Bob Arum: '' Brandon Rios would fight king kong, and so would Timothy Bradley. So if Rios beats Pacquiao - that's a logical fight to make. If Pacquiao beats Rios - I don't know whether or not that fight [between Pacquiao and Bradley] could be made. I just don't know," Bob Arum said. http://www.latinospost.com/articles...ther-vs-bradley-manny-pacquiao-next-fight.htm
as a rule... i dont wish death on people BUT i wish arum would hurry up and disappear greedy scum bag
Yeah. This. Bradley doesnt need it. He's got the (official) win and probably doesnt think he could get an official or unofficial win again. Not saying Bradley is altogether afraid cause thats not the case, but he also seems to be a pragmatic person.
I think what Arum is saying is it won't be generating $$$ since Bradley was totally outclassed last time, plus, the result of that fight left a bitter taste in every sensible human being's mouth. However, due the recent turn of events, it just might generate enough hype, that is of course assuming Pac will brutalize Rios and earn some of the lost fame back. Thus the "I don't know" statement. end translation.
bradley was offered 6-7mil to fight pac again but turned it down for 4.4mil against jmm. maybe timmy wants more which i don't think he deserves based on his drawing power or he's sked. pac wins, he will likely fight provodnikov-alvarado winner. timmy may likely fight cotto at a cw.
A move that in theory will/could work out for Bradley should He negotiate a rematch Vs. Pac (Bar he don't get his ass whipped in Nov) Timmy could defo demand more $$$ now... Will he get it tho?? (Prob not)
If Pacquiao beats Rios it's going to be a rematch with Bradley or a fifth fight with Marquez. I'm having a feeling that Arum will most likely go for a fifth fight with Marquez considering his apparent lack of knowledge regarding Bradley.
He's still planning to bring Pacquiao vs Marquez 5 or Bradley vs Pacquiao 2 which are two great fights all fans would tune in for. The only fight he won't make is Mayweather and it's not only Arum's fault. Arum had no problems signing Pacquiao to fight Goldenboy fighters like Marquez, Hatton and even GoldenBoy's very own chairman De La Hoya.
Bradley needs to find a way the fuk out of his TR contract ASAP and get in the mix with Garcia, Thurman, Khan, Broner and Mayweather
