    This is why I hate the HBO hype machine.

    Remember, this is a business. What might make sense for the fans may not make sense for a fighter's career.

    I'm not saying I like any of this, or even that what I'm speculating is accurate. I have no idea what Bradley is thinking. I'm just trying to give an idea of what he could be thinking and why.

    I don't think Bradley is ducking Khan. He's already called Khan out several times. I think he's just being greedy as hell.

    Excellent, thanks! :good

    Yep, sounds about right: HBO foolishly on the hook for the next Bradley fight, no matter who he fights. So you get this:

    Sounds like Team Bradley doesn't want the Khan fight, IMO. And why would they if they have money guaranteed? That's kind of what I was trying to talk about in my first posts: Keep your "0," make some bank, dont face a guy who might beat you.

    If anyone is at fault, it's HBO for guranteeing that money. And let's be real here, i don't think the public is too excited about Khan/Bradley right now. Bradley and Khan both have time. They don't have to fight next. They can fight next year. Plenty of time. It will happen assuming they keep winning. Many said Bradley was ducking Alexander. I just went :patsch.

    Bradley called out Khan and even went so far as to say that Khan was ducking him...

    Like always, Bradley is full of ****.

    Wow. Owned. Didn't know this.

    If this is true, Bradley will have some PR issues here.

    This makes a whole lot of sense. I recall hearing even before the Alexander fight that Bradley was considering other options, from a promotional standpoint. I've seen nothing from Khan that warrants any ducking by Bradley.
