    Seems like a quick turnaround for Tim. I wasn't expecting him back til the end of the year.

    If he's fighting fit & ready to go ago fair play. The PPV angle seems a bit much after a PPV 3 mos before, but if the fight is good & the card is good fair play there too.
    i don't see how hbo can do 2 ppvs in a month. bradley's minimum is 2mil and crawford just got 1.3 for lundy so no way they can be on the same card unless they fight each other which they say they wont

    i think this is bad info. maybe its cotto but that would probably have to wait to aug

      Would he really take on a big-name opponent on that short of a turnaround?

      Roc Nation needs a PPV opponent for Cotto, so if he's willing to come down in weight I guess that fight makes some sense...although nobody is really clamoring for that fight.

      Brook and Garcia don't seem likely.

      I didn't think Marquez was going to fight this summer, especially not against a top level fighter.

        Idk Tim & Terence are tight. Maybe Tim is trying to help out his partner. If you throw Tim on that card it probably looks a whole lot better to HBO. And they can always figure out the money. I mean Manny with his $20M out of the way now allows for much lower PPV numbers to turn a profit for everyone.

        Although you could be right about the bad info too. I'm just taking it at face value, but I can't recall someone doing a PPV 3 months after a PPV.

                They could easily do that fight at 154.

                    Bradley-Cotto @ 152-154 makes sense. Should definitely make that if Bradley can't get Brook. So much better than a Vargas rematch.

                      TI'm should take more time off than that since he's been in some tough fights. Cotto and Marquez are taking summer off I thought.
