    So basically, a huge long standing company like top rank is unable to multitask and discuss the possibility of a cotto vs Bradley fight because they are planning their own ppv with pac that will likely sell much less than 300k.

      its a step up from pbc which can't put together a single fight but then again thats because they have no money and have to rely on showtime for hand outs

        Arum was asked if there was a possibility the fight could be made! Why discuss any details of a fight not planned at this point. Where is your savior PBC? How can you have over two hundred fighters sign & struggle to make fights? Where is the criticism of Al Haymon?

          I recall Bob being really upset on Cotto leaving Top Rank. Understandable that he does not want to talk about this fight as it's not even in negotiation. If this fight was to happen, it would show what both fighters have left. An ageing Pacquioa still did the number on Bradley in a competitive fight.

          Hope this fight happen but I feel like the Marquez fight, both will want too much money. I don't think Bradley would have a problem with weight demands.

            This might be a ploy as Aaron uses Bradley to get the opponent he really wants but if the fight would happen today I think I go with Tim, even with his poor showing against Pac, this would be a completely different person with a different strategy...

              I don't think Top Rank is eager to make this fight happen due to the bad blood between them and Cotto. In fact, they're gonna obstruct it in any way possible.

                ??? The best fights this year were PBC fights???

                Keith Thurman vs. Shawn Porter
                Leo Santa Cruz vs. Frampton

                Heck even watching Spence BLAST through Algieri Who PAC and Provo. Couldn't even keep down was pretty entertaining and on paper I thought would of been a lot closer.

                And we were SUPPOSE to get Wilder vs. PEDvetkin but he couldn't keep clean.

                Charlo vs. Trout was decent.

                Frampton vs. Quigg was suppose to be better???

                You REALLY hate boxing don't you ??? Why don't you delete your account and quit wasting your time??? Because you obviously don't like the sport. U say dumb sht like that and it proves it!!!

                  I'm buying the fight! Should he a good scrap and MexiCANS always seem to bring out the best in Pac. Their styles should make for a VERY entertaining, action PAC'd fight!!! Plus it might be the last time to see one of the greats of this generation. PLUS it's Top Skank best undercard I think ever.

                  Donaire vs. Magdalena should be good. I think Mag. Wins.

                  And who doesn't want to see Valdez KO That good, decent Japanese fighter???
