Why it's important for Tim Bradley to perform well against Pacquiao

First and foremost, I'm not saying that Tim has to win (realistically I don't expect the judges to allow him to win a decision) but he needs to have a good showing. 1. PPV fights generally don't live up to the hype. It's nice to get your money's worth and watch a good fight. 2. If Tim performs well on the big stage his fan base could increase dramatically. A young up and coming elite American boxer will bring more attention to the sport. 3. If the fight is competitive it could set up a potential rematch. Let's face it, Floyd and Manny will never fight each other. Who else is there for Manny to fight other than Petersen if he beats Khan? Manny isn't going to fight Sergio or Khan and what's the point of another Marquez rematch? 4. Floyd and Manny are both on their way out of the sport and new stars need to be born.

It's important for Bradley because it will take him to that next level. There's no doubt Bradley will train 100% for this fight. It's possibly the moment that will define his career.

the biggest misconception is that if somehow bradley wins he automatically becomes a star and boom you have your next ppv seller.... hate to break it to you but its not going to happen , regardless if he wins... there's a thing called marketing, and bradley just doesnt have it.... he's as dull and boring outside the ring as he is inside...... I'm a big fan of his, and I agree. He doesn't really have a selling quality as a PPV star IMO. I like the guy... but he just doesn't stand out. Mayweather got personality and Pac has that good guy charm.

if bradley comes forward and bangs with manny, it could be a short night. I do expect him to go wild at some points during the fight and go in, but he won't do that the entire fight.

Yes, boxing definetly needs a new star especially with MMA competing with them. If he beats Manny he'll be a household name like Manny.
