(Disclaimer: As a fan I never agree with guys passing up good fights to chase a payday) I don't know if he would have lost but he ended up making the same $1.3 million anyway to fight a much easier fight in Casamayor, that lead him to the Pac fight where he made $5 million, prob another million plus against Ruslan, $4.1 million against Marquez, and now $6 million plus PPV upside in the upcoming fight. I don't like that he took the money rather than fighting for legacy but Bradley did quite a nice job of making money for a guy with such a small fanbase.
    Wrong. He had a guaranteed purse plus 50% of the UK PPV revenue. A ridiculously generous offer considering no one in the UK knows who he is.

      Bradley ducked Khan cause he knew he was in for a arse whooping considering the Red Hot form Khan was in that time.

          Maybe the 2 fighters that sold 60k tickets in an hour.

              He signed a multi-fight deal with Top Rank - yes obviously the Pacquiao fight is a possibility for anyone signing with TR but it was never guaranteed in his second fight. Enough of the fabrications.
              So he signed with Top Rank because he wanted to fight Pacquiao. He fought as the chief support on Pacquiao's card and then fought him next. There's fact for you, no speculation.

              "Obviously, then, that would be our goal to build him. To build his name recognition so that we could make a fight happen between Tim Bradley and Manny Pacquiao."

              If all goes right, Arum believes a Bradley-Pacquiao fight could happen in November of this year or early 2012

                It wasn't a two fight deal. Stop lying. Thanks.

                  Clevery, Bellew, Groves, Froch, DeGale, Martin Murray, John Murray could still work his way into a title shot, so could Mitchell, Selby, Quigg, Butler, Luke Campbell has got plenty of potential.

                  Some good fighters in and around world level.

                    And then he fought Pac after that. Twice.

                    He's not afraid of Pacquiao, Provodnikov, or Marquez...but he's afraid of Khan? That makes no sense.

                      You're right, I was wrong. And he was more interested in fighting Pacquiao than he was Khan.
