I honestly feel he had something to do with the Bradley/Pac decision as well as the Bradley/chaves decision Saturday night

if Bradley wins, what fight is there honestly out there for him that's worthwhile in Arum stable of ww

Bradley vs Marquez 2, Bradley vs Brandon Rios, Bradley vs Mike Alvarado, Bradley vs Ruslan Provodnikov 2, Bradley vs Jessie Vargas, Bradley vs Jose Benavidez, Bradley vs Miguel Cotto

Also, being that TR and GBP work together now, you would also have:

Bradley vs Mauricio Herrera, Bradley vs Sadam Ali, and Bradley vs Canelo Alvarez

Outside of a fight with Herrera, none of those other fights do any numbers or garners any interest from die-hard fans let alone a casual fan

Cotto and Alvarez fighting Timmy does nothing for them so them fighting him is not happening

They trying to build up Sadam Ali, so Arum def not throwing him in there with timmy

and who's even on Golden boy roster at 147 that's worthwhile and not with haymon

None of his fights will do big numbers with him as the A-side....but that doesnt mean that Arum wont make the fights. Hell, he gave us Pac vs Bradley twice

And Bradley vs JMM 2, Bradley vs Rios, Bradley vs Provodnikov 2, Bradley vs Alvarado all are > to casual fans & hardcore fans than a Bradley vs Herrera fight. Nobody even knows Herrera. JMM, Rios, and Provodnikov all have their own fanbase.

Bradley vs Vargas/Benavidez are all fights that can and would be made though as an HBO fight and to keep Bradley busy. Besides, Bradley can still make 140, so he could become Champion again by beating either one of them

Did Arum have something to do with Harerra losing to Swift too?

JMM is looking for one last big fight/payday and that's not coming via fighting Bradley
Rios and Alvarez fight is already booked and ready to go\
Provodnikov is coming off a lost, so that takes away some luster for a rematch between the 2
Arum is trying to throw Vargas in there with PAC, even though I could see that fight being made

I've never seen Benavidez fight so idk

Long story short Arum is a shady dude..

it was a close fight that could have went anyway...It wasn't like it was clear in any of their favors

There has been strong speculation that Bradley is really frustrated with the Top Rank brand, inspite of the fact that he signed an extension with Arum because of Arum's unwillingness to work with others....

“It sucks. Honestly, it sucks. It really does,” Bradley said. “The business is changing. It used to be everybody working together. Everybody would work together and say ‘Let's make these fights. Let's make this money. Let's do this and let's do that.' Now you've got promoters trying to monopolize the whole game. Now everybody wants to be Dana White.


“I want to fight the best, and right now the best guy in the business is Mayweather.”

“I can probably never go and stick the gun up to Bob and say ‘I want that fight,'” Bradley said. “I'm not going to mess up my business doing a foolish move like that.
