    This is a damn serious question folks!!

    If Pac was to lose to Bradley, whats really left for him?? I dont see it at all. His stock dropped alot when he got KO by Marquez (reason why less then 500k buys against Rios, China had something to do with that but not alot) and i noticed that when some of his fans didnt even know he was fighting in Nov last year.

    Now here comes Bradley. just beat the guy that KO Pacquiao. everybody knows he lost the first fight but has putting some exciting matches and seems to get a little bit better.

    This is so huge for Pac and Bradley. bradley can lose and hes gonna be alright, get a clear win against pac and he might start becoming a superstar but thats for another thread.

    Pac has got to win this fight. if he loses what can he really do?? who would care about his next fight?? TR has nobody left anyways!! but to lose would IMO cripple the career. unless he was to leave TR, which is not for sure, i would want to see him retire! Theres nothing left to prove expect for fighting Mayweather. and even if that doesnt happen Pac is an ATG and even the haters have to admit that.

    I hope the best Pac comes out because if it doesnt i think he should retire...what do you guys think he should do if he loses?? Career ender??

    He will fade into obscurity if he takes another loss.I said it a long time ago that . Arum is going to use him up then toss him to the wayside

    Arum has milking him like crazy!! I knew it when he fought Clottey and Margarito, those fights were meaning less, i mean he gave a cheater in Margarito a pay day! i guess a title in his 8 weight class was huge but anybody that watched knew that was a joke.

    tried hard to not make the Mayweather fight and still is! why?? because he doesnt want his cash cow to lose to his former cash cow. why do that when he can fight bradley,Ruslan,Alavardo...ARUM EVEN SAID MIKEY GARCIA SOON!!:patsch:patsch:patsch

    His fan base is to big for what? to end his career if he loses?? He does have a huge fan base but will he even be relvant anymore?? in all honesty he can fight till 45 because of his fan base but that wouldnt make sense right?

    I expect a 3rd fight if Pac wins but if he doesnt..i dont know. Would i still watch him??? OF COURSE!! But he will not be in any meaning full fights. and if he stays with TR he should retire IMO. leave and go to Golden Boy or anybody else and he has lots of fights and titles he can try to get

    A fighter has to win in order to stay relevant. No matter how good the fight is. Look at Rosado, Rios, Karass and Josesito. All exciting fighters that bring it but they are losing and there is no money in that, just an exciting ass whooping. If Pac loses to Bradley his stock falls and his only shot is to take Ruslan on in an exciting fight and win. That would be his only saving grace and keep him relevant for a shot at Mayweather.

    No. I'm sure Danny Garcia or Khan would fight him then. He'd be viewed as finished though... like Mosley when Floyd, Pac and Canelo fought him.

    Danny garcia, Khan, Maidana, Lucas, Thurman,Collazo would all LOVE TO FIGHT PAC!! problem is if he doesnt leave and Arum still acts like an old shrivled D**k then we'll never see those fights. then add he loses to bradley...I see no reason in him fighting TBH. Beating Ruslan, Alvarado, Mikey Garcia proves nothing. and GB has 3 of the 4 titles so he'll never be a champ again....sad to say...

    Pac has already beaten Bradley once If Pac lands a good punch on Bradley, Bradley will go down, Provodnikov damaged him, that's why Bradley ran from Marquez instead of fighting him, plus Bradley knows the judges will give him the fight...........

    Its called boxing not running Farm :patsch

    I do think Pac can KO bradley but he needs to show that killer instinct. why would he want to take the chance to get robbed again and damage his career forever?

    If he loses cleanly but closely then he will still be in some big fights. If he loses cleanly and wide then he is out of big fights. BUT, the name will still attract $$, so who knows.

    Yea its a toss up. his name will always bring in money, even at 40 it will. be will he be relvant. if he loses and doesnt leave TR then theres no reason to countiune you his career. if he loses, fight a cupcake (again) in the fall and leaves TR then his career can expolde right back with fights with Lucas,Maidana,Broner,Thurman,Garcia just so many fights

    Nah not really, Bradley is a Elite boxer & loosing to him would not be as bad as loosing to say a Brandon Rios. If he does loose he will probably fight a Mike Alvardo & then be on top spot again. He still has a huge following.

    How is fighting Alvarado get him a top spot?? That means he wouldnt have beat a WW in 3 years!!! Thats very sad. Pac will always have a huge following but that doesnt mean he should fight forever. There would be nothing left to do unless he was dead serious about making the Mayweather fight. otherwise retire, nothing left to prove
