      Styles make fights, Bradley ducked Khan for good reason. He knows he can't beat him.

        Cotto was obviously the most lucrative fight out of the options, he was beaten badly the first time but Cotto is always going to sell.

        Bradley wasn't the first option, I don't think he was even the second option.
        I can buy Marquez was the 1st option..I don't buy Cotto he had done nothing to make anyone want to see that fight again..Again where the nego when Cotto said he had an issue with the weight..I'll. Wait for you to produce this..

        Pac being a draw holds no weight on how much an opponent will ask for..Esp if he knows hes the best option..I think your missing the obvious point,yet again no surprise just like Dirk business evades you..

            It was all a huge ploy to entice Timothy "I sold 339 tickets in my last fight" Bradley into the fight.

              Of course him being a huge draw holds weight, it holds massive weight, it's the reason for everything at the negotiation table. Pacquaio and team have absolutely no reason to have to use Cotto as a bargaining tool, none what so ever.

              That was Bradley's first PPV? Not a big ticket seller, unknown to the general public.

              He can't make any demands at all. He will take his offer and like it.

              Cotto was the first option and that's factual and public. It fell through because they couldn't agree on the weight.

              There was no guarantee he would get Pacquaio if he signed with TR.

                Lol Khan fans need to take a breather and calm the **** down.

                If Alexander TKOs him (and there is a bigger chance of that happening than you think) his career is done.

                And if Peterson can beat Khan there is no doubt that Bradley can, Bradley isn't a big puncher but he's no Paulie Malignaggi, he's wobbled some iron chins, and can certainly make Khan do the Booty Dew.

                  Again thou forget about Marquez..Marquez would have ask for more and i believe did want more money for another fight..Was not guaranteed yet got it with no issues what so ever..Ok..

                    Yeah he got it, but that doesn't mean he was guaranteed it.

                    Well whether it were Cotto or Marquez, Bradley wasn't the first option.

                      I had to LOL at the bold given the precedence you've set.

                      You can call it "better for his career", but that is one way to put it. He ducked Khan to get better money, yeah that sounds more like it. Sure it was better financial decision, but then don't pretend he didn't duck Khan.
