    Bradley is not a star, even if he beats Pac. Hes like a good ole Missiouri mule.Excellent worker but thats about it. He dont have that star gene, like the savageness of Pac or the artistry of Mayweather. Stars are born, not made. Arum dont want him to lose because he wants to ride him into the sunset. Old *****!:bbb:bbb

    Hagler was wasn't given the respect prior to his war with Hearns. Samething can happen here vs Pacquiao. The more Bradley is taken to the limit the better he performs. Believe it or not there are still many fans that appreciate no bull**** all business type fighters that aren't doubling as movie stars. There's an audience for every fighter.

    I do think TR need to start thinking who is going to be the next big PPV attraction for them:


    • Pacquiao will not be around forever.
    • Cotto left.
    • Pavlik is aka Stone Cold Steve Pavlik.
    • For whatever reason Donaire and Gamboa are not appealing to they respected audiences.
    • Chavez Jr. could be ruined the minute he face an elite in his division.
    But to answer your question it depends anyone know how long Pacquiao contract is with Top Rank?

    Would Bob be the kind of dictator to nuke his own country just to say he didn't lose?

    If Bradley were to win it would be similar to Hopkins beating Trinidad still would not be a PPV attraction just do not have the style and personality, maybe if he adopts a Floyd approach what Broner is doing I'm not sure if Palm Springs is the hood never been to Cali :lol:

    How come no one on here has mentioned Holmes yet? You know, the successor to Ali, passed torch?

    Yeah, he was a big draw.

    Same would happen to Bradley should he win

    very possible. he tried to do the same with cotto. fed him to margarito...then fed him to pac. bradley is probably his most solid fighter left. pac will lose to him.

    it's part of boxing. arum is losing control of pac...the end is inevitable. it reminds me of roberto duran's situation after he beat leonard. if u read duran's biography...his own manager admits to signing for the leonard rematch too soon to teach roberto a lesson. he felt he was losing him...so he sold him out when he knew it would be difficult for roberto to make weight in the rematch because he had been partying and enjoying life. this is pretty much the same situation. arum is hanging him out to dry.
