Who does Bob Arum want to win - Pacquiao or Bradley?

[Dr Rumack]

If Pacquiao loses he's more or less done as a PPV attraction. Marquez will want Bradley, and he would probably retire before being forced into a fifth fight with Manny. Especially with no title on the line. What else can Top Rank do with him? Alvarado? Provodnikov? They can't sell those as PPV fights if Pacquiao loses to Bradley.

Bradley on the other hand can take a close loss and not really be damaged by it. Obviously a clear win would be huge, but a loss is nowhere near as final for him as it is for Manny.

I think deep down inside Arum wants Pac to win even if he has Bradley under contract for a couple of years. If Pac beats Bradley by decision Marquez won't fight Pac but if Manny beats Bradley by KO. That's a big if everybody will say Manny is back and the public will want to see Marquez vs Pac 5 and Arum will have to come up with the money to make both fighters happy.

Maybe Arum can squeeze a contract extension on Pac if Arum can get Marquez to agree to a fifth fight with Pac for the last and final time. It is the only way the Bob father can make some real money off both these fighters before they retire. Let's see how hungry Pac really is if he can hurt Bradley and finish him off this can happen. Pac is Arum's cash cow no way he wants Manny to lose to Bradley.

I would pay big bucks to see a Provo that learned some boxing vs a Bradley that learned some fighting.
If Bradley tries to box like he did vs JMM, then the win would be much easier, but it would be a snore if he runs 90% of the time.

[LoadedWraps]

Is he backing that rising Bradley stock, or is he with the ageing but still marketable Pacquiao?

Obviously Bradley, everyone knows he's the next cash cow.

Well Trowbridge is judging so that's one vote for Pac already provided that's how Arum wants it to go.

Can't remember if Michael Pernick has been involved in any dodgy decisions. He was the dissenting judge in Abraham-Stieglitz which was his most notable card recently.

John Keane scored Ward-Froch 118-110 making him the only judge who actually saw that fight correctly.

John Keane called in sick so he was replaced with Craig Metcalfe who scored Ward-Froch 115-113 for Ward. However he did have the widest score in the Mayweather-Canelo fight but all 3 of those scorecards should have read 120-108 for Mayweather
