Come on, you've never seen a ripoff on a TR card?
Arum could pay the judges off or he could cash in on Pac because he is about to either retire or leave Arum anyways.
Bradley is not a scrub and if David Diaz, Clottey, Mosley, and Marquez can last with Pac, then Bradley should be able to as well.
I think Bradley can do it, I think things are just right for him to be able to win, and I feel that Pac and his people are sleeping on Bradley.
If Pac smashes him, then well......it was expected to a degree according to a lot of posters here. I would say Pac is a straight beast (I am a big Pac fan by the way but I'm a bigger Bradley fan) and that he is pretty much unbeatable. I remember catching flack for saying Manny was innocent of the roids stuff because there was no proof that he was on anything like 2 years ago.
The same stuff was being said about JMM not more than 7 months ago and we see what happened there...styles make fights but the bottom line is that was a 38 year old man that did that to Pac.
I believe that Bradley can to big things, I'll support the guy till the end and if he loses, I'll still support him. He has been the underdog his entire career, still wining though.
alright mann, let me break this down for you. first of all the judges are appointed by the state boxing commission, not the promoter or their organization. if you wanna talk robberies under top promoters then i'll give a couple of non-top rank fights. Lara vs. Williams (Goldenboy & Goosen) Khan vs. Peterson, Froch vs. Dirrell, Martinez vs. Cintron. i could go on all day on how bias you are being towards Top Rank but i thats not the topic here.
Bradley's defense is simple, put your head down to avoid facial damage. and i just watched the Alexander fight. Bradley walked through his punches instead of avoiding them. he bullied Devon to the ropes cause he knows how to rough his opponents up. his punches were slow not fast and his footwork is overrated. im sorry but your guy is getting stopped, good fight but stopped.
JMM fought the fight to survive rather than beat him. everytime Marq hit Manny, he would sprint backwards when Pacq tried to make a fight. when Pacq hit Juan the crowd wouldn't make a peep. but the other way around you would hear Mexican fans scream. the HBO highlights keep showing Pacquiao countering Marquez's counters over and over again. when Marquez finally came forward in the 12th he almost got overpowered and knocked down.
Bradley is faster than JMM and Mosley first off. Secondly, Bradley doesn't get hit that much at all. Third, he can avoid Pac's flurries by moving back and at an angle.
If Pac is such a Monster, why couldn't he demolish a 37 year old Mosley or a 38 year old JMM? Remember that Mosley just got demolished by a 21 year old KID that most people call a hype job on these forums. If you think Bradley is going out like Daid Diaz, then you got another thing coming.
all this talk about Bradley is fast means nothing. Pacq has faced fast guys from 105 up. the question is, can Bradley deal with the speed of Manny. you are making it sound as if it is easy to avoid Pacq combos just by simply running away. even tho Mosley was running he was still getting hit.
i just watched Bradley vs. Casamayor and Tim looked sluggish throwing one punch at a time to the body leaving himself open for evil counters. he also has a habit of chasing his opponent with his hands down, which is why Diaz kept telling him on 24/7 to keep his hands up at all times.
Oh yeah, I'm with you about the judges but I think there are other things at play that could lead to the judges not being bought off. Things that would be better for Arum in the long run...that's the only reason I would venture to bet on Bradley in the first place. Even if the judges rip him off, I am confident that he will put up a performance such that Pac will not look incredible like this fight is supposed to make him look. Bradley has been studying tape of Pac for years, I doubt he is going to come in swinging wildly. Bradley has a tendency to get wild but there are other things that I see that he does that takes away the advantages that these other guys may have, subtle things.
Roach is slipping and it may be age or his disease but his assessments aren't as "on-point" as they used to be.
dude your gonna have alot of explaining to do after the fight. calling random judges paid off, saying Bradley will get robbed, building Bradley up from every angle. you should be a promoter with that kind of attitude.
Mayweather & Arum are polar opposite promoters with opposite motives when it comes to reporting earnings.
Mayweather's motive: To make himself look phat gangsta rich.
Owners of companies/corporations can set their own annual salary at ANY amount. $50 million, 50 cents or anything in between. It doesn't matter, because they own the company, so their earnings/salary comes from the company's PROFITS.
Mayweather is his own boss. So he basically writes himself a check of $32 million. What is the exact percentage of PPV profit share he is receiving?? Notice he did NOT specify that to the media. A guarantee is real when it is specific (eg. minimum guarantee of $32 million, PLUS 60% of PPV profit share). I can't find an article that reports this. The reason is....that $32 mil is really an estimate based on the percentage he is receiving from the PPV profits. He could make more or less than 32 mil. That's the risk he takes by being "his own boss".
bullshhit Floyd Jr. is a Goldenboy fighter who gives 20% of his check to Schaefer!
Pac is coming in thinking he is facing a brawling, weak punching, wide singing no-hoper. What is he going to do when he sees something different? Roach gonna give him some insight? I doubt it
Bradley can't go backwards against Pacquiao and expect to win. he is not faster than Marquez & Mosley. this fight will get stopped once Tim's face becomes unbarable to look at. God Bless Him
I'm glad you are confident in that. Bradley did what he needed to do in the Alexander fight, just as he will do what he needs to do in the Pac fight. Your comments exemplify my point exactly......a lot of judges can be bought off, it's not that tough. Bringing up the Martinez fight is lol to me....I bitched about that decision for months...biased towards top rank......I always complain about robberies...where you been?
I will give Pac full credit if he stops Bradley, will you give Bradley credit if he makes Pac look suspect or beats him?
depends...
if its by head or fists
