Comments Thread For: Team Guerrero: We Had a Deal, Tim Bradley Pulled Out

[ShoulderRoll]

It looks like Golden Boy and Guerrero were both down to make the fight. So this falls squarely on Top Rank and/or Tim Bradley.

Am I wrong?

pulled out or not. bradley beat guerrero just like he beat pacquiao

Hopefully better than that 8|

Maxboxing previously tweeted HBO offered Bradley $1 million to fight Peterson and he still wasn't happy. This is 100% Bradley's fault. Why would Bradley leave $1 million on the table against a fighter he already beat?? Because Bradley has principles?? Please lol

This sounds like Bradley is over-valuing himself and is pricing himself out of fights.

Everyone on this site was crying about Bradley fighting Peterson, ur mad he chose not to take the fight?


Lol, u people are sheep

Where in this thread did i say I wanted this fight? Read the rest of the thread. I was criticizing Bradley's decision-making process. Like most people on the net, you seem to just interpret what you read in a way that makes you feel superior LOL

In some ways I feel bad for Bradley and in most other ways I do not. He got hated on unfairly for a bad decision, but he also seemed to start feeling privileged after that fight. He seems to feel now he is a superstar, but to be a superstar you need a fanbase that would equal that status. His one chance at another big payday was Pacquiao, but Pacquiao is not interested. I don't think Bradley is interested in anything but another Big payday. He is in limbo.

Lets face it. In order for him to make money, he will need to fight often and fight hard doing it. Collect the smaller paydays and let them build up. Sorry but that is just the way it is. It is an unfair world, and yes boxing, like any other source of entertainment, is a popularity contest.

If he was smart he would get in good with HBO and collect some paydays. Without at least a big network like HBO lofting him up some, he would be making only lower 6 figure paydays. They will help him make the extra money that many other fighters with small fanbases get. If he sleeps on it too long though, they may not consider him later on.

Baaahhhh....

Bradley sucks at decision making becuz he chose not to take a fight nobody wanted for $1mil? If he'd have taken the fight, (as u clearly indicate) u would be crying about how "he only took the fight for the money", but he chose not to and now u question his integrity?? Is it becuz he wasn't the first fighter in history to admit a robbery was a robbery and return the belt?? Otherwise, what reason do u have to question his integrity??

I gave all my reasons about Bradley's integrity in this thread already. His behavior after the Pacquiao fight and until now, he deserves all the criticism he's getting.
