Comments Thread For: Roach: Bradley Sells No Tickets, No Money in a Rematch

[subhuman]

Who wants to see another Bradley fight? Pac already ruined him. Marquez is someone who he still hasn't had a solid clear win over yet.

He's right plus there's nothing to prove there. Pac beat him easy in the first fight.

The world of boxing has transformed into something I don't recognize anymore. Its all about ticket sells instead of fighting. Now, everyone wants to see brawls in the ring. If a fighter boxes, he's boring. Fighters like Bradley don't stand a chance in this modern day fight game. Fighters like Pernell Whitaker and Benitez would be considered boring in this day. No one appreciates pure boxing skills anymore. Whether he sells tickets or not, Timothy Bradley would have been considered a true warrior in the 80's and 90's. He would be looked at as a fighter who would go anywhere and face any opponent. He would be recognized as a one time unified champion and a champion of 2 different weight devisions. He would be looked on as a fighter that took his craft very serious and always prepared and came into a fight in topnotch condition. With the exception of punching power, he could be compared to Hagler and Holyfield.

Roach is correct when he says Bradley doesn't sell tickets, but he is lying when saying Marquez is the harder fight. Roach already knows what they will get with Marquez. The fact that Manny has slowed up is the reason Marquez will always be difficult. Where Manny has always depended on his ability, Marquez depends on pure skills. But because Marquez is almost 40, he will never present the threat that Bradley does. Roach knows that Manny is not effective unless he is landing power shots. Marquez will be there to land those shots on, Bradley won't. Bradley will box Manny all night and keep turning and countering him, Marquez will sooner or later stand and trade. To be honest, if I was in control of Manny's career, I would fight Marquez too and not Bradley. Pacquiao fans and these modern day fans of boxing saw Manny blow out Tim. But old school boxing fans saw Bradley highly competitive whether they thought he won or not. But everyone seems to forget that this undefeated champion battled with a beast like Manny with 2 hurt feet. The man was injured over half the fight and still made Manny miss most of his power shots and won the championship rounds of the fight.

Its time for Manny and Floyd to retire. If their only concern is to fight the guys who sell tickets and not fight the best, then its time to get out of the sport, and let the real fighters who want to prove they are the best, and go and fight the best, take over. Bradley want the payday with fighting Manny, but he wanted to prove he was the best. Did he prove it that night? No! But Manny didn't look like the best either and that's why they should fight again, not because Tim doesn't sell tickets.

They fought in the first place because bradley was on good run and he did challenge pacman, so they thought it would have been a war. Obviously it wasn't and I don't think there will be tickets sold for the rematch either.

Bradley will beat Pac in a rematch and they don't want it. Lets not make excuses.

NOBODY WALKS AWAY FROM A SURE THING. THE REMATCH WILL GENERATE MONEY BECAUSE ITS MANNY WHO IS FIGHTING.

GEEZ you guys think a credible fight like this where the opponent actually won will not make more money in the rematch.
I don't know if you guys are dumb or just plain fanatics of Pac. Even if you think Pac won the fight, then why wouldn't you yourselves will pay to see Pac dominate in the rematch EXCEPT if you're not to sure about your boy anymore.

HMMMM lets see. Should I watch a THIRD rematch of a fight that my guy beat the opponent three times already or should I watch the FIRST rematch of a fight he lost that I thought he won.

Some of you guys just don't make sense on this site.

please pardon my sentences today

Exactly! This is a straight out duck. I have never used the term before

[PAC-BOY]

Exactly! This is a straight out duck. I have never used the term before

yeah...that makes sense....Duck someone you beat clearly! And convincingly!

[noStylez]

LOL 6 tickets, Roach is a funny dude.
JMM fight definitely makes more business sense, even many fans don't really want a 4th fight, you can't deny all 3 fights have brought excitement, expect another close fight a KO would be surprising on either side.

Pac will probably fight Bradley if no Mayweather fight next year. Which is highly likely.
