    Bradley is definitely next in line, arum intents to promote bradley and make him more known because he is a good boxer. I believe bradley belongs at 140 he is too small to be fighting at 147 and higher.

    He would have more chance of a big money fight if he unified 140. He's got this all wrong, I think a win over Khan would almost make certain he gets a superfight with Pac.

    This is how I've been calling the situation for awhile. Khan is nothing more than Bradley's plan B right now and that fight only gets made if it becomes apparent there's no chance of him getting a Pac/Mayweather fight. The way things have shaken out at 140 and 147, Bradley's on a mighty short list to get the call up for either one of those fights.

    Smart business for Bradley, but it sucks for fans- especially because the way I see it Floyd dismantles Bradley and Pac destroys him. Tim would have a much better chance against Khan and it'd be much more competitive. He'd be lucky to take 2 rounds off the other guys.

    Why is everyone so suprised this happened? Boxing unfortunately has become much more money orientated nowadays. Bradley isn't scared of Khan but is holding out for a bigger purse, which as a boxing fan sucks but its something we all have to accept.

    At the end of the day, if Khan beats Zab, his name will be even bigger in the states and when a potential fight does happen, it will sell even more.

    Yes but in any other sports, you face the best. Not the one who makes more money.

    Yankees:Nah we're not facing Cleveland...the Cubs will generate more money :tired

    Bradley is talking about losing the fight, i think that says it all. He bottled it.

    "(laughter) You better stop playing with me, ain't nobody scared of no dang Amir Khan, man."

    "Man, at the end of the day it's still really risky. At the end of the day, let's say I lose the fight, what happens then?"

    Sounds like you afraid of dang Amir Khan tim. It is a reasonable business decision but one in my mind he is making because he knows he probably won't beat Khan

    This is, gentlemen, the reason why Pac always says "I would fight anybody my promoters tells me to", so he doesn't sound like a pu55y when ducking or cherrypicking. Once Tim signs with TR, you will hear the same song from him.
