Comments Thread For: Bradley - Why He Passed on Pacquiao, Picked Marquez

[Reloaded]

Bad business. These guys (Bradley & Marquez) would no be near the wealthy men they became had Pacquiao not given them opportunities.

Manny did it for himself when it suited him , he did Juan no favors in the negotiations .

Didn't Pac turn down an immediate rematch in favor of Marquez?

I'm glad he picked Marquez. This was the fight I most wanted at welterweight, and I'm eagerly awaiting it.

Ugh...I actually used to like Bradley, but the way he holds that fake Pacquiao victory so highly is just sickening. Dude you got a bogus decision and act like you did something that won you the fight. Sickening. If there's anybody I want to see Pac embarrass it's Bradley.

Bradley wanted the immediate rematch , even hyping the rematch clause and date during 24/7 , but then Manny didn't want it then and went and got KOed , what comes around goes around .

Pac wont embarrass Bradley , Manny will lose clearly if the fight again .

He most certainly did for more money. Had Manny decided to fight Timothy Bradley on those terms he would have lost a substantial amount of his guaranteed purse split. Therefore, he opted to fight Marquez for the fourth time, while being subsequently knocked out by him in the process, for about a third of the money that Team Bradley was demanding.

This I could not agree more with you on..

Bradley\Marquez is all about maximizng their revenue ******s in order to maximize their profits, it's all about money at this point and a smart business move by both fighter. No matter which one loses the fight, both will get the Pac rematch because they hold a win over him. It's like a 2 for 1 deal for both fighters.

Yes , I think they knew Bradley will beat him clearly next time and to do it back to back would have derailed all the big money fights for Manny .
