Comments Thread For: Joel Diaz: I Know For a Fact Arum Wants Bradley To Lose

[nacho daddy]

Bradley already lost to pac and was beaten from pillar to post by the Russian and the Russian should have won the title from rubber legs just for the **** decision with pac. when marquez hurts sadley and he does the chicken walk marqeuz will finish him

Joel, is on point. Bob Arum is a sleaze bag and he is only concerned with money. I hate Timmy signed with him instead of Golden Boy.

Lies! All lies! Arum isn't biased and he doesn't care about money.

i think its the opposite...bradley has already got 2 gift decisions..marquez has no intention of rematching pacquiao plus hes on his way out..if it goes to the judges bradley wins...then bob can set up a pacquiao rematch or a match with rios

you're mad at bradley because marquez knocked out pacquiao.

whoever wins this fight. i hope neither of them give pacquiao a rematch just to get back at Arum. both of them beat pacquiao so bradley,if he wins should fight alvarado should he beat the russian provodnikov. then bradley should leave arum and go to goldenboys.there's lots of great fights at 147 over there.

Joel isn't make any sense really.. To be honest he sounds a bit paranoid. Being that Marquez will not fight Pacquiao again, the next best thing would be for Bradley to hold onto that belt and have Pacquiao challenge him for it in a rematch.. Yes Marquez is a draw, but Manny is Top Rank's cash cow and getting the belt back gives him more leverage in negotiations for future fights. Unless of course Bradley's camp is just unhappy with Top Rank and are trying to talk their way out of their contract.

you have good points. i hope bradley leaves. but if bradley beats marquez. top rank will have to pay bradley a nice piece of dollar to make the rematch. unless Rios knocks the glass chin midget out. then it could be rios vs bradley or bradley vs the winner of alvarado and provodnikov

As the Oct. 12 Tim Bradley-Juan Manuel Marquez pay per view showdown approaches us, there is some noticeable tension in the air.

A visibly discouraged Bradley spoke on his concerns with me earlier this month pertaining to the drug testing protocols that are being used in advance of the bout.

While initially seeking to have either VADA or USADA drug testing enforced, Bradley was thrown for a loop when he discovered that his promoter and Top Rank CEO Bob Arum instead had plans of using a third party agency in cooperation with the Nevada State Athletic Commission to oversee the testing.

Bradley initially mentioned that he would consider walking away from the fight if VADA or USADA weren’t involved, citing his contract that stated either party needed to be used in conjunction with the fight. [Click Here To Read More]

Diaz makes no sense with his wildly speculative accusations. Unless he's arranged this with Bradley, it will upset Bradley to read it as he undoubtedly will.

Why should Arum prefer a 40 year old, extremely difficult to deal with, envious fighter like Marquez, whom he doesn't even have under contract, except on a fight by fight basis,whilst he has Bradley, a fighter of consequence and growing popularity under a real contract. He's getting him plenty of fights isn't he....????

Anyone with common-sense would know that it's just ignorant fight-guy mouthing-off.

By the way of any rabid Marquez fan is giving odds on a Marquez win, PM me as I will bet on Bradley.
