Arum Is Leveraging Provo To Get A Deal Done Between Pacquiao & Bradley

And rightfully so. PAC and Provo have fought hundreds of rounds together and are very close friends. Arum is staging Provo as a viable option to get Bradley signed. Bradley is not going to take half the money to fight Marquez again, when there is no need to fight Marquez again. Bradley gets huge money in another Pacquiao fight, and that's the fight that comes together. Then when Pac stops Bradley, then we'll see how bad Marquez wants that 6th Title he keeps crying about. See if a 5th Pacquiao fight happens then!

Exactly!

Marquez is an overhyped *****, remove Pac from his resume and his a just a normal fighter. His resume does not warrant greatness.

Hulkquez will never be in the same league as MAB and El terrible.

If jmm is overhyped pac shouldn't have had a problem beating him. Tbh pac and jmm have very similar builds. So if jmm is dirty then pac is dirty.

2 - 1 - 1

And you know when did JMM changed? fights 3 and 4.
And a coincidence is that on fights 3 and 4 he hired memo for it.

Pac is dirty? did pac hire memo a known chemist that can evade any drug testing protocol except vada. lol

That's fine for you to say..I respect and accept your disagreement. Thank you for stating it so eloquently. For the record I do not think Pacquaio schooled Bradley but I do believe he beat him.

Come on Little Man. Marquez actually out landed Pacquiao in their first 2 fights. Both of them passed the drug test, and It was just last November that Pacquiao passed the Olympic style drug Test.

I pray it Bradley; I think both have grown and learned since their last meeting.

[Pain~Lucy]

I think pacquiao will choose bradley because after this he's out of toprank and may be fight ruslan on the other promotion

[straightleft]

Provodnikov will get the call as he fits the mold of the fighter Pacquiao looks good against [ie comes straight ahead, doesn't know what a jab is, no defense].

Pac looked good against Oscar, Hatton, Mosley and Cotto while Floyd looked merely ordinary against them so what is your point?

[Hougigo]

Most likely Provo next,IMO, with Bradley in November

[4Corners]

It should be Bradley, but I wouldn't hate on Provonikov. It's not a good or great win, Provo isn't the best at 140 even, but it's a decent fight. Way better then Rios was.

Part of me really hopes its a Bradley rematch. Legacy wise both fighters have a chance for redemption of some kind, if you know what I mean...

The Prov fight, while it would be a good fight in itself it means a whole lot less for legacy and you can bet your bottom $$$ that Manny would give us his "we aren't trying to hurt each other", crap once Prov starts looking bust up...

That being said I would watch either fight, but Floyd is the fight that is being demanded and its not happening (any time soon at the very least), so may as well just presume its gonna Tim or Ruslan for now.
