You could be right it is likely tht this will happen but when Bradley loses to Pacquiao and if he still doesn't face Khan he will be highly criticised
He was with Golden Boy but they couldn't match the offer from Top Rank, maybe Ortiz has a longer contract and this wont be possible.
Bradley signing for Top Rank does kill the Khan fight, which is a shame, but it's overall it's probably a good move for Timbo. After suffering under Shaw he needs to get with one of the big two to build up his profile. Out of the two options, Top Rank is the more attractive because they have the potential Pacquiao fight.
Latest talk is Golden Boy and TR are patching things up. Arum had a word with Schaefer about JMM-Pac III and they came to some sort of agreement, Bob even said he expects to work with GBP again. Let's hope that's sooner rather than later and then we can get some good fight!
How is it not a duck? He was getting offered good money to fight Khan in July. The prospective Pacquaio fight is next spring. That's plenty of time to prepare for Pac. Bradley is a 140 belt holder and is refusing to unify with the other belt holder. Why not take the fight in July with Khan?
Obviously he fears he might lose his 0 against Khan, and would rather keep it and face Pac for a bigger payday, a fight which I don't think will happen.
Because his contract with Shaw doesnt run out until next month and he doesnt want to work with Shaw again. The only way he fights Khan on July 23 is if he re signs with Shaw but that wont happen.
Top Rank and GBP won't have a harmonious working relationship until HBO treat all promoters equally. Arum is the only one that really knows how to promote.... he'll think outside the box and take fights elsewhere.... GBP just ask the Vegas casinos to put in bids and take the highest, knowing they've got HBO in their pocket.
