Bradley willing to extend with Top Rank

[thiefery]

I have a good feeling that this cold war will finally thaw out this year. Still think Bradley needs to finish his contract and hit free agency. Listen to all offers and make the best decision for himself and his family.

Doesn't mean that he automatically jumps ship or anything but for a fighter like him in his prime, needs to look at all options. Top Rank should support that and feel that they've given him what was best and be confident that he'll resign at the end of the day.

I don't think the Cold War ends until Mayweather and Pacquiao are both retired, or they somehow get the sand out of their vaginas and fight. I know they aren't the reason it began, but they're the reason it escalated to this point.

Disappointing to hear, if true.

Why so??Bradley does not make as much money with GBP..Bradley still has good options with TR..TR has done a very good job with Timmy already..What's disappointing about staying with TR??

Is TR suppose to go out of business or something??Hell they need fighters just like any other promotion company..

It's not Bradley's job to keep Top Rank in business. Golden Boy owns 140 and 147. There are a lot more fights for Bradley if he jumped ship, not to mention he would almost certainly land a Mayweather fight.

No guarantee he lands the Mayweather fight..GBP does Mayweathers bidding,they don't run him..He also won't get paid as much to fight fighters like Thurman Broner Maidana etc etc as he will to fight anyone on TR stable..HBO has the money to make Bradley happy..More so then Showtime..

There are pros and Cons on both sides,from Bradley point of view..He has to take the money tho..How can he not??

this is incredibly ******. HBO doesn't have a singer top fighter at 147 they haven't already matched Bradley up with at least once. With Golden Boy he can at least in theory fight: Floyd Mayweather, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman, Marcos Maidana, Adrien Broner, Lucas Matthysse, Amir Khan, Paulie Malignaggi. You tell me if those fights sound better than a Marquez rematch or a fight with a blown-up Mikey Garcia.

The question is how much will he make fighting Marquez to how much he'd make fighting those fighters you named..The only fight worth more is Mayweather,which is not a lock to be made..

Exactly. Its not about who has the better roster. Its about who gets Bradley paid the most. If Bradley can get $2-3 million minimums per fight to beat guys like Jessie Vargas, Abregu and Mike Alvarado, he should take it.

People don't ***** about Floyd jumping ship so he can take on Bradley and Pacquiao but for some reason Bradley should? GTFOH.

Fans have accepted the "boxing is a business" slogan that promoters have pitched to them for years so be consistent with it.
