    Arum doesn't have worthy opponents for Tim that can generate him money apart from Pacquiao which is a meaningless fight and Canelo which also doesn't make any sense for Tim considering the size difference. The money at 147 is with the Haymon fighters. Tim made a couple of decent paydays with Arum fighting legends like Pacquiao and Marquez but these fights are in the past, we're talking about the future.
    Bradley is guaranteed $2m every fight. He made more fighting Pacquiao and Marquez than any of the guys who fought Mayweather.

        Despite Bradley's decent showing against Rios (it was a "cash out-reward" fight for Rios anyway as Arum liked him but knew he was shot), I don't think Tim has too much time left.

        Pac's retirement fight is probably a good one for both of them.

            Yeah , it would be a great fight but I'd rather Tim go straight for a title.

              Even if that's true, he has practically no other options with Bob Arum apart from Pacquiao and Canelo, 2 fights that don't make any sense since Pacquiao already beat him twice and Canelo is way too big, I already wrote in my previous post that I'm talking about the future of Tim, Arum did a good job with this guy but it's time to move on to bigger things and that's with Al Haymon, a fight against the winner of Thurman vs Porter and/or the winner of a hypothectical fight between Khan and Garcia would make Tim tons of money and these fights can be on free TV, which would be great for us, and as of right now Arum can't offer anything nearly as lucrative.

                Isn't he in a mandatory situation for Sadam Ali? I assume its either Ali or they'll pay Ali some step aside money & fight Manny or maybe Canelo. I feel like Arum was a lil hyped about Bradley last night & that has me thinking if he wakes up feeling that way Bradley might go to the head of the pack in the Manny final opponent sweepstakes despite losing to him twice (in reality not officially obviously).

                I'd say most likely next options are #1 Manny III, #2 Ali, #3 Prov II & #4 Canelo or some more random cat. Maybe some chance at Brook happening @ #3.5, but I think Hearn is playing around with the idea of Brook fighting someone threatening more than he's trying to line that up. Thats the feeling I get anyway.

                  Kell Brook is no soft unskilled shot fighter like Brandon Rios.

                  I think he'd be the first to stop Bradley, with crazy Teddy having a temper tantrum in the corner.

                  Any boxer who works with Teddy Atlas does not end well. Wait and see.

                    It is true. Bradley gets paid better at Top Rank than every welterweight at PBC.

                      Bradley grossed $4 mil this year. That's what you get fighting Floyd. And you're talking about options?

                      Let's talk options. He's a candidate to fight Pac and Canelo. How much bigger and better does it get than that? And he's a possibility for Brook who beat Haymon's best welterweight as far as being proven. He can also fight Khan apparently with no political blocks.

                      PBC fighters need Bradley more than he needs them.
