Bring on Bradley

Business wise.... Provo fight might be better for a build up to Bradley instead of straight to Bradley.
Rios were weak numbers, doesn't matter if being overseas affected the numbers. Bradley fight also didn't break a million, although they were decent for the typical weak undercards and Bradley being virtually unknown. Pacquiao needs to get in there with somebody who's perceived as dangerous and entertaining.
Flash Bradley getting slapped around and the beat down he put on Alvarado and you get the public wet thinking about the fight.

I honestly think ruslan and Timmy brings in about the same amount of attraction. It's not like if it's PAC vs ruslan then the fight will make a lot more compare to PAC vs Bradley. I think people is more interested to see if PAC can get his revenge on Bradley than to see 2 former sparring partners going at it. I will admit that PAC vs ruslan will have more fireworks but in terms of generating money I think it will be the same regardless if it's ruslan or Tim.

Here we go with more BULL**** matchup that are just upsetting fight fans and it's come to a point that people are starting to not care.......

Pacquiao vs Mayweather or nothing!!!!

Yep. They can fight whomever else they want to but when it comes to PPV, they won't get my $ unless they are fighting eachother. Look at 2014 proposed schedule, there are already way too many PPV fights on tap. They are planning 2 each for Floyd and Pac, 3 for Canelo, Cotto vs Martinez, Bradley and Marquez both are gonna likely be in PPV fights either against each other or other opponents. its getting ridiculous.

“Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao’s opponent for his planned April 12 fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas will be decided over the weekend with the choice narrowed down to former sparring partner and WBO light welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov and undefeated WBO welterweight champion Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard that he would meet with Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz at his (Arum’s) home in Los Angeles on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) to finalize details of Pacquiao’s planned fight and that “hopefully we’ll put it to bed.”

So all you guys are cool with the fact that Pac's team are not even trying to make the Floyd fight happen?

I believe Pacquiao recently made a statement that he Is more than willing to fight Floyd but If Floyd doesn't want to fight, then so be It. What Is Pacquiao supposed to do?

Pac v Bradley 2!!! I wana see Pac get vengeance, the Provos of this world can wait.

"Statements" dont mean anything to me.

Not when arent backed up with offers.

JMM has made several statements about not wanting to fight Pac anymore. Guess what, Pac is STILL trying to make the fight happen, offering way more money then JMM is even worth.

Did Pac's team offer Floyd a contract or didnt he?

You asked what Pac is supposed to do... He is supposed to make Floyd an offer he cannot refuse.

It doesn't matter If statements mean anything to you or not. Mayweather said he Is not willing to negotiate or make a fight with Pacquiao as long as he Is associated with Bob Arum. Pacquiao Is currently under contract with Bob Arum. Case closed, fight Isn't happening. What don't you understand? What type of offer Is to be made when Mayweather Isn't willing to accept an offer.

this sucks
just can't see this going any way but bad no matter who he fights
if Pac doesn't lose again 1st, counting on Floyd fighting him in fall
only makes sense giving Floyd's MO
want Pac to just quit now, but money talks so he won't
would rather see Pac lose to Ruslan than that twat Bradley
Ruslan at least is a likeable guy you can root for
Bradley is the much safer option for Pac though since he can't hit
but he didn't deserve old piss drinker's name on his resume
he really doesn't deserve Pac's, especially after robbing him already

Bradley isn't THAT unlikeable. He's a saint compared to guys like Broner. I wouldn't mind Bradley - at least he can talk trash on occasions if he wants to unlike Pac who rarely talk shit (even on occasions us fans wish he would.)

But I do prefer provodnikov to land a fight with Manny, I think he deserves it.
