It was always going to be Bradley. More BS from Bob

[IMDAZED]

i think its smoke and mirrors...Bradley hasn't looked that great lately..i'm not gonna let a good performance vs the worst version of Rios be a gauge


yea they'll have a gameplan but it will be the same ole Bradley once he gets tagged


this fight will be lucky if it sniffs 150K buys

Yeah, I'm not convinced about Bradley's resurrection either but he's not going to go out without giving his all. I think it's gonna be a good one. A PPV flop for sure and not the most intriguing option but one we might enjoy. Pacquiao's legacy is set. Short of beating a Canelo, it's not changing. If he keeps fighting he'll definitely take another L but at this point it's not the end of the world.

"And they felt that Crawford was a great fighter but that even though the boxing fans knew him the public at large hadn't heard of him. They thought Bradley, coming off the victory over Rios and the fact that he looked like a new fighter under Teddy Atlas, would do very well on pay-per-view."

That's B.S. Crawford has done some great numbers and sells out his hometown stadium every time he fights there. And that's not an easy feat. Ward doesn't do it. Thurman didn't do it. Bob is taking Crawford to NY as the main event. If he wasn't known there is no way Bob would try that. Bradley is fighting in bars in las vegas an in a 1/4 full stub hub. Crawford is an exciting fighter and wins in exciting fashion. He's doing his job. If he isn't well known that means Bob ain't doing his job as a promoter.

What kinda bs is this? And I'm not even talking about in the way TS ran with it. Can cable & satellite distributors just be like "nah...we don't wanna show that". Since when are cable & satellite distributors shutting things down like this to begin with. I thought they just took their cut, but if things ultimately don't make money vs what you spent its on you.

Plus Manny fought Chris Algieri on PPV about a year ago ffs. Algieri dreams of being Khan or Crawford popular. And Bhop & Dawson fought on PPV a few years back & made GGG vs Lemieux numbers seem like Tyson vs Lewis numbers.

saint laurent or one punch or Scipio2009 knows how it works

My left nut would look like a new left nut vs Rios.

Respect to Atlas. He's obviously a very capable trainer with proven results, but this Bradley is re-born stuff cuz Atlas is there seems a bit much off of a Rios W. Maybe I'm missing something & there is more going on than a slightly re-focused Bradley & better in between round entertainment, but he's gonna have to beat Manny before I'll be on board.

Rios was coming off the longest layoff of his career, 11 months. And came into camp at 200lbs according to him and Garcia. And he missed weight on his first try.

and was thinking of retiring that whole time until he was forced by his wife to get back in the gym


that was the most pathetic version of Rios we've ever seen

It's called A LIE.

Out of the choices given to him, Pac chose Bradley. Simple as that.

[bojangles1987]

It's a lame, pointless fight. Honestly, we should not have expected any different from Pacquiao and Arum at this point. Other than Marquez 4 and Mayweather, Pacquiao's entire career since Cotto has been a letdown.
