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

[Boxing Goat]

Right now I think Bradley beats everyone Top Rank has from 140-147. Bobfather isn't letting him fight outside of the company.

Did u forget pacquiao was with top rank or something?

Bradley Never Beat Pacquiao & It Wasn't Even Close

And JMM never drug tested for Pacquiao. He was behind on all scorecards which everyone wants to ignore before he landed his Hail Mary. Bradley had drug testing in place for Marquez, JMM looked old, slow, and had less power, and Bradley stayed away all night. Both took HALF the money to fight each other as opposed to having a rematch with Pacquiao. Poor, ****** business. PAC will destroy Rios quickly and Provo will train wreck Alvarado; then what? Sounds like Provo should fight Marquez if the whiner really feels he got robbed again. Marquez has become the biggest baby each time a decision doesn't go his way. Listen, Pacquiao & Provodnikov dominated Bradley and got screwed from a decision. So shut up and fight Pacquiao or Provodnikov, or go fight a washed up Erik Morales you ducked your entire career; you can probably beat him now!

Bradley is the man in welterweight right now unless Floyd willing to uproot him early in his position which I believe he would because this what Floyd like much, an easy fight. But if Floyd left the welters to compete a little much longer, then I think Bradley needs to fill the gap, he needs to fight Pac one more time to illiminate doubts. Besides, fighting Pac would boast his financial savings even more because only these 3, Floyd, JMM, Pac could offer him that high. So, I think Arum is wrong when he said Bradley will not probably fight Pac if Pac wins from Rios. Bradley is now the superstar in welter, and much different from his fight with Pac the first time when he was just nobody in welters, and the second time collision is what the people wanted! The winner will secure his position to fighr Floyd, but of course, Floyd will duck Pac should that fight happen and Pac will emerge as winner over Bradley in a very convincing fashion.

I am also highly su****ious on Arum comments.. It seems that a cook is again in placed for a well-cooked result just like the Pac-Bradley fight to make a new superstar in his promotions. He is more inclined for Bradley-Rios than Bradley-Pac 2.. I just hope Pac will shatter Rios to foil any malicious attempt of Arum because I could sense that a newly picked superstar is on tha making again in Arum's kitchen to match with Bradley!

[GRUSTLER]

Have to ask yourself. Why would Bob Arum not want to make this fight happen? Seems like the most Logical fight considering the history.

[GRUSTLER]

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........

What do you call the Timothy Bradley fight then? Do you think if Arum didn't want Manny to lose that Bradely would have gotten the nod when it was obvious that Manny won the fight? Pacquiao was the draw and Champion. You're delusional if you think that decision could have went down without Arum's approval. Look at Chavez Jr/Vera. Arum fights are mostly clouded with controversy and shade. Arum is a control Freak so no way do I believe Pacquiao loses a decision without the say so. Bradley is undefeated and that is precious to Arum.

[noStylez]

That's some bs...Arum either trying to build up Bradley, who knows since the Mayweather Pac fight will probably never happen, Pac's last fight could be the Bradley rematch.

Why would Pacquiao fight Bradley again

Why would Pacquiao fight Bradley again?. Everybody on the planet, except for the ****** judges knows Pacquiao won. Bradley doesn't have the draw of other fighters, and Pac shouldn't fight him just because they both are with Top Rank.

@TLC8

Great Post!!!

[AboveTheBelt]

Now that Bradley has positioned himself as a legit contender by beating Marquez, the rematch with Pacquiao will NOT happen soon. Maybe years from now. Arum just made a comment at BoxingScene.com that Bradley-Rios is possible and Pacquiao-Bradley NOT SURE. WHY? Simply because Pacquiao is now in his last leg as a fighter and Bradley is now tops and probably in line against Mayweather which will make tons of money. Arum knows that Mayweather-Pacquiao will NEVER happen and, naturally, Arum will hone Bradley as his future cash cow while still enjoying tremendous income from Pacquiao. If Bradley is matched up against Pacquiao next, Arum knows that Pacquiao will probably KO Bradley this time around and wouldn't want to jeopardize Bradley's income potential against other viable opponents. Arum is purely business.
