Arum's plan backfired, Bradley is still a nobody

[IMDAZED]

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.

Sure. Except "losing" to Manny Pacquiao is no crime. Not like he got KTFO by Breidis Prescott. And he is still young and still very tough to beat. People are hoping for his demise which is a bit silly. Get used to him.

Well Im sure Bradley is ready to retire now...


The ***.k.

That might be hard to get used to if Arum is smart he will put Bradley on ESPN and have him fight the Alexanders of the world, the good but far from great guys. That's more Timmy's speed because he was exposed as being too slow and too dumb for the highest level. Manny never really pressured him and still took him to school. Just imagine if Pac stepped it up a notch Bradley might have been ruined for life.

Unfortunately your wish won't come true. Bradley is contracted to HBO now and has Showtime to fall back on. He won't be on ESPN any time. And given the fact that he just joined HBO, he's going to get a lot of exposure whether you like it or not. Get over it.

I agree, he'll never be a big star but...just drifted off into oblivion? He fought in June. Rumors of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

He has drifted off the radar in comparison to what should have happened after "beating" Manny, the time to have struck would have been in the days and weeks after the fight.
You would have thought that anyone who de-railed Floyd or Manny would possibly be next in line to take the throne, or even if you wouldnt have thought it, it's not an unreasonable thought and he is not lined up or seen as the next heir apparent and darling of boxing.

His got about three threads on him on the first page right now. Seems he's still pretty well known among fans. Casual fans didn't know him before the fight and don't care afterward. So nothing's really changed. I'll also remind you that he doesn't have to be the heir apparent or darling of boxing (what idiot thought he would ever be that?). He just needs to win and he'll keep getting exposure and big paydays.

no it appears they have no answers for Bradleys style and don't want any part of him.Bradley did what he set out to do beat Manny and become a 2 division champion

I think I gave Pac every round except one or two. Cant remember.

I dont think its a legit win though. He got no credit or recognition from it. I think Pac beat him and it didnt even look like Manny was trying that hard.

Exposure.

Ok let's bet on this let's say one full year from now so September 2013 the mainstream still will have no clue who this clown is. All my points for equal of yours.

Bradley and his rat promoter screwed the wrong superstar if it was Floyd people would've probably laughed but Manny is a man of the people and Arum's mistake is obvious with Pac not even thinking about giving little Timmy another payday.

Who is the mainstream? Why do we care about them? Bradley isn't going to be the next Floyd. But (as much as it pains you) he will be a staple of HBO Boxing for a while. And whoever watches that will know him.
