Comments Thread For: Dunkin: Tim Bradley Returns Dec. 15 at MSG Theater

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

i dont get why people are so hard on bradley, hes a decent fighter sure he might of got a robbery but what is he supposed to do? give manny the belt back? the williams lara robbery was worse but nobody outed paul.

People actually wanted him to give the belt back but in reality we know that wouldn't happen. What got under people's skin was the shit he started talking afterwards. Even people who didn't mind Bradley winning got annoyed by it.

Signing with TR was a mistake. GB has more depth and better fights at and around his weight class.

not really, he still got the casamayor and manny money which would've taken tim about 5-10 fights to earn given where he was.

but this is bad. Bushbaby and I argue all the time about business of boxing. to have this fight in MSG is crazy. between taxes and his team, tim is gonna be left with very little from this fight.

dude you were 25% of tims guaranteed ticket sales. without you they may cancel the fight!

I've failed him. I feel worse than a pacquiao fan who don't get to watch Marquez three in super slow mo

Yea cause Top Rank puts some GREAT undercards together. I mean look at Martinez-Chavez... One of the most anticipated fights in recent years and has the most bullshit card EVER.

I know. But a good undercard could draw people to this fight, more people than Bradley could ever draw fighting some unknown.

He got over a million dollars when he fought Casamayor on the undercard, and $5mil when he fought Manny. If he expects a seven figure paycheck again it would probably be smart of TR to have atleast one good undercard fight.

The Martinez-Chavez card is a joke, absolutely, but that fight sells itself so financially it's probably the right move for TR, even though it's sad for boxing.

Could be.

I went to Oleg Maskaev's last fight out here in Sacramento, and the Russians came out in pretty good numbers (large Russian community in West Sacramento.)

at least we knew who maskaev was from HBO.

Imagine being told you were on this undercard? your self esteem would be shot to hell.

Provodnikov is a tough SOB. It would be a decent scrap, I think.

Good luck getting anymore then 5000 people in MSG for this fight, though.

Its at the MSG theater, it only holds 5000

I might go

It would actually be kind of funny if some Russian semi-bum had the crowd support against a top10 P4P American, in America.
