    It is a duck cause Bradley was not 100% sure he would beat Khan and did not want to risk his pay day.

    But the same rules apply and Khan was willing to fight Bradley and risk his possible pay day with Floyd.

    Golden Boy generally underpay their fighters in big fights in comparison to TR
    (vs Pac - Cotto got $12+M, post-ban Margs $6M, Clottey $3M, shot Mosley $5-7M, Marquez will get $5-8M)

    Bradley can expect $3-5M.

    Even smarter is 1.2mil + 6.5mil.

    He's been inactive for a year and is about to fight joel. There's no reason he couldn't have fought khan instead of joel (especially after calling amir out!) Then chase the pac fight after it!

    Picking Khan would be the 3rd hardest fight around his weight first 2 being Manny and Martinez.

    That's not cherry picking, Khan is 140 No.1 fighter right now.

    :lol:

    Not win more than 2 rounds, watch the expression on Floyds face when Khan keeps winning the rounds, he will be in shock.

    Ortiz was bigger but no way faster than Floyd, and Shane was fast for 2 rounds, until he started gas and look shot as ****.

    Timing nuetralizes speed. Floyd has the best timing in the sport today.

    Watch the expression on Khan's face when Floyd begins to time him, figures him out and begins to pick him apart.

    You are rarely going to find a fighter both bigger and faster than Floyd.

    You can hope for bigger and FAST!

    It is a DUCK of the worst kind


    Khan has a mayweather fight agreed to a year ago yet he will still fight bradley cause he knows he can win
    _____________

    Bradley has a better chance of a Pac fight as long as floyd keeps ducking and the difference is that he KNOWS he will loose to Khan and that goes out the window

    hence he wont do it !


    QUACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

    I guess Bradley's taking a logical route for his chance to cash in. I agree that simply facing Pacquiao, is his best guarantee of getting the jackpot.

    Otherwise, even by beating Khan, I seriously doubt he ever would have generated much more money outside that fight.

    I may be mistaken, but I think the final reason why he didn't pursue the Khan fight, is that a stipulation in the Gary Shaw contract would have forced Bradley to stay with Shaw for many follow-up cards.

    If Shaw Promotions is in the way, there's no Pacquiao fight...quite simple.

    As a fan, I think it's another perfect example of what's wrong in boxing and it's obvious that a Khan-Bradley bout has much more boxing value than Pacquiao-Bradley...

    No it was not a smart Business move. It was a DUMB business move!

    Here's a quote from Dan Rafael's Chat from yesterday:

    These two answers say it all.
