Tim Bradley dogs Floyd Mayweather

[Turbo B]

I knew this clown was gonna dog Floyd after he signed to Bob Arum.I always took him as a house Negro anyway.

Why the change in Timmy? coming off coon-ish. SMH.

Should've signed him to Mayweather Promotions, at least that way he could be keeping it real as one of Floyd's bellboys.

Who is Bradley trying to fool here...read below on how Floyd paid his opponent...Bradley will give Floyd control and he will like it.

Bradley has no say...he can't draw, his biggest purse was 1.2 million (and that was HBO money, not gate money)..Is Bradley on Pacquiao or Mayweather level as far as skillset or earning power

LAS VEGAS — On Saturday night, Floyd Mayweather Jr. will make tens of millions of dollars for an hour’s worth of work, if that. He will be paid for what happens inside the ring and outside it, paid far more than any other boxer fighting today, for far more than just his performance in a welterweight title fight against Victor Ortiz.


On fight nights, if it were not for the din of the crowd and the sounds of fists striking chins, Mayweather could hear the ringing of cash registers. He earns a percentage of every ticket purchased, every pretzel consumed, every poster sold. He will earn from countries that paid for broadcasting rights and the theaters where the fight is shown.

Mayweather, regarded as one of the best boxers in history, fights under a highly unusual financial structure, exchanging upfront risk for back-end profit while retaining total control. He is even responsible for paying his opponent, in this case a business expense of at least $2 million.

“It’s never been done,” Mayweather, who is 41-0, said about his financial model. “Not in entertainment history. Not in sports history. You see that arena Saturday? It’s all Mayweather money. Want a hot dog? Mayweather money. Want a T-shirt? Mayweather money. I need all that.”

He can pull this off because of the leverage he forged with his success in the ring. Few, if any, other boxers command such widespread attention and generate so much revenue with a single fight.

In his previous four fights, Mayweather earned $115 million. For Saturday night’s event, he is expected to make about $40 million, and the checks will come for years, determined by the results of many things beyond the fight itself, like the gate and the pay-per-view television numbers. This makes Mayweather a regular among athletes on Forbes magazine’s list of most powerful celebrities, even though the bulk of his annual income is usually generated in one night.

Mayweather, 34, described his business plan after a workout this week at the family boxing gym here. Sweat dripped down his face as he sat on the ring apron in business attire (shorts, hand tape), growing more animated over his favorite subject, money. Money earned. Money wagered. Money spent. Money flashed. Money lost.

On that topic, Mayweather said he collected $100,000 the previous night betting on N.F.L. games. He mentioned his 29 cars and charitable donations in the same sentence. He even compared his spending habits to a stimulus package: “If I’m making it rain, I’m throwing it to American citizens. In a recession!”

For most of the first 10 years of his career, Mayweather fought for the promotional company Top Rank Boxing, under a more typical model, with most of his money guaranteed upfront. Their split, in 2006, was far from amicable, marked by lawsuits.
Read in detail below and you will understand how Mayweather makes so much money.

Bob Arum will never let any of his fighters talk good about Floyd Mayweather. He was told to say this.

For Bradley, a Pacquiao fight > Khan and a possible Mayweather fight, if he would've won against Khan. His decision, only time will tell if he made the right one.

at putting Bradley as the house negro, as if Floyd's supposed to be the antithesis.

Bradley doesn't like how Floyd portrays himself in the public because he's and unlikeable character and bad role model. I don't agree with the divisiveness of the comment and mentality, but he's not wrong. Floyd is a good and terrible role model at the same time. I hope the kids, who have Floyd is there role model, have someone in their life that can bring the understanding to separate the good from the bad.
