Comments Thread For: Marquez-Bradley: Top Rank Reserve Thomas & Mack, 9/14

I can't see this being a PPV fight. Neither have proven to be a PPV draw without Pacquiao. This is just Arum's way of getting back at Golden Boy for putting Canelo up against his PPV last year. He knows Showtime wants Cott/Canelo in September on Mexican Independence weekend.
More petty games by the old dinosaur....

Marquez-Bradley should be free WCB on HBO. It is a much more competitive fight than a name selling fight like Canelo-Cotto.

If Floyd or Canelo fight I'll watch either of them over this if it's the same night.

I think this PPV is gonna do a lot better then people are expecting. marquez has become a huge hero among Mexican fight fans and has been part of several PPV's that have done great numbers. I don't think it will do a million PPV's but i think it will do 500,000 buys which are still really good numbers if your name isn't Pacquiao or Mayweather.

Let's get it done, time for the Desert Storm to shine.

This fight will def be PPV, there's no way HBO can cover the kind of money both these guys are probably asking for

[Javii86]

Of course there's still the possibility that Floyd and Canelo meet up for a fight. Top Rank would have to change the date to the event. No reason to just lose money either.

Good ****. I don't think Arum cares so much about having that fight on that date specifically and/or potentially going against Canelo as much as you guys think, in any case, I believe it was Marquez's request in the first place.

Canelo-Cotto would do great numbers with or without Marquez on the date, I just like the Marquez-Bradley matchup much better, especially considering Cotto is coming off a loss to a guy Canelo just beat on regular Showtime.

Marquez vs Bradley is definately more intriguing

[Jam Jars]

JMM-Bradley won't do monster PPV numbers, but it will do a few hundred thousand which is nothing to be sniffed at.

I like Bradley to outwork Marquez. Pac was easier for marquez to time with the in-out fighting, but Bradley comes forward with his head down and Marquez will just tire out.
