      This is all self-explanatory. In-house fights are supposed to contain the loot and not go in many different directions. And this is Arum we're talking about. The only promoter who is fond of rematches, trilogies...

        Simple bc bob wants to make Bradley his new star/cash cow, with pac retiring soon (supposedly and hopefully ) and the series already being "1-1" all bob has to do is make sure bradley wins and all the sudden hes the bad man that beat pac twice"..which he hopes will bring in the bucks with tims future fights.

          Pac did not pick Bradley, Arum did. Arum was just feeding the public bullcrap about Pac picking his next opponent. It was never about Pac picking anybody. It was always about how much money would Arum make off of Pac's next fight.

          Pac vs. Khan means Arum can only dip into Pac's purse. Haymon factor.
          Pac vs. Broner means Arum can only dip into Pac's purse. Haymon factor.
          Pac vs Bradley means Arum can dip into Pac's and Bradley's purse.
          Pac vs. Crawford means Arum can dip into Pac's and Crawford's purse.

          Then it comes down to a sure win vs. a possible win when picking between Bradley and Crawford. Truthfully, Pac has beaten Bradley twice so he's likely to beat him again. Crawford is a mystery. Although a lot of people think Pac will beat him (I'm not one of them), the risk of Pac losing is not worth the gamble from Arum's perspective IMO.
          People (haters) say Haymon and PBC are giving the world garbage fights (I don't feel this way). Well, I would like to know WTF is this fight Arum is pushing. How are they going to spin this as a good fight? This fight is pure bullsheeeet!

              Pacquiao's looking for an easy style match up and one which brings maximum results. He fights Bradley, even at this stage beats him 9/10 times and wins yet another world title.

              Against Khan there's a real risk of losing and no title. Khan should have been smart these last couple years and picked up a welter strap, instead he wasted time letting May string him along like a teenage girl.

                I think Pacquiao would fight anyone, but its more than clear he has very little to no input on these decisions. Arum was signing a deal with Bradley while Pac was talking about Broner.

                    If Khan were smart, he would have fought Alexander for the IBF strap back in 2013.
