Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Bradley Rematch Bigger Than First Fight

[boxingfan4life]

Good move to do this rematch. I have a feeling PAC will win this one I which will generate a third match up. But then again if Bradley boxes and stays away he has a chance of winning. We shall see.

Bradley shuts pac man out with ease this time.

I agree though that Bradley even if he joins GBP has no assurance Floyd will fight him. Remember this is not a past his prime, shopworn fighter. He is coming off two impressive wins. I don't think Mayweather likes that.

The Excuses Will Fly!!!!

When Pacquiao blows thru Bradley everyone will say Provo & JMM back to back fights took too much out of Timmy and he had nothing left for Pacquiao. THEN everyone will be lining up Provo, Maidana and Thurman, saying "they will expose Manny", or "Danny Garcia or Shawn Porter will give Manny a Boxing lesson", or " How bad Floyd would put it on Pacquiao".... Yet Floyd will never fight Pacquiao. Marquez won't fight Manny for the '47 title after he runs the tables on Bradley. Just like everyone was on the bandwagon with Rios, and what a dangerous fight that was for Manny, then got shut out never winning a round. Then Rios was a weak suck, hand picked because Floyd, Marquez & Bradley wouldn't fight Manny then. Manny Pacquiao as always will fight anyone; just get in the ring. Rios had never fought anyone, but a B-level fighter that beat him in a rematch. Bradley looked horrible and took the beating of his life against Provo. With drug testing IN place, he stayed out of harms way and beat a regular 40 year old Marquez; not the same beefed up Marquez with no testing in place that fought Manny. Bradley looked bad and broke his ankle trying to stay away from Pacquiao, and the world was appalled at a blatant fixed decision. Bradley will get thumped again in the rematch , then what's the excuse?

Outside of Warrios and Hectari not a single soul thought Rios would win, everyone said he was crap and would get obliterated. He actually BEAT expectations by losing every round instead of getting KO'd....so there is that.

Pac-Bradley is a good match-up and may the best man win, but you sound way too much like an apologist for Manny....he's a grown man let him be.

this fight will flop. The first fight wasnt even that competitive. You think people want to see a fight that was a potential snooze fest

Dude, you're an idiot. Not an apologist in the least bit. You never spent enough time here; the comments were flowing in the street about what a dangerous fight Rios was. How Manny would get the same result that Marquez have him. You might not have said as much, but the masses were pounding the table for Rios. Pacquiao would be right in front of him, how Roach is getting all his guys knocked out, and Manny would be no different, he's on the downhill slide; he's done. Now you can't find anyone that picked Rios to steamroll Manny! Nobody wants to give Pacquiao any credit. My exact comments for weeks leading up to Rios, was his ONLY claim to game, is he beat the b-level guy, that came back and beat him in an immediate rematch; Rios had never fought anyone, and gets a Pacquiao fight based on a media hyped fighter. Bandwagon boxing fans that won't stick to their stories. Bradley never won the first Pacquiao fight, the entire Boxing world agreed the fix was in. Now the Manny-haters are out claiming they thought Bradley win the fight; what a joke..nobody thought that except Bradley's dad. Now you heard it here first, Pacquiao puts a drumming on Bradley this time again, and let's guess how these excuses roll.

Pac reamatch, Ruslan rematch, JMM, Cotto, Mikey Garcia, Rios, etc. It's not that bad

If I was Tim, I wouldn't be too concerned with what Thurman, Garcia, and the younger crop of WW at GBP are doing,... he's 30, kids, family....if TR is providing him with a better sense of security then go for that.

The ole Don King bookshelf is what he wants to avoid

I'd only do smoething drastic if there was a contract from Floyd sitting in the fax machine ready to be signed.

I agree with this post..TR can offer Bradley a better financial deal tbh,I know GBP has some very good young fighters..I don't think all of them will be with GBP forever tho..Guerrero already wants to jump ship and he and Bradley would be a very good fight..

I've been saying for months that Bradley best business move would be to stay with TR,esp if they'll agree to his money demands..It makes even more sense..

Expect to see Bradley show a lot of different looks to Pac..Movement and fighting on the inside..There will be exchanges(just like the first fight)and Bradley will have to box a bit,esp early on in the fight..

what factors you consider in judging a fight. if you think Bradley won rds 1-3, how?

from the get-go, pac was dictating the tempo of the fight and he landed some good shots. that was rds 1-3 you mentioned.

I said the rds were close imo,if you felt like Pac dictated the tempo,cool..I don't agree..Pac was doing nothing in each of those rds until pretty much the end of it..Bradley dictated tempo in those rds with movement and activity..

That's just how I saw it..It was close rds imo,so I can not be mad if you did not see it that way..It happens..
