    Arum was willing to put Bradley in with Pacquiao the sports Cash Cow

    Only side thats gonna stop this fight is GBP

    wrong. mosley and marquez begged for pacquiao while they were with golden boy and couldn't get it. they had to become free agents and then sign with top rank to get pacquiao. bradley had to sign with top rank to get pacquiao.

        You know damn well that Arum loves to let things "marinate" until he's good and ready.
        rigo and donaire are both top rank
        gamboa and juanma i guess they felt it had to be built more, seemed to me like whenever it was about to reach it's peak juanma would take an asswhoopin vs someone

        didn't lara and vanes just fight?
        maidana and karass awhile ago too?

                it depends on the undercard. I think it'd get just as much hype as the Brooklyn card garica-morales and that was no ppv

                granted it's a MUCH more even fight but idk if they have the fan bases to even fill out an arena

                  Golden Boy and Top Rank are not on good terms.

                  Abner Mares vs. Nonito Donaire would be HUGE! Mexican American vs. Filipino American, the two best guys in a unification, and Mares has a huge fan base.

                  Its also a style match up that will please the fans.

                  Mares actually is the draw in this fight, he brings more fans to stadiums, look how filled the STaples center was just for Mares, Nonito can't even fill up a small 7k seat stadium in Carson he only sold like 750 tickets.

                  I bet you Nonito thinks he deserves the lions share even though Mares is the real draw here.
                  GB gives a lot of tickets away..... Just saying

                      umm nonito can't even sell out the HOME DEPOT CENTER, which seats like 6k people max.

                      Mares drew a lot at the staples center, i'd say about 5 or 6k according to what steve kim said. It'd depend on the undercard.
