Comments Thread For: Arum: Bradley-Rios Possible, Bradley-Pacquiao Not Sure

[Godsfly]

you guys are wasting your time with bradley vs pac 2.......arum would never make that fight not in a million years.

sad thing is i think bradley would do a hell of a lot better in a rematch.............

[MrRolltide91]

i wonder why

[Jaliscoguey13]

Dont any of Arums fighters ever fight mandatories? Im getting tired of seeing the same 5 fighters fighting each other.

[Hougigo]

Would rather see Provo/Rios no matter who wins.... Bob most likely wants the Provo/Alvarado winner against Pac and stick Bradley with the loser.
That or pursue a fifth Marquez fight with less money than the initial offer

The record retains that the 1st JMM-MP fight was a DRAW...
2004-05-08 Juan Manuel Marquez-Manny Pacquiao; MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA D SD -- referee: Joe Cortez | judge: John Stewart 110-115 | judge: Burt A. Clements 113-113 | judge: Guy Jutras 115-110...

Therefore Manny-JMM is 2-1-1...

I stand corrected you are absolutely right. Thank you.

I share this view.

Bradley said he's not fighting in Asia.

Bradley can't compete with Zou Shiming on a Macau card.

And That very assessment makes me sick cause its true !

Not you , the truth of Arum !!

TR and GB need their AZZZZZ KICKED for cheating the fans !

IF Ruslan wins at 140 then he ought to fight a champion like Danny etc...

Bradley ought to fight May JR or Thurman he has already beaten Devon and would kill KHAN

We are getting SCREWED !!!!!!!!!!!!

Basically as long as I've been a fight fan there's been a divide which prevents fights from happening. In the 90s and early 00s, it was the HBO-Showtime divide. Now, its GBP-Top Rank. Its unfortunate, but it is what it is. I blame the fighters moreso than the powers-thats-be. Because at the highest level of the sport, it makes ZERO sense to sign a multi-fight contract with a network or promoter. But these fighters wanting thay guaramteed money. So they do what they need to do.

Therefore Manny-JMM is 2-1-1...

Even if you thought Pac won th first three fights. He never convincingly beat JMM or established himself as the superior fighter. JMM has the only conclusive win in the series. Therefore he's on top for the time being.

Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas - On Saturday night, WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (31-0-1, 12KOs) boxed his way to a twelve round split decision victory over former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40KOs). The scores were 115-113 for Marquez, 115-113 for Bradley, 116-112 for Bradley.

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum could see a potential fight taking place between Bradley and Brandon Rios (31-1-1, 23KOs) - if Rios is capable of beating eight division champion Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38KOs) on November 23rd in Macau, China.

If Pacquiao wins, there is no guarantee that Arum would be capable of making a rematch with Bradley, who won a controversial twelve round split decision over the Filipino star in June 2012. The fight itself was not sensational and the overall financial success was lower than most of the major events involving Pacquiao in the last few years. [Click Here To Read More]

This sounds fishy to me. Why would Pacquiao not want the belts back?. Why would Arum prevent that?. Shady.
