    His contract with Shaw runs out in June.Top Rank and Golden Boy are at war at the moment aswell.

    How much would he get fighting Pac? 4? 5 M?

    A loss or dodgy display against Khan and that fight wont happen!

    :lol::lol:Yeah I think he gets a hiding but for the payday and exposure it makes sense.
    Hes got nothing to lose as everyone thinks he loses easily anyway.

    Yup, but it's still stupid after he said Khan's running.

    Don't talk if you can't back it up at the end.

    Dont come with that ****, before Bradley was calling Khan out, and then when the offer was on the table Bradley don't want to know.

    Khan-Bradley is the biggest fight at 140 for all the titles bar the IBF yet Bradley don't care about any of that.

    Bradley's team being Shaw :lol:

    You don't think theres a motive in him saying that?

    I like how the Khan camp are trying to take the moral high ground by saying that they are offering 50:50 of the UK money. Gee wiz!

    Given that they are so obsessed with titles and Bradley has two, why shouldn't Bradley get two thirds of the wonga?

    At the end of the day Bradley has got a list of five or so opponents at 140 that he can fight for a minimum of $1.2m, no doubt there'll be a few that are acceptable at 147 too....

    Why use up your bargaining chip on this fight.... and why accept $1.4m when he's almost got that guaranteed plus cash from here?

    And why should Shaw get nearly $400k for not even promoting the show?

    HBO are overpaying people at the minute, and as such Bradley should get the best part of $2m.

    Even if he loses to Pacquiao (or JMM) the Khan fight will still probably be there anyway.

    What?

    To my knowledge he has been in the ring with 3 world class fighters Paulie, Maidana and Kotelnik where is this KO power? Apart from an early body shot on Maidana I dont see that much power at all.

    Because hes going to fight the best fighter on the planet in a PPV fight that gets 1m buys and gets him a huge payday.
    Everyone wants to fight Manny because of the money/Exposure he brings to the table.If Khan had any sense he would have signed with Top rank instead of the stable hes at now.

    Khan should fight who ever next and then move up in weight, let Bradley do his thing and lose to PAC then we will see him running back to Khan.

    After Primetimes cut what would that make Bradley maybe another $250k?

    Yeah right, Manny will never face big head Bradley, with the possibly of a headbutt cut being ruled a punch by the ref.

    2/3?! Oh wow, I can't imagine what the responses would be like if the shoe was on the other foot.

    That's just a ton of excuses. Fact is, don't talk **** in front of a Camera if you're not going to fight.

    God, he isn't Mayweather.

    Did you honestly think I was being serious in that post?

    Not to mention Timmiiiiie's got a pretty good set of whiskers, no way khan stops Bradley.

    Bradley can get a routine defense and earn the same amount of money he's being offered to fight Khan. As previosuly said he's bringing more to the plate too. He wants to be a ppv star and wants to put himself in the hat for THE fight everyone from 135-154 want. Gary Shaw cant provide that so he's gonna move on, Khan isnt a necessity for Tim Bradley. As great as it would be to get a unified 140lb division as always money and politics will likely win again
