Bradley's Nike sponsorship is proof that Arum cashed Pacquiao out

First of all I don't even like Pacquiao, but damn there is conspiracy in the air. Does anyone find it weird that Bradley was being sponsored by Nike that night? Pacquiao came out praying with his family and didn't even kneel on his corner during the intro. Arum clearly cashed out Pacquiao knowing he was probably gonna announce retirement after the fight, cuz Floyd is in jail. This forces Pacquiao into a rematch on November? Like Bradley predicted? No one will ever pay for a Bradley fight the casual fans had no attraction toward his style. Arum wasn't even mad?

Jeez you conspiracy theorists are pretty effin dumb ... did it ever occur you you guys that Manny Pacquiao ALSO has a nike deal? look at his trunks for christ's sake http://www.supersport.com/gallery.aspx?id=21091 3rd Picture ... and yes Pacquiao has been with Nike a while now come on people think a little "But it does look a lil fishy." how? Nike is the biggest athletic and apparel company in the world. Tim Bradley is heading into his biggest fight vs another nike sponsored fighter in Pacquiao ... so with Pacquiao already affiliated w Nike, why not have the other guy too? With both main eventers rocking the swoosh, think of all the added exposure Nike created for themselves, they don't just get recognition from Pac wearing Nike, but Tim Bradley too that's not fishy, it's good business this again? so this is FAILED "CONSPIRACY" hahaha well it's also a failed conspiracy because Pacquiao is with Nike too. If you want to plant some kind of conspiracy about Nike wanting Bradley to win over Pac, fine by me ... but where's your proof? , I can't honestly remember a fight in which he didn't wear NIKE, so I think they already had somewhat of a relationship with Bradley vs Holt http://www.google.com/imgres?q=Bradley+vs+holt&hl=en&gbv=2&biw=1366&bih=639&tbm=isch&tbnid=1igDjZMwKUNu1M:&imgrefurl=http://www.********boxing.com/news.php%3Fp%3D19314%26more%3D1&docid=5nsKrWjDdlvzTM&imgurl=http://www.********boxing.com/images/Bradley_vs_Holt_IMG_1851.JPG&w=430&h=287&ei=FDfVT4OjOouo8ATc39nZAw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=293&vpy=153&dur=499&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=129&ty=91&sig=100986710962260068529&page=1&tbnh=131&tbnw=175&start=0&ndsp=19&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0,i:75 and vs Witter Bradley wore Adidas boxing shoes .. so last fight w Adidas according to pictures was vs Kendall Holt and that was 09, since then Nike's **TS should get red K for making such a dumb topic BOTH Pacquiao and Bradley are signed by Nike, how is it a conspiracy again? to me it looks like a very large brand, wanting its logo on both fighters in a big time fight

:rofl::rofl: but seriously what a ****ed up decision.... Absolutely. I am not a big fan of Pac, but I had him a pretty decisive winner. The whole thing stinks really, I just found the TS reasoning to be ridiculous.

Top Rank is the one that got him the Nike deal. I wonder why they didn't get Clottey a Nike deal. AGAIN, Bradley been wearing Nike for YEARS, I can't honestly remember a fight in which he didn't wear NIKE, so I think they already had somewhat of a relationship with Bradley

this again? Once Again, Bradley been wearing Nike For Years, he likely had a Fight To Fight Sponsorship Deal, they probably just went ahead and made it an OFFICIAL DEAL so this is FAILED "CONSPIRACY" hahaha

Arum is indeed cashing in I didn't realize Nike was Bradley's sponsor last night...here is my take!! Arum is forcing Manny's hand as he declines?. What I think is happening is that Arum fixed this so Bradley could win, Arum wants to host the Manny/bradley rematch to get paid again, then win or lose cash out Manny by getting him to fight mayweather... Look at the numbers...... Manny fought last night... Him and Bradley got paid.. Arum hosts the rematch, both fighters get paid again....Win or lose Manny then gets to fight Mayweather, Arum gets paid again big time...Manny will probably retire after that... But it doesn't stop there... Arum now gets Bradley to fight Mayweather bills it as the only fighter to beat Manny... Arum gets paid yet again.... Arum is a smart business man, remember Manny & Bradley work for him so he is trying to make sure he gets what he can out them before they are done.... I am a Mayweather fan and do think Mayweather will beat Manny but last night from what I saw last night Manny did win.. I want to watch the fight again just to see... Manny's left hand was very busy but again those flurries he was throwing a lot were being blocked... Just on a side note, they say Bradley's feet are swollen and twisted up and Manny couldn't finish him... Leaves me wondering.. I'm looking for educated responses, keep this stuff real!!!!! If your a nut hugger of any kind go hug a nut and don't mix up in big man discussions!!!!

your retiring theory makes sense. if you could back it up with hard evidence you make a good case. fact of the matter is that pac-man clearly won. so who cares. move on pac-man to next opponent and whoop there ass too. when pre-madonna gets outs now I can only imagine the wage demand he'll be asking now.
