Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley is Warned Not To Overlook Provodnikov

It's just good to see Bradley back in action. Going to top rank has been the biggest mistake of his career.

He probably doesn't feel that way, despite being inactive for a while.

In two fights with Top Rank, Casamayor and Pacquiao, I will guess he has earned some where around $8 million dollars, at least. If he was guaranteed $5mill for the Pacquiao fight + PPV money, and then he got $1,025,000 from fighting Casamayor. 5mill+1mill+let's just throw in $2mill from PPV sales.

He would have had to fight Amir Khan, Marcos Maidana, Victor Ortiz, and Danny Garcia in order to make $8million. And Garcia wasn't even all that much of a big player when Bradley was there...It was Bradley, Khan, Devon, Maidana, Ortiz and Peterson, and Ortiz left after the Peterson fight. Then you had Judah, Matthysse, and Garcia. Instead of fighting all those guys to make serious money, he fought a shot Casamayor and got a big check against Manny Pacquiao.

I'm sure a lot of other fighters would like to have this big mistake that Bradley did.
