Timothy Bradley officially ducks Amir Khan

Quote :

@danrafaelespn I just spoke to Gary Shaw & his lawyer. They both told me Tim Bradley formally rejected the @AmirKingKhan offer. Seems dead.

I remember months back when this was supposed to be the division that would help boxing come back to the mainstream...bowrofl

Erm Bob Arum is pretty close to getting boxing back on CBS.

And a fight from this division was 2010's Fight Of The Year.

It won't make a difference. Boxing will continued to be viewed with apathy for years to come. They have a few Manny fights to milk in the meantime

Maybe in America, but everywhere else the sport continues to thrive.

True. Boxing is the new soccer

I wouldn't go that far. Boxing will always have the capabilities to be in the American eye if just wasn't full of greedy assholes and incompetent tv execs.

Certainly not to that extent but boxing is facing a serious uphill climb in the States right now. All the stupid political BS that keeps good fights from happening/being shown combined with the rapid deterioration in interest from people my age toward the sport is doing a number on it
