Bradley says he didn't fight Spence because Top Rank doesn't do business with Haymon

[RetroSpeed05]

They won the purse bid....... That's why the fight was on Showtime

The thing is damn near all the non title fights the WBC calls never get made. But Bradley felt the need to specifically say the reason the fight didn't get made us because TR doesn't work with Haymon

And? He could have went a different direction he didn't need to risk Loma fighting on showtime especially coming off a Salido loss.

Also the climate was different back then. And lets not act like Haymon is willing to throw his fighters on espn.

It was the WBO belt. He wasn't going a different direction.

And Loma-Russell having to go to purse bid to get the fight made proves Bradley's point that TR isn't working with Haymon.

Y'all are making a whole lot of excuses to try to discredit Bradley, who was actually at Top Rank and knew the policy.

This guy is a clown.

This is why Spence said he'll take the easier route to making fights. He knows TR doesn't do business with Haymon on the big fights unless it's a purse bid

You can lie to yourself all you want, but fans have been seeing Crawford and Arum being public about wanting the Spence fight. No response yet from the Haymon side of the fence.

It's also disappointing to hear Spence saying things like, "Crawford is on the wrong side of the street," even admits, "Crawford and Bob Arum are desperate," "I've got all the cards." Meaning, he's got a long line of PBC fighters he can intimidate and force their reluctance to fight him.

Did you even catch what he said in the Porter presscon? He mentioned the Pac/Mayweather finally happening and by the sound of it it didn't bother him that it wasn't made early. Bottom line is Spence is basically admitting he's in no rush to fight Crawford.

I think he means it reverse

PBC doesn't work with Top Tank.

It's a dumb excuse anyway, isn't Fury Vs Wilder 2 signed? That's Top Rank and ESPN working together. So they will if they have to

[Rip Chudd]

Why are fools in here making excuses now? Bradley said all that other side of the street stuff doesn't matter then turns around and uses it to say they don't do business with one another. No need to make excuses, just call a spade a spade. I don't see why that's so hard

Brah, you gotta admit this thread is not about blaming both sides, it's about blaming ONLY the other side. Huge difference.

Lie to myself?

Top Rank doesn't work with Haymon according to a long time Top Rank employee. Spence will take the easier route to getting fights made while Bud takes the easier fights

Spence would have KOed Bradley in my opinion. If Top Rank does no business with Haymon then why is Bradley trashing Spence for supoposedly ducking Crawford? Bradley is an annoyiing motor mouth.
