    Did Tim Bradley make the right decision?

    To sign with TR..I always thought it was his best move,but I remember a lot of people saying he should have signed with GBP or even stayed with Shaw..What are some of the thoughts on the matter now??

    He did. He got the Pac fight and a gift win, and now he's fighting Marquez. He can leave soon, and by that time welterweight will probably be looking much better than when he went to Top Rank, so he can go to GB then. He took a risk, and it paid off exactly how probably hoped.

    He took a risk to not fight Khan in order to land a Pac fight, and whether this was a good move or not was going to depend on landing the Pac fight. He did, so it was a good move.

      No, he didn't.

      He could have fought Floyd and made boat loads of money, like he did against Manny. Sure, now he can get Marquez, but what else after this??? Rios who will get killed by Manny, Provonikov, Kkhabib, Alvarado, or a Manny rematch that he'll lose again??? (Don't start Rome, we all know he TECHNICALLY won, but everyone knows he didn't deserve it)

      If he'd gone to Golden Boy he could have fought Floyd. After that he still would have had guys like Garcia, Khan, Lucas, Guerrero, Broner, Thurman, Ortiz, Berto/Karass, and even possibly a 154 mega fight against Canelo.

        well he gets to fight tougher competition as of now. If he went with GB he probably would be in wars at 140, which I would like too

          I'd say so. He's making good money and he's officially 30-0 headed towards another solid payday in September.

            He got Pacquiao. Never would have happened otherwise. Now he's getting Marquez. Not bad.

              I don't wanna make this about who I or yourself thought won Pac Bradley(imo Bradley won,and he won officially as well)but was his move to TR a smart choice..I see what ya saying about the other fighters GBP has to offer..But be serious,do you believe he would have made 8-10 mill fighting for GBP??I don't,but he's about to make some where in this kinda ball park money fighting with TR..Which is why imo he made the right move..

                  Bradley is the man, he wins because that's what he was born to do, so that's what happens. You can't honestly tell me that poor lil Tim has any kind of pull at all to have decisions go his way. He is the only one to beat Abregu and Peterson. If it weren't for the threats after the Pac fight and the "hating" he received, he would have just gone out and boxed like he normally does and shut Provid out 11-1.

                  He's gonna beat JMM and then he'll be ready for the world.

                    How long is his contract?

                    I think if he beats Marquez, he should try and get out of Top Rank and go to Golden Boy asap.

                    If he beats Marquez, he'll have official wins over Pacquaio and Marquez. I'm sure he wants the Mayweather fight and there's no way he's getting that at TR and there isn't much options left at TR regardless.
