Do you think that Bradley made the right move by signing with Top Rank?

Since 1985

.............................yes or no and why?

That's the best move he could do financially, but it will be interesting to see, what matchups Top Rank has in mind for him. Obviously Pac, Marquez and Rios ... what else?

TO make the most money?

Probably, yes.

Bradley loves the sport, but you can also tell this sport is also a job to him... As in, he needs to provide for his family for the rest of their lives and he needs to get the biggest paydays he can get.

He knows his undefeated record is the only thing that will get him decent paydays.. so he's trying to milk it as much as possible.

As a man you can't blame him, trying to do the best for his family.

Depends.

If he fights guys like casa then no.

If he goes out and faces guys like Solomon, Maidana, Pacquiao and Khan yes.

It also depends on how popular he becomes. Again if he is still only doing 5k in Cali then this move was a fail.

Bradley did what he believed was best for him and his family, though I think the move was very, very short-sighted.

Since 1985

I think he would've been better off signing with Golden Boy. Here are a few possible Golden Boy fights for TB:

Floyd Mayweather (the biggest $ maker in the sport)
Khan (if he ever decides to fight him)
Maidana
Guerrero
Ortiz

and GB is open to dealing with other promotional companies, case in point Lou Dibella Ortiz vs Berto.

Agreed.........Tim didn't see the bigger picture. I just hope Arum doesn't take home %20+ of his purses.

You think Bob would put him in with these guys?

Yeah it was the right move for him to avoid being humiliated by Khan.

Now he can get humiliated by Pacquiao and make slightly more money.
