I love the guy, great boxer, entertaining fighter, but why does this dude go into hiding after all his big fights. It's been over 4 months and no mention at all of what hes gonna do, or any potential matchups?
What do you guys think?
Man I'd pick Tim over just about everybody from ww down. Would love to see him vs Garcia, Mattyse, Thurman, Prohdnikov, Maidana,etc...I think he beats all those guys. I'd pay to see him rematch Pacman or Dinamita or get a shot at PBF. Those I think he loses, but he always brings it so wtf.
War Bradley! :boxing:
I can only imagine what the other regular fighters on showtime are making. Probably $100,000 to $500,000 for the other decent name fighters.
Grass is not always greener. They are fighting primarily as a career and for $ first and foremost.
Tim Bradley was a sucker for re signing with Uncle Bob. He could be getting good fights over at Golden Boy instead he is in a limited situation in Top Rank.
Timmy made $5 million and $6 million in his PAC fights. And I'm sure a decent wage against Provo and Marquez.
Timmy is laughing. Meanwhile, at Golden Boy/Showtime... Canelo got paid $1.25m and $3million against Angulo and Lara.
If this is prize fighting for $$$, Timmy is doing well for himself. He doesn't seem like the type to 'bling' out too much and waste away his finances.

He's recovering from an injury. Bradley/Rios @147 could be good.
re signing with TR means he has limited opponents. Maybe rios, but then who, algieiri if he loses to Pac? Mike Jones? Tim is on record as saying he wouldn't chase a Floyd fight. Maybe Khan? who knows.
Tim made a lot in the pac rematch so he has time to make the best decision for himself.
also, these guys box for money.
timmy has money now. two fights with manny, top level HBO or showtime billing for several years.
unless he gets a huge fight, he doesn't need boxing.
dude wanted to kill himself after pacquiao 1. people were brutal to him.
after provodnikov, he was treated with respect. i think the awful treatment of him has ended.
he probably just wants to be with his family, bro.
His last 4 fights have been tough ones. He deserves an easy fight. I think he should fight Rios. Rios is a known fighter and has fought at 147, so it would be interesting. Bradley beats him easily though. Hopefully next year he can get another big fight. I have a feeling Arum is going to push Crawford to move to 147 and face Tim.

He is waiting on Arum. The dude only wants to pit certain fighters against an inner circle of other fighters. It will be a Provid rematch or Alvarado....possibly Rios but they should announce something within the next month.
He had surgery and is still in the Cotto running for dec
He just got 6mil he's got kids and a wife he's prbly enjoying some of his money and chilling he's reached that level where he can sit back a little plus wasn't he injured?
I want Bradley in the mix with Golden Boy's WW's. A fight with Rios or Alvarado would be such a let down. I am getting a strong feeling that we are going to see Cotto face Bradley at 155. Not a bad fight though I'd love to see it at 150.
I think he should rematch Ruslan, not too many choices.
We'll Hank Lundy just posted earlier today that he got the call to fight Provodnikov on HBO. So Ruslan may be out.
