    So apparently its just not happening now??

    Tim Bradley decided he is just 'pulling out'. Any explanation for this?

    Is this is a ****ing joke? Surely this cannot be, i find it unbelievable

    Somebody please explain this to me. And what is going to happen now.

    Bradley got 1.2 million for his last fight

    Khan has offered him 1.3 million

    Thats 100,000k extra but Bradley is putting 2 belts on the line

    This seem to be everbodys plan nowadays....

    Everybody from 126-160 wants a pac payday!

    Its not about being the best in your division but about getting paid!

    Even gamboa thinks he can beat pac! Money talks- wins/losses walks....

    Simple, HBO guaranteed Bradley 1.2 million for his next fight, so why fight Khan for 1.3? HBO screwed the pooch on this dumb**** move.
    He can wait out his contract with Shaw, sign with TR in July, take a fight against a lesser threat than Khan for 1.2 million guaranteed, and then get in line for a Pac fight, business wise it makes total sense. To us fans it sucks, and we are the ones making that kind of money possible, but that's how it is as we speak.

    He can do that but what will his relationship with HBO be like then? He doesn't have Al Haymon or GBP, neither is he a big ticket seller or sets the world on fire in the ring. Will HBO tell him to **** off if he does that?

    I doubt it. HBO owes him 1.2 million for a fight no matter who promotes him is my understanding. Alexander got the same deal from HBO as well, win or lose in their fight they were both guaranteed 1.2 million for the next fight, which is crazy. I can't predict the future, but I would certainly guess Bradley is going to TR for a hopeful shot at Pac, which the opponents going rate these days is 5 million. So he can take his next fight against a lesser top 10 opponent, HBO has to pay him and he avoids the risk of Khan, and he gets roughly the same money. :patsch

    yeah but he has the possibility to became a star if he wins. For once I think that onepunch is close to the truth. Khan is a horrible match up for Khan so he doesn't want to risk a big future pay day against Pac who of course is going to beat the **** out of him at 147.

    All this time, bradley saying khan dont "duck" or whatever and turns down 1.3 mill, but i dont blame bradley if i hasd the chance to makes like 2/3 mill with pacman i would go for it, even if bradley looses it doesnt really effect his career as pacman p4p 1.

    Shimmy got it right.

    Bradley is making power moves. He has $1.2 mil guaranteed, with or without Khan. Taking a less risky fight right now will allow him to get the $1.2 AND exit out of his current promotional contract. After that sign with TR and be in line for a v$ Pac fight, which will at least triple his highest payday.

    I think it is fine since I do want to see PAc vs Bradley anyway.
