Bradley turns down Khan fight thinks he is worth more that $1.4 for the fight.

[Rantcatrat]

Killersheep and Skel are right, Bradley isn't worth two bob. He split a million dollars for the Alexander fight, his biggest pot by miles, which turned out to be the ultimate dud. They couldn't give the tickets away. Bradley has ZERO fans outside a few internet forums.

Bradley offers Pac absolutely nothing.

But Bradley's nothing is more than anyone else's nothing. I'm not stubborn - show me a better opponent for Pacquiao. I'm all ears.

Exactly as MMASux said, Pacquiao-Clottey did fine numbers and Clottey wasn't a belt-holder, wasn't a top ten p4p fighter, and hadn't been featured on HBO prior to the their fight, and unknown to the casual fan.

I'm not saying Bradley is ideal, but I don't think there is a better opponent.

And if Bradley offers Pacquiao nothing, why does he offer Khan anything?

I think the others are right. Manny is not going to fight a little known, undefeated guy who brings no appeal outside the hardcore fans and who isn't worth the risk.

After Mosley presuming he wins and still wants to fight obviously Mayweather is option number 1.

If that doesn't happen his next fight will almost certainly be one of the following imo.

1. Marquez
2. Ortiz
3. Cotto rematch
4. Berto

Berto would have been in prime position but his loss to Ortiz has seriously messed that up. But given that Oscar, Hatton, Clottey, Cotto, Margarito and Mosley were all coming off recent losses it's still not impossible.

It will have to someone of whom HBO approve, and who can generate sales. If not Marquez, both Ortiz and Cotto are big name fighters, and Cotto at 154 might be very interesting.

The outsider for me is Maidana. He's a much bigger name than Bradley now and even though Manny takes him apart imo it would be a popular fight, I mean who wouldn't want to see that?

Marquez is clearly the best option. Ortiz is a GB fighter so that won't happen although if TR and GB could get over their feud, it may make the most sense of the options out there. Cotto rematch isn't going to happen because Cotto is fighting Margarito in the fall, which leaves Manny without another fight until next year. Berto's people aren't putting him in with Pacquiao after Ortiz shut him down. There's too much at stake to ruin his career. Plus, Berto sells worse than Bradley sells. I think he sold less than a thousand tickets for his fight before Ortiz. He is notoriously the worst ticket seller in boxing. Lastly, he doesn't deserve a Pacquiao fight at all. Maidana isn't a bad call, but isn't Maidana affiliated with GB? Bradley is a much better call, but Maidana isn't bad.

So, bottom line, for all the ragging on Bradley, no one has been able to come up with a much better option after Marquez and Mayweather even though Bradley isn't a big ticket-seller. Who deserves it more than Bradley? Bradley fought the consensus #2 or #3 guy in the division and won. Prior to that, he moved up to 147 and took the 0 from someone there, he travelled to England and in an upset beat Junior Witter. He's the most accomplished at 140. He's a top ten p4p fighter.
