I never thought about the Bradley connection with Bud and his unfounded TR loyalty. At least Bradley got 3 Manny fights and even a JMM to a lesser degree out of it.

top rank kills urgency

Timmeh didn’t even try to fight Floyd and wasn’t bothered by the fact

it took manny years to face Floyd

and Terence well

[The Big Dunn]

In other words look at Terence standing there like a sucker

he followed big bro Timmeh’s strategy but didn’t get to fight any greats

Tim got the robbery win to set up the trilogy with manny. Manny didn’t allow Bob to do that to him again with Crawford.

Yeah, you're actually refreshing my memory about some things. Bradley never pushed for the Floyd fight when it was actually somewhat in demand. I remember some people actually thinking Bradley had a chance of beating Floyd at the time which I find asinine.

Bob overpaid Crawford to block pbc from having a ww unification tourney. He couldn’t get him a big fight with Manny. He couldn’t get him quality ww fights. He wasted much of Crawford’s prime to fight a personal business war with Haymon.

I wonder if all of this was actually worth it? I guess so because fans blame Haymon and his fighters for “ ducking” Crawford yet Spence had big ppv fights, has unified, and secured a Manny fight, which is the biggest payday a ww fighter can get now.

Crawford meanwhile is frustrated with his career, looking to leave TR, hasn’t had a meaningful ww fight and watched Loma and then Canelo pass him on the p4p list.

Looks like leaving TR turned out great for Floyd, fishnets and Manny.

And Cotto. Cotto had bigger purses after leaving TR. Mayweather, Canelo, Martinez. He made more money in those 3 fights than he ever did with TR.

Arum is slick like that. He will start a smear campaign against Crawford if he doesn’t fight Porter. He did the same thing to Mayweather when he started asking him about DLH, Hatton and Mosley and asking for higher salaries. Arum rejected those fights for Floyd. When Floyd was leaving TR to get the fights he wanted, Arum decided to smear Mayweather and send Margarito after him, knowing they were in a legal battle and Mayweather wanted no more part of working with TR. This was when that infamous video came out of Margarito approaching Mayweather to ask for a fight. He was sent by Arum. He then used this “duck” against Mayweather and his critics did not care about the context of that situation. They were happy to just bash Mayweather for supposedly ducking Margarito. Even though the whole thing was orchestrated by Arum specifically to try to ruin Mayweather’s reputation.

Real good post right here.

Floyd did great leaving tr

Tr wasn't doing a great job with him imo

Tr did a great job with Oscar though

Tr did a great job with pac too until they ran out of opponents for pac

Floyd "money" Way of promoting himself just wasn't something tr know how to do

Oscar didn't need tr once he was a star and he did good founding gbp

Pac had to leave tr because tr ran out of guys for him to fight, pbc took most the guys 140-147 near the end of pac tr career

All 3 however were way bigger stars than Crawford

We'll have to see if Crawford can make himself a star, tr couldn't do it

We'll see if Crawford can make himself a star without tr

Good points. I wonder what fighters have benefitted from staying with TR?
