    At the end of the day, Uncle Bob just wants his money. It's the best fight for both fighters financially.

      Yep. Arum is a lot of things but ****** is not one of them.

      If it makes money then it will make sense to him.

          Earlier this year there was talk of Cotto defending the MW belt against Bradley and I was totally against that idea.

          But now that Cotto doesn't have the belt and Bradley looked great vs Rios I am open to the idea. Bradley is way too small to fight for a MW belt, but now a 150ish catch weight can be made which I think would be fair for both fighters.

          I think the fight is the best $ alternative for Bradley while still being a fight worth making (too small for Canelo and really already lost to Pac twice).

          I think it would be a toss up fight, it's not like Cotto is going to have to respect Bradley's power the way he did vs Canelo last night. Both guys can box and also brawl which makes it pretty interesting.

            Fun fight now at possibly 152 in New York. Cotto by TKO in the final rounds.

              Cotto would be in fear of Teddy giving another fireman speech to Timmy, fight would never happen.

                Fight would have to be ppv, and I don't think it draws enough interest for that.

                Otherwise I'd love to see it. 2 of best examples of how a price fighters should act going head to head, would be a great fight.

                  This fight would have to be on HBO because they'd lose money on a PPV. Meaning both guys would have to take less money than they want. Meaning it probably won't happen.

                  But if it does there is absolutely no way it would be at a catch weight. Catch weights are only made when it benefits the A side, and in this case Cotto has zero reason to cut extra weight for a Bradley fight. He's the A side and will dictate the terms. That's boxing business 101.

                      Bradley wins this competive fight, with teddy in his corner he might get the knockout ! The reason being they're firemen and are not afraid of the fire !!!
