Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley Being Advised By Gaby Penagaricano

[-PBP-]

HBO was ready to pay over 2 mil for Bradley-Peterson. I could care less for that fight, but it's Bradley's fault for choosing to stay inactive as opposed to making 1 million plus for almost a sure win fight.

I blame both GB & TR for Guererro-Bradley not happening. But I blame Bradley for refusing to fight period. By not fighting, Bradley is turning his back on HBO more than "standing up" to Arum. By rejecting HBO, it's obvious Bradley has delusions of grandeur regarding his monetary worth.

He's not staying inactive though. He hired a legal advisor to work with Arum to help save the December 15th HBO date.

How can you hate on a guy that's trying to force his promoter to make a fight that will help his post Pacquiao fight career and a fight that the fans actually want to see?

You yourself admitted Bradley vs. Peterson 2 was a ****** fight.

These are his words:

“Yeah, I think that’s pretty odd. I think there’s a lot of fights that are available,” Bradley said. “The promoters need to work together some how. The fact they can’t work together, it’s hurting a lot of opportunities for myself for bigger fights and for great fights out there.”

Only advice Win Sadly needs is to stop acting acting like he thinks he beat Pacquiao. If he does that maybe people will care about him again. Otherwise he'd better get used to junk fights. Arum may have finally found a way for neither of his fighters to get a loss after a fight, but he underestimated Boxing fans a little too much this time.

According to Arum, Peńagarícano withheld information from the Puerto Rican star in a planned maneuver to finalize a December fight against Austin Trout in Madison Square Garden.

Arum giving you insight into how he does it. He's projecting his practices onto someone else. Witholding (and distorting) information is how his fighters usually end up doing what he wants (i.e. Accepting the opposition he wants).

Bradley-Peterson II isn't a bad matchup, but it's unneccessary and the only reason it's trying to be thrusted upon to Bradley is because of Arum's petty differences with GBP. Bradley is in the drivers' seat (being the best option (for Arum) for Pacquiao), he'd be better served sitting out than risking a loss due to lack of motivation against Peterson.

Acting like he lost won't change anything. Fact is I'd like to see Bradley in a good fight it's what he needs. He can beat most of the guys out there, problem is TRs stable at that division is piss poor at best. He sold his soul, and he has to sleep in the bed he made...though I'm glad he's at least trying to get a good fight than accepting a garbage peterson bout.

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.

Like I said when Tim first signed with TR, Arum will soon find out that Tim isn't an easy to control or manipulate kind of boxer like Pac has been. He won't sit back and let Arum play his games because the reality is, these fighters are the one's making the promoters all the money. If they stand up the promoters will be forced to do what they want because if they sit around, they don't make the promoters rich, especially when they reach top top level...........time to shizzle or get off the pot.

Bradley is going to tell you the truth about things because he isn't a puppet or a politician. You blame him for it and he'll call you out.

Bradley does need to stay active. He probably should have taken the Peterson fight. He's not going to get a fight with Guererro considering he's with GBp.
