Agreed but sad, when all the money is gone that Pac will make from Arum, that lose on his record to Bradley will still be there.
Marquez KO'ing manny has instilled desperation into manny and is causing him to be even more hurried than usual. Expect to see some interesting choices from manny within the next year due to the rush he's in
BINGO. Don't forget 1.2 mil against a shot Casamayor. Name me a Golden Boy fighter who wouldn't want to be in Bradley's predicament with Top Rank aside from Canelo & Mayweather.
Da **** is this? broken ankle + LOSS/gift win + follow-up KO loss to next opponent = credit legit KO win for Tim? Sounds like a variation of ***** math.
Broken ankle = Fact, Gift win= Lie Tim would put it on Manny in a rematch they knew it and decided to fight Marquez in hopes age finally caught up with him.... Manny has never beat any prime fighter at welter
no it didnt happen because Arum didnt want Bradley to lose his '0' now once Pac and Marquez retires Bradley will be his guy to get money out of
atsch how is this even possible? Tim is not a draw at this stage, so when Manny and Marquez retire suddenly he is going to become an instant attraction? Any business man in Arums position always must think about the future, and the way you build up a guy like Tim is by getting him fights like Pac or Marquez so that he can establish a following make a bigger name for himself so that by the time those other guys do retire he has a known house hold name. You cant just wave a magic wand, and pour some insta star in water and make a guy like Tim an over night star that is done by getting him good fights that will gain public attention
This is so dumb... Nobody does this... Name 1 REALISTICALLY, the best he could do is ask for a rematch which he did... I guarantee if YOU got a golden gift decision, I guarantee you'd do the same thing... Especially since that Bradley fight was closer than people credit, and no doubt even closer in Bradley's own mind, since he was actually involved...
Couldn't disagree more... Clearly Bradley's has more integrity than to fight someone he already dominated just for the money... If he'd have taken the fight, everyone would be complaining and calling him names, which they did when the fight was just in talks
Like I said the reaction from the Audience ringside when Tim was announced the winner was much more positive than when Manny was announced the winner after Pac Marquez 3. and that was an arena filled with Pac fans as Tim does not have that kind of following so why were they all cheering when Tim was announced the NEW!!!!:huh
Didn't know he turned down 2.3 million for Peterson. He would have been severely based for taking that fight, people would be saying he's taking on someone he already beat because he knows he'll lose against an elite like he 'did' against Pac. I understand the decision, not sure if it was the best business wise.. I don't blame him for not beating someone he already beat down though. Bradley's issue is his fanbase. Arum doesn't believe he can attract fans, which in turn means he's useless to Arum. Which in turn means he gets no meaningful fights, as Arum doesn't want to risk losing a cash cow to someone with no fanbase. He tried it with Manny, people were outraged, and he's not tried since. Sucks for Bradley.
