I'm on my phone, so I'll do later. Well, if it's easily findable, you could have done it. Sorry, but I've not heard about any Contract extension. This is news to me. I'll try to find out more about this later on, but if not, I'll come back to you for a source/link. Email? PM me? It's not exactly going to affect you in any way if you did show me, is it? That's a very strong thing for Bradley not to mention. We'll see. If this is true, I don't blame him at all then, but from what every other reputable source has mentioned, this was not the case by any stretch and was not heard of at all.
Business in this case is that he is getting $1.2m for fighting a shot 40yrs Casa in a **** boring fight, if thats not us fans getting ripped off then i dont know what is. The fact HBO ****ed up a gave $1.2m guarantee Bradley who cant sell tickets for **** is bad business on their end. Also business has nothing to do with Bradley stating that he dont want to risk fighting Khan in case he loses and then misses his Floyd/Pacman big pay day, thats called ducking in my eyes a guy who dont back himself to beat Khan yet wants to fight P4P best just to take a beating for big money, again this is what is wrong with boxing today.
If Khan had a legitimate shot at fighting Mayweather and knew a loss to Bradley would stop him getting it, do you really think he'd fight Bradley? That double-standard you're complaining about goes both ways. And yes, you're right about the ridiculous money given to Bradley for that fight. But hey, he's trying to make a living for his family. Just the other day you were praising Khan for making his millions. Bradley didn't have the silver spoon that Amir did, do you begrudge him securing his future?
Put it this way Khan wins his next 2 fights then he has a more of a chance to fight Floyd than Bradley ever will.
the contract extension was ony for a month, not a ong term contract, just enough to get the khan fight done, its on utube somewhere, the whoe intervierw,
Honestly, to those posters on the 1st page that said 'Khan knows his boxing' from what he said last night, have no clue about boxing. Oh, it's the Khan lovers! That know nothing of boxing.
Well its not Khan's fault for winning a silver medal at the age of 17, Bradley should of went to the Olympics.
Not true. That was the case for the Alexander fight, with the provision that it would allow for a Khan fight. Bradley wanted to take his second HBO fight for $1m guarantee and then fight Khan. That would have fallen outside of the extension with Shaw and The Pig would have made no money from it. So, Shaw tried to force the issue and threatened Bradley with a lawsuit. He knew Dunkin wanted Bradley to move to Top Rank, who would have given him better terms and, let's be honest, done its job of building him a fanbase. Really, it came down to Shaw's greed and Bradley's desire to maximise his earnings. Check you facts next time, ok? :hi:
Ignore the sensationalist headline and listen to the rest, and he explains his reasons for not fighting Khan. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5WPQ-IweIM[/ame]
Bradeys contract expired may 2o11 (origina contract, no extension) he didnt want to extend it 2 months for a khan fight simple as that, those are the facts and u can go check em yourself. "If i lose to khan im out of the Pacquiao sweepstakes" his exact words OK?
