"Nah, Pacs unbeaten 7 year record cant be lost by that decision. Its the principle. Pac will give Brad another chance, Pac is always gentlemanly that way.
If Bradley wants a rematch he needs to give Pac his title back. If bradley dont give the title back, Pac dont need to give Bradley another chance as the world can see who won for themselves"
If he wants the belt badly enough, he can rematch bradley in the ring. Unfortunately giving the belt back doesn't erase the L on his record. He can only official avenge that loss in the ring. Otherwise bradley has other options, he could go for a fight against Mayweather. if he somehow beats him, for many people that will go a long way to improving his legacy despite this stain on it now.
"
The early numbers are the accurate numbers. The longer they wait to release them, the longer they get to manipulate them.
1.1 sounds about right."
HBO is a part of a publicly traded company, they could run afoul of the SEC(not to mention the IRS) very quickly if they cook numbers in their 'final report' of ppv numbers. I'll take the 'final ppv' number that they publicly release to stockholders/investors as a relatively accurate number.
Put up your points to back up your point
If anyone feels strongly enough that Mayweather-Pac won't happen on March 13th. I'll bet all of my points(yeah not much lol), against that same number from someone else(I have a meager supply anyway, what is there to lose). :boxing:
He'll have four months in between fights, he's had an average of about 4 months between fights in multiple 'years' of his career, including just this last year. Even if he has a perforated ear drum(which there has been no statement from a medical professional on), the amount of time needed to heal it if it doesn't require surgery(which again there have been no evidence that it has) is usually just a few weeks (there's a link to it on the mayo clinic website, that I don't have enough posts to link to).
If there are any other injuries, then state them, but if he's medically clear to fight (and he wasn't medically suspended for that long), he can take the rest of this month off and start training camp in January.
He would get about 9 weeks which would be more than he had for cotto (and many fans of pacquiao base his performance @ that time with that level of training as being capable of taking floyd out)
He seems serious enough to take negotiations this far(more than can be said for the times when he's been blamed with ducking competition, mosley, cotto margaritto etc) Arum (who is no fan of mayweather) apparently feels confident enough to present it to manny as representing something that mayweather's camp (and suggestively arum as well)thinks is resonable. We'll see if manny agrees, but the bobfather just got to the phillipines and it will take time.
"
Its not like the Commission has to use Texas officials, that's just done due to nepotism and politics and happens everywhere. Terms can be arranged to have only the highest qualified judges and refs appointed to this fight. So quit using that as a reason not to have this fight in Arlington."
Do you mean that they don't have to be from texas or that they don't have to be liscensed in texas(and if it's the latter, can you post some documentation/prior examples to support this) ? I won't be able to go to either site under consideration, so I just wanted some more assuance that the biggest fight in years will have access to (IMO)the best judges and refs.
I really do think it makes sense from a business perspective, to keep dallas in the running, even if one or both participants don't want to go there, it'll likely drive the site fees up and mean more money for both participants, arum's on the "money" on this one.
