    This fight doesn't make any sense. Manny even though he lost on the score cards. The public and everyone knows he won that fight. I'll be there April 9th to cheer on Manny but wish he was fighting somebody else.

    My respect for the rankings in this case gives way to my indifference in seeing a redundant matchup. The first rematch was redundant enough considering the blatancy of the robbery in the initial fight. A second rematch is beyond excessive, and speaks more towards Arum's pretentiousness.

    There's also a certain pageantry that ought to be considered at this stage of Pac's career in which any fight is potentially his last. A 3rd fight against Bradley does nothing for him. At least a fight against a colorful personality like Broner would inject a sense of drama that would likely resonate with casuals. Quite frankly, popular interest is what Pacquiao seems to be fueled by and that is something that will be sorely missing in another Bradley fight.

    not a good fight. fans already saw them twice where bradley did nothing different. better for pac to just retire and not support bad match making of the sport. this is not what the fans want. where is the pac asking for what the fans want?

    That insult is kinda of silly now isn't it? Considering there's more evidence towards Floyd using than their is for Manny at this point.

    Legacy wise it makes him legitimate champ at WW.

    He's already been champ at FLW, FW, LWW so this would be a 4th division as true champion.

    Legendary stuff.

    This stuff only holds merit with the boxing geeks like you and me, and even amongst our community there will be those who say earning a title by way of Bradley who earned it by way of Rios and Vargas means phoop. Furthermore, Floyd is still regarded as the true champ. Vacating his status by way of a fake 'recent' retirement sort of dilutes the idea of there being an immediate legitimate successor.

    Also the majority of observers already recognize Pac as having ww title legitimacy when he beat Cotto up for his strap and then defended his title against Clottey.

    There's no evidence of anything. Quit making fabricated, nonsensical statements that you have no way to corroborate with solid evidence. TMZ geek.

    But you forget one thing Mayweather did NOT legitimately beat Paqcquaio did he ???? Pacquiao was sabotaged BEFORE he ever entered the ring. Then he fought injured & in pain for12 rounds . While the so called TBE !! ROFLMAO Was allowed to cheat with the IV gate debacle & was very likely juiced to the gills on May 2 Yet all he did was RUN & HOLD & rely on Vegas judges eg 118-110 :patsch

    Manny fighting Bradley is at the very least a competitive fight When you consider Mayweather-Berto debacle :patsch
