"Who is Manny fighting next?" My casual Boxingfan friend asks.....

[Pretty Boy32]

I replied "Timothy Bradley."

He says "Who's Timothy Bradley?"

That says it all.....

Why is this fight happening? What is the purpose? Manny is a prizefighter, surely if he couldn't get the Mayweather fight done the obvious opponent should be Marquez.

That fights sells, everyone knows Manny lost the last fight.

He's taking the easy road, again.

[Hougigo]

Oh, so since he's not a name fighter he's not that good?
So you're saying he should only fight people with established names.... not people who're good?

He should fight a good fighter with a name e.g. Juan Manual Marquez.

Do your friends know anyone who isnt named Pacquiao or Mayweather? Quite frankly when I hear casual fan I assume they only know those two. I could tell my friends he was fighting Martinez and they'd be like "who?"

[thuggery]

Pacquiao doesn't want to get exposed by JMM again.

"leg cramps"

"socks on too tight"

Yup, that says it all .... Roger Mayweather would say "your friend don't know sh$t about boxing"

A boxing fan complaining about a very good champion getting a shot at a big time fighter. Says all I need to know. The f*** cares if no one knows who Bradley is? He earned this shot.

[oaklandstephen]

this is a great fight! only thing is i feel that bradley might win and if he does then the mayweather fight is dead.

I couldn't care less what the 'casual' fans think. They only tune in to see two guys in the whole sport. I "peeleft: on the casuals.
