It's over. Looks like Bradley is holding out for Pacquiao for sure. He turned down $1.4 million plus a 50/50 split from the UK PPV which would have been significant.

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

Judah vs Khan will most certainly happen now instead. Not a bad fight at all since Judah has the IBF belt.

Not sure what bradley will do next. There are some RUMORS that he could be holding out because Floyd Mayweather could be his opponent this year, but I think that's a stretch since Floyd has all those court cases around September and in his video's he seemed to imply he's not fighting this year.

I think more likely he'll try to fight a guy like Maidana some time this year, then try to get that Pacquiao fight in 2012. That's my guess. And I bet he'll sign with Top Rank later in the year as well.

No one wants to fight Bradley. The guy still has no name.
Losing to Khan would have made his name twice as large as it is now.
Am I completely biased in this opinion?

I don't know. I really don't see it any other way.

same here.

I applaud both guys for taking this fight. Although I have a feeling HBO kinda forced the issue on Williams.

My concern with Lara was it seemed to me his problem in his previous fight was mostly inactivity. He just didn't let his hands go as much as he should have. Against a volume puncher like Williams, that obviously could be a problem, unless he's landing very solid counter punchers, which I'm sure he's going to try to do, but he better be careful not to fall behind on the scorecards.

As for Williams, you just never know how a guy is going to come back after a brutal KO loss like that. Lots of questions will be answered.

I read that Goosen said Shimoda Vs. Ramos will be the televised co feature on the card. That's a pretty dope fight..

Oscar De La Hoya -- In Rehab



We're told De La Hoya is seeking treatment for a substance abuse problem and checked into a California-area facility within the last few weeks.

De La Hoya has posted a flurry of very introspective tweets in the past few days, including, "Take a deep breathe and let out all that anger that makes you hate. it really is going to be o.k." and "Stop finding excuses not to live. life is controlled by what you make of it and not of what it makes of you."

De La Hoya retired back in 2009. He had a career record of 39-6, held several championship belts, and won an Olympic Gold Medal back in 1992.
