And So It Begins...HBO/Arum/Dunkin Not Happy at Bradley for Declining Peterson Fight

[Troav]

Bradley doesn't need to fight Peterson again, it's so pointless. He's shown what he can do to him.

He owes arum 2 more fights right

I'm sure Arum promised him mega fights too when trying to sign him up and no Tim wants to collect on that promise. Arum isn't standing by his word and Bradley is holding him to his word.........Arum's fault.

You know what it is..The force is strong with this one...

Wanted to or would have? Something tells me it's Arum negotiating with HBO and not Bradley. Perhaps Arum isn't used to a fighter not acting like a dog and following his commands. Either way, there's nothing immature about wanting to get a better fight. We're railing on Tim because he doesn't want to take a crappy bout? The lengths we go to on here.

Who else should he fight, and for the record how is it not a better fight? Should Tim really waste a potential payday because he couldn't fight Robert Guerrero? The Peterson rematch isn't THAT bad. Peterson is coming off a win over Khan.

For the record, I don't think Peterson should have earned the title shot nor should he even be licensed, but who's going to be available for Bradley in February that isn't available now?

Sometimes "not acting like a dog" is a horrible move. Look at how it turned out for Gamboa and Dirrell. Look at how that turned out for James Kirkland.

It's admirable to stand up at times like in Cotto's case, but don't act like every fighter should do the same. This generation's of fighters have led to a lot of pricing out and for good fights not being made.

At the same time, Arum and Golden Boy have led to a lot of good fights not being made too. It's bull**** on both sides, but don't act like Timmy isn't doing something super smart here.

Whether you think Peterson Bradley II is a **** fight or not (I personally think it's okay. Undeserved, but it makes sense) doesn't mean Bradley's attitude shouldn't be applauded.

This is twice now he has done this.

So, what specifically DOES Bradley want? I'd like to know his story here.

He specifically said that the promoters not working together are causing him to miss opportunities to benefit his career. So I assume he wants a fight with a GBP fighter who has a deep roster at and around his weight class.

Him vs Guererro would be a good fight.

Good on Bradley for saying no to this terrible fight.

I get the feeling Bradley is going to regret signing with Top Rank.

I like how everyone's furious he wont take part in the farce of a title fight. Good for Bradley, the mother****er has some integrity.
