Roach says bradley wants too much money and might run all night

[NEETzsche]

so they outright refuse to face an opponent who won't play right into their hands.

Sure, Tim won't run this time.
That is why Roach wants Prov, instead -- which is much better for Manny right now... A friendly sparring is the best he could get...

That's all here:

"I don't want my own guy, Ruslan, losing, because we've worked so hard on making him what he is today," Roach continued. "But my sense is, when it comes down to it, it could be Ruslan next for Manny. He comes in to town today. I've asked him about it, and he said he'd rather retire [than fight Manny]. And I said it would be a big payday and his family would be secure. He said, 'I don't fight for money, I fight for love of sport.' He doesn't care how much he could make. I told him I wouldn't blame him if he took the fight. We have to make a living and our activity time is very short. I'm trying not to make it happen, but to be honest, it's probably the best fight for Manny. I've seen them spar many times and it is competitive."

Hmm, Roach said the same thing about JMM. That he wanted too much money for a 5th fight.

So Arum/Pac aren't willing to give TB/JMM a decent pay, they don't have many options. Other than Prov and Alvarado, all other options would just be rematches.

how much more money is bradley asking?? wtf...bradley has a small fanbase...

[IMDAZED]

So many excuses in three sentences. They don't wanna fight Bradley.

But ruslan wont fight mannybecause he doesn't fight for money he fights for the love of the sport.

isn't a chance at defeating a 1st ballot HOF'er something one would do for the love of the sport?

I'd assume, but if I put those Manny fancam goggles on I'd probably see it differently

[The Problem Child]

LOL, who does Bradley think he is? He got his ass whooped in the first fight, what is he on about.

He is the one who needs to beg for the fight but of course he knows he'll get his ass kicked and sent into a wheelchair again so he'll make everything in his power to just close that ugly chapter of his career. He is dead scared of another Pac beating.

I'm not even doubting ruslan's sincerity, it just sounds funny to hear freddie say ruslan told him he fights for the love of the sport while refusing a manny fight.

What was so difficult to understand?

Exactly. How much will Bradley make fighting Juan again?

Bradley knows his 0 is gone, and it will offically go this time with Pacquiao.
