Did Tim Bradley make the right decision?

[FeFist]

Depends on when his contract expires to be honest. I'm seeing in this thread people say that it only lasted 5 fights but it is possible that Bob Arum is making him sign extensions when he is matched against certain fighters.

[josenoway]

He made millions of dollars, even if it wasn't the 'right' decision, it's not much of a wrong one.

[DoktorSleepless]

Bradley got a 5 million dollar guarantee to fight Pacquiao while Guerrero only got a 3 million dollar guarantee. Pacquiao pays more and it's a more winnable than fighting Mayweather. And getting Floyd wasn't that likely because GB has a deeper stable in 140-147 with more marketable names, while his chances to get Pac were much bigger because Top Rank's stable was lacking. And now he gets JMM. None of those guys Golden Boy has at 140-147 compare anywhere near JMM besides Floyd.

He made 1 million fighting freaken Casamayor. Then 5 million fighting Paquiao. 2 million fighting Provodnikov. Likely at least 3 million to fight JMM. And then at the very least another 6 million for the Pac rematch.

Zero chance he'd make make 17 million in 5 fights had he signed with Golden Boy.

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??

fu.ck yeah Bradley made the right decision. he got a fight with Pac and won on the judges scorecards. now he's gonna fight JMM, and he's got a great style to beat JMM too.

if Bradley signed with GBP, he'd be stuck in that 140 lbs tourney. he wouldnt get Cherrypicker. he might not even have gotten Khan.

I think he's confident that he would beat Marquez. beating Marquez would imply that he's the rightfull champion at 147. who did Marquez KO again? if Bradley beats Marquez then he shouldn't have to give Manny a rematch unless its for money. you gotta also remember that Bradley expected an immediate rematch which he did not get. then boom pacquaio wants a rematch now since Marquez won't fight pacquaio even though there's more money involved.

If he were to leave when his contract is up he's done very well for himself.

The future of 140-147lbs is at GBP imo.

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..

Hahahaha nuthuggin at its best

[Hougigo]

lets just say that every poster on here thats criticized him and doubted him. He continues to get the last laugh... all my points on Bradley beats Marquez..

Bump that son... I'm putting real money on it!

Hoping everyone jumps on Marquez

Also yes, he fought Pacquiao and he's going to fight Marquez, two future hall of fame-ers. I don't know how long he'll be with TR, but if he gets the chance to leave, I think he will. Top Rank will have nothing for him at that point besides recycled fights.

Not all the way true bro..Bradley Alvarado(you mean to tell me you don't want to see this fight?)Bradley Rios(I'd be interested as long as Rios gives a good account of himself with Pac)..Even tho recycled,a Pac rematch would bring Bradley tons of money..Maybe even a Marquez and Prov rematch that could still bring him tons of money..

But the main thing is HBO is not doing business with GBP at the present moment..It's Bradley's time to shine and really be the main guy(should he win these suggested fights)and the man at HBO..I still think TR is the better choice for him(at least for a while)..Also you know a lot of fighters contracts with GBP will end soon..I know for sure some of them are eying that TR stable and the money being made over there..TR will have new fighters soon bro..

Had he signed with GBP though he would have beaten Amir Khan (when Khan was thought very highly of) and gotten a fight with Mayweather.

He would currently probably be fighting Danny Garcia and the likes.

Maybe it wasn't such a good decision? No one barely acknowledge his win over Pac and he has not become a draw from it.
