    I don't think he makes nearly as much as his ruslan fight with anyone there other than Mayweather
    Lets be real, all fanboy stuff aside

    Are you really comparing the drawing power of Ruslan against Garcia, Khan, Broner and Ortiz???? I will give you that Ruslan is a bigger draw than Thurman and just maybbbbbbbbe Maidana.

    What I'm saying is there is only so many times he can fight Marquez and Pacquiao, what happens after?

      THIS!!!!!

      Top Rank is a merry go round, or better yet, another example would be a HIGH SCHOOL with slutty cheerleaders, they can only get passed around so much to guys on the Football team before guys are tired of this same chicks.

        Bradley can make a better name for himself at GB because of the stable GB has is just better then TR. Just a far bigger variety over there. But if he want some quick cash then he should recycle a fight with Manny which is a good fight but then after that then what? Didn't this guy say he wanted Floyd next?

          Probably rematch Ruslan and Marquez and some of those fights before he retires, but he'll also make more money there than he would at GBP.

            There's no way Marquez is still fighting in 2 years...

              I'm saying he's gonna get paid regardless of who he fights compared to fighting on the other side making less.
              Dude got paid almost 2 million to fight a guy who everyone here considered a ESPN level fighter.

              He's not going to make nearly as much at GBP and Showtime. Yea the better fights are over there, but if he wants to make the most money while his career is winding down, he'll stick with Top Rank/HBO

                He isn't even supposed to be fighting this year, but he's sticking around long enough for Bradley or Pacquiao

                  Let's fast forward to 2018. Bradley vs Mikey Garcia IV whilst GBP are having another competitive welterweight tournament which is drawing in big viewing numbers throughout the year. Fighters in the tournament are guaranteed several good paydays. All these guys like Keith Thurman, Alexander, broner , porter etc will be coming into their primes.

                    Ok I will give you that.

                    But lets say he cares about resume, lets say he really cares about being great, which does seem to be the case, he has that old school mentality that he wants to be the best.

                    What would do more for his resume, Another Ruslan victory and Alvarado?
                    Or victories over Thurman, Garcia, Khan, Ortiz, and maybe even Mayweather?
                    Because to me he easily beats 3 out of the 4 of the fighters.

                      Then obviously he should go over to GBP/Showtime instead of negotiating for a much larger payday and higher minimums.
