Was Bradley resigning with Top Rank and terrible move?

lol @ people worrying about how his opponent choices this man looked happy as a clam after the fight. And his wife was smiling backstage during the fight....LMAO...6 million plus a cut of the PPV. Thats big money in a sport where only Pac and Floyd earn big no more suicidal thoughts after he cashes his check i bet

Bradley has made more money in his last 4 fights than most of the welters at GBP, not named Floyd, will make over their careers. He might be upset about his loss, but he will be laughing on the way to the bank tomorrow.

It was a great move actually. Because I read he has a per fight minimum in his contract. And besides Million dollar paydays on HBO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $250k paydays on some stacked undercard in Texas.

He literally has no one else to fight and the only ww title he can contend for is the WBO, there are no top ww's with Top rank other then Manny and Juan and he has already fought both,who in the hell is he going to fight? He signed i guess thinking he would be defending his title but now he has not title Well Bradley would know better than you. :p $$$$

I guess he can fight Prov the Marquez vs Rado winner. Thats if Marquez wins and doesn't want to fight Pac. Then we will most likely see the Bradley vs Marquez rematch you can even throw Rios in that mix too. We might not see him on PPV again for a while . Bradley is still going to get paid and he has a great chance of beating all those guys that I just mentioned by TR. It's not a bad move for him and his family he will get paid a mill or two on regular HBO.

Bradley is ranked where in the P4P list? How about Maidana?Knowing the Ring. They're going to remove Bradley and put Maidana in

Top Rank did a good job promoting him. He has no fan base, personality, and a boring style( to casual fans). He still got to headline 3 PPV cards and headlined a regular HBO card signed with Top Rank. I don't see how GB would have done any better with him. Now? He doesn't have too many options left, but it was far from a mistake re-signing with Top Rank I wouldn't mind a Provodnikov rematch, to be honest.

He absolutely made the right choice. Remember that part of his deal was a bigger guarantee for the Pacquiao fight but also bigger guarantees for all of his fights in that contract. What was he going to do, turn that down for a maybe shot against Mayweather that may not have happened? He made $6 million guaranteed plus potential upside for the Pac fight, he wasn't going to get offered much more against Mayweather. Plus he would have made a lot less than Top Rank was offering for his future fights. This was a very good long term deal for Bradley.

He signed i guess thinking he would be defending his title but now he has not title He'll make more money than he would have if he left, but his legacy will probably suffer greatly, unless the cold war ends. As a Bradley fan, it sucks. There are so many fights I want to see him involved with that can only happen away from Top Rank.

I thought gbp offered Robert Guerrero too Tim Bradley, but it fell apart cause Top Rank wanted a rematch clause and gbp wanted it straight up? I remember reading that but i don't know if that was true. Nah, the deal was pretty much done and ready to go. But at the last minute Bradley decided to step away, it was more risk versus reward at that time. His trainer Diaz said the same thing, that they would gain nothing from fighting Guerrero. That only Guerrero would benefit.

when will his contract run out?

His choice was: Re-sign with Top Rank - Limited selection of potential opponents/higher purses Go to Golden Boy - Bigger selection of potential opponents/Lower purses Perhaps he could've taken the Cotto route and done 1 fight deals, or signed with a smaller promoter but it seemed the guaranteed money for purses was too good for him to pass up

Fighting paq and Marquez alone does more for legacy then any fighter at gbp not named mayweather. Legacy. Check. Fighting paq twice and Marquez made him more money then fighting anyone at gb not named mayweather. Money. Check. I don't understand how it's a bad move. I also don't know how losing his zero factors into it. Was he not supposed to fight the best?

I thought gbp offered Robert Guerrero too Tim Bradley, but it fell apart cause Top Rank wanted a rematch clause and gbp wanted it straight up? I remember reading that but i don't know if that was true.

I don't think so. He still has options with JMM, Ruslan and a rubber match with Pac. He seems to have the style to beat Marquez again and if he fights smart, he should beat Ruslan. That's easily another 10 million dollars in bank account. I'd say he has done relatively well, all things considered? Other than Mayweather, who else with Golden Boy brings in PPV type revenue? Hell, he could get a shot at Cotto as well.

Gbp has the hype jobs not top fighters Top fighters ww are in top rank Alvaro pac marquez provo bradley >>>> danny floyd peterson matthyeese thurman Malignaggi, Collazo, Porter, Alexander, Guerrero, Maidana and Khan are hype jobs? Peterson and Lucas are 140 pounders and so is Danny at this point. Also Provo is a WBO 140lbs champ and not a Welterweight.

Bradley in GBP stable would be pretty cool. Alexander, Khan, Thurman, Porter, Maidana and Malignaggi

Bradley has made a bunch of money and people know who he is now. The pickings are pretty slim but a Prov rematch would make plenty of sense.

goldenboy has all the top fighters from 140-154 and there is no arguing that He got 5mil for pac1 4.1 mil for jmm and 6mil for pac2. Floyd doesn't pay his opponents that type of $. He has good $ HBO rematches vs Provo and Abregu waiting for him and don't discount the possibility of Cotto-Bradley at 154 on ppv Besides a fight vs Floyd for about 3mil (less Than he got vs jmm btw) what else is there at gbp? Porter Thurman Alexander and Paulie don't make near the $ on SHO that Bradley gets on HBO (1.75 for Provo1)
