    According to other sources the awaited showdown has still not been signed and doesnt look to be in thenear future.

    Apparently Tim bradley's contract with Gary shaw expires in May 2011. Gary Shaw ha demanded to make this fight happen he will need to re sign with him or the fight will not go ahead.

    meanwhile Bradley has been exploring further options with other promoters, notably GBP who he has been in touch.


    What will happen now?

    Will Gary Shaw drop his demands?

    Will Bradley wait till May 2011 before he next fights?

    If I were Bradley I'd tell Shaw to **** off.

    And then I'd sue his ass if he refuses to make the fight because he's not filling his end of the deal.

    if shaw is going to make him sign contract extensions to get thos fight going he better offer him a brilliant contract because the **** is clearly trying to short change him

    I'd honestly advise Bradley to kill off the fight if it means he has to remain in the clutches of Shaw. His career will be better off if he has a better promoter backing him, and he knows this.

    Wow, what a surprise, another fight in jeopardy! Can't blame Bradley here though, he's doing the right thing. If he beats Devon for the paper belts - he's expected to do so - he'll be a star with a high market value, only a fool would cut a deal with fat**** under the old circumstances.

    Shaw should better let him sign or he'll definitely lose Bradley, and if he starts to ***** around - kinda expected from him - Timbo will simply sit out the contract period and will sign the fight under a new promoter next year.

    I've got a feeling Bradley might just sit out his contract.

    This isn't like saying no to a fight with Floyd or Pac - Alexander is still going to be there, waiting for him when he comes back.

    It's another kick in the balls for boxing fans but I don't think we're going to see this in January.
