So many empty seats at Bradley Provodnikov, why is Timmy the least popular champ?

He's lucky he didn't get called on knockdowns in the Provodnikov fight..

[BUNGALOWS]

It probably meant he's been in an overrated division (being a former GBP guy) in the company of weak fighters, Ortiz, Peterson, Alexander, etc. Some have moderate skills but lack punching power. And when faced with outsiders like Provodnikov and Matthysse, they look ordinary.

I would've loved to see him fight Ortiz. That would've been sick.

He needs to KO his next few opponents for him to gain more fans

Very, very lucky.

Arum always makes sure the refs know what to do, who to favor. But, it may have backfired on Timmy, because Ruslan may've seriously shortened Bradley's career. The dude could barely speak after the fight.

Headbutts boring style no punching power

He hasn't been brought up properly. Gary Shaw did a terrible job with him and Bob Arum signed him to feed him to Pac. Nobody has really marketed him properly. He also shot himself in the foot when he was adamant about beating Pacquiao when we all saw that he clearly lost.

1.He has no power.

2. The media/Arum created this good guy, , loveable saint image for Manny P
so getting an "underserved" win over this "good guy" hurt him.

3. He should just stop trying to be the good guy and play the role of villian and rub it in everyone's face that he beat Manny, that way more will tune in to see someone beat him up.

I hope you're joking. How else should he have been brought up, and who else would've prepared him for Pacquiao?

Marketing wise, what else can you do with the guy? He's been on HBO, how many times, and the only way he was getting exposure was by fighting Pac or Floyd. He accomplished 1 of those things, but it's not his fault, Arum pulled one of the most ludacris moves in boxing.

No denying the fact he cant sell ****

PS: No one wants to see another robbery.

Gary Shaw got him title shots and unification fights. What exactly was he supposed to be marketed as?
