Gary Shaw on Bradly.

zab vs bradley? Then we could see how much they really draw.

 

:roll: Yea, what a ****ing toolbag this guy is. Wow...just wow. A classic ESB post. atsch :roll:

 

I hope they work there **** out. You love to see this fight.

 

Give Bradley a break. He has the right to fight Khan later. Khan takes easy fights when he wants to, why can't Bradley? Bradley deserves a break and cannot be compared to part time boxer Mayweather.

 

Maybe Bradley wants to make money too? Or do you suggest Bradley remain Shaw's ***** forever? Why don't you suggest Bradley go to Don Kong?

 

Shaw, second coolest promoter to DiBella...

Yeah, no defending Bradley here, other than to say that the Bradley/Shaw soon to be expired promotional contract probably plays a larger role than I think (and I know it plays a larger role than most airheads here would think).

 

...i know right....shyts crazy!

 

I think its pretty obviously what Tim Bradly is thinking. He thinks he is either next in line or close to next in line to fight Manny Pacquiao if he signs for Top Rank. That is the only reason he'd turn down the fight win Khan. Because other then Shaw and Arum the only place from him to go it Golden Boy. Golden Boy is the one with the most money making opportunities at 140 with guys like Khan, Midana, Mathyses, Ortiz, Gurero, and JMM. All million plus, winnable fights for him. But if he's going to sign for Goldne boy there really isn't a reason to wait (save for a better signing bonus or something) cause Khan would be the first guy they'd match him with anyways. And its not like they'd be offering him a better deal then 50% of everything once he signed.

So basically the way I see it Bradley is Top Rank bound and thinks he can fight MAnny pacquiao. IMO it'll never happen b/c Bradley can't draw flies to **** and you could never use him as a B-side to a PPV.....unless of course he establishes himself more by, say rolling through a set of elite fighter...kinda l ike the ones they have at Golden Boy.

 

he let him escape. what don't u guys understand.

 

Because HBO screwed up and guaranteed that he will make 1.2 million in his next fight whoever he fights.

 

I bet you the people accusing Bradley for ducking Khan are the same people who said he would never fight Alexander. Pure ignorance. If you know Bradley and what he's made of inside, you know he ain't scared of no one. He's just making a business move. He will be guaranteed 1.2 million from HBO whoever he fights. After that, when he gets a new promoter and has everything figured out, he will fight Khan.

 

Boxing fans are fickle, unrealistic, and naive. They hardly ever are able to look at things through the perspective of a fighter. It's sometimes funny, and other times sad.

 

Quoted for ****ing truth. :good

 

What's so unrealistic about expecting a fighter to fight the person they've been calling out for a year ?

Bradley should have stayed with Shaw. He'll never be a superstar or a big draw, he lacks the star factor. He's a talented guy but if he thinks he's the next Mayweather then he's deluded.

 

Why should Bradley be excused or defended for making a 'business move'? We're boxing fans, we don't want to hear that ****. Whenever a fighter ducks another fighter, you could call it a business move i.e. they don't want to risk a loss, which commercially damage them.

Bradley ducked Khan. You're in the minority for thinking otherwise and until he fights him that will be the accepted opinion.
