Why does'nt Manny fight Tim Bradley

[Dynamite Kid]

Why doesn't Manny fight Tim Bradley? what is the sense in fighting Malignaggi when they guy barely got past Herman Ngoudjo, N'Dou 2, got beat decisively by Cotto & Hatton ?

Bradley vs Pacquiao is a much more attractive fight in my estimation and will add to Manny's credibility, what does a win over Malignaggi do?

Id like to see Bradley fight Manny or even step up and fight Floyd if he would give him an opportunity.

Money, whether we like it or not Malignaggi is a more recognizable name which would help build and sell the fight.

i agree.

unless it's with berto/mosley winner , mayweather or maybe a shot at a 154 belt , bradley should be another top choice. especially at 140.

eh......if it's name recognition for money , might as well fight judah or marquez.

hell ortiz or chavez jr. would sell better especially with the mexican-american backing.

Bradley is the better and tougher opponent but Malignaggi has been getting a lot of attention from the Diaz' fights and semi-accusing Pacquiao of using performance enhancers.

Malignaggi vs Pacquiao is not too bad, at least Paulie brings a different style than the normal 'come-to-fight' type of style that they have been feeding Pacquiao. Paulie's very hittable but a lot slicker than Manny's last 5 opponents and obviously less powerful.

Judah isn't really relevant anymore though and Marquez is coming off a loss and the fight would be at 140 at least, also Arum and Co. are still planning for a Mayweather fight later in the year if March doesn't work out so they don't want to risk him too much.

Ortiz is coming off a decent performance against Diaz but was labeled a quitter against Maidana and Chavez Jr. has just tested positive for diuretics, even the Mexican people are criticizing him now.

Malignaggi has a good balance of being a marketable name who can sell a fight while not being too dangerous so that he won't jeopardize Pacquiao's future plans.

I dont think Pacquiao will fight Malinaggi at all, he doesnt deserve ****.
Bradley fight will be good so idiots on this forum would stop saying he ducks "African American Slick Fighters".

malignaggi couldn't stop hatton from coming in.

unless his trainer hits pacquiao with a stool from behind......nothing will stop pacquiao from handing out a beating.

even with the loss to mayweather by marquez , i think marquez 3 would be more marketable that malignaggi.

if he's not gonna take a risk because of a possible mayweather rematch , hell might as well take a real no hoper and have it in philippines for his filipino fans and just put it on regular hbo.

GBP might make it hard for Pacquiao to get Bradley, if Pac-Floyd doesn't go through.

I agree with you. I cant see how Paulie brings anymore than Bradley tbh, in terms of marketability anyway. I do acknowledge that Paulie is a safe bet though, that part i can understand.
