    I'd rather see Floyd vs. Khan than any of Pac's options.

      Only other possibility is that they are trying to get Guerrero for Bradley and Provo will fight Pac......I really think Provo-Pac is Arum's go to at this point.

        Possibly as Bradley vs Pac II isn't going to bring the hype back to Pac. Nor is it a guaranteed win either. Provo doesn't have the leverage to demand a higher purse and it would be a look good fight for Pac..

        Outside of the Bradley fight, Pac's options are garbage. They've been garbage and I really hope he leaves Bob Arum/Top Rank at the end of the year. He can become a free agent. I hope Bradley does the same. At WW, Mayweather vs Bradley is what I want to see.

          The sincerity of Arum in putting Pac with elusive Floyd will be put into the cross-road. If Arum as many believes would be, will be up for business as usual, hence, he will target Promodnikov to collect much cash he could be, before putting him for Btadley and then for Floyd just in case. Meaning, both fights could be cash-collectibles and he could earn much!

          But putting him to Bradley directly could by-pass Pro fight should Pac wins, as many believes he would. Meaning, he could earn only from Bradley instead of both fights supposedly. But in larger sense, this would put him immediately into bigger chance in collision with Floyd should he wins against Bradley esp. in a very convincing fashion.

          Arum, a pure businessman knows this of course. But the problem is, he knows also that Floyd is not sincere in fighting Pac even Pac reached that helm again. Many believes Floyd is ducking Pac because only Pac (might be due to his unconventional style, speed and solid power) could have the best chance to deliver him into “1 Lost” record of which he could not afford esp. in this point of time of his career because a sooner retirement “for good” is very inevitable. Arum therefore, will opt for Pro fight rather than risking his chance of taking Bradley alone that would signify the end for a better opponent.

            I don't think we will know what's really going on until they announce the opponent, you can't ever be sure with promoters.

              I still like to see the Bradley rematch and would order it on PPV. I'm thinking this will go for April and if all the rumors are true, Garcia will be lined up in the fall, win or lose. I'm still holding out that there can be a truce and Pac could fight someone from GBP, like Alexander or Matthysse

                Yeah man, Arum just doesn't have any more decent fights to put on. I'd rather see Pac/Bradley against the dudes in the GBP stable at least it would be something new not the same old thing time and time again. Floyd-Bradley is the fight I want to see too.

                    Even Gamboa knew it was bull**** and he ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

                      Bradley will pull this one off with no problem this time. He know what he facing now and the worries are gone.
