Abuse after Pacquiao fight nearly drove me to suicide, says Bradley ahead of rematch

[Larry the boss]

And yet he still thought he won up to this day.

Shakespeare tragedy lol

and you think you making threads on a boxing forum will change his mind??? they are fighting again in 3 damn days,stop crying and just enjoy the fight...what is wrong with ya'll? no matter how much you cry and complain it will change nothing,not the history books or Bradleys mind

[CLUE]

Top of the sport, health from all accounts, wife, kids, family, making millions, and you thought about suicide? Hope he looked more into whatever issues he has, because that does not sound right. Especially with getting hit in the head like he will for many more years to come.

I call BS. Timmys just trying to garner some sympathy and fans before the fight. Take your own life because somebody said something mean to you? lol.

I don't think Bradley is trying to make people feel bad for him. A lot of athletes are just like Bradely. Yes he's being very dramatic and I don't believe for a second he was thinking about suicide. It all comes down to motivate themselves mentally. Nobody likes me so I'm going to show everybody that I'm the man...etc It's part of his preparation to focus on negative things to fire himself up.

I don't think Bradley is being overly dramatic, and I feel that individuals on this site have an inability to put things into context. Most people would feel incredibly depressed, if they received nothing but criticism after the biggest accomplishment in their career. I know for a fact that I'd crumble if when accepting my degree I was booed, told I didn't deserve it and then had random **** heads on the street saying, ''Hand you degree to someone who deserves it''.

Personal issues effect both sides of the spectrum, you can surround yourself with riches but you eventually become use to that lifestyle. The feeling a hobo gets from finding a dollar on the floor is no different than a millionaire hitting the jackpot at a casino.

Bradley's always talking himself up because he is still hurt about not receiving any merit from such "win" and was embarrassed for claiming he won clear.

Reality is that he knows deep in his heart he didn't won that fight and this time he feels even more pressure than in the first fight to prove he can beat Manny and that will be his downfall, maybe more clear this time around.

Just my two cents. Bump this if I'm wrong.

Dude stop being so melodramatic. Sound like your girlfriend Floyd. First of all, I didn't write this thread. It came from a sports writer who interviewed imbalanced Bradley.

Secondly, this thing that was written about Bradley's comment is important to find out a fighters psyche.

That said, Bradley is not stable alright. Saying he thought of suicide. Dang. 1st world problems ain't that a biiatch.

His tough attitude is all a facade. What I see now is a weak minded Bradley. Who will fold when he realizes it when he gets outclasses by Pacquiao he will fold easily or might even commit suicide if he loses bad in this fight. I hope not.

[Spoon23]

Bradley did deserve it. He did not handle the situation very well at all. To be that blunt and delusional about his win and refusal to acknowledge that most people simply thought Pacquiao won was pathetic. He brought it on himself yet he acts like the victim in this pathetic sob story. SUICIDE? Good lord how unspeakably lame.

You pretty much nailed it. Lame.

1st world problems. He considered suicide. Brain damage anyone?

[Spoon23]

Bradley isn't the brightest guy.

Tim, it was you who caused the backlash.

YOU.

Your dishonesty.

Your mouth.



Sort of amazing how thick he is.

So thick that in 24/7 he actually said, " I have no idea what's wrong with people treating me like that. I don't know?"

Now that's thick
