Believe it when I see it, and who would get the ppv hbo is still upset with mayweather leaving for showtime and golden boy taking its fighters to showtime top rank vs. golden boy and hbo vs. showtime
This fight will put all people to sleep without a single punch landed to each other.
I don't think so, Tim Bradley fights with a chip on his shoulder and it gets him in trouble. I believe like anyone else Manny beat Tim. But, Tim fighting Ruslan showed he can go, then his decisive win over Juan. He takes on Manny again and puts on a Juan-like performance, the money will be there for Floyd.
If Pacman wins against Rios, he'll be mandatory with Tim Bradley. The fight will happen after that, but everyone knows that Bradley's contract is almost up, so if he can win another big fight Mayweather would give him the call for a PPV. The whole fight game surrounds Mayweather and the one with most money potential.

There is so many obstacles to this I can't see it happening. Who will air, HBO, Showtime? It would have to be Showtime because that's who Mayweather have the big deal with. How would HBO feel about this? Are we going to be watching 24/7 for the build up or All Access? On paper this would be a very good fight. Mayweather would get credit for beating a legitimate contender. The only problem would be Bradley's fan base. I'm not sure if he has enough a following to make this a true blockbuster PPV event.
Bob Arum has to know that any talks of a potential bout between Floyd Mayweather, Jr and Timothy Bradley is going to have to be a joint co-promotion. Al Haymon is not going to grant exclusive promotional rights to Top Rank for the services of his client Floyd Mayweather. He must be willing to sit down with Golden Boy Promotions at the bargaining table and negotiate in good faith.
In addition, this fight should be much easier to make as opposed to the Pacquiao fight because Timothy is undefeated and has more of an upside to him than Manny Pacquiao. Moreover, blood testing and money wouldn't be an issue since Bradley isn't nowhere near the draw or have the fan base that Manny Pacquiao has.
Timothy is a very humbled fighter who just wants to compete against the best in the game. So sharing the ring with the sports best p4p fighter Floyd Mayweather, wouldn't be hard at all. As a matter of fact it would be a great honor and privilege for him.
It's been years both parties have their lame excuses but it's clear Mayweather/GBP doesn't want any part with TR and neither does TR. It sucks because so many great fights could be made.
It's done to death, we should all move on until some miracle happens and the fight actually gets signed and that's for either Pac or Bradley.
It's still a decision win for Mayweather, he's retiring with that 0.
That's fair...and it is a shame because Timmy is fast enough of hand and foot to give Floyd a contest, as is Manny.
I don't think it's that stupid it all. How many times since this fight was first slated has Roach said "I just need Manny to see what i see" At least 3 times by my reckoning.

That's the stupidest ***** I've ever heard. Manny don't care who he is in the ring with, win lose or draw.
The only chance Bradley or Pac have to making a Mayweather fight is leaving TR.

The reason he is willing to work with Mayweather to make Bradley is because Tim wants it, has asked for it, and is no doubt hassling Bob about it. Manny on the other hand..........

That is BS , utter BS , they knew about the testing in the very first draft that was sent to them and Roach said he was fine with it at the time , they started changing their views on the testing after Floyd agreed to everything else including 50/50 , ring size , glove size and a 10 mill weight penalty quit telling your lies like it means something , you cant prove the way your putting it as in the timing of things , because your BS did not happen !
First draft?? The testing was known about in late 2009, any claims otherwise are complete lies. There is a vid of Roach talking about it and calling them "scared"
I really hope that this fight can get done, because in my opinion Timothy Bradley presents the biggest challenge to Floyd Mayweather, Jr's undefeated record at this current time. However, I am not naive to the point of knowing that this bout is just merely a fight on most boxing fan's wish list.
he was willing to work with Mayweather to make Pacquiao happen too but Mayweather said "hell no".
If the Bradley - Mayweather fight happens we'll know that Mayweather ducked Pacquiao

This is the fight to make in my opinion. I think Bob is sincere when he says he would negotiate for this one. Tim Bradley is nowhere near the draw that Manny Pacquiao was or is, and he's nowhere near the perceived threat to Mayweather that Pacquiao was too. Floyd has expressed interest in a Bradley fight in the past, they should make it happen.
Smart guy, he knew USADA was shady even before it became clear to all. What's Floyd's problem with using another agency anyway? Why USADA or nothing?
You got to be a kid to hold onto the rubbish you do , and the weird part about it is you know deep down inside that Manny ducked the fight in the first instance , the proof is there no good denying it you look like a 1st class fanboy .
Who knew USADA was shady?
Pac must have had suspicions, well justified. It's like you're playing cards with someone insisting on using the deck they brought. USADA has an amazing record of sketchiness for having been in the sport for not long at all, and having prevented ZERO cheaters from entering the ring
HeroBando will claim Floyd is ducking Bradley within the next 6 months.
I don't think so, I don't get on the random ducking train else you'd be pulling quotes already. I even refrain from the GGG duck talk unless provoked
