Bradley to get $1.025M for Casamayor fight

[mathed]

Tim played his cards right so far.....

athletes used to be admired for their athleticism, heart and strength.

now, apparently, we admire them for making wise business decisions.

We're not really admiring it and not happy this is happening but we can certainly understand why it isn't happening. Of course we all want the fight but you have to understand the reasons why it isn't. If Bradley losses to Khan these paydays go away, so why not milk it? If Bradley had great skills, we would probably be saying get in there but since he is only good, its whatever.

I guess that's why he has the undefeated record and Khan doesn't?

anyone?

All of the fighter purses for tonight were posted by Dan Rafael on his twitter account. I imagine he got them from Nevada Athletic Com.

I don't think Khan is great either, don't assume. Undefeated record doesn't mean much though. Khan has 1 loss but certainly has gotten better. I think Bradley would beat him but it's a 50/50 fight which is why I think what he is doing make sense. If Bradley was "great" though, the fight wouldn't be 50/50 and money would take care of itself, he would of already waxed Kahn.

*** legacy, I'm okay with fat pockets.

Only when its a fat yank

Alright, so let's say he makes 2.5 million. Now that Bradley is with the Bobfather(aka the white Al Haymon), he can fight 3-4 times a year and make 4 million in 2012. If he fights Khan, that's at least 6 months of waiting and could only fight once that year. By fighting bums like Casamayor, he can now fight more often, look more impressive, and still make good paydays. People certainly will have backlash but if Bradley looks good against the bums, he and the Bobfather can market him as a superstar and he will certainly get a fanbase. Either way Timmy is getting P-A-I-D.

If I was Tim I'd do the same thing. Who doesn't like fighting cans and getting paid good money to do it? *** legacy, I'm okay with fat pockets.

Great stuff from Timmy, Ill be sitting there with a smile on my face feeling really really happy for him making good business decisions and getting paid without taking a risk whilst being bored out of my skull watching him headbutt a shot 40 LW to a decision win.

Check only likes fat black yanks.
If they are white and/or have a European name he hates them.

He should be on the Austin Trout bandwagon in a minute. LOL.

Bradley can't be blamed for doing whats best for him and his family, but he just took everyone on a ride when he called Khan out actively and when Khan accepted he jumped ship so obviously he had no intention of fighting Khan straight away.

[any craic lad?]

Linares was paid 100k and Demarco got 50k for their fight.Not saying they shoulda got paid a whole pile more but when compared with how much Tim is getting paid against a semi shot fighter and with his fan base its crazy
