Bradley/Provodnikov in February, then Allakverdiev/Matthysse in June/July, then fight Pac/Marquez in late 2013.

But the move was still short sighted IMO cause he didn't look at Arum's 147 stable and think after I win or lose vs Manny who does Top Rank have for me to fight cause they don't work with other promoters. Now he is out in the cold wondering where is next fight is coming from that is on the level he wants it to be on.

[QUOTE=jsfd26;12922047]Watch out dude, you might get flamed out the ass. This is the same thing I said on one of my threads and people were whining like no other. Who's REALLY there for Bradley? Would you rather rematch Abregu and grab some $$ or keep inactive being obsessed with a Pacquiao fight?
Sorry but I don't agree with ya logic...Maybe Bradley is just wanting a better then Peterson or Abregu for himself and the fans(which he has every right to do)I think should be applauded not hated on by this forum..I mean how yrs have we seen TR fighters taking **** fight after **** fight..I don't think it's omly about Pac,as you laid claim in ya post...I believe it's about quality of fight which I really don't understand how Bradley get's bashed for this...

Honestly, I feel like he's hurt his own marketability over the past year by refusing to be noble-minded in victory/defeat. He was supposed to be the nice-guy-family-man who would have filled the void once Pacquiao left the sport (that's how I viewed it anyway). I'm quite sure I grew a nice fan base in the buildup to his Pacquiao fight.
Since then he's lost several fans and turned off several others by losing his humble traits and now, even adopting an arrogant and overconfident one. He has skills, he had the platform, but he's thrown it all away for this ridiculous persona which he can't back up with the skill needed to do so.
He's done it to himself. He destroyed his own marketability. No one should be surprised now that nobody wants to fight him when he has a weak PPV sales draw. There's no profit in a fight with him.

Originally posted by hougigo View Postplease list fighters who said they think they lost after a disputed decision. I've only seen one.... That's just me though.
I recall one of my friends talking about this and saying:
"He's starting to act like Mayweather without any of the skill to back it up."

He should have fought Alvarado, But Provodnikov is available or Lundy dropped out of the Matthysee fight or Lundy's conquerer Beltran. He needs to take a fight and stop being a baby back *****!
