    It was a business decision in the sense the he knows he will lose to Khan and therforre everything after that is moot.

    IN boxing however thats' refered to as ducking the fight

    Its only a good business move if he thought he would lose.

    I don't think he did the right thing, but time will tell I guess. Why not just take the Khan fight, fulfill your contract and then sign with TR? Then he wouldn't be in legal battles now and would be free and clear to move on. The Khan fight also would have been a nice payday, Khan basically bent over backwards to get the fight. The only reason to me it doesn't make sense is that Bradley was unsure he could beat Khan, so he took the round about way out, and now has to deal with legal issues and instead of seeing a great 140 fight, he is now fighting Joel and was also stripped of his titles. I don't know if that was a good move or not. I guess if he lands a Pac fight it will be, still seems like a ***** move to me. Fight Khan and possibly unify the titles and move on to TR, or puss out, sit out for almost a year, have legal troubles, get stripped and now have a mismatch fight with and old Casamayor for a hope at one big money fight. Well, let's see how that goes.

    The gap between the risk between Manny/Sergio and Khan is like the gap between Kim/Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe.

    Khan will be get his ass picked apart, Khan IS a cherry-pick, and Floyd will deserve minimal credit if and when he beats Khan. Just the way Floyd likes it, big reward, low risk.

    Khan has about a 10% chance of winning, if I'm being generous to Amir.

    ****ing enablers, enabling Floyd's cherry-picking bull**** by buying into this crap about Ortiz and Khan being real risks.

    :-(

    I'm going to keep arguing with you about this, simply so I can be a dick later on and say "I told you so" and rub it in.

    Then at least I can find SOMETHING good about this **** matchup.

    How's Bradley going to justify getting 5-8m? As had been mentioned, Ortiz got 2.5m for getting sucker punched. Now if Bradley beat Khan, he'd be the undisputed man at 140 and maybe then could ask for 5m... but w/o that and as a perceived ducker... he ain't getting that big payoff.

    It was reported Margo made 6 million after his portion of the PPV revenue. Mosley was reported to have received 5 minimum, which would increase with PPV upside, probably a couple million more.

    If he lost he'd be OUT of both the Mayweather and Pac sweepstakes..

    No way in hell Casamayor beats Bradley.

    If he lost then he wouldnt deserve to be in the sweepstakes, period. If he won, then he would. Thats what fighters with a set of balls do: Take risks.
