      Yep. Pretty much.

        now im jus going by the reasoning you use which is money and anybody who doesnt agree "is a damn fool" in your words. fighters fight to get paid etc - these are all things you said to defend stevenson.
        Bradley got 5 Mil base for first Pac fight


        4 million base for Marquez

        6 million base for Pac 2

        http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id...imothy-bradley

        How much did he make against Provo again? 1.7?

        Now he has a 1.5 million minimum on HBO

          money wise - good move. He seems to command a lot of money.

          career wise - sort of. I think he could face a variety of fighters w/ GBP, but w/o floyd guaranteed, no reason to switch.

                HELL NO! He made the right choice, go to GBP and do what? Fight on Mayweather Undercard? GBP have yet to build a Superstar from the Ground and build him up. They are trying with Canelo and maybe he becomes their FIRST HOMEMADE SUPERSTAR

                More MONEY is with TOP RANK and HBO because they don't have a huge Roster so they depend on Bradley as one of their Top Fighters. Despite Losing it is still plenty of money to be made for Bradley with Top Rank, he could fight the winner or Alvarado vs JMM or he could fight Ruslan again which would be a Huge fight now after that first fight.

                Bradley made the RIGHT CHOICE regardless of losing to Pacquiao

                  He got 5mil for pac1 4.1 mil for jmm and 6mil for pac2. Floyd doesn't pay his opponents that type of $. He has good $ HBO rematches vs Provo and Abregu waiting for him and don't discount the possibility of Cotto-Bradley at 154 on ppv

                  Besides a fight vs Floyd for about 3mil (less Than he got vs jmm btw) what else is there at gbp? Porter Thurman Alexander and Paulie don't make near the $ on SHO that Bradley gets on HBO (1.75 for Provo1)

                    Bradley has made a bunch of money and people know who he is now. The pickings are pretty slim but a Prov rematch would make plenty of sense.

                      Bradley in GBP stable would be pretty cool. Alexander, Khan, Thurman, Porter, Maidana and Malignaggi
