.Thats what losers do..... they fight each other. Alverado lost, Bradley lost....Its a good match up! You cant expect to lose a fight Tim and fight the winner of another fight. It dont work that way!

Rios was the winner...Pacquiao was the winner. So thats the fight getting made.
Take your fake win and fight losers of other fights. you earned it.... Fake champ!

Aint no fun when the Rabbit got the gun! hehehehe

Funny you say this. Pacquiao has made a whole career of fighting losers and Floyd leftovers. Bradley won get over it! I don't agree with the PAC/JMM decision, but JMM lost and life goes on. *******s never cease to amaze me at how little they know about boxing.

Of course he's jealous. He's been given the cold shoulder just because he got the W over Manny Pacquaio, and he's locked out of fighting any GoldenBoy fighters.

He's jealous, who else wouldn't feel the same.

These days, we haven’t heard quite as much talk from two-division champion Timothy Bradley as we are accustomed to.

Having secured the highest-profile victory of his career when he pulled out a split-decision over Manny Pacquiao inside of the MGM Grand on June 9, the 29-year old Bradley has obviously done a lot of heavy thinking over the past few months.

While he had clamored for a rematch with Pacquiao, the eight-division champion from the Philippines instead was maneuvered towards a fourth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez for Dec. 8, leaving Bradley with limited options.

And while a rematch with junior welterweight titlist Lamont Peterson had presented itself, Bradley opted to sit out the remainder of 2013 instead of gearing himself up for a second encounter with a man he had defeated handily nearly three years ago.

Winner of Bradley Rios vs winner of Pac Marquez I could live with that.

It's simple really. All these dudes sign with Arum and do what he tells them to do unquestionably. Tim is the only guy that will stand up to him.....Arum will grant him what he wants because he is losing money by having Bradley on the shelf. He only has to give in to one single guy out of his entire stable of boxers, I think he'll take those odds.

I'm sure you have heard the adage "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". Arum gives Tim a fight he likes, both guys make millions and the show goes on. He signed Tim because he is in the same general weight region that Mayweather is and is his best shot at getting another fighter at or around Mayweather's level who is an African American.

You have to think about just how close Pac and Mayweather are to being out of the sport for good. There needs to be a few guys out there capable of being considered "stars" in the sport and that's why Arum signed Tim up. If the guy is going to do some shady stuff to get Tim a win against Pac, he will get the dude a fight against an opponent that he wants. It's not like these dudes that he is mentioning have a chance to beat him anyways (with the exception of Mayweather).

Bob Arum losing money because Bradley ain't fighting? That's a good one...ha ha ha ha!

Bradley is about the only fighter with any integrity left. Top Rank probably wont make Bradley-Rios even if Pacquiao-Rios doesn't get made, because they don't want to loose the hype behind Brandon and Bradley would be a risky fight for him.

Bob Arum losing money because Bradley ain't fighting? That's a good one...ha ha ha ha!

Is it? Tim makes 1-2 million a fight, Arum makes 10's of millions of off him. Everyone knows who Bradley is now (a ton more now know him compared to the amount that knew him prior to the Pac fight) and plenty of people will tune in for hopes of him losing in his next fight alone.

Tim has his money sitting in the bank, Arum has a limited contract to make money off of Tim who is in his prime and will find another home after the Top Rank is up if things don't go his way (most likely with Golden Boy).

Arum has nothing to gain by leaving a prime undefeated, controversial fighter like Bradley on the shelf. Tim will live off of what he has saved until the contract is up, Arum will have some type of "moral victory" by not getting Tim another victory but have missed out on the opportunity to make millions off of him and then Tim will be laughing at him every time he fights and beats one of his fighters when he jumps to GBP. It would be just like what happened with Mayweather when Arum signed him.......I don't think the old man wants to relive that scenario.

Tim would take Rios apart, no prblm...

Has it really come to this! Shouldn't this be the other way round? Now Bradley is begging for a Rios fight.

Stop making to much sense..I really don't get why people don't see Timmy is not taking any ol fight because he is in the drivers seat to an extent...Bradley is not crying over not fighting right now..He told everyone he only wants big fights...He turned down a fight with Khan to get a far better one which made him a total of 7mill...Bradley is no dummy,he has a good team and is a very smart dude...An unlike so many other fighters,he is not abusing his body...Bradley will be around for a while,and like he said get that Alvarado bull***** outta here...Bring on the big fights Arum,or I believe Bradley will have no issues with sitting his contract out and signing on for a bigger one...
