Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Bradley Not Necessarily Next in Line, Says Arum

[Alpha & Omega]

It won't be Bradley, or any other non-shot, old, slow or Mexican fighter lol. It won't be Berto or M. Jones either. It will be some weight drained JM or M weight or some mediocre JW. Probably a rematch with Cotto who after this next fight with Marg will probably be completely shot at that point. Normally I would say it would be another FM leftover like Ortiz, but Ortiz still looked strong and aggressive even being KOed so Pac's camp will stay clear of him.

If Pac wanted too, he could become the Blaxicutioner and beat up all the Bradley's, Mike Jones' of the world.

Arum trying to "dupe" Bradley. Promise him a shot at Pac to get him to sign, then keep them from fighting so that Bradley can be his next cash-cow once Pac retires.

I agree, Bradley got duped. But I don't think Bradley will ever be a cash cow; he doesn't have a superstar name.

bradley will never be a cash cow, he is not a big personality and he doesn't put on a good show. and he definitely doesn't have the business boxing sense like floyd or the exciting fight potential of manny.

the cotto & margarito manny fought, would beat the victor ortiz floyd beat.
no doubt in my mind, and those fights may have been at catch weights (lets not forget he was fighting at 130 a couple years back) but neither guy was weight drained. You can tell when a fighter is drained... de la hoya, he was drained.

From the moment undefeated super lightweight champion Tim Bradley signed with Top Rank earlier this summer, speculation ran rampant that he would immediately be groomed as a future opponent for pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.

Is anyone on this message board ****** enough to believe that Bradley will not be Pacquaio's next fight? Arum claims that Pacquaio decides who he fights. After a fight, every time an interviewer asks Pacquaio who his next opponent will be, he always says that it is up to his promoter; and no matter what, Pac always ends up fighting a weak Top Rank opponent chosen by Arum instead of a quality fighter who might actually beat him.

Assuming that he beats Marquez (and that is a big if because I still say that Marquez will KO Pacquaio and then Arum will be begging Mayweather to sign to fight Pacquaio), Pacquaio can fight either Bradley, Mayweather or Martinez at 150. Pac claims that he wants to fight Mayweather and is willing to take the tests with no cutoff dates, but everyone on his team disputes this claim and Arum has not been in contact with anyone from Mayweather's camp about a potential fight since the only negotiation they had failed in late 2009. Pac said he will fight Martinez at 150. However, Arum has already said that Martinez is too big, which by translation means too good. So, that leaves Bradley.

I would not only bet all of my points, but every dime I have and everything I own that Pac's next opponent will be Bradley if he beats Marquez. Pac claims he fights for the fans and wants to give the fans what they want; however, he has ignored his fans desires in his last four fights (including the upcoming Marquez fight) and he will continue to ignore the fans and will do exactly what his owner, Bob Arum wants.

I don't want to see this match up or at least not on PPV.
