    This was a huge mistake on Bradley's part and he will regret it in a year or two just like Shane Mosley did when he gave his wife management duties over his career. Bradley needed a highly-skilled and knowledgeable manager to negotiate his contract with Pac and advise him on the deal with Top Rank, not some novice who thinks they know what they are doing.

    It sounds like he is trying to take a page from Mayweather's book, but, unlike Bradley, Mayweather surrounded himself with very smart Harvard-educated businessmen who have managed to squeeze out every dime possible for him. Bradley's wife worked in a retail store until a year or two ago.

      I don't think Bradley should have left Dunkin..He's one of the best,but if he feels his wife could do better..Why not,keep that money in the family right..

        I kinda agree with you here..Not that I think Bradley wife will try to hoes him like Jin Mosley..I believe they are both a lot more level then Mosley and Jin were..I think it will hurt him when it comes down to talking business with the big wigs..

        I do think she did a good job in nego this time tho..She most likely got Bradley a higher pay per fight and more fights guaranteed..Which is not bad..Only time will tell if this was a good or bad move..At the moment Bradley cut out the middleman..

        I wonder if he parted ways cause of the whole Marquez testing issues..Vada was suppose to be in the contract yet was not put in..Does anyone think this has something to do with it??

How the hell does Bradley take that much less guaranteed money for the rematch and resigns with toprank?had c. Duncan was managing then the crappy deal would've been better for Bradley.
            Dude Bradley most likely signed a contract that guarantees him over 10mill..He is under contract until 2015 I believe,within that time when you think about how many fights he could fight in that time..He can also nego for a higher purse,but all in all I believe they nego how much money he was going to see a fight..He fought Prov for 1.75 mill..Which is not far off from 2mill..If he nego for 2mill a fight,and fights 3 more times plus this Pac fight before his contract is up..He would have killed them..

                It usually is,but Timmy and his Family seem very tight..Jin always had a shady look to her..I don't get that vibe from Monica..They seem to really care for each other..

                  We will soon see headlines for tax issue for Bradley. Bob is going to run circles around bradley.

                    If he got his higher minimums, seems like a good deal to me. He cut out having to pay a manager and keeps it in family

                      I think that was the most important part. Not having to pay Dunkin any longer who I'm sure being one of the best in the business commands a hefty fee. Bradley has established relationships with HBO and Top Rank he probably doesn't need Dunkin to speak for him anymore.
