    Why did Top Rank put Poll including Bradley on their site?

    Perhaps Top Rank will give Bradley a shot at pac, they have a poll that includes his name and he is winning the poll over Margocheato and Cotto.

      Well Cotto is only 1 fight on from getting beat down by Pac people remember him running from round 5. He was not that fantastic vs a guy who lets be honest is not elite either

      Margs is a cheater and got brutally ktfo by a guy who pacs main rival just dominated.

      Bradley on the other hand is allways improving and is deserving of a pay day unlike a proven cheat who is only 1 fight on from his ban

        most voters are probably hardcore or not your casual boxing fans. i for one would like to see a bradley fight, but the economics of it makes me understand why arum is making the marg fight. tim's relatively unknow to the casual fan. after a couple of signature fights w/ either devon,maidana or khan then he'd have his shot either w/ pac or floyd.

          I noticed this last week and was really surprised someone at Top Rank included Bradley in the poll after Arum's comments on Bradley the week before. Maybe they thought Bradley would lose and they'd make their point... if so that really backfired. Twako is probably right, casual fans probably aren't checking out a promoter's website and voting in their poll. While Cotto and Marg are most definitely more popular/well-known than Bradley, people know both of those fights kinda suck.

            It looks to me like Arum is waiting for him to get built up enough. He's about three big wins away from a Pacquiao fight. Perhaps Berto, Clottey, Mosley then Pacquiao?

                yeah and how much he's 400 more on top of Margarito and he's with Shaw. Pacquaio/Bradley will do equally as good in Dubai. 25 million just to host it there and I'm sure Bradley would do a 90/10 split. Gaping Arse split lol but its still more than he will see for years.
