Tim Bradley DID NOT duck Khan.

[LoadedWraps]

Tim took concrete steps to get the fight. It's not like he was just giving lip service or magically wishing for it to happen.

Exactly. Big difference. Khan was blatantly ducking.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Yeah. His concrete steps involved ducking Khan, sitting out his contract, ducking Khan again, fighting Casamayor and the luckily getting the Pacquiao fight 1 year later.

So long story short, he made about 6 or 7 mill in 2 fights.. Meaning he took a better deal..

But he could have made $1.8 million against Khan doe. What a ducker!

Well no because he could have had an extra $2m+ from the Khan fight.

Like I said, it all boils down to whether he thought he could beat Khan.

I think we can agree that 3 ppvs and over 10 million made is not as good as fighting THE Amir Khan

I mean... dude won a silver medal.... what medal did Pac win? The pinakbet meda?

Why do Bradley fans act like he couldn't have beat Amir Khan and then had PPV fights after? In fact, he'd have made more money coming off the Khan win.

This is a guy who was supposed to get $10m in a rematch with Pacquiao and only ended up getting $6m.

He's made a lot of money but he actually could and should have made more.

[Robbie Barrett]

You're talking in hindsight.

There was no other fight he could take that made him that much money, there was no guaranteed Pacquiao fight.

A win over Khan at the time would have actually improved his chances of landing a big Mayweather or Pacquiao fight but in his words "what if i lose".

Pretty much. He beats Khan and he's undisputed champion and the hottest free agent in boxing. There would have been a bidding war for his signature.

Bradley probably lost money in the grand scheme of things. That's of course providing he beat Khan. He obviously didn't think he could do that.

So Khan didnt duck Alexander for a shot at Floyd right?

Adonis Stevenson isnt a duck too then right? cuz going to Showtime was financially a better deal than risking it with Kovalev.

These people will be crying about Stevenson ducking Kovalev because he jumped to Showtime for more Dollars and say "oh oh i dont care about how much he makes its about the purity of the sport".

At the time Khan-Bradley held similar relevance and would have crowned a Lineal champion.

p.s. I did back Stevenson and still do, but yes he did duck Kovalev.
