#timothybradley #terencecrawford #floydmayweather #coachmalachiwilliams #coachmalachi #trumediatodayusaboxing
Timothy Bradley tells the story on why him and Floyd Mayweather never fought each other. Money prevented the fight from happening.
I made a business decision and resigned with Top Rank. Floyd never wired me the money to secure the fight.
Timothy Bradley explains how fights get made on the financial side of boxing before the fight is made.
It can take years for fighters to get paid from the backend of PPV's.
He educates fans on what does it mean to be the A-Side in boxing.

Money would need go in escrow account instead of a personal account. Fighters get paid after a fight, not before. The money can be secured and held during negotiations but it still has to go into escrow account. Purse can still be negotiated for lower or higher amount before the fight

Bradley came out his mouth saying Top Rank don't do business with Haymon. Then turns around and says EJ is ducking Bud. Bradley let Arum make him rich and that's why the fight never happened. Arum wants to be the only one to touch the money. That's why Top Rank don't co promote the big events.
@gregoryquattlebaum5435
Жыл бұрын
All of the promoters have the same mentality for real, Arum and Haymon have issues but sometimes they get something done on smaller fights. The fight never happens because Floyd could take an easier fight and not have any drama with Arum since he also did not want Arum to make any more money off his name. Part of the reason that the Floyd vs Manny fight took 5 years was because Floyd hated Arum and did not want him to benefit from this mega fight that got stale.
Tim is so honest. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I love the honesty. Lol.

So true
The network has to send the PPV#. Audits are done in so many places because there are so many companies involved. Every cable system has shareholders. Showtime and HBO etc. have shareholders. The promoters have partners. The tax man also is monitoring the PPV#. The sanctioning bodies also demand the ppv# to determine their favored promotors and they get a % when its a title fight. The venues sometime get a cut. Tim doesn't know because he never took back end money.

I favor Errol Spence all day everyday. The man ain't Ducked nobody got in a damn near fatal car wreck and came back and fought a top contender no warm up fight nada. I respect and love Crawford as a fighter/boxer I just feel he picked and choose competition for easier fights. While Errol seems to always try to fight the best options. He Crawford is getting washed by Spence when and if they meet. More than solid chin and defense. I feel they offensively and defensively underrate him. And when he starts pounding away at Crawford w/ body shots and landing that beautiful jab Crawford won't be able to overcome that insane type of pressure. Never seen a fighter that pressures and breaks down opponents like he does beside my favorite fighter Marvin Marvolus Hagler. R.i p
FINALLY some specific insight on how the business end works...Of course all the Spence fanboys are going to ignore it in regards to the Crawford negotiations though. 😄

you can google too if you are really interested, a lot of this information and more is out there plus broadcast contracts, fighter contracts and more.
Tim is bright. He was on top of his business. Wasn't just sittin around playing slow, or having someone or a go between look after his affairs. He was bright enough to comprehend the total business cycle of boxing. So he rolled up his sleeves, and got engaged. He's close to brilliant, and people who give him a bad name for saying this or that, aren't able to comprehend his level of thinking. So if you don't understand something, you start thinking - he's whack or a turn-coat uncle tom. Don't downgrade the brother because he's got his shit together. Pat him on the back and tell him he's a positive example - for all of us

I agree with some of what Tim Bradley on somethings but when it come up about Mayweather fighting Conner McGregor. Yes it was a sanction fight and he did have a boxing licenses as well, but I understand that Conner wasn’t a full-time committed boxer. But if the boxing sanction bodies acknowledge he is qualify him to be a challenger , he is entitle to face Mayweather when he agree. Authority according to the U.S. Army definition; is when a group of people agree that one person is given authority . But I understand stand why that would be questionable but it does count on his boxing record as 50-0 . In my opinion , Bradley is bias when it come to Top Rank because as he stated ,’’they made him rich’'.

So the Promoter has deals directly with networks like Showtime, PBC, ESPN , etc. The Promoter gets a percentage of the - Fighter's Purse - PPV sales - Network sales - the backend money from DirecTv, Verizon, Dish, ComCast, Cox Cable etc. - Promoter gets 50-51% of $102 Million from this Gervonta vs Ryan fight at $85 / 1.2 Million buys - Promoter keeps the gate sales from those high tickets sales as well. Celebrities were paying $50,000 on average, and the place seats 50,000 butts and its packed past capacity. See why Floyd started Mayweather Promotions after he beat De La Hoya and many fighters followed suit soon after. (i.e. Super Judah Promotion, DSG (Danny Garcia) Promotion, GTD Promotion, About Billions Promotion, etc
So Tim wanted them to send him 4 mil 1st how in the world would he think anyone would do that?? Contract that's how it works sign then u fight and get paid
Floyd was flushing Bradley in dominate style, and Floyd was the A side, so I don't believe Bradley was calling the shots on the money back then with a fight with Floyd🤔🤦🏿♂️
