Tim Bradley vs Jesse Vargas???

[Scipio2009]

Timmy is reportedly getting 3.2 million vs vargas`
1 million and it will have jose benevidez on the undercard.

Phx and stub hub in running for the card

I call bull**** on this.

How in the heck is Timothy Bradley going to get $3m+ for a fight on HBO when HBO seemingly walked away from televising Andre Ward's next fight, where I doubt he was asking for anywhere near that much.

Bradley doesn't sell tickets anywhere, he hasn't really had a TV-friendly style, doesn't draw monster TV rating and he's not going to be getting much better either. You add that Top Rank is actually putting a recognizable fighter onto the undercard, and there's no way that the fight even comes close to covering costs.

... lol, Bradley vs Vargas (for WBO International Interim welterweight championship) is headed to PPV. Only way it'd have a chance to cover costs, with Tim getting $3m+.

bradley's not afraid to fight people like ward is so maybe that's why? ward wouldn't fight bute or stevenson at 168, is too scared to move up, and won't travel for more lucrative fights so what do you do with a guy like that? there's no point in giving him easy fights.

Yet he will fill stub hub or chase field
With benevidez as a co feature.

Everyone knows timmy signed 2.5 million
Minimum guaruntee per fight to sign back.
He got the rematch.

Bob arums pocket.keeping it in house

He is pushing jose and wants chase field
To appeal to joses home crowd in phx.

Fighting Jesse Vargas gets you $3 million.......**** out of here.

So HBO has $4 million to make Bradley-Vargas but can't use $4 million to find GGG a better opponent???

Koleav-Pascal didn't make that much

[Jc8804]

Get over it.

Hbo canned andre ward for GGG
GGG = A side / andre ward =winky wright school of bizz=b side

HBO made their choice

whoever bradley fights is going to get him a lot of money. just like whoever ward fights gets him a lot of money but the difference is bradley is willing to fight good fighters while ward isn't so hbo doesn't mind backing bradley because when they want him to face a tough opponent he does where as ward doesn't.

[Jc8804]

Exactly.

Heard wards camp was considering
Ron salsa as a tune up cause he walks around
At 165 on BET.
Shameful

you've got to be kidding, right?

Jessie Vargas is supposed to be a tougher fight for Bradley than any of the rumored opponents for Ward? lol

Prime Bradley dominates. Today's Bradley has declined so Vargas has a good chance.
