R I N G T V.com has learned that WBO welterweight beltholder Manny Pacquiao and WBO junior welterweight titleholder Tim Bradley have agreed to terms for a clash that will take place on June 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
This fight should have been made instead of the Margarito fight, but it's whatever. Now we get this one instead of the Mayweather fight
Are they fighting at 140? if so this may not be as useless as it seems at first glance! what this all means is that Arum has found a way to maximize his earnings with the weaker Bradley (PPV wise who he already has his claws in) and Peterson (who he does not have but would like because it screws Oscar's boy Khan). If it is at 140- this makes some sense but how can you have any type of legit tourny @140 without Khan. Not to mention that they are all ducking Soto!!! This all boils down to the first ever ARUM cup . . . useless:deal
The only 140 fight will be Peterson Marquez, and that will be amazing as JMM will win 2 titles if he comes out with the win, then move up and whoop PAC's ass again. Great way to end his Great career, and he still has another Money fight with Morales.
That would be a even better scenario, pac vs tim 140,jmm vs peterson 140, then pac vs floyd 147 just to get it over with. Jmm vs morales, ultimate fight pac vs jmm for all the 140 titles, both retire afterwards
Pac-Bradley is a good fight. Good fight for Pac's resume. However, at 147, Bradley showed he wasn't the same the one time he fought there. I thought he looked real good against Alexander. Looked like **** against Casa. The thing is that I suppose 144 is better for Bradley, but for the sake of catch weights being for ***s, I'd rather it be straight up 147. It needs to be at 140. If not, then quit fighting junior welterweights and lightweights and pick on a welter. Yeah, why wasn't this happening instead of Margarito (after Bradley debuted at 147)? Or instead of Mosley (after Bradley beat Alexander)?
no he doesnt. that was the old Floyd. You can tell that his Father, Uncle, and team has convinced him that he now has to be more active. He's too old and starting to slip. He cant take anymore long vacations and I dont think he will unless he think's he's retired foreal
