Ask ourselves this.
How come Floydie wouldn't made an offer to Timothy Bradley(#2 WW in the world) after his victories against Pac an Marquez before Bradley resigned to Top Rank..
Because he doesnt fight Top Rank fighters
Mayweather vs. Khan is set to go LOL

Bradley didn't have to resign to TR had Floyd made an offer instead of pretending like Bradley doesn't exist.. you know.. the same way he made Cotto(TR fighter) an offerBecause he doesnt fight Top Rank fighters
Because he doesnt fight Top Rank fighters
Also because it likely wouldn't have been a huge draw. Canelo, Cotto, Marquez, and now Khan with his UK and I imagine an international following as well, simply make the most sense from a business perspective. I think Bradley would give Floyd some problems in the ring, but he'd be a bigger problem to counf PPV buys on. I'm interested to see how this Khan match sells, because after that Canelo fiasco, I can imagine quite a few people are going to be hesitant in shelling out hard earned money on the sweet science.
But I agree, the primary reason for no Bradley fight is the beef between GB and TR. Hopkins can't get in the ring with Stevenson because of it and that was a fight I really wanted to see.
Bradley's contract wasnt up yet and Floyd's fighting in May and September. Bradley's deal with Top Rank didnt run out until October of 2014
He signed his contract in October of 2011 for 3 years apparently: http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/7064727/timothy-bradley-inks-top-rank-deal-fight-joel-casamayor
So again, Bradley and Floyd couldnt have fought until as early as 2015 (May 2015), because I doubt Floyd would've pushed his September 2014 fight back to October 2014 in order to fight Bradley once he became a FA

Was Pac/Bradley set in stone when May defeated Canelo? No
Was there time between then and the time the fight was signed to make this happen? Yes
Make up excuses for your favorite fighter not taking the best fight brehs

True, but at the end of the day its a business. Everything has a price. For the record, I don't really care who Floyd fights I'm probably gonna order it ,but this notion that this was the best fight is laughable.

Give Thanks, Repent, and Forgive
I hate this fight
1. Amir doesn't deserve this
2. Floyd didn't take the best fight or the biggest money fight available.
3. These are the kinds of fights that scream "A NEW........."
4. THIS WAS MADE FOR THE CASUAL FANS, not us.
With that said, I'm going to be watching the fight like

Khan is dope to watch when he gets to lettin his hands off. If only he didn't have a turrrible chin.
And also this fight is pretty ridiculous. Mayweather is a cornball.

Still doesn't make sense because Floyd coudve made Bradley an offer, bought out his contract, and at least be fighting Bradley by September this year, but nope... He rather chance Bradley be food for Pacquiao, so buy the time they ever do fight (which they wont)
Bradley's body woulda been through so many wars win they fight (same with Cotto)...
Timmy vanilla ass is making 5+ million a fight, why leave Top Rank when they are putting the building into you to be their next star.....
On top of that the non draw Floyd opponents like a Guerrero only made 3 mill guaranteed and Canelo a proven ppv comidity only made 8 mil(plus ppv revenue), Mayweather and Bradley know it's no point in pursuing this match, when Bradley can make the same damn money cleaning out HBO/TR shytty stable, had he ran to GB, he'd get his ass beat by Mayweather and ruin his stock meaning no more 5 million plus pay days, on top of having to face a loaded GB stable where he's staring 5-7 losses right in it's face, he doesnt bode well against the Maidana, Ortiz, Thurman, Guerrero of the world
So bottom line stop talking out your ass

First if all both Bradley and Pacquiao can handle all them WW nikkas over at GB EASY..
The stable is kinda weak because Pac cleared that shyt the fukk out
Secondly if Bradley beats Pac who the fukk is left over at TR...THATS WHY HE LEAVES... The nikka can go to GB and put in work...
at that 5-7 bullshyt. Go take your bipolar pills, you are not well.. you seem to think every boxer is bytchmade like Floyd trying their best to avoid a possible L.. you do realize nikkas actually want to fight the best out there...... right???Yeah Floydie beats the ever loving shyt out of Canelo, but he's scared of BradleyFirst if all both Bradley and Pacquiao can handle all them WW nikkas over at GB EASY..

Staaaahp it.. Floyd aint beat the shyt out of anyone in almost 10 years.. That shyt against Canelo was a sparring match.. since his body is getting immune to Xylocaine from all the injections over the years before fights hes scared to land hards shots.
Also he fought Canelo at a catchweight
But back on subject.. whether or not he's scared of Bradley is a mystery since Floyd wont even acknowledge his existence and chooses to make Pacquiao memes instead
Bradley can fight Cotto regardless if he's on GB or TR
