Was he weight drained vs Clottey? He still has pretty good skills but lets face it, he got beat to ***** by Marg and Pac and hasn't really beat anyone of significance.Funny how we are talking about Cotto on a Pac v Bradley sticky. Maybe its because no one is giving a rats arse about this fight. Pac star isnt shining as bright anymore since his loss..i mean "win" against JMM
The stage is too big for Bradley. I sense he'll be overwhelmed.I dont think so. He seems confident, not fazed, and i think he'll flourish under the big lights.
Ummm isn't that was I said? Still a month away. The Floyd/cotto fight hasnt happen yet why would they start painting the whole town with PAC vs Bradley ads???Read what i wrote again. I said its not still a month away its ONLY a month away. Big difference in the wording and i also said that people should already be talking about it but no one is.
I would love to post on here but Pac mentioned Floyd..again and it seems its the only way to get people talking about him or his fight. This is getting sad cause instead of debating a good fight its right back to the same recycled :argue:
I could see it. I think Bradley will win anyway but this way it sets up a lucrative rematch fir top rank and arumcan now start grooming his new cash cow
Just watched all the 24/7 and gotta say Bradley made me fan. Hes determined and seems to be ready for this. Win or lose im a fan of Bradley. Is he a top 10 P4P, no but he wants this
Wow, that's your response? Please explain how Cotto, a 31 year-old, over the hill vet with two fairly recent bad TKO losses poses a greater threat to Floyd than Bradley does to Pac(a fighter who just "lost")?
There is plenty of interest in this fight, its just not as controversial as there isn't really any legitimate argument as to why this is a bad fight for Pac. On the other hand, there's plenty to criticize in the other fight even though at his best, Cotto was arguably better than Bradley is today.For Pac being this monster of a PPV money maker so many make him out to be, no there isnt any buzz for this fight. And who said i wasnt interested in it? Read my other posts on this sticky. Wont be hard to find as not to many people have wrote on here. There is no interest by the casual fans. Casual fans make up a big portion of Pac fans but they dont care and many jumped ship after the JMM debacle. No one cares about this fight but real boxing fans and i am one. Do i think Bradley has a chance? yes i do and i think Cotto also has a chance to win. And to counter your last argument i still think Cotto is better than Bradley today.
what a load of crap.. u see how some people have to lie to make themself feel good LOL. first of all, according to all u floyd fans, p@ctards are all pinoys. i have yet to meet one unhappy pinoy that "hates" life right now LOL. most if not all the pinoys i've encounter comes from middle class type family. second of all according to u floyd fans, p@ctards knows and watch manny only so wtf would a p@ctard be doing in vegas during the week of a floyd fight, and according to u guys they supposely hate the most? LOL!! and last but not least floyd vs cotto is this weekend why the phuck would vegas start advertising the pac vs bradley fight for? they would be stealing the spot light for the floyd vs cotto fight, now why would they wanna do that when the pac fight is still a month away? LOL!!!The pac fight is not still a month away its ONLY a month away. Big difference and with one month to go the people should be talking about a fight with one of the biggest stars already.
I do hope it picks up steam cause there is no buzz at all.
*gasp* there's no interest in the casual fans for a fight over two months away that has yet to be promoted and/or trained for?!? Totally going to bomb, right? Sure it probably won't pull in the 1.2+Mil we're used to but there's no way it'll do worse than the Clottey fight and do you know what, I don't care, it's a legit fight and should be damn entertaining.you continue to respond to me like im a fanboy even though i have already told you im not. I like this fight. I think it is legit but at the same time this is maybe the second debate i have had about this fight since it was announced. Is it gonna bomb? i dont know and i dont care. Like all PPV fights i will get it even if it doesnt have any buzz.
Loads of people are talking about this fight,don't know where your from??Not to mention people on this site are talking about it..I'm live in NY and it's being talked about,as a matter of fact,every time Floyd Cotto comes up Pac and Bradley comes up as well...Like I said,I don't know where ya from,but both fights are being talked about..But Floyd Cotto more so right now,being it's up first...SF Cali and no one here is talking. On this site this sticky gets no love. A poster put a thread the other day about trying to get hyped for Pac v Bradley and no one paid attention to it. So like i have said i hope it does pick up steam cause i like the fight and will order it like i do all fights but the buzz isnt there. But im hoping it will be
Or the fact that the PBF/Cotto thread has been open for a full month longer than this one?!?
That fight has more fans involved period. Pactards running their mouths, ricans chiming in, flomos claiming Cotto is a beast now (but he was a bum 2 years ago when Pac fought him).I think Cotto is pretty good still and to me he wasnt a bum when he fought Pac but he was weight drained. Honestly Cotto is the only fighter i give Pac credit for beating.
If Timothy Bradley pulls off the big upset over Manny Pacquiao on June 9 in Las Vegas, a rematch is already set for November 10, Bob Arum tells the Manila Bulletin:
"This is the reason why I haven’t talked about any other fight with Manny other than this upcoming fight with Bradley," said Arum.
Arum checked on Bradley’s preparation in the desert city of Indio, California, and was awestruck by Bradley’s confidence level and demeanor.
It can be argued this is a sign that Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO) is definitely not looking past Bradley (28-0, 12 KO), which is a good idea considering Manny's not getting younger or better anymore, and Bradley is an unbeaten athlete in his prime who has nothing to lose with this fight.
Star-divide
I honestly believe at this point that anyone expecting a blowout is going to be stunned with this one. I'm really expecting a good, competitive fight, possibly another one with a scoring controversy at the end. Tim Bradley really does have a pretty huge confidence level right now, or else he's able to make me believe he has one, which could be good enough anyway.
Chances are you can probably figure Pacquiao as fighting again on November 10, win or lose against Bradley.
http://www.badlefthook.com/2012/5/26/3045166/pacquiao-vs-bradley-rematch-set-november-10-upset-hbo-boxing-newsIsnt there a thread out there where Arum says everything is on the table for Marquez?
And read what I said, floyd/cotto hasnt even happen yet why would Vegas promote 2 fights at the same time for lol? Wait until after Saturday, and I bet u will be on here complaining about why is there a PAC vs Bradley thread and postin everywhere.Do you read? I even said i hope it picks up steam cause there is no buzz. So if i want it to pick up steam why would i complain? And its not just Vegas they are promoting to, no one is talking about it.
Man this Sticky has less than 2000 posts this close to the fight. I have heard no one talking about it and even the die hard Pac fans dont know hes fighting. Havent seen any promotion or updates other than Pac going to bible study.
I kept hearing after Floyd/Cotto the promotion will kick in and the masses will get talking but that hasnt happened at all. The only thing that got the masses talking was when Arum mentioned Floyd was Plan A and this is Plan B, which is kind of an insult to Bradley. Now i know Bradley is not well known to casual fans but Pac is supposed to have a huge following and be this huge worldwide star.
What is going on?
because you equate buzz with forum posting you nuthug:nutkick:
floyd's threads get more posts because he has fans who work like ants day and night. your group is the most active in nsb when it comes to posting.Yeah cause i base my whole "sportof boxing" know how around NSB forums. Moron just admit there is no buzz anywhere. I wrotw that earlier but i guess ur just mad that NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS FIGHT
Does anyone even care about this fight? Less then 200 posts on a sticky?I was thinking the same thing. No buzz at all for this fight. Team PAC hurting after the JMM debacle.
I wouldn't be surprised if ticket sales struggle they fake an injury
So, just to be clear, you are surprised this fight, being a Manny fight, doesn't have as much hype as Floyd's?No im surprised that this being a Manny fight has no hype at all. I didnt expect it to reach Floyd/Cotto level cause Cotto is bigger name but to have no buzz at all is shocking.
Most of them are just haters that want Pac to lose. They aren't really Bradley fans, f*** them.I want Bradley to win, not because im a fan of his even though he is a funny guy and im liking him more, but for the same reason i wanted Cotto to win. It opens up the division(s) and all this May/Pac talk will stop and better fights can be made. Fresh blood :boxing:
I do think this fight will struggle cause till this day there is no buzz for it. And that is a shame cause this is a hella of a fight. I say Bradley shocks the world in this one and not only beats Pac but hurts him in the process. Lets just hope the judges see it that way.
