Why is there no talk of Bradley Pacquiao 2?

[ElMeroChingon]

Am I missing something? Why is a Provodnikov fight being discussed?

I want to see Bradley Pacquiao 2. Am I the only one?

I want to see the Provodnikov with Pacquiao, feel like the bradley fight will be the same. But the Russian will bring an exciting fight, more so than Bradley.

Listen, Bradley is too defensive, and Pacquiao's style has also taken adefensive turn, the rematch will not live up to the first, that is if you thought the first fight was good.
Provodnikov is all business, and he will compliment Pacquiao's new approach very well, it's just the better fight stylistically.

the fight should definitely happen because of the controversial decision from the first fight. i think pacquiao won 7-5 and some of the rounds that i gave to bradley couldve gone either way imo. but im not excited for it because of 2 reasons: 1. the fight wasnt a good fight, neither boxer looked good in that fight and neither seemed accurate, stylisticallly you would think they would match up well but they didnt and 2. im just tired of top rank welterweight fighters only fighters fighting the same fighters over and over. 147 is stacked with talent. why must we keep watching rematches. you have thurman, porter, brook, garcia, broner, ortiz, maidana, malignaggi, judah, berto, soto karass, etc. i just want to see something different from the obvious

Maybe because we have not got our money back for the first fight fffssss

Did I see a different Bradley vs Pac fight from everyone else? Pac was missing in that fight and missing badly! Jim lampley was counting every miss shot as a hit. People really need to watch that fight objectively. Pac and his team do not want that fight for a reason, and it is because of UNCERTAINTY. His team says it all the time that Pac looks best when his opponent stands infront of him or comes towards him, hence, why they want Prod and Rios type.

Exactly. Provodnikov will stand in front of Pacquiao, which makes him an easier opponent to deal with. I think Team Pacquiao (and his fans secretly) don't want Bradley because he's a tough, tough option. Ultimately, they may have no choice.

Of course he was missing, bradley was running the tricycle hardcore like a deer to a lion. He did absolutely nothing to try and win the fight and ate alot of bad straight lefts clocking his head back. C.J Ross and Ford are giving false denial to fanatic Bradley fans, time to accept it and try your best at a rematch because you will never convince the world Bradley even came close to the W.

Bradley's face in between rounds and after the fight says it all. He knew he bit more than he can chew and was clearly defeated until the announcement.

I'll be very disappointed if the Bradley rematch doesn't happen. It makes an undeniable amount of sense and a win would be the best way to put Pacquiao right back where he was a couple of years ago.

If I'm not mistaken, Bradley turned down a fight with Manny prior to the Bradley Marquez fight. I'm hoping Manny fights Bradley again, I'm positive that arum wants Bradley Pacquiao 2. Did Bradley pass on Manny again?

You're "not mistaken": Bradley turned down the Manny fight 236 times, while Floyd did it 4,542 times... As I remember...

Yeah, anyone who is not a punching bag is running. I doubt if anyone of you guys watched the fight or knew what you were watching. Pac didn't do **** and looked confuse. Everyone talks about Bradley's demeanor after the fight, but neglects to speak of Pac's demeanor. Dude didn't bother to protest.

Bradley is a light hitter, sprained his angle and Pac, the superhuman, couldn't close the show. Bradley outboxed and outworked Pac for the second half of the fight on one damn leg! He was standing right infront of him. I feel a second fight between Bradley and Pac will be more intriguing considering they both have something to prove.

On the other hand, a fight between Pac and Prov is a predictable, onesided, bloody mess. I rather see chess matches than watch onesided blood bath. Pac will be turning the slow Provodkinov, alas rios, all night and slicing him up (he cuts easily).
