Earnings/Paydays
Timothy Bradley's biggest pay day to date is the $6 million he earned fighting Manny Pacquiao on April 12th 2014. His previous biggest purse was $5 million that he earned also fighting Manny Pacquiao back in June 2012. Bradley shocked the world when he won that fight against Manny by a controversial decision. Bradley earned $4 million when he fought Manny again in April 2016.
When Bradley was asked what he planned to do with his 2012 $5 million Pacquiao payday:
"I'm putting that money away, man. I aint buying nothing. I got everything I need. I'm not buying anything. Me and my wife, we're going to put that money away so I don't ever have to come back to this game. Once I leave it, I aint never got to come back ever again."

Professional Boxing Career, 2004-2011
In his first professional boxing match, in August of 2004, Bradley knocked out Francisco Martinez. He went on to win his next two fights against Raul Nunez and Luis Medina. Bradley continued to go undefeated in 2005, beating Carlos Parra, Ramon Ortiz, Justo Almazan, Marcos Andre Rocha Costa, and Juan Yoani Cervantes in the first eight months of the year. In September, he defeated Francisco Rincon to claim the vacant WBC youth welterweight title. Bradley went on to successfully defend the title against Rafael Ortiz and Eli Addison in early 2006. That summer, he won the vacant WBC youth light welterweight title by defeating Arturo Urena via TKO. Bradley kept winning all of his bouts after that, going undefeated throughout 2006 and 2007. In May of 2008, he got his first chance at a full world title when José Luis Castillo failed to make weight in a title eliminator for the WBC light welterweight belt. Bradley ended up winning the title by defeating British boxer Junior Witter in England. He retained the WBC light welterweight title later in the year with a unanimous-decision victory over Edner Cherry.
In the spring of 2009, Bradley fought Kendall Holt to unify his WBC title and Holt's WBO title. Although his challenger put up a fierce fight, Bradley won by unanimous decision and claimed the WBO light welterweight title. At the end of the year, he successfully defended the title by defeating Lamont Peterson by unanimous decision. In 2010, Bradley made his welterweight debut against Luis Abregu, whom he beat by unanimous decision. Early the next year, he defeated Devon Alexander in a unification match to retain his WBO light welterweight title and claim the WBC light welterweight title. However, Bradley was later stripped of his WBC title after refusing to challenge Amir Khan, whom he said was too risky to fight. This led to a falling out between him and his promoter Gary Shaw. Toward the end of 2011, Bradley reentered the ring to successfully defend his WBO title by defeating Joel Casamayor via TKO in the eighth round.

Professional Boxing Career, 2012-2016
Returning to welterweight, Bradley went up against Manny Pacquiao in mid-2012 with the WBO welterweight title at stake. In a controversial split decision, Bradley ended up winning the fight, ending his challenger's seven-year undefeated streak. He went on to successfully defend his WBO welterweight title with a unanimous-decision win over Ruslan Provodnikov in the spring of 2013. Bradley retained the title later in the year by defeating Juan Manuel Márquez. His next bout, a rematch against Manny Pacquiao, took place in April of 2014. This time, Bradley was unable to keep up with his competitor, resulting in the first loss of his career and the end of his decade-long undefeated streak. In his first fight after the loss, at the end of 2014, Bradley earned a controversial split-decision draw with Diego Chaves.
Bradley bounced back from his underwhelming 2014 by defeating the then-undefeated Jessie Vargas in mid-2015. He won the fight by unanimous decision and claimed the vacant WBO interim welterweight title. The next month, after Floyd Mayweather was stripped of his WBO welterweight title, Bradley was promoted to the full-time WBO welterweight champion. He successfully defended the title in November by defeating Brandon Ríos via TKO. Bradley went on to have his final professional fight in the spring of 2016, in a third fight against Manny Pacquiao. Ultimately, Pacquiao won by unanimous decision. Bradley later announced his retirement from professional boxing in the summer of 2017. He finished his career with a record of 33-2-1 and 13 knockouts.
