Why is Tim Bradley not more popular then he is

[North Star]

Yeah, he fights as the A side as the main event on HBO. He normally draws 1 million plus people to watch. He's made a ton of money. He's not a huge star, but he's popular.

It is true that, for a variety of reasons already mentioned, he isn't (and won't ever be) as big as Mayweather or Pac-Man (partially, because he's not as good as them). But he's one of the more popular fighters out there.

He's one of my favorite guys to watch. People like him.

The thing I like about Bradley is that even though he isn't naturally gifted and skilled as the elite, he has an elite heart and will that gets him through fights and to wins. This guy has an indominable will and is an extremely hard worker. Attributes like that can take a medicore skilled fighter to the top of the mountain.

Bad timing. There weren't many uber popular fighters around 140 and 147 and 154 because of 2 named fighters. It was hard to support anyone else while busy defending either one of those guys.

No punch. I actually think, ki is too much popular, he is Malignaggi style fighter. Fun to watch, but he has no punch.

32-1, 12 KO's. He's a pitty-pat puncher. His only notable KO was against a wayyyyy past it Casamayor. He got a gift decision against Pacquiao the first time around. Provo soundly whipped his ass, but he got the decision anyway. He even suffered brain damage in that fight, which caused slurred speech for 3 months! Provo had him out on his feet. He was swinging on instinct the way a wilder beast kicks even as a lion's fangs are crushing its windpipe. Yet they said, "What heart this guy has!". If he beats Rios soundly, I'll gain respect for him, but he won't, so I won't.

Damn, I got to give Bradley props; he whipped up on Rios pretty soundly, even though "Bam bam" didn't really show up. The addition of Atlas may prove fruitful.

Ever since the 1st pacquiao fight.

He is a victim of circumstance.

Pacquiaqo was so beloved nobody wanted him to lose, he was competing against a guy like Pacquiao and people wanted Pac to keep on winning so he could fight Floyd, Bradley got a decision and people hated him instead of thejudges.

Even Andre Ward demanded that Bradley hand the belt over to Manny, and Busta Rhymes threatened to use violence on Bradley lol.

Bradley is one of the strongest minded individuals, to go through that, and he said he even thought he wanted to jump into the ocean and die he had to go into hiding for months after the fight.

He was given dirty looks at starbucks, it wasnt Bradley who made the decision it was the judges. People get mad at the wrong people.

Wait...what?

Wait...what?

lol you didn't read the tweets post fight? Busta Rhymes was so angry, hundreds of other celebs as well, he deleted some of his more violent tweets though lol I think he had one where he said If I see you imma catch you n#66a, fans were even threatening to kill Bradley or catch him with a clean one if they saw him in the street. Even Joel Diaz had to bring food to Bradleys home because Bradley was scared to leave his house, his family was receiving death threats from NON filipino pactars.

A few of Bustas angry tweets:

“BRADLEY, I’M GLAD UR CONCIOUS IS EATING U UP ENOUGH 2 ADMIT THAT U DON’T EVEN BELIEVE U WON HOMIE. GO CHECK THE TAPE AND RUN THAT BELT!!,” he tweeted June 10th.

“BRADLEY U CAN’T SLEEP 2NIGHT THE FEEDBACK IS OVERWHELMING ISN’T IT? THE WORLD KNOWS U LOST. DO THE RIGHT THING & GIVE THAT BELT 2 PACMAN!!!”

“BRADLEY, THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!! U CAN’T POSSIBLY BRANDISH A VICTORY NO 1 RESPECTS. DO THE HONORABLE THING AND VOLUNTEER UR BELT 2 PACMAN!” (Busta Rhymes’ Twitter)
