The real reason Bradley retired

[Motorcity Cobra]

So you're essentially admitting Haymon's inability to make meaningful fights at a steady rate when he's been in this "PBC model" longer than anyone else.
If you ask me, I'd rather see fighters fight 3 times a year regardless of who they fight. TR's Crawford fights 3 times a year. Not one of these Haymon fighters do. Not one.

He's made more meaningful fights the past two years than Golden Boy, Top Rank, and Main Events combined.

You and I are different. I don't like the GGG model of fighting 3 bums a year. I like the Keith Thurman model of fighting two good fights a year.

Maybe he knew he'd be fed to Crawford.

Crawford fought Postol and was able to fight 2 more.
This year he just had a unification fight gaining 2 more belts and expected to fight one more, not to mention his fight with Diaz which you wanted.
Why aren't we getting this from the Haymon camp?
Yet you're focused on other stables?

Ok. I said I don't like the GG model of three bums. And that Crawford-Molina fight was a bum fight. And if Bob makes that Crawford-Alvarado fight that's a bum fight. As a fan who subsidizes this sport I won't spend my money on bum fights. I like quality not quantity. Postol, Diaz, Indongo is a great streak of 3 fights. Even though I see a lot of people (mainly GGG fans) try to downplay all three of those fighters.

Real talk. That was the fight offered to him.

Jose Ramirez retired Tim Bradley is what you are saying doe. C- troll thread like I said.

No. That fact that the only fights for him out there were fights like Jose Ramirez is what retired Bradely. Bradley isn't about to be used to make a name for fighters that Bob wants to build up. Especially after being front row seeing Pacquiao get robbed for the sole purpose of building Horn into a name.

The real reason is what Bradley says it is.

Jose Ramirez ISN'T the only fight for him out there is the thing so idek wtf you are talking about with that.

Obviously he's not getting Manny. He don't wanna fight Crawford. Rarely will any sort of non-TR guy get brought in for a non-hot big name type guy. And Jessie Vargas is in a dispute with TR right now. So yea the ONLY guys to fight are the 147 guys on the come up of which TR does got a solid roster of, but yea that lacks appeal for Tim, but thats what there is right now, but that sh^t can change on a dime with a TR acquistion or other sh^t going down. Bradley retired for bigger reasons then his sh^tty opponent selection right now.

He's not fighting Crawford. He's not fighting Vargas again. He's not fighting Pacquiao again. He wanted to much money to fight Porter. He didn't want to fight Spence for the WBC eliminator. What other fights are there for him? They offered him Jose Ramirez at 140 ffs. That lets you know right there that there are no fights out there for him.

Bradley just didnt want to take punishment and his family see cuts and bruising and against a no name some day. If he felt he was going to be fed some other fighter from TR, he could easily go solo and sign with someone else but he didnt want to fight again. He made riches off of the Pac trilogy so he is not hurting financially.
