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

[Hougigo]

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

Probably trying to build it up and give Pacquiao more winnable fights.... he probably will try to make more money off of Bradley coming off the Marquez win

If i were Bradley, i would be calling for a Pac rematch. People will be clamouring for the rematch because they felt Manny won the first fight and was robbed, so the revenge factor will sells. In addition, Bradley also will get a chance at redemption, to settle the matter once and for all and shows who really is the man.

For some reason, i don't feel like Bradley wants the rematch against Pac. If he feels as bad as he says, why not campaign for a rematch? This is the only way to clear the air, Bradley.

Like when he wanted an immediate rematch but they turned him down in favor of Marquez?
Something like that?

This boring fight should convince people even more that Bradley lost against Pacquiao... what Bradley did in this fight to Marquez did NOT even come close to what he did in the Pacquiao fight.. this fight might even show that maybe marquez did throw a lucky punch after all against Pacquiao... because he was also getting beat way worse against pacquaio before the fight ended.


the way bob arum sounds... it seems like he wants pacquiao to lose his next fight, and that basically he's milked that cow as much as he can, so now it's time to move on to the next sucker

Don't be silly. Arum and his (other than boxing) advice has made Manny Pacquiao into not only a Philippino idol who will always be prominent in their history from now on, but also a global icon, with influence stretching far further than just his boxing prowess. He even went with MannyP to speak at election rallies for him. he made him what he is and it's a special relationship not confined to boxing. Arum certainly doesn't want Pacquiao to lose, regardless.

Top Rank has a load of top fighters and potential champions for the years to come, and it's success doesn't depend on Pacquiao . They made him, not the reverse. When Marvin Hagler retired, after spending his whole career with top rank WITHOUT a contract other than mutual loyalty, Top Rank didn't collapse........

A Manny-Bradley fight makes sense, but would be boring for the fans.
Again, foxy Tim would put the spell on the judges. Judges don't resist Tim's spells...

This is what i don't get....is it the fighter who is boring or is it the matchup? People say that "slick" fighters are boring to watch, yet a so-called "exciting" fighter like Pac ends up in a boring fight. If it is the fighter that is exciting, shouldn't he bring that excitement in all his fights regardless of whom he fights?

Excuse me but Manny already beat Bradley and Arum knows it. Unless of course you disagree with the rest of the brain functioning boxing world?

The record book says different , and Manny needs to set the book straight , Bradley wanted the rematch straight away and Manny didnt want it , when it suited Manny Tim didnt want it , when Manny beats B grade Rios they need to fight Bradley , and when Bradley wins clearly he can fight Floyd , maybe thats why Arum is not keen on the fight .

Yea, i remember that, but now is the time to get it. Back then, people were bitter, and prob still is, but Bradley just beat the man who beat the man, and in a more lucrative position to sell that fight better.

Is arum forecasting something about the pac rios fight that we dont know? Who could pac fight next? It certainly wouldnt be the winner of any fight...lol

That depends if Bradley passes on a career high offer from Pac again. JMM also could have fought him on a winning streak, but he'd rather take half the money to lose to Bradley.

bradley beat the man that put pacquiao to sleep.

Bradley also beat the man who Floyd ducked and beat the man who beat the man that Floyd ducked.

Bradley is the man.
