Man, this guy, Bradley. smh..

Dude's got heart, he stayed in with Manny 12 rounds. Sh8t, you could argue Bradley won the last 3 rounds..

Either way, I had it AT WORST 8-4 in Manny's favor.

I'm kinda don't like talking about the whole incident, to be quite truthful.

Manny has NOTHING TO PROVE TO BRADLEY

if anything, Manny just made this guy a potential mega star, for just a little bit, my opinion.

We know Floyd blames Arum, and I don't see Manny leaving him.. so... no fight with him..

with all this being said, put Manny in with Juan Manual Marquez, #4th time, all close.


Pac HAS to fight him again.

1. Money is stil in jail. Other than that- no other fight is going to make as much cash.

2. Until he gets a win that goes on his PERMANET record, he still has that loss, Bradley has a legit claim to that belt, and May/Pac only matches up 2 of the 3 top fighters in the world. Complain all you want, but 5 years from now, its just going to be another contriversial loss.
But a L eitherway.

3. The hangers-on need something to carry to the ring, not like two guys can carry the spit bucket Jack-and-Jill style.

4. BooooooB put it in the contract. He's got better luck fighting Vladamir than an Arum contract.


Whatever..

Yeah, Bradley has his belt too, guess he needs that..

There's no reason to fight..

money.. booo..

you think Juan Manuael Marquez won't produce more sell than Bradley? lmao

wth?

Last I checked, there wasn't many Bradley bandwagoneers, especially not now.

Marquez gave more of a fight than Bradley..

We dont have to get all politial, just being a "fight fan"..


Juan Manuael Marquez won't produce more sell than Bradley? lmao

ABSOLUTELY

MP has a LOSS on his record, controversial or not, and the rematches always sell.


Pac hasn't lost in YEARS, and in 2 months all you will remember is Pac lost in a controversial fashion. The fact he dominated won't matter, and the commercials will be showing the staggering Bradley and the times where Pac got hit flush.

I can see the commercials now

"Pac's out for his belt, and his reputation, and this time the judges won't stand in his way."


Seen Espn lately...?????

Arum doesn't even want to do the rematch, doesn't think anybody will buy

SAw it on the newswire today.

Rafael's hot on these judges..

Manny vs JMM 4 would be insane.

Since floyd can't get out, I think this makes the most sense at this point..

haha I know Floyd doesn't have a long stint..

NC, you'd really like to see Bradley vs Pacquaio 2? lmao

You are probably the only person and know who does. And I think i'll settle with Arum on this matter. ARum says the fight's probably not going to happen. If you didn't know, he's Manny's and Tim's promoter. lmao

Anyways, always fun NC, keep it greezy, my ninja.

A little bumpy but still a good effort by Peach IMO.

what happened, DJ????

Sifu says Pacman-san should retire. budha has already blessed him with millions Peach-san.

Manny needs to show that he can regain his old form and there is no better fighter to do it than Bradley. He should have scored a knockout. Manny just one year ago gets him out inside 6 rounds. Manny isn't the same fighter anymore.

If he doesn't rematch Bradley then I agree with Sifu, Manny should just retire. He doesn't have the same fire inside him anymore. If he can't regain that he won't be as effective.

It is a set up by Arum to block Floyd. Pac needs to leave him. He doesn't need a promoter anymore and hasn't for a couple of years. He can make more on his own, time for him to branch off like Floyd and Oscar did before him.

money and contract...he fights. He needs to, and he wants to. they pay him and everything.

June 12, 2012  11:27 AM ET

If Pac ducks the rematch with Bradley, it will only suggest that he is afraid to lose again....in addition, the contract specifically states that a Pac loss results in a rematch....Pac would basically have to quit boxing to avoid Bradley....and he DOES have something to prove....all I saw was a guy that thought he had it in the bag and so he stopped bothering and lost most of the second half of the fight....

I did not see a guy get beaten, I saw a guy quit and the guy who didn't quit was awarded the win.

How much will he have left when Arum is done with him? And the Filipino gov't for tax issues? and his wife?

June 12, 2012  11:31 AM ET

and you can't blame Floyd....he just lost a TON of money.....now, the mega fight is less spectacular because Pac's been beaten and will become even worse as they age more while dealing with a rematch....if Mayweather was only offering Pac 40 Mil before, it just dropped to 10....Along with his title, Pac lost his leverage....what would have been a PPV that would have raked in 150 mil, will now probably not break 100 mil, and might even be far less if people are still pissed that they don't understand how boxing is scored....

Understanding the scoring does not change the fact that the wrong man won.

When there are millions involved, the right winner can lose on any given night. Its the downfall of boxing.

Posting this simply means that you can't comprehend.

One more time, even given the parameters of the scoring used in this match, which are not universal to every match, you following so far??? It was still a miscarraige. you are wrong. clear now?

Oh please. Floyd-Cotto drew 150 mil PPV buys. Floyd-Manny is the fight EVERYONE has wanted for a couple of years, it would blow past 200 mil buys easily. The "loss" is meaningless because NOBODY thinks Paq actually lost the fight.

The problem is, that fight can't happen this year so Paq have to fight (and win) again before it can happen. Floyd is in jail until the end of August, no way he could train for a Paq fight to happen this year.

So Paq beats Bradley bad in the rematch and you have the making of a record breaking Floyd-Manny fight next year.
