    'Cause nobody cares.

    Pacquiao is well past his best and screwed himself royally with his comments recently. Even with him nearing the end, Bradley might not be able to get the win. Bradley, while staying active isnt exactly setting the world alight with his opponents. It's just an inconsequential fight, really.

    It is fight that HBO doesn't want. It is as simple as that.

    I'm a huge Manny fan but even I was/am greatly disappointed at the announcement of this fight. That being said not nearly disappointed enough to not be tuning in on fight night. Manny either wins in repeat performance of the first two fights or father time catches up with him and Bradley nicks a cheap victory. Either outcome stinks.

    No one wants to see that fight. HBO knows it.

    That's how it is for every sport

    Nadal?/Fed- No one really talks about them that much anymore, it's all Nole.

    Basketball - No one talks about Celtics/Lakers anymore, it's all Spurs/GS.

    It's the nature of professional sports.

    I disagree. Celtics and Lakers are still loved. Lakers are still one of the most loved teams even to this day. Kobe Bryant is retiring this year, and even though he is struggling efficiency wise, he has gotten nothing but upmost respect from every teams' fans. That level of respect isn't reciprocated by boxing fans to retiring greats.

    good, this fight doesn't deserve to be hyped in any way, it's a completely pointless fight at this point, seeing as it happened twice already, I hope the PPV flops badly
