I have a question.

found this on net, see whether it makes sense... It's because the gravitational potential at infinity is considered to be zero. And gravitational potential at a point is the energy required to bring unit mass from infinity to that point. Since work is done by the field due to the isolated mass, the gravitational potential is negative.
