Timothy Bradley: "Mayweather flattens Pacquiao."

[Porter's Dad]

How long after the initial negotiations did Manny say he agreed to OSDT? The first negotiations was the closest they came to making the fight happen. Everything was perfect, all the stars were aligned but somehow it fell through. After that they went their separate ways and showed little interest in further negotiations. Both fighters (and Arum) were simply disgusted by what happened and now they're bullshitting each other (Floyd making that bullshit no ppv offer and Pac asking Floyd to wait for the imaginary stadium to be built).

They tried their best to make it happen and they tried to be as fair as possible but it didn't work out, so now both guys are thinking "Fuck him! He needs me more than I need him, if we fight it'll be on my terms!"

It was Arum who was lying about the stadium, not Pac.

And I don't think either party wanted the fight to happen. Cos if you want a fight like that to happen, you can make it happen. Both sides were just bullsh-tting the public while they were raking it in against inferior opponents.

I think Pac has always wanted the fight, and probably quite strongly now if you believe the rumours (I think he knows he's on the slide and it has to be made soon if he's gonna have any sort of chance).

The only people who haven't wanted this fight, and still ostensibly don't, are Mayweather and Arum.

When those two want it to happen, it will.

Arum and Koncz, Pac's adviser. The guy who works for Pac agreed about waiting for the stadium to be built.

Then why did Floyd accept 50/50 after saying Pac would never get more than 40%? Why did Floyd accept the 10 million per lb over the limit penalty? Why did Top Rank and GBP enter mediation? They really tried the first time around.

Both fighters wanted the fight but they couldn't agree on the terms, it happens. You can't say Pac wanted the fight more than Floyd. If that was the case he would have agreed to OSDT from the start.

Mayweather even moved on the OSDT offering a 14 day cut off which Pacquiao turned down because it would make him feel weak and then was exposed having blood taken 15 days before the Hatton fight.

This is what it has come down to. At one point, both parties had a genuine interest in this fight taking place, but the politics reared its ugly head. Here we are 3 years later, and the boxing public is still wondering if the fight will ever happen. Both guys have been fighting to fight everyone else under the sun, and since Floyd benefits from this arrangement the most, there's less incentive for him to budge on his requests.

Bradley is becoming a disgusting hater. I was a big fan of him but since the Pac fight he is a b!tch

[mathed]

It's true, he does say that. But how do you know go from "Mayweather will never stop him" to "Mayweather flattens him. Easy work"?

Which do you think is more truthful? Immediately in the ring after a fight or months later, when he's trying to justify his victory (as well as goading Manny into a fight)?

I don't think Tim is deliberately. But I do think he's convinced himself he won the fight and Manny ain't that good. Which is pretty deluded when everyone but Floyd fans know that Manny won that fight handily.

By "Flatten" I think he is saynig beat handily. Otherwise, he would have said knock him out. Pac didn't win that fight easily, half the shots people gave him credit for landing, he didn't land, no one would know that better than the guy blocking the punches.

Tim moved up in weight and fought the best fighter on the planet in his first PPV headline, he is willing to fight Pac again to make it more conclusive.....others are making up excuses not to fight him again much like Khan when he lost to Prescott......who wouldn't want to avenge a loss especially if they thought they got ripped off?

[KnockoutKings]

I don't think manny or Floyd should fight again unless it's against each other.

They won't fight each other unless it's their very last fight before retirement.

To make it more conclusive, Timmy didnt even make it conclusive the first time. F@CK Tim Bradley NO ONE gives a s#it about him anyways..

losing alot of respect for bradley..I didn't have a problem with him before the fight and I actually thought he seemed like a cool guy. But ever since he has got that gift decision he's been acting like a douchebag...pac shouldn't waste his time with that idiot, but if he does decide to take the rematch then I hope he goes for the stoppage.
