    Bradley smart or Greedy??

    So now we know Bradley's feeling on not taking the fight with Khan..For those who don't,it's because he feels he can make the same amount fighting a lesser opponent(and also getting rid of Shaw in the process)..

    When I first read about this I was very disappointed,but the more I thought about it the more impressed I became by Bradley's business mind..I also thought about how dumb HBO was of course..But really about Bradley bizzness acumen,he did something very similar with Alexander..Showtime was offering Bradley(I believe)500k to fight Devon who would have made about 300k..Had he took the fight then and not let it build neither would have made their career highest Payday..They also would not be in the position they are in now..Devon fighting for 1.2 or something mill against Matts,and Bradley can make the same against a lesser opponent then Khan..

    Why not??Khan is not unified,he has not gone the same road as Bradley either..Most of Khan's fights were high end,he really never has taken lesser money to fight big risk opponents..Bradley has..Bradley's last fight was against a unified Champ and no matter how ya slice it Maidana was not a Champion neither was Paul who'sa face..Bradley deserves to take a lay down fight for big money..While he does this Khan can face a Judah for Judah IBF belt..

    By that time Bradley contract will be over with Shaw and Bradley will be the hottest free agent on the market..Bradley with a Major Promotion team behind him and his winning way's equal big money..If Khan beats Judah big money fight for either of umm where they can get about 2 to 3 mill piece..If Judah win's same deal Judah is still a name and alway makes for exciting fights..What Bradley just did was a power move tbh,very smart imo..

    What's ya thoughts??

    If Bradley was paid only according to tickets sold, I wonder how much he would value himself at?

      Bradley has Shaw not GBP or TR,he has not been promoted like a lot of younger fighters(even Alexander was/is promoted better)Bradley is trying to get bigger Promotion and money..His value is high bro undefeated and twice unified Champ..He is one of the most valued young fighters in the sport,you see soon enough..

        bradley just wants more then 1.3 million.

        he made that amount in his last fight......

        also bradley has said NOTHING about the incident thus far......

        he's been busy working trying to make things actually come together. khan, & shaw have been in the media with their a** cheeks spread open blowing hot smoke.

        bradley could care LESS about another opponent. he wants KHAN. thats why he's silent & working away at a deal.

          Don't be too impressed with, as you put it, "Bradley's business mind". It's the management team and promotors that got both Alexander and Bradley that deal with HBO. I'm disappointed with the fight being held up but unfortunately in this case HBO gave these fighters a gift and they're smart to take advantage of it.

            Yea it's Bradley's team but he is the one running the ship..IMO just like a Mayweather he is very head strong I doubt any decision's are made with out the OK from him..

                I agree with him 100%, why can't fighter be greedy? If promoters are greedy or known to be why can't the guys who get in the ring and get punch in the face?

                I don't blame him, Alexander is fighting and getting paid $1.2M against Lucas M so why cant Bradley make more for this fight.

                  timmah is being greedy. HBO just won't give him a date if he refuses to fight who they want him to fight.

                    He is the one that has the final say yes, but what he has the final say on is dependent on the type of deal his management team can produce for him.

                    I doubt he was the brainchild negotiating the deal that guaranteed him a fight at 1+ mil$ion post Alexander/Bradley. It's pretty easy to run the ship when you have those type of options generated for you by your team. I'm not saying the guy is not bright as I don't know him but I wouldn't be so quick to give him credit for things his management team are overwhelmingly responsible for...

                    Along with the boxing skills he does have, he's had a good business team beneath him as does Berto. Mayweather is a different animal altogether proven over time
