I just remembered that, back in 2012, a Bradley's fan made funny a vid about that fight...
I looked for it and here it is ():

decision.....Arum needs Tim, he sees that Pac wants to leave plus the tax stuff, Pac will definitely lose a decision.

Pac will win... if i had decent points i would bet lol


Pacquiao will no doubt win this fight. arum needs tim? did you seriously just say that LOL come on my dude. if the fight goes to the cards, i can't see any possible way they give it to bradley. even if he does somehow win, he will get robbed. pacquiao will win this fight. book it.

With not much options in the TR stable I think this would be considered the best choice

SOURCE SAYS BRADLEY IS PACQUIAO'S CHOICE THANKS TO MARQUEZ "DIVA WAYS" AND "MAYWEATHER FACTOR"


By Ben Thompson | January 05, 2014
Over the weekend, Manny Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, met with his promoter, Bob Arum, to decide the next opponent for his anticipated return to the ring on April 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. "I met at Arum's house this afternoon, but nothing is final as Manny and I are looking at all our options," Koncz informed Ronnie Nathanielsz of Philboxing.com not long after that meeting took place. Arum echoed those sentiments, insisting that the final decision is still up to Pacquiao.

"It'll either be [Ruslan] Provodnikov or [Timothy] Bradley. We'll let Manny decide; we'll get a deal made with whoever he chooses and hopefully make the announcement in a week," the Hall of Fame promoter explained in a separate interview with Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Though both men are staying tight-lipped regarding details of their discussion, sources tell us that a decision has indeed already been made, and it looks like all parties involved prefer to avenge at least one of Pacquiao's most recent losses.

"They're going with Tim," stated a source with knowledge of Pacquiao's preference. Evidently, the multi-division world champion was told that a rematch with Bradley would be the better option financially, making his decision a no-brainer given the tax issues he's been facing in both the United States and the Philippines. "Neither guy [Bradley or Provdnikov] are a big draw, but with Bradley, they can at least hang their hat on the fact that there's history between the two fighters. The controversy of their first fight makes it a lot easier to sell than a fight with the Russian kid," our source explained, referring to the fact that Bradley was awarded a split decision victory over Pacquiao despite the fact that many believe that it was Pacquiao who easily dominated that first encounter and deserved the victory.

According to our source, there's also other reasons why Pacquiao will be fighting Bradley in April. "Don't forget that the [Juan Manuel] Marquez is being a thorn in the side of everyone. He doesn't want to give Pacquiao a chance to avenge the KO and he's demanding that he be given the rematch with Tim, even though he acted like a sore loser after their fight. He's acting like a diva, and nobody wants to deal with that. Just about everyone - Manny, Tim, and even Bob - would love to stick it to him and leave him with no other option than the Russian. Plus, in some ways, Manny can make people forget about the KO to Marquez if he himself can KO Bradley, who just beat Marquez. And don't forget the Mayweather factor. With Tim still being undefeated, an impressive win over him will go a long away in restoring Manny's claim to Mayweather's pound-for-pound throne," our source added.

Under most circumstances rematching a guy most people thought you beat would be considered a cherry pick but since its slim pickins at WW for TR fighters its just business as usual.

how about you be a little more honest about what elotero is saying:

this dude is really insinuating that fighting a top 3 P4P undefeated WBO champ in bradley, who most, including me, thought Manny beat 8-4 and got robbed by the judges, is a cherry pick.

I don't use the term so no, I don't.

that said, you knew his point and tried to make it seem like he was saying something else.

How can it be a cherry pick when Pac is fighting the legit number 2 in the division, who just schooled a great mexican fighter and is currently ranked by most as a legitimate top 5 p4p fighter, top 3 in some eyes. and none of that BS guerrero/Canelo ranking **** either.

Plus, in all honesty, the WW division is dying, outside of the top 4 of Floyd, Bradley, JMM and Pac, who else is there?

Pac v Bradley is a legit fight and since Floyd has been ducking Pac for years, its the best fight to be made at 147.
