That is the real question to me. Is Arum gonna make us suffer through another exhibition mismatch like with the Cotto-Margarito winner? Or maybe with somebody like Mayorga just because he may land a wild punch on Cotto?
Here's my problem with Pacquiao and Top Rank for that matter period. They just match their guys up with one predictable fight after another. And unfortunately it's like that across the board. He's got Lopez and Gamboa fighting overmatched guys.
You look at guys like Hopkins fighting a pointless rematch with Roy Jones and JMM fighting Morales and you say to yourself that those fights suck too. But at least Hopkins went on and fought Pascal who was considered the best guy in the division. And it wouldn't suprise me to see JMM fight the Bradley-Alexander winner after the Morales fight, which is really something Pac should have to do.
Either Cotto or possibly marquez if Arum decides to co promote which im sure he wont..i personally think pac should take some extra time off and wait for the mega fight..that way even if it doesnt happen arum wont have him looking foolish.
I think Bradley will win that fight and why the hell not? He's undefeated and got a belt and has a pretty proven resume.
I would love to see him fighting Bradley. For me best options after Mosley would be Berto, Marquez and Bradley. But Bradley has rematch clause with Alexander, so Timothy has to beat convincingly and force Alexander to forget about rematch. Arum won't match Pacquiao against Cotto/Margarito II winner, that doesn't make sense at all. Marquez is pretty old and looks like Arum doesn't want to make this fight. My predictions Pacquiao likely will be fighting Berto.
Mosley picks up his last payday and announces his retirement at the post fight press conference (if he makes it, not many of Mannys recent opponents have been in condition to make the post fight press conferences).
Manny lobbies for a fight with Floyd which still doesnt eventuate, as Floyd opts to fight Khan instead in a fight which he will win easily.
Instead Manny rounds out the year rematching Cotto, who beats Margarito in their own rematch. The fight will be at 155 for the WBC middleweight bronze belt.
Maybe Pac-May can be on our christmas list for 2013 =.

Yes, to the bold. One of those two. Maybe even the loser of that rematch.
how was clootey being ignored when his prior fights were at hbo?......there was claim at one time that he was ducked, but he was never ignored before pac....bradley is not more known than clottey.....he has'nt foght anyone whos as famous as pac, margo, cotto or to be so...clottey has, it aint rocket science that when you fight famous people , the fame somewhat gets rubbed on you.....bradley has'nt had that luxury yet!
Yes David Kamau was so famous.

Prior to Pacquiao, how many fights did Clottey have on HBO?
He was already ignored before hand that is why he was going to fight in Fox Sports. The only reason HBO went with it, Cowboys stadium went with it was cuz of Pac.
Bradley is more known, he has more of a fan base too in Cali. I'm not even sure he even has a fan base in NY.

Not more credible than fight tax records of the Texas Boxing Regulation, is when coming to tickets sold.
Go read back if you don't think you're reaching and stooping very low with your comments.
yeah , like boxing fans would ask the ever boxing regualtion fornews about ppv results......lol.....
i just did and you never proved your point at all which is that bradley is bigger draw than clottey was..........
never...that is a good point too coz like someone already said , clottey has fought lots of well known fighters already.....cotto, margo, jdah,pac etc...bradley has not......there is no basis at all that he'd bring better numbers vs pac than clotey did,..i mean none , zip, zero, nada.....
with the way clottey performed vs pac, im not surprised he's being ignored at this point!

But, when has Bradley ever fought in Cowboys stadium especially against somebody like Pac?So to have that one fight compared is not even fair...And, that is now you see who is more well known...
Look at the events they headlined as the A-side and look at their numbers...Again look at Clottey on HBO as the A-side. What is his ratings? Has even ever been the A-side on an HBO show? Who was the A-side between him and Judah? No. Was he the A-side against Chico? No...Bradley has been the A-side against Abregu, Peterson, Cherry, Holt, Campbell. Those were shows that he headlined on networks. Clottey never did that. To say that he is a bigger draw than Bradley or that he has more fans than Bradley is F'ing ridiculous. HBO don't even want him on their network and Showtime is not running to get him either....However, Showtime would be happy to have Bradley back.

so the biggest sports network not a credible source?....stooping that low?....why , becuase i said clottey was a bigger draw than bradley is?...pleeease!

ok , when we talk about whos the bigger draw, were simply talking about numbers right both ppv and crowd attendance?...the clottey fight did'nt top the cotto fight nor the margo fight ppv...the cotto fight was in a place not big enough to hold such...in the margo fight, people were still too hesitant to support margs after the handwraps incident , add the fact that the prior fight was lame with clottey outing..i will never claim clottey is bigger than cotto or margo....this is only about bradley and clottey is it not?.....

So you would take ESPN word over the documents of TSAC?
:lol1:
Wow.....
I wonder how much lower you would stoop.

How?
Again I have answered everyone of your stupid ass questions. And, you have yet answered any of mine.
How is Floyd compared to Clottey=Clottey compared to Bradley?
Again by your stupid ass logic Clottey>Marg>Cotto>that possibly will be over Mosley in bringing fans in.
Bradley has brought in as the A-side 2-4,000 fans. And, has headlined been the A-side to HBO. When has Clottey ever done that?
ok , when we talk about whos the bigger draw, were simply talking about numbers right both ppv and crowd attendance?...the clottey fight did'nt top the cotto fight nor the margo fight ppv...the cotto fight was in a place not big enough to hold such...in the margo fight, people were still too hesitant to support margs after the handwraps incident , add the fact that the prior fight was lame with clottey outing..i will never claim clottey is bigger than cotto or margo....this is only about bradley and clottey is it not?.....
still stickin' 2 that clottey a bigger draw then bradley theory huh?
and how many fights has HBO/Showtime setup 4 clottey this coming new year? any fights 4 clottey scheduled? i mean he's the bigger draw so what in the hell is HBO doing conducting business with Bradley? You know promoting him as the A side fighter?
Do you not understnd that Clottey is such a big draw that he don't need HBO nor Showtime. he is not begging them for a date, they're begging him to have him on their network...Clottey is so big that he would create his own network and just show his fights and run HBO and Showtime out of business.
