Bradley willing to extend with Top Rank

[-MEGA-]

Bradley seems to be pretty smart business wise, so I'm sure he's gonna make sure he's ok. If he stays with TR I could see him fighting manny, JMM in sept-oct.
If Mikey Garcia comes up successfully and somehow defeats PAC at the end of the year that would be a good fight early next year. Maybe fight cotto by the end of next year. All good pay days.
If he goes to GBP fight khan(just to set Sh It straight) mayweather, Danny and maybe canelo...idk it's a tough one

That's a big "aside from" fighter in mayweather. There's broner and maidana too. Bradley isn't super old. Gbp has way more young fighters in his division.

Yeah, but if he doesn't sign the extension, he doesn't get the Pacquiao. So it's between Pacquiao and Mayweather. And Mayweather is well known cheap skate.

Maidana is hardly a high reward fighter. And after Broner gets his ass handed to him in the rematch, he wont' be one either.

Put it this way, if he leaves Top Rank he would without a doubt get a Floyd fight and bank at least $6-8 mil.

So if he signs an extension with Top Rank, he needs to make sure that he can recoup that money in at least 2-3 fights. It will take a very high minimum guarantee for that though and Top Rank/HBO's roster is thin as ****.

I guess he has Pacquiao 2 and 3, Marquez 2, Provodnikov 2 and Mikey Garcia down the road. But just the thought of this scenario makes me realize how much boxing sucks right now.

I hope Bradley realizes what he's getting himself into. This is a really uncool move on Top Rank's part. I wonder who Bradley is supposed to fight if he stick with Top Rank.

Garcia and Gamboa, calling it now.......Timmy is gonna make millions beating up on smaller dudes and racking up KO's

Who else can do that at GBP? They probably won't make as much, but it'll still be more than what he'd make at GBP.

Requesting a higher minimum is setting him up for life

Exactly. Besides from the Floyd payday he's better off with TR. This is strictly speaking in terms of financial success for Timmeh.


I would love to see Thurman Garcia Lucas all fight Bradley but if we're talking about which promotinal company Bradley should stick with for his finances it's Top Rank.

You will earn more if you fight mayweather as opposed to pacquaio. Ricky Hatton and cotto made more vs mayweather.

I guess there's really no guarantee bradley would even get a Floyd fight anyways....

Name me a GBP fighter at 147 that Floyd's ducking.

Ortiz got 2 million. Guerreo got 3 million. Where are you pulling 8 million from? Bradley is lesser draw than freaken Ortiz.

Floyd gives all of his opponents the biggest paydays of their careers. Bradley got $4 mil for Marquez and will probably get between $6-8 for Pacquaio.
