Comments Thread For: Bradley: No Guarantee That I Would Face Mayweather

[bojangles1987]

That's ridiculous.

Bradley has been in PPV fights, and won, against Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao. He's also an undefeated American who would play the good family guy (with a little mean streak) to Floyd's villain persona in the build up. The fight would sell.

And we're talking Floyd Mayweather here. He'd sell fighting anyone, let alone someone with Bradley's credentials and history. It'd be an easy sell. If Floyd can sell fighting Ortiz and Guerrero, he'd sell with Bradley.

If Bradley has this great, marketable story like you say...he wouldnt be so notorious for not being able to put butts in seats. Just because he's been on PPV as the B side (and one fight that should have been on regular HBO) doesnt mean Floyd will fight him.

His style can also make for an ugly/nebulous outcome. Floyd is too smart to make that happen when he can make his money with easier, more marketable fights vs just about anyone else. Floyd isnt going to fight him just because Bradley is a "good family guy" with belts and a p4p ranking. If Floyd was really serious about fighting him he would make a move while Bradley was close to the end of his tenure with TR.

Just need to get off this whole Floyd will make a fight with anyone stuff. I dont blame him for not fighting Bradley, even tho its the best fight at welter after TB beats Pac april 12

tim never got to this point in his TR deal, he resigned well before it was up.

Didn't know Martinez was in his stable or weight class. And why the hell would he fight Lara?

All that matters is Floyd could have fought Martinez, yet did not..

Why would Floyd fight Lara??Is that a serious question??

[ThatDude44]

Bradley's management surely wouldn't let him sign with GBP as a free agent without a guaranteed floyd fight. Same way they didn't sign with TR without a guaranteed Manny fight.

If Bradley didn't get that fight or the money he wanted, he wouldn't sign.

Not like they had much of a choice. Rematches is what they do.

Floyd would also sell with Lara as well..For these same reasons.

Yeah but wilkins keeps saying there is no way he'd get a floyd fight. To believe that you have to believe Tim'steam would sign with GBP without that guarantee. They are not that ******.

I can't understand how you're not understanding.

Mayweather only fights above his weight class for big money fights. Such as Oscar, Cotto and Canelo. He's not a Jr MW but he'll move up and be very small if the pay day is worth it.

That's not the case at WW.

[bojangles1987]

Let's say Bradley beat Pacquiao legitimately in the rematch and signed with Golden Boy.

Does anyone really think Mayweather or Golden Boy would not want a PPV fight between two undefeated American fighters who are both top 5 p4p, if not 1 and 2, as soon as freaking possible? What other fight offers that opportunity for anyone involved?

[Foreign Soil]

Mayweather wouldn't fight Bradley no matter the situation - he's not a slow footed cherry pick.
