Comments Thread For: Bradley's Trainer Prefers Pacquiao Fight Over Marquez

Well then Manny can wait till "later" to bargain. Because as of right now, that's a flop.

Exactly man, i know pac will wait and he isnt bargaining as an a-side. 35 i think would be the biggest cut he can have. Knowing floyd. Lol.. I think if pac beats the **** out of bradley then 45 would be a good one.

Yeah he did, but let's be honest this fight belonged on premium HBO, name one fighter who could pull 475k coming off back to back loses and who lost the faith of most of the public. The fact this did what it did is a miracly, as I stated I thought it would do 300k or less. Rios has close to no fan base, sorry but it's the absolute truth, the undercard was crap and the star of the show was someone who had more questions hanging over him than certainty. Still regardless of those factors, he's still the best option for another huge 2 million buy ppv...nobody else in boxing is going to bring Floyd that at this point.

Regardless of whether or not you think it's a miracle, that's what he did. 475K. That's not enough to pull anything more than 35%. Period. And if he wants more then they should do what Schafer says: Open your books and show that he is worth more. Because if you can't justify it with numbers then it doesn't matter.

Bradley beats both IMO. Beats JMM rather easily. Pac's energy and punch output gives him problems. But he outboxes Pac in enough rounds to win the fight.

Homeboy I disagree. Manny IMO beat bradley even though bradley won the last 3-4 rds.

If bradley can fight the rematch like he did those 4 rds he can win. I dont see how he can.

Manny UD/late rd KO.

FLOYD vs KHAN for groupies,PACQUIAO vs BRADLEY for real men!
JMM can retire and kill himself that cry baby tired me too much with his ****** robberies that don't exisit!!!

Both fights you mentioned are going to need some serious undercards...i'm not too pleased about Khan getting a shot at Mayweather..honestly I can't think of what the hell he's done to earn that fight..like seriously. IMO Devon deserved it more and by that standard so did Malignaggi (before he lost to Broner)..unfortunately I think the winner of Malignaggi/Judah gets Floyd next which would honestly be an even bigger travesty. Bradley and Pacquaio need Provodnikov vs Marquez on their undercard.

Of course a Pac fight is better. More money, more opportunity with a win.

I like TB in this fight but it will be a close fight again.

Ease up bro, i've been amicable to you but I can sense the fervor in your typing cool it out. Be receptive to other people's points. It's almost like you surfed over what I said and dismissed it. Think about the opponet his fanbase and the star of the shows last two fights. We don't know how a bradley vs Pacquaio rematch will perform so honestly we don't know what will happen tomorrow. Again Rios vs Pacquaio did the same numbers Chavez vs Martinez did and keep in mind that was a fight that was brewing in the public forum for over two years. Rios was a third option when the other two options declined all in all, the end result isn't as bad when you calmly sit back and look at what it was..this fight was no different than Ward vs Rodriguez with the exception it was ppv.

Floyd-khan would be stacked for it to be worthy,
Canelo vs molina
Garcia-mathysse rematch or broner-thurman or maidana-thurman
Add ortiz vs lopez


Pac-bradley and jmm-provo would be enough to hit at least a million buys.

I read your post fully and maybe you're not getting it. You can't go to the negotiating table and say, "Hey 475K wasn't bad." UNLESS...you can justify it with something else. So the point still stands...unless Top Rank is willing to open their books and show what Manny's PPV's have been these past couple years (and show that it is what they've been parroting), then they've got no bargaining chips.

The World Knows The Biggest FIX In Boxing Was In Place IN the First Pacquiao/Bradley

Bradley for a second time is the no-brainer. These reason his team has stuggled and heard so much backlash from that first fight decision, is because there's never been a more blatant FIX in Boxing. Marquez won't fight Pacquiao. Mayweather won't fight Pacquiao. Pacquiao is a much bigger payday than another Marquez fight. This fight will happen.

You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that but I disagree...Khan, Alexander and Garcia combined don't have the drawing power Pacquaio has but whatever floats your boat. Ain't no other option out there to get Floyd to 2 million buys..that is a harsh reality at this point.
