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

[leericists]

he clearly made the right decision. all u guys would have been 1st to call him a dummy if he left top rank went at golden boy. lost a fight against say thurman making in the best case scenario 2 mil and never get to mayweather. or even get mayweather 1st makes 7 8 mil max lost and never had another fight over a mil. cmon the guy is making 5 6 millions left and right without even having a fanbase and u want him to leave that ? btw im not even a Bradley fan but he did the safest thing for his family.

Bradley had 2 fights left on his contract right? That would have taken him up to 2015 anyway. We may have a resolution between the promoters by then anyway and we will see him vs GBP fighters. We will however, never see him in with Floyd of course.

In order for a Top Rank fighter and a Golden Boy fighter to agree and fight, Bob Arum would need to be six feet under.

Guerrero might be an option..

I also don't agree that Broner is more known then Bradley..He might be more liked,but more known..I can't call it..

Actually from hardcore fans Bradley is much more liked. Broner is more hated for his Floyd and out of the ring persona which made him a lot more popular than fighters such as Maidana and Garcia. Remember for that fight Broner was the A side and the star.

All I am saying is, Golden Boy the way it stands right now can really put Bradley's name in there with some greats. Staying at Top Rank if he plans on fighting for the next 5 to 6 years he may have to fight lesser competition get older and lose to a guy he should dominate.

Even if you take out Mayweather... which is the biggest option he could still fight: Broner, Thurman, Maidana, Garcia which would be crazy, and Porter I mean Top Rank doesn't have shyt at the moment Bradley is in his prime and I can see him doing well against all of those fighters.

Cotto, and Marquez were smart and worked with both promotional companies. Bradley and Pac are both in position to do the same especially Pac so that is not an excuse.

Hell even Mosley did what Marquez and Cotto, did and Bradley was in position to do that without no legal pressure because his contract was up. We shall see how this plays out.

its true mayweather doesn't give fans the fights they want to see with the exception of canelo but of course he had to weight drain him.

Yeah he had to let Canelo outweigh him by 15 pounds when they entered the ring to win!


Him beating: Canelo, Marquez, Guerrero, and Ortiz really got you hurt huh?

Bradley is saying Money Mayweather
don't have balls to fight Pacman.
He's scared, doe.

People have talked about Mayweather fighting Pacquiao for years and we haven't seen that fight so how do I know I would have got it?

Maybe because you'd be out of Top Rank unlike Pacquiao? What the hell

[thuggery]

Bradley made the right choice. Top Rank/HBO keeps ****ing down Showtime over and over in ratings. Plus Bradley's been on PPV twice already with them, and now a 3rd time. Good money

Doesn't it always come down to money?

Bradley makes good points.
