    "Mouth to feed" is just a figure of speech,, What is it with this hate on Timothy Bradley? What is it that you guys can't understand? Bradley has earned his position as the No.1 fighter in jr.Welter..Why would he fight Devon if he's offered more money to fight Abregu? And he was offered more to fight Maidana in the first place. HBO is not putting up the kind of money a 140lb unifacation bout deserves...Alexander is willing to fight Bradley now because he's not making the money Bradley is making right now..It would be more money for Alexander, but not for Bradley....
    they offered him 150 stacks before devon wasn't really known, it is not the same offer now. bradley would get more money fighting devon instead of abregu and maidana, hbo knows that it is the biggest fight at jww and they will pay them fairly. but bradley didn't mention that he is talking about something way in the past now (two belts ago). and you are only saying he whats bradley for the money because bradley said that. I can tell u now that its not about his money its the fact that bradley has the top spot and devon wants to fight the best to be the best. he knows already the money will be there if he beats the best fighters. its common sense you get more fans AND make more money giving the fans what they want.

      I'm not trying to hear all this HE WOULD if he did this, HE WOULD if he did that..Look if HBO was putting up the money for what a 140lb title unification should be..We be seeing a fight with Bradley and Alexander next...the point is Bradley is not getting what he deserves for this type of SuperFight, which is why it makes sense to build it up first so it could generate the money, Why fight now for peanuts when you make a nice payday off this fight?

      You can't be serious, right?

        Aside from Pacquiao-Mayweather, that is not true at all. If that were true, then Floyd would have gotten chump change to fight a prime Miguel Cotto.

            no they won't that's why the fight isn't happening. amir khan gets over a million for every tuneup fight and they aren't willing to put up even close to that for a bradley-alexander fight.

            floyd mayweather disproves that theory. you get more fans being a cherry picking ******* who talks about being undefeated while avoiding the biggest threats would be more accurate.

              Here we go and I actually like Bradley, something tells me he's about to start a record label and riding around on a segway.

                He wants Floyd or Manny? LMAO. Like they'll waste their time with him. Devon and Amir are his biggest fights, he has mouths to feed? How many mouths? I'm sure the few mil he'd make fighting Devon would be enough for fish and chips for 6 or 7 people.
                Man he sounds like Mayweather all ready lol, at least he's telling the truth!!!

                  very serious. and how much does bradley deserves? what is he making these days, how impressive are his victories lately, when was the last time he knocked somebody out? my point is manny and floyd are not going to be here very long so the best way he can get there attention is if he fight devon and win. thats why it makes sense for them to fight now if bradley wants those big fights, abregu is no short cut. don't feed into that money stuff bradley is speaking on cause the money is there

                      Dudes trip me out. The guy fights Witter on the road, then fights Holt. Then Peterson. then Campbell.

                      WITHOUT GOING TO BOXREC, tell me Devon's last four opponents.

                      I'm OK with Tim getting his now. He put in the work the hard way, and earned his spot. Now is the time to go make his paper.

                      Get paper, Tim.
