Comments Thread For: Bradley Had Suicidal Thoughts Because of Abuse/Threats

[New England]

i understand how that would wear on somebody. he worked harder on boxing than any of us will likely work on anything.


that said, he shouldn't let it get to him on this level. it's just a job. these people are just fans of a sport / hater of a sport. it's not real. what's real is the money he makes. the checks clear whether you get a controversial decision or not. what else is real is the damage these guys take in victory or defeat. you can die in there. you do permanent damage to your brain and internal organs when you're in a war.


i'm a storm trooper. a dog loves a bone. the provodnikov fight made me a lifelong, ride or die stormtrooper. i can't watch a guy go through that for my entertainment and not find him endearing.

i'm also a packtard. a dog loves an all time great bone.

i'm a flowmo, too. a dog loves a slick, flashy, all time great bone.

I like Tim but he has a very weak mentality. I think he thinks less of himself than most ppl around him.

I don't think I've ever heard of a case of a boxer contemplating suicide after a supposed win.

Bradley just doesn't get it. He complains that people don't like him, but he needs to understand that it is his arrogant and defiant attitude after the first pacquiao fight that makes people not like him.

The way he put his hands up after the first fight and roared like he really won, was just disgusting and I can understand why people dislike that. No one likes an arrogant delusional fighter. And claiming that he beat pacquiao 8-4 just makes matters worse. Bradley lost that fight 9-3.

I feel bad for bradley but on some levels he brought it upon himself.

he does seem a bit vulnerable out of the ring. what effect should a guy at a gas station calling him names really have on him? tim bradley is a set for life millionaire and a world champion boxer. he just beat juan manuel marquez after marquez best win in years.


in the ring, which is obviously where it matters, bradley's strong. outside of the ring he's just got to learn to let things go. i remember him getting awfully portly after the pacquiao fight. some people eat to make themselves feel better. now that he's come out and said he was literally thinking about killing himself, i recognize what a bad spot the poor guy must have been in.

a huge fight is probably the best thing for a guy like bradley when he's feeling down and in the dumps.


i just hope these two are in a good scrap. pacquiao fans will forgive bradley if he's in another provodnikov type fight. i have a feeling that they will box, which i don't mind if they're active, i just don't like to pay $70 for a boring fight.

yeah...but isnt this old news?

I try to be sympathetic, but this is ridiculous to me. The guy won the damn boxing lottery.

Bradley won the first fight!

The first time I watched the fight I thought Pac dominated but I watched it a few other times and Pacquiao was not connecting on Bradley. Pacquiao is fast and throws a lot of punches so it looks like they all land but if you look carefully he is not very accurate. His fans don't help because they scream in excitement every time he throws a punch even if he doesn't land anything.

Either Bradley comes up with really cheesy things he believes will promote a fight or he has some serious emotional problems (if he was actually suicidal)...

Man I'm the opposite. The more people dislike me the happier I am.

It means
1. I probably beat them at something or made money off of them.
2. They won't invite me to some boring office party.
