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

[turnedup]

Smart move...now maybe that'll press Marquez into accepting Provodnikov's call out...that's a fight I want to see, slap that on the undercard and we have a good ppv that'll pull in some good numbers for all involved and from the sounds of it they could all use a big ppv event. Marquez needs to fight for his own tax issues, Provodnikov wants a decent payday, Bradley isn't going to take less money to fight Rios/Alvarado and i'm not sure who he could fight on Top Rank that wouldn't be a premium cable fight, Pacquaio is in the same boat..a provodnikov fight isn't likely to happen and Alvarado would do horrible numbers, Jmm doesn't want a fifth fight.

If Anything, a Pac win would make Marquez want to take the fight because Pac has the belt and he already beat Pac.....I'll find it funny if he doesn't want to

I agree, that will be a great event, Marquez-Provodnikovin on undercard will be good for boxing fans.

Excellent attitude by Bradley's trainer ... respect

I don't think Marquez makes the same mistake Pacquaio did in tempting fate, this saga should've ended in their third fight win, lose or draw..Pacquaio tempted fate one too many times and paid the price for it. Marquez outside of the two KD's looked absolutely horrible in the ring that night, he'd really be putting himself out there and asking for the Knockout to be repaid.

Absolutely! Having two monsters on your undercard is a good sale to the public and especially the HBO crowd.

I hate when boxers and their team say "its all up to the promoter". Do they not realize that the promoter works for THEM? They're the talent. They're the money makers. Where did all this "its up to my promoter crap start at?"

I think you and many others have become spoiled by the way Mayweather operates...everyone else doesn't have that luxury. If you want the best payday you leave that to the negotiators, and pretty much every boxer in the sport does with the exception of one. The reality is when you are the top dog everyone wants to fight you and will agree to pretty much anything in order to make the fight happen. Sometimes naming your opponent puts you in a spot where you may have to settle for less because the other guys promoter knows you want the fight and in all likelihood he can now get a better deal for his guy. I think it favors a fighter to let the public start clamoring for who they should fight.

Since Floyd and his team has come up with every excuse under the sun to not fight Pac, I would look forward to Pac/Bradley II. Bradley is prime and coming off of the biggest win (real win not gift) of his career. Make it happen!

What I'm saying is, if Bradley and his team really want Pacquiao, then DEMAND Pacquiao. Never mind all that "well its the promoters decision" crap. Without the talent the promoter is nothing. Both are under the same promotional company. Negotiations should go smooth.
