Pacquiao's Choice is Bradley

[TOBYLEE1]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Arum rob Pac again with all the talk of him leaving TR to make the Floyd fight next year....

That is another problem right there. The first time around they had said that they couldn't do a rematch because it was a very unpopular decision.

Bradley has fought his way into the picture again after being such a hated fight for the decision.

TR doesn't have any superstars and will attempt to keep Bradley if he wins.

As it stands now Pac and Tim are the most viable opponents for Floyd but are tied up with TR

TR seems to be following a new model with HBO. Invest in foreign fighters (otice how many olympians from foreign countries Bob has signed) with built in ethnic fanbases. THey tend to wotrk for less.

HBO pays GGG roughly 1/2 or 1/3 that SHowtime pays Broner for similar ratings. Can't argue with that.

I think TR is out of the "star" business for now until they can develop their young guys like Verdejo.

Ive been noticing this too. Its almost like HBO/TR are like an international company. While GBP/Shotime are more of an american company...
as far as their marketing strategy anyways.

Yeah. GBP has floyd/canelo/broner so they would seem to have the stronger foundation in North America, eve though TR has Chavez. SHowtime is also backed by CBS so it seems in their best interest to promote north american fighters.

HBO has a much smaller budget so they are adjusting accordingly. If you can get huge ratings while spending nothing that is a good thing. If it gives us good fights I'm glad

tough fight for pac. I would have liked to see bradley get a shot against floyd rather than Kahn but obv with the TR Showtime situation that's about as liekly as pac v floyd.

I'd see pac winning a decision but I think it will be fairly close

Bradley did roll his ankle early in the first fight. I expect this to be a very different fight, wouldn't be surprised to see either guy win it.

wow this again? the ankle excuse?

come on bro this is prizefighting.

On terms of skill and ability, Pacquiao beats Bradley everytime. The problem I have with pac is that he is no longer a killer. He holds back too much. He's fighting with a conscience, when he was at his best without one.

Its no different than the "pacquiao was unmotivated" excuse....

I hope this is true, Timothy Bradley is gonna whoop Mannys ass!!!!

Why would I need to make an excuse when Pacquiao clearly won the fight?

If he lost then I would need excuses.

I don't know how you could score this fight for Bradley. Pacquiao outboxed him easily. He was landing on Bradley and Bradley was landing nothing.

Prov has no fans and Bradley hardly either. However with the robbery it may sell and be motivation.

I actually feel Prov would get outboxed easily by Pac in a real fight. Pac often spars on the ropes and has fun in there, where as in a real fight he uses more movement and hits harder.
