Can't stand the hate Bradley is getting

[prinzemanspopa]

His style and lack of power is grossly offensive to me.I don't hold anything against powder-puff punchers.I see someone like Malignaggi,who obviously doesn't have much of a punch,yet he at least tries to put some pop into his punches.And just the way he throws his punches(that pathetic excuse for a jab,those winging hooks...just ugly as hell to watch).He's always been a solid all-around boxer,but his punching technique is severely lacking,which is just odd to me for a boxer at that level.


I don't have any strong opinions on the Pacquiao fight.I don't see him winning more than four rounds there,but Bradleys style is such is that he's probably doing more than what appears on first look.And it won't have been the first time others have been mislead by shameless cheerleading commentary from the truly vile and appalling Jim Lampley.

Do you think the Pacquiao fight will have increased his profile to such an extent that he could actually fill the front row at his next fight?

How can he not? I mean he made over a million for the Alexander fight, like 1.2 million for the Casa fight and 5 million for the Pac fight. He isn't going to get paid anything less than a million...........I don't have proof right now but I'm about 99% sure he will make in that range.

I'm sure he will do OK, he has been on a PPV undercard and headlined a highly controversial PPV........he will have plenty of "angry" people who will show up to watch in hopes of him losing. Then all the people that have seen him on TV before that support him.

Arum builds stars......he knows how to do it and he is on his way to getting Tim there.

LOL, nah, I'm just saying that based off his most recent paydays, I can't see him taking a step backwards at this juncture. I didn't take any offense to what you said or anything, I didn't mean it to come off like that.

Compared to Pac...it's not a bigpayday..compared with the averages he gets......all his fight with pacquia did was smear his image...how much do you think his next fight does?...not much...but he does not have boxing by the balls...he's a forgettable fighter...
