    Dirk now why did you have to go and say that?

    His whole argument was on how popular Timmy must be because we the most hardcore fans know his name. What straws is he supposed to reach for now you took that one away?

        HBO is a business IMDUMB they operate on profit and when something isn't profitable they drop it. Like they dropped virtually all hw fights. If Timmy doesn't perform they'll drop him too. When you say long term contract understand that in the business world many contracts are unilateral to the holding company in this case HBO and with boxers being generally seen as independent contractors I have no doubt they could break the document with a small severance attached.

        Don't think anything is really "locked in" because it's on paper.

            And? His big move to Top Rank was supposed to usher in the era of the "Bradley Brand" and make him a bigger star. In truth, he hasn't made much, if any, progress despite the "win" over Pacquiao.

              Probably because he has yet to make an appearance on HBO and hasn't fought since he beat Pacquiao. IDK, I guess I'm the only one that wasn't expecting Dancing With The Stars to come calling.

                Prescott ko'd khan in 53 seconds and is still begging for a rematch

                  Bradley didn't win that fight lol.

                  Maybe he would have more fans if he admitted that.

                      You were certainly one of the ones talking up his move to TR. Like I told you, he'll get the Pacquiao fight and then he'll fade away or go back to where he was. The only thing I didnt call was him getting a robbery win.
