Do you think that Bradley made the right move by signing with Top Rank?

    I view Bradley as the best opponent Manny can face since moving up from 130, no doubt about that.
    What about Floyd Dom?

      I wasn't in the meeting, I don't know what their plans were or what was drawn out for him, or what kind of money was discusses between them.. so I really can't comment too much on it. But Arum has a lot of fighters in his stable, and may seemingly be a lot easier to make some of the matchups he wants... Pacman being at the top.

        Almost all of them are done by 40 or before... so that's what I think he's trying to do.

        I personally don't care about Bradleys family at all.. I don't know them from Adam... I'm just posting about what I believe his intentions are. Arum will undoubtedly set him up with a lot of money making options.
        Bradley already set for life with that last check from his last fight.
        He just wants the easy way of making money.Example is like fighting

          Doubt it.
          Who gives a fuck? He has the opportunity of possibly beating one of the greatest fighters of this generation, and obviously more would come from it.

          If you think it's all about money then think again. He has more to gain here.

            Well that's my point. he'll be severely underpaid for the Pac fight (given the pot). If he's smart, he'll continue fighting the 140lbers in Bob's stable before taking Manny. Then take the big money. SMH. Don't understand why he didn't take the Khan bout. Ridiculous.

                  He will however earn a lot more fame and attention to him as a fighter engaging in an event with Manny Pacquiao.

                    Would have faced' is what I should have typed. Floyd is obviously the best opponent he could face.

                      If that was the case, he would've fought and beaten Khan then gone on to Pacquiao or Mayweather.

                      Hes cashing in. Or at least he thinks he is.
