I'm too high of a risk. It's plain and simple. I'm one of the best in the world, if not, the best in the world, hands down, man. And, you know, I think there is a possibility that he might go a different route. I think that he might try to bypass me.
Brother Bradley, Chill out. Pac only fought 1/3 of the round for most of the fight and still out landed you in most of those rounds. Get Pacman mad and motivated and your ass won't last 4 rounds. Humble yourself and realize you got a gift decision and hope Pacman bypasses you.
In a sense, he's right. If a rematch saw a poor performance, or something other than a clear, decisive win from Pacquiao, it'd very conceivably harm his earning potential. Even ignoring any chance that Bradley might win legitimately, Pacquiao doesn't need to be in a stinker if he's looking to cash out in a big-earner vs Mayweather. Any indication that Pacquiao doesn't deserve as much as he asks from a Mayweather fight, and Mayweather will use that as a leverage in negotiations.
Pac really needs to fight the guy again. Rubbish decision as it was you can't claim to be pound for pound number one, lose a fight, then move on and pretend it didn't happen to take something like a shitty Cotto rematch. Unless Mayweather's next it should be giving Bradley a serious beatdown.
Ideally, yes. I'll not lie though; there's a part of me that would love for Bradley to pull off a clear win, just to spite Pacquiao and particularly Arum, for not making that other fight happen.
Confidence is always good. But fakery is just wack. Tim ain't beat Pac, and he knows it. He ain't gotta be embarrassed by his performance. He fought the best he could, and did so wit an injury a lotta the way. But he lost straight up. Wouldn't expect him to admit that, but you'd expect he'd have enuf shame to not talk stupid ****.
Wish fighters like Marquez & Bradley would get outta of "PAC" mode & continue pursuing their own greatness instead. Manny holding them back. #****OffManny :smoke
