      You mean you wish he is. I doubt he goes inactive, gets dropped by Top Rank and can't find a willing promoter.

        Can you hook me up with a link for Bradley's next fight? I don't get ESPN over here.

          I think he was originally scheduled for December but no venue yet. Maybe January.

I dont see any big sponsors over him making him their public face...I see an average all round guy that will just go under the radar
            Middle of the road personality? He came off extremely arrogant to me with the whole printing the rematch tickets thing. Bradley is calm on the surface but a **** underneath bet on it. As for beating one of the worlds most well known sports stars that's the problem almost the entire popoulation of the planet that saw or heard anything about the fight thinks he lost. You can't be the next star if you win because your promoter set up the other guy to lose on the cards.

            Arum beat Pacquiao not Bradley.

              Does anyone outside Bradley or his opponent's camp care about that fight?

              Arum tried and failed to replace Manny and the backlash caused him to retreat.

                No one "cared" about his fights before (although there are quite a few threads on him for some reason). Yet he keeps getting paydays. And as long as he keeps winning, he'll carve out his niche.

                  People actlike there's no chance Pacquiao vs. Bradley 2 is possible for next year. Manny needs an April and September 2013 opponent for next year too.

                    The only niche he has is the one reserved for fighters that were convincingly beaten but yet handed victory by their promoter and right now the headliners of that cowardly niche are Bradley and Lamont Peterson.
