Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley Comes Clean - And Goes Off!

He made a good decision dumping Gary Shaw, but navigating a TR contract w/o a professional manager may cost you more than 10%. And I get how fighters switch up to new trainers to reignite their motivation in training, but Teddy Atlas??!! And I bet he's paying Teddy more than 10% over what he was paying Diaz.

She negotiated him $2million minimum purses for non ppv fights and even higher minimums for ppvs. No other fighter not named Manny, Canelo or Cotto has that now and maybe Ward with his new deal.

Yep, while everyone else was standing around hoping Floyd picks them from his stable of Haymon fighters.

Bradley did the smart thing and got himself 2 ppv fights with pac and a Ppv fight with Marquez, with a huge minimum guarantee, along with a signing bonus.

Arum da evil *** be ripping fighters off though!

Good for you Tim. Remember, when you're old and the wars have taken their toll, Dunkin won't be there, Arum won't be there, Diaz won't be there, Monica will. The person on charge of your career truly has your best interest at heart.

He made over 15mil alone off 2 Pac and 1 JMM fight and he was the B side all three times. He made 2 mil for Chaves and Rios each plus a little over 1 mil for a shot Casamayor and 1.75 for Provodnikov and 1.5 for Vargas. Dude has made almost 25 mil...not to bad at all for a 5'5" dude from Palm Springs with no power.

Sounds like he's doing everything right to me. He's in the driver's seat doing what's best for his family and himself, and it's going very well for him. I'm happy for him.

LOL, but yea thats a legit concern. Okay your wife is your manager now, but can she get you as much money as a guy who manages as a career? **** man maybe she can for all I know, but it seems like there is more going on than Tim's wife could pickup in a few years.

It's not necessarily the stuff that she didn't pick up in a couple of years - it's the stuff that she didn't know that she didn't pick up.

If it comes to a divorce she'll know exactly what is hers too.
