According to Boxing Scene, Bradley was able to comment on his decision to turn down Vargas' offer for a rematch. He said, "There is a certain line that is there for a reason. We are professionals. You have a manager and I have a manager. You have a manager for a reason. But guess what? Nobody wants to see that fight! I won 11 rounds you won one."

He recently won at a match against Brandon Rios at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas last Nov. 7. There are speculations that he will be facing Saul Alvarez and Manny Pacquiao sometime soon.
