yeah this topic lit a fire under me

You and me both...

Manny vs. Bradley would be a great fight for network TV. I'd love to watch it on ABC on saturday afternoon or CBS on a sat night. Put a devon alexander or dridzunik (sp) on before so they could get exposure.

Stop relating to the P4P List... it has no bearing here.

We are talking about world champions in their weight class.

Just because they aren't in the P4P list doesnt make them NOT a world class fighter.

Are you telling there are only 10 world class fighters in the entire sport then?

NO.


And you were talking about him FACING world class opponents. He did in fact face Nate Campbell regardless of the NC.

Ok if it will make you feel better fine they were top 10 in their "weight class". Still doesn't mean that he's fought anyone remotley good enough to warrent him a shot at the best fighter in the world.

I don't think the networks are gonna put up the money it would take to pay what Manny would ask for. He's gonna want 20 million and Networks don't even pay that kind of money for one NFL football game.

Manny made 13.5 mil last fight (before ppv). I'm thinkin if the networks offer him $15 mil (assuming no may pac fight) he almost has to take it. Depending on his performance and ratings he could become a bigger draw.

Top 10?

No they weren't just top 10.

They are active champions.

Junior Witter was the #1 ranked Jr WW and the WBC Champion.

Bradley beat him in his own country.


Kendall Holt was the WBO Jr WW Champion and fought Bradley in a unification fight.

Lamont Peterson was the #1 ranked contender to Bradleys belt and also a top 5 ranked Jr WW at the time.



WINS over these fighters, coupled with being the #1 fighter in the division... along with being an undefeated champion in that weight class constitutes every right to fight Pac when compared to Clottey... who has done nothing but LOSE to the competition he has faced... coupled with coming off a loss in his very previous fight. He has the same right as Clottey, if not moreso. Moreso IMO.

Contraversy sells my friend so lots of people would watch this fight. Don't let people fool you by saying they have pinciples and wouldn't watch the fight thats balogna. People would watch just to see Tony getting beat to **** or people would watch to see if Margarito would redeem himself. It would do better than the clottey fight me thinks.
