    Yeah, most definitely.....the promotional crap needs to end ASAP. I just used Pac/Floyd as my example because that is obviously the biggest fight out there that people want to see that isn't happening right now. The money would definitely be the best way to force their hands but a MASSIVE influx of emails across the boards would be similar to a protest and money losses would be the nail in the coffin.

      No problem, I'm down to make a bet if Bradley fights Provodnikov or Pacquiao bro, we'll just have to wait and see if either of the fights get done and if they happen we'll make a bet

        Bradley is a good fighter but he was barely competitive in that fight. Not saying he can't beat Manny next time but Marquez went toe to toe for 42 rounds before Knocking Manny out. Bradley, not so much.
        Not really....Bradley was markedly better in rounds 8-12 in contrast to 1-7 and that was on hurt ankles. It was his first ever PPV headline and he was moving up in weight. People like to forget about that or just plain ignore those circumstances. When the bright lights are on YOU for the first time, nerves play a big part, don't think for a second that isn't a big strategy for promoters and the teams of fighters when they "pick and chose" opponents for their star talent. They count on a guy not being able to handle the spotlight and what not, it's a huge psychological advantage for a guy that has been there many times before.

        I feel this is why they did not want to challenge Tim in an immediate rematch, they didn't like how he was able to adapt as the fight went on, even while being hurt. A rematch will be a different ball of wax....that is one of the reasons why they keep looking at everyone but Tim and using money as the reason.

            Aight.......I'll stand behind Timmy until the end...the dude has never, ever let me down. He has a certain fire and character that I just don't see in other boxers, he has the will to overcome obstacles that break weaker men down. Like you said, we'll have to see which fights really come to fruition but you can count on me for a solid bet.

              I been thinking the exact same thing. I don't understand why Floyd fans sided by Broner but disregard Bradley. I know there is that robbery or whatever but he still won. Then won against Provo n Marquez. He is undefeated n has a belt at welter. Even tho this cold war between TR & GBP is going on, he is the one that deserves Money May at this point. IMO by Bradley being used to being the underdog n not letting his champ ego kick in. He will fight the fight with hunger not with trash talk or by being ****y.

                  I thought Bradley was asking for $8 million? Not sure they are willing to pay that much considering the following he has which has an effect on the PPV sales. I like Bradley BTW, I.just don't think he beat Manny.

                    Didn't know c ock y was a bad word (to be censored). Anyways I forgot to state that by Bradley leaving the fights by barely winning thus getting the underdog status. That motivates him to keep working harder for his next fight. He has come along and has learned to adapt to fights. But... he STILL (at least not yet) can't (keep trying to) go toe to toe. As we seen what could happen. Credit to him for the boxers he has been going thru.

                      i rank him higer than floyd

                      he beat the man who beat the man
                      an also technically beat the man himself and is willing to fight pac twice! floyd wont even once ! he has undeniable heart and skill id pick him to ud pac in rematch and maybe even beat floyd
                      other than those 2 no one has a shot at beating bradley at 147
