    Yeah but Bradley's commercial value isn't that great I never even hear casual fans bring up the PAC/bradley fight other then most though PAC won. And people are still unsure about PAC seeing as how he fought the windows version of Margo. And to top all that it was a pretty boring fight and bradley made it about as ugly as he could plus PAC half assed the whole fight.

    It needs help maybe you or I and the rest of the real boxing fans wanna see it but a big foty with PAC /Provo would get people really talking about PAC again and if bradley beats Marquez again bradley gets to bring up the fact he handled the guy who knocked PAC out with ease twice and PAC can say I just beat the **** outta the guy who most people felt you robbed and he rocked and beat your ass pilar to post

    It can be a much better rivalry then it is now just needs the pieces plus in all of this I think if Marquez lost to bradley again he'd retire thank god great fighter but he *****es to much nowadays.
    But the problem with your previous post is, you used Manny as a means to build the Bradley fight up even more.

    Paraphrasing, but you said, "if Manny does better against Prov than Bradley, it builds the fight up even more." Something along those lines.

    #1. Pac is Pac, no need to build up anything.

    #2. Bradley only slugged it out with Prov to prove the doubters wrong, and prove something to himself. 9/10 times, he outboxes the breaks off of Prov.

    #3. He just beat JMM. Just got enough exposure, where we don't have to go through 2 fights, to see the one that really means something.

    #4. No need to sell this fight. It sells itself.

      Spot on bro,

      If mayweather-khan and pac-bradley be held on the same day and in two different venue, I will bet all my points here in nsb that pac-bradley will outsell mayweather khan.

      Pac-bradley needs no exposure coz bradley built his stocks high this year. And as what you said pac is already pac no need for introductions and further exposures.

          Provo is gassy as hell, and Pacquiao's punches were apparently cutting him up (literally) in sparring, he had to wear a special headguard.

          This fight is fairly pointless imo.

            Exactly!

            Easy money i think for both. Foty sparring between pac and provo.

            I think pac wants provo to earn a hefty purse thats why he will allow this

              provo is a real warrior fighter. he'll fight anybody just because it's his job to do so. unlike fucking scared coward floyd the fraud gayweather.

                They would never fight 10 times - Bradley would be punch drunk after the 3rd one. They won't even rematch, Bradley wants none of it and I can't blame him.

                  Wasn't there stories of Pac really outclassing Prov in sparring? Who knows if this fight gets made or not at this point but it would probably be competitive early with Pac taking over and clearly winning if it ever happened.

                  This Pac wouldn't stop Prov though, too merciful these days, he didn't want to hurt Rios when the build up had bad blood, so he won't want to hurt someone he trained with.
                  I think Manny should, and probably will, fight Tim.

                    Pacquiao doesn't have stamina either. Provodnikov paced himself extremely well in the Alvarado fight but yeah, cuts could be a major problem here for Ruslan. It also wouldn't be far fetched for a hail mary KO by Prov as Ruslan will sell himself out to land a bomb more than anyone.

                      This fight does seem pointless, at least for Pacquiao. He has everything to lose and nothing to gain. This Is not a knock against Provodnikov, but what does a win for Pacquiao due to elevate his status?
