    Bradley/his TR contract

    Did he sign an extension with them or something? 3 fights(!!!) with Pacquiao is about as good as it's going to get for him in that deal. All the other top WWs are with Haymon/PBC, so he should be getting himself some of that action.

      Yea he signed a contract extension to get the last Manny fight. Signing an extension is par for the course with TR so he was either gonna have to sign an extension to get Manny a third time or he woulda been fighting some random guy for less money.

        But despite those millions, he always says he wants to fight the best... and the best are with PBC right now.

          Bradley has done well for himself but it's safe to say his career is near its end. And I hope he and his team recognize the signs. He was never the same after leaving 140. Coupled with that Provodnikov fight, it's been a slow descent. Whenever his contract is over, I hope he doesn't fight for too long after.

            Dammit. So no Thurman, Porter, Garcia, Khan, Spence, Guerrero...

            I guess the most I can hope for is Brook. There's no-one in the TR stable that'll earn him a big payday.

              bradley can still fight cotto, canelo, khan and brook without ever leaving TR, so again, why would he do that?

              Edit: not to mention a Vargas rematch if Vargas beats Brook.

                Last I heard, Cotto and TR ended their relations on an extremely sour note. Khan, Haymon.

                Alvarez... yea, actually I can see that. Defending his lineal MW title at 155 against a blown-up LWW. :laff:

                  I never heard anything like that and I'm sure HBO would be more than happy to invite Cotto back on and Bradley can easily go that route. TR is more than happy to work with anyone HBO is. The same goes for Khan (just on a HBO ppv).

                  And no matter how trashy a Bradley/Canelo fight sounds, I'm giving you examples of the best fighters you said he wouldn't be bale to fight. He can and make more money than fighting for Haymon against guys who have not proven their worth, inside or outside the ring.

                  Plus, there is Brook and Vargas.

                  Haymon has been holding onto Garcia/Porter/Thurman for years now, how many of those fights have actually happened?

                  Bradley has no benefit, legacy or finance, with Haymon.

                    It wasn't too many years ago (maybe 2) after Cotto left TR and went to Roc Nation. Arum and Cotto spat some real venom at each other, and it looked to be of the bridge-burning variety to me.

                    Granted on Alvarez, but I'm still disappointed that he won't be facing Thurman, Porter, Garcia, or Broner. And I highly doubt a Khan fight ever happens.

                    Brook, cool. Vargas, ehh. I thought that fight kinda ****** until the very end, and Vargas isn't anything special – a rematch certainly would not be an HBO WCB or PPV-worthy fight.

                    Well, it's close. If Garcia–Khan II happens this year, following Thurman–Porter, then in 2017 we'll likely see the king of that crop finally crowned. I'm not a Haymon cheerleader, I'm just saying how I see it. The very best WWs are in that stable.
