Comments Thread For: Arum: Bradley Becomes 'A' Side By Beating Pacquiao

So his fanbase over here in cali is fake??

Ok prolly just in Palm Spring and that's about it. I'm from SoCal and never even heard people talking about Tim whenever I go to public restroom. (shoot I left that one wide open for a come back)

Uh oh, Uncle Bob is cooking something here. Good thing Manny have atleast a year left in the reserve tank or else Uncle Bob will drain every bit of blood left from Packy. wait! He's doing that already.

You mean none of the guys at the local gloryhole are talking about him??

Huh,

After the 1st fight, Bob was very upset with the outcome, but now, as the 2nd fight is approaching, he appears to be favoring Bradley over Pac. I wonder if he believes that Pac is done and Bradley will be his new Cash Cow? Or if there is some resentment as there is a proposed offer by Mayweather that if he get out of the Top Rank deal, they can have a fight with each other and he can make a lot more money.

Let's here your top p4p. . Because I have a feeling it's sh**. If Bradley isn't a p4p right now, I don't know who is. The man is a former unified champ and current champ over for the most part great opponents. And for being 31 fights, It's quite an achievement.

if he was a jerk and stayed undefeated or one or the other he would be a side.

Bob Arum is certain that the boxing public’s perception of Timothy Bradley is vastly different today than it was before Bradley’s first fight against Manny Pacquiao.

According to Arum, a convincing victory over first-ballot Hall-of-Famer Juan Manuel Marquez and his enthralling slugfest against Ruslan Provodnikov have significantly strengthened Bradley’s brand. If the unbeaten Bradley can score a legitimate victory over Pacquiao in their welterweight championship rematch Saturday night at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Arum expects the Palm Springs, Calif., native to become even more marketable.

Arum knows Bradley is his #1 guy, Pac is catching another loss whether Roach likes it or not.....woooowe, P4P#1 coming up!!!!

Adrien Broner has a better chance @ being a A side then Bradley!!!

Adrien Broner is done man, his best days are behind him just like Khan.

Keep dreaming Bob. Tim could knock Manny out cold and still doesnt have the fight style/personality to headline a ppv. Just like Lara could win every single round against Canelo and he would still never sell. You have to fight a certain way and/or have the personality that brings the fans out. People like to be entertained.

That is so true. Rios has a very good fanbase because of his fighting style and his personality. He's not a top tier fighter, but he is good enough to create a respectable fanbase.

As I think about it more, Bradley will have a win against the Russian, Marquez and possibly 2 against Pacquiao, which would catapult him to the "A" side. Bob will promote the heck out of him, especially with Pacquiao and Mayweather both on the decline. Mayweather is done after next year and if Pacquiao loses against Bradley, he may retire.

Tim already is the A-side! There is absolutely nobody but Floyd and Manny who would be considered the A-side against Tim. Bradley is young, can put on exiting fights, and is Bob's long term investment. IF Pac can't knock Tim out, then Manny is done....

Bradley is not young anymore. He is 30 years old. At that age his skills starts to decline. He might grow old overnight.
