Comments Thread For: Arum: No One Should Laugh At Golovkin-Bradley Bout

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bob Arum is intrigued by the idea Timothy Bradley floated recently about moving up to middleweight to challenge Gennady Golovkin.

That shouldn’t surprise anyone, since Arum’s company, Top Rank Inc., promotes Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs, 1 NC) and would make money off that fight. Bradley has never fought above the welterweight limit of 147 pounds, but that didn’t stop Arum from mentioning a potential Bradley-Golovkin clash during a press conference Thursday to promote Bradley’s WBO welterweight title fight against Jessie Vargas (23-0, 9 KOs) on Saturday night at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. (HBO; 9:45 p.m. ET).

good ***in joke to start the day

To be frank, I'm su****ious that this is part of some overall plan to put pressure on Mayweather to fight Golovkin. De La Hoya is making noise about the fight, and you now have a Jr. Welterweight calling Golovkin out.

I don't think Bradley will step in the ring with Golovkin but it'll serve the purpose of getting people to question why Floyd is not showing the same eagerness.

it is actually a little weird how much attention golovkin has been getting lately. mayweather, de la hoya and arum are three of the most powerful men in boxing and they can't keep golovkin's name out of their mouths lately. maybe they would like to sign him

Well the old name dropping trick before a fight , watch them go quiet once Saturday fight pass us by

Arum wants to match Golovkin with Bradley and Rameriz on the same night. One guy's 5 inches shorter the other 5 inches taller.

He's right no one should laugh, everyone should.

TR and GB both met with Golovkin back in 2009, but were sent cease & desist letters by Universum. They've wanted him for a long time.

Everyone should laugh, because it's an awful mismatch.

This could actually be true.
