    Promoter Bob Arum said last week on *********** that he doesn't think there would be any real money in a fight between welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and junior welterweight

    champ Timothy Bradley should a fight not get made between Pacquiao and Mayweather......"no" Arum said, Bradley is excellent fighter,but nobody ever heard of him. "very few people have heard of him".............I WOULDN'T MIND SEEING A PACQUIAO VS BRADLEY FIGHT @ 140

    I think there's more drama in the boxing world than all the soap operas combined.

    I don't see how people here still support Arum Roach, and Pac, I bet if Bradley was coming off of an vicious KO loss, they would pounce at the chance to fight Bradley, since they clearly don't want the Mayweather fight.

    Arum is telling the truth. Bradley is not a big name and it won't make much money.

    Clottey wasn't a big name but he was happy to throw him in.

    All I'm gonna say is when I used to smoke weed I declined a drug test for job once, only people who are scared of getting caught for using something resorts to these measures. Team Pac had everybody thinking that the fight was a done deal, as the fight drew closer and closer his their outrageous demands increased, and increased, he expected Floyd to reject his demands but Floyd bent over backwoods to get this fight done. Then after Mayweather ended Mosley career he said the only way him and Pac would fight is for OSDT all the way up to the fight, then team Pac floats out there that they would except drug testing up to 14 days, Pac is pump faking unless you're a dikkrider it's clear as day he don't want the Floyd fight.

    All lost all respect from Pac after that, he would have been better off saying he wasn't ready to fight Floyd just yet.

    I thought Pacq was a cash cow.He can fight anyone,anyone and it will be a big fight,he's the biggest star in boxing right?Didn't he just fight the little known Clottey and do 700k all by himself?

    The difference is Bradley is Afr-Am.Pacq don't fight them.He would get beat by any of the top Afr-Am's in the (jr)welterweight division.He's trying to get as much money from Floyd right now because he knows it's a lost.Seriously though,it's Arum more than anyone.Never again do I accept that Floyd ducked anyone when he said it wasn't big enough financially,now team pacquiao says it and it is acceptable.He really just doesn't want to fight Afr-Am's,they are too skilled.

    This shows that Bradley needs to fight Alexander for the undisputed junior welterweight championship in which it will give Bradley a better exposure on hbo in which that will get him the big fights like Maywether, Pacquiao, Cotto down the road.
     
  11. Arum is right that Bradley isn't a household name, but so is Shaw about Arum making in-house bouts. I would've rather seen Pacquiao KO Timothy Bradley than wail away on the human inkblot Josh Clottey.

    T man? You mean Bradley? If so then you're the biggest ****** i know. Alexander has been calling out Bradley on many occasion but Bradley won't budge cause Bradley wants his fight vs Alexander to get more exposure.
