Does anyone else feel bad for Tim Bradley?

If he doesn't like his job he can go work at Walmart.

Big Bradley fan but I don't. Dude is a millionaire. He's under-appreciated. He really does go out there and fight.

I don't feel sorry for him. Arum has done very well for Bradley by getting him big fights and paying him very well. For a fighter who is not really that popular Bradley has made many millions of dollars and he really should move out of that hell hole he lives in unless he likes 100 degree or higher average highs 5 months a year. Palm Springs is one of the hottest cities in the USA. Bradley got 5 million each for the Pacquiao fights and 1.5 million for the Vargas fight and probably 3 million or more for the Marquez fight. It's hard for me to feel sorry for a guy making that much money. The referee did do him a disservice in the Vargas fight because there was no way Vargas was going to knock him down again in those last 8 seconds. Now Vargas can falsely claim he was robbed of a certain KO win.

Man, this guy does not get a break no matter how he fights. I think he's also taken a lot of punishment as a boxer, hoe long doe the guy have left? almost every fight he is in is a war

Tim Bradley made his bed, and he's got to lay in it. He saw the landscape, locked in as much downside money as he could get from Arum, and now he's got to work through whatever fights Arum has left for him.

Interim title around his waist means that he's heading to Macau to fight Manny Pacquiao, after which he's probably fighting Brandon Rios. what he does after that is beyond me.

"no matter who he fights" ? Eh?

That sentence does not apply to Jessie Vargas of all people. He's getting paid handsomely for his fights, far beyond his limited marketability, so no, I most certainly don't feel bad for him.

feel bad for him? what for he got a gift against, pac, ruslan, chaves, and was saved from being stopped by vargas.

So no I dont feel bad for him glad he has been able to milk it for all its worth so long, he ducks khan fights casamayor and gets biggest payday and a gift against pacquaio.

I don't know how marketable he is but people speak of him as if he's some unknown type fighter. Bradley is probably top 10 as far as popularity in the sport. Right off the top I'd say he is probably more popular than Andre Ward and maybe a guy like Danny Garcia. He fought Pacquiao twice and Marquez... and that first Pacquiao fight definitely got him a ton of exposure whether it was for the right reasons or not.

I don't feel bad for anyone who does this for a living. People criticize the purest of the boxers for so called running but movement keeps them from taking a lot of damage; thus preserving their cognitive state. Tim Bradley does great when he boxes and moves, albeit he's not great to look at due to his style. He takes damage when he's trying to prove something. Bradley's lack of mental discipline will get him seriously hurt against bigger hitters.
