Nah, fck the Provo fight, I for one will be looking forward to this rematch. Bradley is the type of boxer that provides a solid challenge to Manny. I believe their first fight was a lot closer, perhaps could have gone either way. The rematch will be tougher for Manny, because Bradley is now familiar with it, he knows how the punches feel. Manny didn't look as good against Rios, while Bradley has done well against top boxers. So in order to make a real case to make the Floyd fight happen, Manny should beat Bradley convincingly.Comment

The reason they (Mayweather's ******ed groupies) complain about rematches is because it's a useful angle to attack Pacquaio and Arum, especially when there is no other reason to complain.
Floyd fans have basically created paradigms as to what is an acceptable fight if you're Manny Pacquaio.
- No catchweights
- No rematches
- The opponent must be coming off a win
The catchweight thing was particularly funny when Floyd fought Canelo at 152. Pac should absolutely do more catchweights now, as he won't catch the same heat now that Mayweather has done it also.
The opponent coming off a win means fighting a Khan and Guerrero is theoretically more acceptable than fighting Marquez 5. There was actually a post I called out where someone accused Manny of cherry-picking JMM for a fifth fight - "same old Pac, always picking fighters coming off losses". Yup, fighting the guy who knocked you out cold 2 fights ago is a cherrypick now.
Finally, the rematches angle. Obviously, with TR's small pool at 140-147, fights are going to be recycled. I understand it's not ideal - but a great fight is a great fight, no matter how many times it has happened. JMM-Pac 4 was absolutely epic, the most legacy defining of our generation. If it was up to Mayweather's cretinous, faqqot-ass, uneducated, ugly, disgusting fanbase, that fight would never have happened (though they sure did hi-jack the win from the Marquez fans afterwards).
Mayweather's extreme fans are just scumbags, plain and simple. I wish them all the very worst in life.Comment

Of course it's a compelling rematch...Bradley is arguably now the #2 fighter at 147 and a champion and still undefeated even though he should've lost the first fight. So yeah out of the two top boxing names active in the sport one is fighting the #2 boxer in the division and the number #1 guy is going to be fighting someone who should be ranked like #18 at 147 I think TR has the better headlining event out of the two. Now give us a some decent undercards and let's goooooo. The true story here is what happens to Marquez? Seems like he may end up having to fight a nobody or have no choice but to fight Provodnikov. Or maybe Rios?Comment
