All representation bull**** aside, Bradley needs to stay active. Sitting on the sidelines "waiting" for a lucrative match is going to help his career a lot less than fighting someone not named Pacquiao or Mayweather.

Look at his interview with his local paper. He says that Arum's refusal to work with Golden Boy is causing him to miss opportunities for great fights.

Its not that he's waiting for a lucrative match. He wants to fight the Garcia's, Matthysse's, Guerrero's, Ortiz', Lopez', Maidana's, etc. but his promoter is standing in the way of those fights happening.

I like how he's standing up to Arum and refusing the BS fights with Peterson and Provodnikov.

Bradley needs to hire a PR firm to advise him on how to deal with public criticism gracefully instead of hiring an ****** lawyer that hates Arum. Arum is a shrewd Harvard/US Dept of Justice attorney. He has all his fighters by the balls legally. Arum can probably put Bradley's career on the shelf for a year or two, if things get sour.

Dude, you can make the same exact argument that Golden Boy is preventing their fighters that you named from fighting Bradley. But since Bradley has a history of ducking (Khan), most people will be blaming Bradley for not fight in December.

I understand this, but he signed with Top Rank. No one did it for him. He signed the contract with Bob Arum and Co. to get the Pacquiao fight. At the time he signed, TR and GBP were as they are now, Cane and Abel.

You mentioned Provodnikov. Do I personally think he belongs with the elite? No. But do I think fighting him would beat the hell out of just sitting on the shelf waiting for your contract to expire? Yes, I wholeheartedly do. Especially if Bradley took the fight and won in impressive, emphatic (not highly controversial) fashion.

Tim Bradley is not Pacquiao or Mayweather. He is not a draw, whatsoever. The dude needs to worry less about being treated the same way right now as the aforementioned, and worry more about lacing up and FIGHTING.

LMAO so now Arum hates Gaby too? So Gaby was the reason for Cotto to tell Arum to F-Off? I guess manny asking for a catchweight didnt had anything to do with Cotto telling them to get ****ed.

LMAO at Arum, everybody including his own fighters call him for his BS. I dont like Bradley, but he sure is doing the right thing.

Arum's plan of robbing Manny to make Bradley a start has backfiire miserably. lol

[leonthegee]

Bradley sold his soul for a fight with Manny. TRs roster at 147 to 140 is sh_it. Why do you think Mannys fighting JMM for the 4th time? Bradley cant even get a Rios fight because they are saving him for Manny. If hes lucky he might get the Rios/Alvarado loser in the ring.

Well that's a ****** assumption.

He turned down a fight against Lamont Peterson, a guy who he already beat 11-1 plus 1 knockdown. It's a senseless fight at a senseless location.

Force the promoters to work together and stop accepting BS fights that nobody is demanding to see.

I respectfully disagree. Nobody is demanding those fights. It's time for GB and TR fighters to force their promoters to squash their differences and start making fights that are most beneficial to their fighters careers and that the fans want to see.
