    I would expect a guy with over 16k post to be more informed.

    Bradley willingly fought Ruslan's fight to erase all the negative responses he got from the controversial decision over Pacquiao. He abandoned the gameplan and didn't listen to his corner during the fight. If he fought Ruslan like he did Marquez he wouldn't have taken as much damage.

    The Marquez fight speaks for itself. He took very minimum damage compared to the Ruslan fight.
    The marquez fight didnt prove much of an improvement on Bradley. Anyone who fights JMM like that will win. Even Nacho said "If Bradley runs, we will lose"

      i agree. don't get me wrong I think tim is a top p4p fighter but I don't kno what huge improvements were displayed since the manny fight. He did show toughness, bravery and, lets be honest, ******ity in the ruslan fight then got back to the old tim in the JMM fight.

      I get a win over tim means more and the tim fight outsellls the ruslan fight-but given the context the ruslan fight is more appealing imo.

        I think the ruslan fight is the better fight myself. its new. isn't that the road less traveled.
        C'mon man! Are you just replying for the sake of argument?

        Ruslan is a former sparring partner who both Pacquiao and Roach are very familiar with. Ruslan's style is identical to Rios, a style that is made to order for Pacquiao.

        Bradley on the other hand is almost a completely different fighter. Compare his style in the first Pacquiao fight with his most recent fight against Marquez. He's much more slick now and unless he ends up spraining his ankle again, the fight should be more competitive this time around.

          but that also means ruslan is familiar with Manny right? while I agree with the style analysis I still prefer the fight. we don't know how manny/ruslan plays out. we have a good idea how tim/manny 2 would.

          If you take away cj ross and duane ford-no one would want to see the tim rematch. right?

          He fought differently b/c manny and JMM fight differently.

            Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez might both be undefeated heading into their highly anticipated Saturday night bout, but the guaranteed purse for each fighter is anything but equal...


            Inform yourself toughguy!!!!

            of course fanbase is the most important thing you smartass. why do you think fighters with strong fanbase always sell the most ppvs?

            and looks like you didn't even read that article you posted. his contracted guarantee is $5 million plus the upside which could go up to $12 million.

            "He will end up making more than $5 million," Schaefer told Rafael. "He is going to make a significant upside because of the pay-per-view. It doesn't matter that he is getting $5 million [on the night of the fight] because he will make millions and millions more because I guaranteed him money on the pay-per-view, but I don't want to say how much."

                  I just hopped in, but If fanbase was a problem, wouldn't it be better now than when the first fight happened?

                  I mean, it wasn't a problem then and now his list of opponents are pretty thin. Marquez totally gone, Bradley and then Provo. You can't even mention Guerrero for April because no way he gets out of court, let alone GBP, by then. Also I don't think Brook because he seems set on the IBF

                  This is all of a sudden an either or situation....and lol if Alvarado gets the call....that'd just be, well embarrassing.

                  Just make Provo if Bradley thing is a huge issue

                    exactly. tim and his people can argue tim ahs been on 3 ppv's- b side in 2 mains and the major name in a semi main.

                    ruslan has been on wcb, bad and fnf.

                      i have no idea what race u're and i dont care but why does it seem like u dont want pac vs bradley again because u feel pac beat tim already the first time and will beat him decisively this time around so that would mean pac beating a young slick prime undefeated AA fighter. is that why u dont want this match up to happen???

                      because u're going back on all the shiiet u've been preaching. pac vs ruslan would be a fight that u would criticized for months but now all of a sudden u want this fight so bad over the bradley rematch??? ur starting to act like a p@ctard thats not cool..
