    Wow, ****** move by Tim! I was sure he'd head over to Golden Boy where all the meaningful fights await him. Hell, he can head straight to Mayweather and cash out if he wanted...he'd probably make more fighting Floyd in one night, than what he'd make in a five fight extension with Top Rank.

    I hope Tim says fuck Top Rank and makes the smart move in going to Golden Boy.

      Pac himself said if he's going to leave TR it's not for purposes of a Mayweather fight. Pac wasn't born yesterday. He knows what Floyd is doing.

        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.
        People whine all the time about Floyd "avoiding" Top Rank fighters.

        Why the hell would I care how much a fighter is getting paid? I want to see the best fights. Screw "boxing as a business." These same fighters who want easy fights for easy money turn around and complain when fans rightly criticize their competition. They aren't consistent about it.

        I want to see Bradley fight Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman and Floyd Mayweather and Marcos Maidana and maybe Amir Khan if he can right his career. What fan doesn't want those fights over Marquez 2 or Pacquiao 4 or Rios 3?

          Well I guess Floyd will just have to quit being a whiney little biatch and work with toprank

              i like the pacquiao-bradley rematch in principal, but not if it closes the door on tim facing the likes of mayweather, garcia, maidana, matthysse, khan, thurman, porter, broner, etc. if tim wants a shot at securing a place in the hall of fame, he needs to jump ship - and soon. top rank's options are very limited at the moment.

                I get better fights for Garcia if he stays where he is than if he leaves. That's not the case for Bradley.

                  But one good thing came out of TR's small stable of welters. They all became stars. They got paid more than GBs roster of welters.

                    I would love to see those fights too. But from Bradley's point of view, his goal should be to make the most he can. The anger should be expressed towards Top Rank and GBP for acting like little girls. Not at Bradley for making the best decision for him and his family. If Top Rank offers him $2 million minimums pee fight how can anyone fault him for taking that?

                      This wouldn't be a good move. He's in a position for other big fights if he leaves.
