Comments Thread For: Arum: Bradley Too Tough For Khan, HBO Mistakes

[Rome-By-Ko]

Arum speaks the truth,this fight needed more time too get this fight bigger..Interesting how Arum is trying to offer Bradley a deal without offering him a deal..Funny thing is GBP did something similar in the lead up too this fight..I think Bradley should stay with Shaw and be with someone looking out for his best interest tbh..Bradley Khan get it done..

[WESS]

Khans feather fists wont keep Bradley or his head from pressuring him. Bradley catches Khan and beats him (easily IMO).

Pac vs Bradley would be a hell of a fight though. Two fighters that are willing to go toe to toe and since Bradley is not a technical fighter Pac/Arum would welcome the fight.

i agree. bradley is too tough quick smart and conditioned for khan. khan will look good for first 2 rounds if he dont stop bradley then its a wrap he wont be able to keep up with the pressure

after Bradley losses a fight? get the **** out of here with that **** man you do know Bradley and Berto were available for Arum right instead we get a damaged Marg and Mosley.


wake up kid Arum would even go out of his way to find another network to put on his mismatches before he steps up the level of competition

Yeah, Bradley would be a huge step up in competition for Manny... are you serious? That big dome of his would be nothing but a shiny target and he would be absolutely manhandled, wouldn't see the 5th round. And we just might see it go down in the fall, so we'll see how competitive that ass-whooping would be. Shane, even at this stage, brutally KOs Bradley.

Berto will continue to be overpaid by HBO to fight the bum of the month club on the undercard of other fighters' bout.

And the deal with CBS was an offer no reasonable businessman in his right mind would ever refuse, get your head out of your a$$.

Bradley What?????

Bradley B fighter at best. Why do we get moron promotors feeding us this BS? Anyone with eyeballs can see Bradley, Berto, Alexander, and yes now Shug Shane are B fighters and don't belong with with the elite. Gary Shaw and Arum STFU

[Heru]

This "let the fight marinate" bull**** is what's ****** about Arum's thinking.

Fighters like Bradley and Alexander can't put themselves into a position where they're both stars fighting the likes of Abregu and Kotelnik, they do it fighting each other in great fights. This isn't the 80s, where Leonard and Hearns quickly grew into stars in the same division fighting other fighters.

This is the same **** that happened with Pavlik and Abraham, Lopez and Caballero, Cotto and Mayweather, and what could happen to Lopez and Gamboa and Mayweather and Pacquiao (there's a common theme here).

Neither fight gets made because of this ****. Pavlik-Abraham could've been an FOTY and the winner could've been a star. Same for Lopez-Caballero.

Fight now or GTFO of boxing. It would've still been a fight that didn't live upto expectations with or without marinating. Better that it happened now, so we can look forward to the real main course that is Bradley-Khan.

pacquiao looks elite because he's fighting a bunch of stiffs.when they put him in there with somebody just a s fast then he becomes a one dimensional southpaw.

[decipher]

Arum has a point.

He's been promoting for 50+ years or something so he knows this game inside and out.

If the fight had taken place a year down the road, both fighter's would've come out with heavier pockets.

Arum knows how to maximize $$ potential and really get his fighter's top dollar whether the boxing fans like it or not.

That is something to hate, but also admire depending on which perspective you're looking from.

what perspective are you looking at it from? the fighters perspective where they dont fight any real competition and then when history judges them they unfavorably give them pre-modana status?

or the fans perspective where we are cheated out of good competitive fights and boxing as a whole take a nose dive?

or maybe uncle bobs perspective where he keeps his fighters from fighting and just lets them spar on ppv while we pay for it and his pockets grow?

or maybe a pac fans perspective where you delusionally make excuses for uncle bob and pac because since pac is a god we cant question his actions, cant we?

Pac vs Bradley would be a hell of a fight though. Two fighters that are willing to go toe to toe and since Bradley is not a technical fighter Pac/Arum would welcome the fight.

By saying that Floyd is scared to fight Pac, Tim is already one step ahead of getting a big payday fight with pac.

[Check_hooks]

everything about this fight was pathetic. The promotion. The fighters. The ending. This is boxing, the fans dont want to see a fighter constantly headbutt and a fighter quit because of a butt.
