read some article where bradley is talking about his muscle mass and how he is bigger than pacquaio and i couldnt stop laughing...how many KOs does dude have at 140? and he certainly didnt look like a killer at 147 against abregu. it so obvious how this fight will turn out, hes not gonna able to hurt or bully pacman and then hes gonna get hit and run for 12 rounds in a mosley like performance. hes a good fighter but he needs to stay at 140 where he can beat guys like khan. im not paying for this fight.
bradley is going to pull a mosley or clottey as soon as he gets hit by a pac's combo ... business first right? why fight pac when he can just grab the money bag, and run for the hills.
Exactly!!! Theres nothing else to think! After his "What if I lose To Khan" comment, I cant take this guy serious.
He will probably try and make a stand, he will get hammered by Pacquiao and will say fvck this, and run the rest of the fight just to say he didnt got GTFO by Pacquiao!!
That's right Bradley, make em think that you're gonna stand & trade. Then on fightnight box & use the ring to perfection. Watch as roach begs for a ko, Pacman looks confused then his team say he had cramps yet again after he wins some bogus ud where everyone thought he got beat soundly.
It is not part of Arums agenda to turn Bradley into Top Ranks next cash cow simply because Arum being the business man he is will know Bradley simply doesn't have what it takes to be a huge PPV star he lacks the fundamental basics that previous PPV starts posses.
He doesn't have charisma.
He doesn't have an exciting style.
He doesn't have Knock out power.
He doesn't have a fan base to build upon (not even popular in his home town)
Name me a PPV star in boxing history that has lacked all of those attributes?
you guys will be sorely surprised, this isn't a Golden Boy fighter Manny is up against it's actually the guy that can keep the Top Rank ship alive when Manny goes home, it wouldn't benefit Arum to have Bradley lose this fight if anything he will pull strings and get that Draw done. I'm betting 100$ on a Draw, this is a likely outcome because neither one will get knocked out but it's not in Arum's benefit to have either one lose.
Sorry but Bradley stilll need a lot of things to do to his career beside beating Pac or draw to have a mass appeal. Look at Morales or Marquez who has a win and draw against Pacquaio but still cant pull a million ppv buy on their own.
I been trying to tell all my friends for a while now that's why this fight is taking place anyways, to introduce Top Rank's newest cash cow! Arum would rather not have Bradley lose this one because he's the future over there. As far as the mass appeal goes, Pac's mass appeal comes from him being marketed as the man to beat Floyd so I can see people losing a little love for him if Bradley appears more threatening to Floyd than Pac.. I think some feelings are going to be hurt because this fight is 50/50 and im being honest when i say 50/50 is generous to Pac in this fight.
Bradley hasn't got the best punching power but physically he is a strong fighter.
Pacquiao's gonna have to work hard to get a victory over Bradley, no doubt about it.
He is bigger and stronger. Not more powerful, when it comes to punching power. But he's bigger and stronger.
this is a good enough answer ...
Pac IMHO, size wise is more suited at 140 than 147 and wont be giving too much size advantage...

I'll take that bet if you're so confident that it will be a draw.
I'll bet you but honestly I'm not going to bet unless it's with casino odds, I give odds and I take them too. for instance I'm giving 5 to 1 on Mayweather over Cotto, MY 50 Million to YOUR 10 Million because that is what the odds are, therefore to get this bet done with me we will have to impose the odds offered on a Draw in the Casino which I'm sure will be 35 to 1 odds which I'm sure you wont give me.
This though is the only way I'm betting from now on I'm using odds. I just bet 100$ on the Knicks to win the 2011-2012 NBA Championship to win back 3000$. Jeremy Lin is exactly what we needed, by himself he was able to do what Amare and Carmelo couldn't do, he is literally the reason why we are winning because without his input we would be on probably a 10+ game losing streak.
my point is that I will no longer place wagers the old fashioned way it has to be at casino odds because that's what I realize makes this fun. it's all points though so who cares anyway

Arum can make him gain that "mass appeal", think about it Timothy Bradley right now is willing to face ANYONE from 140lbs-154lbs and he is an American undefeated fighter, there is A LOT of smart match making that can be done there and with the right promotion Arum can have the whole world screaming Bradley in no time.
you have to remember the only reason why Pacquiao is hot right now is because people pick him to beat Floyd, if Bradley beats Manny then people wont give a **** about Manny no more and hop on Bradly because the bigger picture is people care more about Floyd losing than Manny winning, all Arum has to do is make this Draw happen and get paid for it, get Mayweather-Pacquiao done and when Mayweather defeats Pacquiao bring out Bradley-Mayweather as the next big thing, that's 3 multimillion dollar pay days for Top Rank Promotions
let us not forget Brandon Rios, Mike Jones, Yuriorkis Gamboa etc are all potential super fights for Bradley as well as against each other. in the end of the day a fight is a fight, fighters can either win or lose and that applies to anyone Pacquiao and Mayweather included but if you ask me the skill set of Bradley will be too much. the only monkey wrench I can see stopping my vision from happening is a No Contest or a Disqualification in which case I'll lose all my money unless I place a minimum bet on those too
Bradley can win. We're gonna have to wait and see.
yes he can win, but hes gonna have to grind it out and muzzle pacquaio like how marquez did. hes not gonna KO anybody.

I'm betting 100$ on a Draw, this is a likely outcome because neither one will get knocked out but it's not in Arum's benefit to have either one lose.
he can have 2 of his cash cows square off and milk a pay day out of that, then preserve Bradley for future big paydays by getting him a Draw and even though Pacquiao-Mayweather might take a hit he can always say to people "see Floyd is playing games and waiting until Manny is getting old" and have all the back lash of it fall on Floyd.
I sincerely either predict a Bradley win or a Draw yo you guys don't know what's about to happen, Bradley gonna shock you guys. win, lose or draw he will shock you but IMHO I believe he will shock you all in a win, then it will be Bradley-Mayweather and Pacquiao-Marquez IV
