Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Explains Reasons For Staying at Top Rank

[-PBP-]

His value will significantly decrease when he takes a loss. Which will likely be in his next fight. His luck can't last forever.

Everybody takes L's at some point. FURTHER reason to sign an extension and take the guaranteed money.

He'd make north of 2mill to fight Rios Alvarado Abregu Vargas Guerrero(if he comes over)Prov..You see dude,he'd make north of 4mill to fight Marquez..His options are more lucrative with TR..

Legacy vs Money. He chose money he has a family....that's the point of the thread...its signed let's move on.

I disagree. Provo isn't all he's cracked up to be and Bradley fighting like an idiot doesn't make him any better than what he is. Rios is horrible and would lose to any world class fighting, Alvarado is a lower on the totem poll then Rios. Abregu is probably the 2nd best off the four and thats saying something...

That's your opinion bro,I don't knock it..I also don't agree with it..Alvarado vs Maidana..Good match up could go either way imo..Prov vs Garcia..Same..Rios vs Matt's..Same..Mix and match bro..I think they'd all be very competitive fights tbh..

This topics been beat to death though. Yes GBP has the far better stable, and there are more fights the fans would like to see there....but he wants the money for easier fights and it's fine he has a family....no knocking it from me. I just don't want to hear why doesn't Bradley and X fighter fight down the road when most of the big name WWs are in GBP and why were stuck with Bradley vs Rios.

I'm not knocking him I absolutely understand his reasoning.

I'm just disappointed because I wanted to see Bradley in these fights.

Or he could fight Mayweather and make more than both of those put together.

Plus you don't really know that they would do that with Bradley at GBP nor how much he'd make.

He'd make north of a Million for a Garcia or Broner fight for example most likely.

Top Rank offered him $2.3 million to fight Lamont Peterson at Marlins Stadium in Miami. He would never get that kind of offer from GBP to fight anyone.

Robert Guerrero got $3 million for Floyd Mayweather.

Now I'm known a hardcore Bradley fan, probably my favorite boxer today, but why is it ok when he chooses money vs legacy, and not when Mayweather does it?

I agree,to an extent with this post..His legacy has gotten better from being with TR..Who else can say they beat Pac and Marquez??GBP did not give that to him..He's already getting HOF talk as well..So I would not put it like legacy or money..TR has giving him both..

[BoxingSmarts24]

You don't know what the future holds bro,if you think TR has been the top promotion company for all these yrs(and yes I still believe their the best)cause of luck your bugging bro..TR will have new fighters,guy's contracts are ending,and TR/HBO has a bigger bank roll to play with then GBP/Showtime..I believe the landscape will change..Not saying Danny Thurman or Mayweather would switch sides..I do however think other fighters will..

Golden Boy is the top dogs right now. Last year they dominated the PPV circuit and still have the rising stars. They have been taking over the last several years. Do not get HBO confused with Top Rank, because Golden Boy was actually fighting on HBO this time last year so that helped some of their ratings.

Right now Golden Boys roster is crushing Top Ranks roster. Ward, GGG, Sergio, and Ruslan all have different promoters but worked out a deal with HBO.

Rigo one of Top Ranks best fighters gets ****ted on by Arum and the networks every chance they get.

But Golden Boy is crushing Top Rank right now, and the numbers and the fans are showing. Hell Floyd vs Robert even if it was 875,000 outsold both Pac/Rios and Bradley/Marquez COMBINED!

And lets not bring up Floyd vs Canelo! Men lie, women lie, the numbers tell you the real story.

That's Guererro, Bradley would get more than Guererro most definitely he'd get his biggest pay day with Floyd more than likely.

Robert Guerrero got $3 million for Floyd Mayweather.

They won't be offering him that after he loses to Pacquaio. His whole schtick is based around the fact that he has a belt, is "undefeated" and has a "win" over Pacquiao.

Once that goes, so does his market value.
