Bradley willing to extend with Top Rank

[mathed]

What if he loses to Pacquiao? Where is that minimum at? We know Tim does not sell. It is an unrealistic demand. I hope he opts out after his contract expires. If that means no Pacquiao fight then live with it. If he's that good and he thinks he deserves better in the GBP side, then take the Provo or Marquez rematch and call it quits with TR. Arum may have made him into a star but it's Tim's neck on the line in each fight and his future. No man should be deprived of choosing his own path.

Pac is just waiting until his contract is up so he can pursue a Mayweather fight....Arum knows this. Pac will lose to Tim again and Tim will be THE MAN at TR and run the show.

bradley is getting paid like a Boss @ toprank why would he give that up to join the UFC(gbp) and get paid crumbs for inhouse fights when he can get paid millions fight the best boxers in the World... Marquez is not with TR Provo is not with TR ....

Bon Arum work's with everyone including goldenboy when they want to stop acting like divas

[way2strong]

and he got paid more fighting Marquez than any of mayweathers opponents including alvarez who froid made a vid letting everyone know he wasn't taking home no more than 5m with the 40% the government takes plus his trainers and other staff

Bradley should try to position himself like Cotto in which he can work with both Top Rank and Golden Boy.

As much as I like Bradley, he doesn't have the crowd behind him like Cotto does

Elaborate?

Ortiz and Guerrero got a low pay day, they were never on PPV before. They likely left with $4-6mill. Guerrero had a guarantee of $3mill, so he likely got another $2-3 mill with PPV

Mayweather got 20% split vs DLH, agreed for Hatton to get full rights to UK PPV, which sold 2.1million. Mosley got a big pay day, Cotto got a huge pay day around $15mill, Canelo made around $12million. Considering who had to get paid in that card, Garcia, Matthysse, Smith, Molina and of course Mayweather, making $12million is a large check.

Considering who has to get paid in Mayweather cards and how much he has to get paid, I don't know how he's a cheapskate. Don't forget having undercards like Canelo vs Mosley(May vs Cotto), Mares vs PDL, Garcia vs Matthysse, ends up costing several million dollars in total. And this is Mayweather's call to put these fighters on his undercards and give them a piece of the PPV pie. So cheapskate? Don't know about that.

Guerrero and Ortiz didn't get any ppv upside. Just a flat fee. Cotto only got the ppv $ for PR. No other upside. That's how Floyd rolls. he can get away with it so why not?

Bradley has fashioned quite a lucrative thing out of his Top Rank run and he does get paid a lot so I could see where he would be ok if that happened (I don't know how Top Rank would feel about such a thing).

I would still say the writing is pretty much on the wall for him and he knows it but he has no reason to burn bridges or give up leverage at this point.

But I thought bob arum was evil and nobody wants to be with top rank?!

Everybody saying it's dumb to stay with the promoter and network that'd give him the most money

It's not dumb if he's going to make the most money....it's terrible though, for boxing fans. Top Rank has no one worth mentioning for Bradley to fight outside of Pac. As a boxing fan you'd want him at GBP with all the options avail. If he stays though it's for his best interest, and if he can manage to land fights, do it. Like it was stated though, if he loses to Pac, he becomes nothing over there and minimums don't mean anything if you don't land fights.

Marquez and Provo aren't the best boxers in the world. Marquez is an above average WW, like Provo....nothing more or less.
