That\u2019s it. They got to go through the motions. This was already set up well before this was even announced,\u201d said Tim Bradley on his Youtube channel.<\/p>\n<p>Bradley said he had no interest in being part of the launch conversation because, in his view, the outcome had already been determined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody saying, Tim, why you ain\u2019t there? One, I wasn\u2019t invited. Two, if I was invited, I wasn\u2019t going to go because I know already. I\u2019m not stupid,\u201d said Bradley.<\/p>\n<p>He also pointed to Dana White waiting for the right time and right structure before making a serious move into boxing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Dana White decided to come in the game, it was already set up. It\u2019s already over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bradley described TKO as a highly organized force that traditional boxing interests may struggle to match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese people that you dealing with TKO, they the coldest in the game. They smart people. You can\u2019t mess with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then turned his focus to fighters, warning them to maximize earnings while current paydays remain available because he expects the business model to change over time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet your money right now because the future of boxing ain\u2019t nobody gonna want to be fighting for no damn minimum wage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1777095857_290_hqdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bradley said the announcement itself was only a final step in a process he believes had been settled&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":627111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-627110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=627110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/627111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=627110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=627110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=627110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
