Tim Bradley does not understand how Edgar Berlanga and Hamzah Sheeraz are millionaires before they even won a world title during their careers.
Early wealth impedes ambition

Two world champions can be seen especially on the bottom map. In other words, the fighters who will probably never capture belts and are seen as hype lanes by fans, are in the main meeting, while the talented champions receive underscor treatment.
This card provides an upside down situation and sends a strong message that Belts no longer matter. It is now going to be about cheap entertainment. Sheeraz and Berlanga have a limited shelf life, which is used as superficial entertainment, because none of the top-Rung competition can beat.
Bradley believes that fighters who become millionaires early in their careers without winning world titles ever. The ambition is gone, and we were never so good to begin with.
Berlanga (23-1, 18 COs) reportedly makes a seven-digit wallet for this fight. Sheeraz is likely to get a similar amount, which means they will be paid like world champions. Both failed when they recently tried to win belts, with limited ability.
Berlanga, Sheeraz: Millionaires On-title
“As Berlanga thinks Sheeraz is like the last man he fought, I don’t think he’s like that. I don’t believe in either of these guys, ‘Tim Bradley said channel. “I have a hard time understanding guys who became millionaires before winning a world championship. It’s not going well. ‘
It started with Canelo Alvarez Cherry who chose Berlanga by choosing him above the deserving David Banavidez and David Morrell to defend by in September.
Berlanga got a massive payday of $ 10 million for that battle, all without defeating any quality contenders. He got the fight because he built a record on the opposition, and he was popular in one small part of New York in Brooklyn.
Ryan Garcia: Instagram up to millions
“Look at Ryan Garcia. Tell me a fighter who becomes a millionaire before they become world champion, and they become something,” says Bradley.
Ryan Garcia’s popularity comes from Instagram, and he transferred it into a world title shot against Gerrvonta Davis, which was seen as a cherry by the tank. Garcia made millions out of that fight, as well as his matches against Devin Haney and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero.
‘You will try Shezaz to keep his distance, move left and right. He will have to catch and time Berlanga on his way. Use its height and its reach. Move your head. He stands upright, ‘says Bradley.
