Comments Thread For: Arum: Tim Bradley is Waiting For Pacquiao, Not Khan

[Lorily]

Once again, Arum is baiting all these fighters to wait around for a possible fight with Pac and practically has Pac lined up with fights easily in to 2012 - which basically gives no chance for a Pac/Mayweather fight to even be negotiated. I get that Arum and Team Pac can't wait around forever for Mayweather... but then Arum should STOP saying anything about there even being a chance for a Mayweather fight, period. If Bob has Pac already tied up for his next two fights, with promises made to other fighters and contracts already drawn up, then there's virtually no chance to squeeze in a negotiation for Floyd anyway.

Bob - stop acting like you're interested in the least about a Pac/Mayweather fight. Just worry about the next fighter you're gonna try to promise to fight Pac if they leave their current promoter. M-A-Y-B-E he'll have an opening sometime in late 2013.

i dont think he has fights lined up. i think he has dates and throws them out there and lets everyone else chase a fight w/ pac. i dont think he draws up contracts much in advance either. cuz obviously if mayweather comes to the table, they would dump whatever fight they were negotiating in preference to a mayweather-pacquiao fight.

that said. ive said it before and ill say it again. i doubt tim is tryin to get more money from khan and is ducking. i think hes waiting for his contract with shaw to run out so he can jump to golden boy or top rank.

bradleys contract with Shaw is actually up already. But he was willing to let Shaw promote his next fight - but he's not contractually bound to him anymore.
Plus, I think Arum doesnt want a PAc-Mayweather fight (although obviously may doesnt want it either). Arum figures its better to make 80 mil gross revenue for fights that she'll probably win against Marquez, the maybe Bradley, Judah, possibly Berto if he could beat Ortiz in a rematch - then risk losn to mayweather, make a ton of money, but not as much for his fights after that bc hed no longer be viewed as the #1 fighter in the world.
I disagree strongly, but wudnt be surprised if arum looked at it that way, considering he's been matchin Pac up easier the past yr ever since his run of de la Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, and attempt for Mayweather

Headbutt Bradley is going down. I would love to see it. I cant stand that big headed moon cricket.

Explain yourself here?

Arum likes to dangle PAC to get fighters to sign with him, PAC is getting older and won't be around too much longer, so Arum needs to trick people into signing with him.

I really doubt PAC fights Bradley, because he has nothing to gain from such a fight. Head butt Bradley is a no name jww, although it's possible Arum will put him in to make a name out of Timmy, since Arum is screwed once PAC retires, although hopefully Arum will be dead before then.
