Comments Thread For: Arum on What’s Next For Bradley, Potential PPV Foes

[GodInFleshSuit]

Arum is trying hard to convince us that Bradley is PPV worthy. His only entertaining fight was against Provodnikov and that's because the Russian had him stumbling around the ring like a drunk. Arum needs to save the Bradley fights for HBO.

Lol@ these promotional company cheerleaders. Like one is any better than the other.

At 140-154, hell yeah one is better than the other.

Sure they'll both be setting up in-house fights, but look at the fighters GBP/Haymon have at 140-154, and tell me GBP and boxing fans won't benefit more from GBP/Haymon in-house fights rather than TR in-house fights.

I'll definitely give Top Rank the lower weights, they have the advantage down there. But from 140-154, the premium weight classes,that's all GBP.

140: Garcia, Khan, Matthysse, Peterson, Soto.
147: Mayweather, Guerrero, Broner, Alexander, Maidana, Thurman, Malingaggi, Lopez, Berto, Cano.
154: Mayweather, Canelo, Trout, Lara, Ortiz, Angulo, Charlo. (I don't care about Bundrage or Molina).

140: Alvarado, Provodnikov, Khabib, Mayfield.
147: Marquez, Bradley, Pacquiao, Rios, Jones, Abregu, Vargas.
154: Cotto, Martirosyan

You guys pick sides instead of holding them both accountable, and were the ones who miss out on potential matches.

I always want the promotional companies to give the fans stacked undercards. And also to match their fighters tough, instead of putting them in mismatches just so that they look like world beaters.

Of the two big companies GBP does that more often than Top Rank which is why I pick their side.

Right

@Soosay


Is right. The fans should be running the show. I guarantee
In the future the fans will get more respect.

Top Rank doesn't have many options when your 140-147 stable consist of PAC,JMM, Bradley, Rios, Alvarado,The Russian, & Mayfield. Marquez is going to retire he might have 1 more fight PAC has a couple of fights left. Its just really thin and there's only so many intriguing match ups that can be made with that list . you'd think after a year or two all TR match ups will have been made and after that It's looks really bleak for them unless they can bury the hatchet with GB . Schaffer probably right TR ship is sunk it will just take some time to realize it. But it's all ready starting to show Top Rank has the ability and names to put on a good main event but GB is putting on stacked cards top to bottom

Its a shame because 140-154 in my opinion are the best divisions with the most recognizable names and GB has a headlock on those divisions. Their roster is sick and the match ups they have is almost endless possibilties.

Im tired of all these recycling fights smh

Then he needs to do his job and call Leonard Ellerbe

Al Haymon gets paid three ways..the promoter and both fighters..but he's not the problem since he gets his nut one way or the other. The issue is/has been Richard Schaeffer...Schaeffer always wanted the spot TR once occupied as the powerhouse for the networks. Lou Dibella himself has aired out Schaeffer's attitude towards match making. How many years has Dibella been trying to get Sergio Martinez bouts vs GBP fighters...most notably Floyd. Three years ago "I'll fight for a flat 20% i'm that sure I can beat him and he can dictate every other term he wants" -Sergio Martinez. Three years, almost 4 years later not one single mention of doing any sort of business with Dibella, hell Canelo needs an opponent you think GBP has even looked over at these guys? Nope. Arum may be a dou-chebag but at least we know the devil because he shows his horns..Schaeffer puts on a hat and claims to be a saint.

You obviously are the ******ed moron here on a 24/7 medication. Floyd/JMM was a sleeper compared to Tim/JMM and if you are not impressed by the way Bradley handled Juan then you are not only ******ed moron but a stu pi d f vck that thinks you know something about boxing. Oscar and Floyd use to fight for TR didn't you know that? Tim fought real fighters while Floyd fought made up fighters so yes, Floyd will lose to Tim, you heard that from me first. Now go take more medication before you totally lose your senses

Whatever drug you're on, you should stop using because you sound absolutely ******ed. If you thought any part of that Bradley/Marquez fight to be entertaining, you have selective vision. TR fighters more exciting than GB fighters? You must subscribe to the TR channel? Floyd lose to Tim? I'm done...

Cameron Dunkin picks the opponent so despite what people's animosity towards Arum and Top Rank is at the end of the day Bradley's contract is not structured like Pacquaio's..

So Cameron Dunkin is to blame for this round robin of recycled Top Rank in-house fights?

[iloveboxing2]

Well, I do and I will put money on Tim if ever the fight happens. Big underdog, that's a lot of money for less.

You know damn well you don't believe that
