    ‘Desert Storm’ Timothy Bradley Put’s Promotional Issues Behind Him

    WBO Light Welterweight Title
    When: 12th November Live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas
    What: Timothy Bradley vs Joel Casamayor
    Where: All on Primetime: Sky channel 480, Virgin Media ‘On Demand’ and online at www.primetimelive.co.uk


    Having fought only twice since his 2009 victory over Amir Khan’s next opponent, Lamont Peterson, Timothy Bradley steps back into the ring after ten months out of action. Having been stripped of his WBC title, as issues with his managment meant a fight with Amir Khan didn’t happen, Bradley will be looking to focus on in ring activities as he tries to position himself for a fight with Manny Pacquiao.

    Having recently signed with Bob Arum’s Top Rank, Bradley can now move on from his difficulties with Gary Shaw. Now in arguably the perfect place to position himself for that Pacquiao fight, Bradley was adamant that his main priority was to sign for a company prepared to back him and he’s made the right move.

    “It validates we made the right decision. We're on a new start, a new beginning at this point in my career. I'm happy to be here. My job now is I have to continue to win, take care of business and it will make their job easier.”

    Bradley will want to prove he is still the number 1 in the Light Welterweight division. To do that he’ll need to defend his WBO title against former two division champion Joel Casamayor.

    It is likely no coincidence that Arum has immediately match Bradley with a southpaw, who at 40 is in the twilight of his career, on the undercard of a Pacquiao main event. A convincing win from Bradley, with a significant TV exposure, will likely catapult him towards the front of the queue waiting for a career making shot at the world’s number 1 ranked fighter.

    Whether Bradley’s career path will lead to Amir Khan, Manny Pacquiao or both remains to be seen, but in either case British fans will be eager to see Bradley return to action this November.

    Pacquiao vs Marquez III sees the World’s best pound for pound fighters return to Primetime this November. Ranked number 1in the pound for pound lists, Manny Pacquiao will be looking to end the controversy by convincingly dispatching long time rival Juan Manuel Marquez. After a controversial points decision and a draw both fighters have a point to prove. The previous battles have delivered knockdowns galore and this fight promises to be no different.

    Breidis Prescott also makes a quick return to British TV screens. Following his points loss to Paul McCloskey the only man to knock Amir Khan out aims to get back to winning ways as he challenges for the IBF Latino Light Welterweight crown. An undefeated Mike Alvarado stands in his way, with 41 KO’s from 58 fights between them this has all the makings of a fight of the night candidate.
    The card is completed by Luis Cruz vs Juan Burgos for the NABO Super Featherweight championship.

    So it’s titles fights all the way on November 12th, another must see night exclusive to Primetime!

    You can order the card for only £14.95 by calling 08712004444*, visiting www.primetimelive.co.uk or Virgin Media customers can purchase using the ‘On Demand’ menu. Customers on Sky must register the first time they use Primetime and once registered can purchase using the ‘box office’ menu.

    Bradley v Casamayor what a shocking fight. Do you think Joel will come in via a motorised scooter?

    thing is your a tad niave, going by what your saying you would never question anyone who is in the "business" in my experience with things in life if you want to change things you ask them ,its simple process that works

    you assume there doing something right ,when some of the posts about the experience they have had with primetime havent been good ... :!:

    Two questions:

    @Venus: can't you guys show more fights free to air on channel 5? Even if they're just domestic fights like 'ITV Friday night fight night' used to be?

    @Everyone else: until HD comes into play, would you be willing to buy if the fight was £9.99?

    It seems like no one can fault the quality of the card, only the 'quality of programming'

    If you're going to charge £15 then invest in covering all of the weigh-ins, press-conferences, training documentaries, and interviews in the build up. Offer quality commentating & post-fight analysis. Get Steve Bunce on there!

    If you can't do all of the above, then at least look to charge a much lower rate. £9.99 seems reasonable to me for a top card in view of no HD or pre-post fight programming.

    Hope you can feed this back Venus as I want boxing to flourish

    We're not responsible for ch5 programming, we can only work with them if they have something relevant on

    Buncey joined the team for the Mayweather fight so we're already making huge strides with our team/production. We've been providing the weigh ins on the website and posting links in here, also showing the 24/7 programmes in the lead in on the night. We will be doing the same this time too
