He hasn't crossed over into the realms of being a celebrity.
Also beating pac made people hate him.

In the cut
It's like a wrestler getting pushed to the moon without the fans giving 2 shyts. His fights are boring he as dull as dishwater he just has nothing going for him that will make him a crossover or even big boxing star. Some guys have it some don't it's always been that way. I have never had anyone come to me and say " Hey man can't wait to see that Bradley fight this weekend" he's just
Bradley is the Alberto Del Rio of Boxing
Alberto Del Rio?
Timothy Del Rio
Thats true as hell breh
+ rep
I respect his willingness to be the best, but he's just a boring fighter breh and just doesn't have "it".
If you're gonna not be a trash talker, at least have amazing boxing skills or KO power....and he doesn't. Hes still on the same level as Peter Quillin.....and he's had the opportunity to build a much bigger by having his last 4 fights be against Manny 2x, JMM, and Prov. It still didn't happen.
Something about him is just not engaging where the hardcore fan & casual fan agree on him being just boring
There's nothing he does great. He doesn't KO people. He doesn't give boxing clinics. He doesn't talk trash. He's not on Twitter or in the media face in between fights. He's just "blah" for a lack of better words. Hes not loved or hated by fans. Hes just here.

Bradley has had a great career. He is a star within the boxing community. He's never gonna be a mainstream. That goes for most boxers anyway.
If your wondering why he isn't a PPV star, he doesn't have the style or personality.
As I've said before, I don't know why this question pops up, because it is damn near impossible to become a ppv superstar.

I consider him to be somewhat mainstream, but i think if his wife and him released a sex tape he'd be a mega star

He aint been in the game long enough and hasn't put in enough work... nikkas wanna be stars overnight and it dont work like that
nah he's been fighting for 10 years..thats long enough...his resume is straight but he's just not a marketable fighter unless he wants to have GOAT level brawls like he did against ruslan for the rest of his career
Or, he needs to become a heel
I swear if Bradley had Roger/Floyd Mayweather or Kevin Cunningham in his corner, and let them talk to the press for him, he'd be much more marketable.
Dude's too humble and has been fighting with Diaz for too long. If he had uncle or Sr in his corner though I think he'd improve. When he went mayweather shell against JMM he was rocking him(clean flush punches) and was barely getting hit. That JMM fight was bradleys one and only chance to become a much bigger star. He had the fukk the fight if there's no testing thing going, homeless beard and was telling Bob idgaf no fight no test--but that all went away.Or, he needs to become a heel

But how can y'all not heavily respect the dude below.
Also when he was on his whole "Floyd is scared of Pacquiao" kick, plus the arrogance leading up to Manny vs Bradley 2 he had made me looking like
He needs to be a heel, because he's still a very good fighter (even though he's sloppy at times....he still comes out with the W).
If he talked more trash outside the ring, he would bring in more viewers. For real, he's STILL the 3rd best Welterweight after Floyd and Manny going by resume.....he has to keep in the media/press more often in between fights instead of going Ghost (don't even ask me how)
Bradley is 4-1 against Manny, JMM, Alexander, and Ruslan.....
That alone trumps any victories by anyone else at 147 and he's a firm #3 at 147 IMO
Once he starts talking that shyt and letting nikkas know that he's not to be played with, the bandwagon will start filling up. Right now, he's half humble/half arrogant....he needs to come all the way over to the dark side and go "Adrien Broner" on future opponents
He at least has the resume to shut people up
