Pacquiao's camp added 10 million dollars to Bradley rematch

[Evol]

Tbh ain't no one finding it funny how Pacquiao's camp put in the contract that bradley will get 10 million should there be a rematch, why would they do that?

um just in case pac loses or gets robbed and thats exactly what happen. was team manny suppose to not put in a rematch clause and just pray that pac will win?

I think all of us suspect Bob had a hand in the Tim "win" so its not like he's gonna make it easy for Tim to leave and profit off beating Manny by fighting Floyd.

Very good post, if it is indeed true that Arum had a hand in that Bradley's "Win" over Pac then there is zero way on earth that Arum would let Timmy get a Pac fight without an extension contract placed in front of him.

The good thing is Bradley is not a dumb fighter business wise, I have to give him credit for that, at the moment he has all the cards stacked in his favour, he doesn't need the Pac fight if he has to sign an extension. Simply put he is in a great position.

Who would ever put a $10M clause in Pac contract "Just in case he loses or get robbed" against Bradley of all boxers? That doesn't add up. I for one would never imagine anyone robbing Pac on a Top rank event, if he gets robbed against Mayweather then I can understand but to anticipate getting robbed against Bradley on a Top rank event doesn't add up at all.

Thanks. I agree with your post. The one caveat is Tim's value is relative to Ruslan. A tim manny fight sells prob 200-250k more than Manny Ruslan. SO yeah, h's smart to exploit this for more.

Lets say JMM changes and decides he wants to fight Manny well then Tim's value is back to nothing. So Tim is in a strong position but he has to be careful.

Bradley has a good manager behind him, I think Tim will be taken care of. And he seems to be the kind of guy that makes calculated decisions. He chose not to sign an extension with Shaw and fight Khan, instead pursued and got a Pacquiao fight. He has the win, technically speaking; getting a rematch by any means necessary probably isn't the priority right now. He's collected a very good Marquez win under TR and a meaningfully growing Provodnikov win, he may feel he's already got what he wanted out of Top Rank, there's no need to commit to an extension.

Perhaps he'd rather take a page from Cotto and let GB and Top Rank bid for his services.

Yeah but ain't 10 million still a lot for a guy who has no fan base?

i think at this point pac needs to really think about everything here. if its true that a rematch with bradley for 10g was put in the previous contract then thats what pac needs to do. pac needs to think outisde of the box for this one. if he gives more to bradley for the rematch and comes out with the W, this will lead him to bigger fights potentially with floyd and will have a better leverage in the money split so in return he will make up for the cut that bradley got and will make more because of that IF he wins.

now if pac picked ruslan instead because ruslan is not asking for much, beating ruslan will not put manny in any position to negotiate for bigger fights with more money in return. so if im pac i would give bradley what he's asking for, train hard and beat tim decisively this time. even if pac was to lose, losing to bradley will still be better than losing to ruslan. so pac needs to think about this. its not like he has a lot of fights left where he can play around fight ruslan and then come back to give bradley a rematch in the future.

yeah i totally missed the 10g part and only took the rematch clause part. but maybe they did this to lure bradley into signing the fight the first time around? i mean maybe there was conflict between both camps with negotiating for whatever reasons and maybe in order to get tim to sign they offer him 10g if there was a rematch?

Yeah might be, but then again I highly doubt there was conflict because why would bradley not want to fight manny at the time. No fighter ( well excluding floyd) would have turned down the chance the fight pac, and they would pretty much agree to anything.

Tim still did not sign tho,he went ahead and fought Marquez..Now he wants what was offered the last time..Ya know why??Pac is in the same position that's why..Marquez does not wanna fight him,and Tim is Pac's best option at the moment..
