    There may not be a rematch because it was a boring ass sloppy fight. Who wants to watch that mess again? Let alone Pay for it?

    There's no need. Arum cleaned out the bookies.

    But not inside the ring. Pacquiao beat him the way a politician beats a rivial and not the way a boxer does it. Pacquiao lost inside the ring so he won politically outside the ring.

    Bradley isn't a politician. Bradley isn't going to win a popularity contest, nor is he going to win public opinion, but until Pacquiao can beat Bradley in the ring, preferably by KO, Pacquiao hasn't truly beaten Bradley at boxing.

    I paid for it and I didn't think it was boring at all. It was as good if not better than Floyd vs Cotto. I think it was just as competitive but because Bradley doesn't hit as hard people think it wasn't.

    Also Bradley went to the body instead of the head and the fans like to see hit shots not body shots. Subjective stuff like this is why fans don't like Bradley. But this fight was more entertaining than Mosley vs Pac, or Margarito vs Pac, or Hatton vs Pac, or Clottey vs PAc. I think only Cotto and Marquez challenged Pac more.

    Exactly. Pac has more fans because he's more than just a boxer and his fans would die for him. Bradley is just a boxer and not popular enough to win any poll. Most people are just now learning who Bradley is.

    This reminds me of Mosley vs DLH or Trinidad DLH.

    Pacquiao landed the heavier, thudding shots. Pacquiao hurt Bradley several times. Pacquiao came forward all night. Bradley was in retreat mode, and his combos hit mostly leather.

    Face the ****ing music: Bradley lost.

    That would be fine. I'd love to see Bradley vs Marquez but who does Bradley face next while Pac fights Marquez? Bradley Khan?

    I think a healthy Bradley will make it much more clearer 2nd time around, and thats bad business if your trying to get a big payday with Floyd, I think they will look for other fights that are easier to win so they can salvage that Payday fight that is if Floyd is still willing to offer them a decent amount of Money.

    But I agree there is a reason Arum doesnt want the rematch right away

    Pac hurt Bradley twice in the fight, maybe only once if we don't count the ankle twist. It wasn't several times.

    Pac was backed up in the fight which means he was possibly hurt himself to the body. Bradley is one of the only fighters who I've seen back Pac up at all but he did back Pac up a few times including the time when he was hurt by Pac.

    Pac hit a lot of air that night and a lot of gloves meaning Pac wasn't getting clean shots either. It was not an easy fight to score. In the first three rounds I favor Bradley but these were very close rounds and very difficult to score rounds so if you give those rounds to Pacquiao then Pacquiao would have won 7/5 instead of Bradley.

    Round 7 was difficult to score. I gave it to Bradley because he landed the final punch of the round but I could have scored that round a draw. Since many of these rounds had no clear winner, honestly this fight probably could have been ruled a draw and there would have been a lot less controversy. The reason there is controversy is because the "wrong guy" won.

    That Wouk depend on if Bradley has healed, then goes the question, will Bradley vs tba be in the same card as PAC Marquez 4? He will have a bout against someone who he will lool sharp against.imo.

    Healed from what? The fact that he knows he lost. All he was saying is he is going watch the tape to see if he actually lost. Well, what is the verdict? What, he is going to say he lost and here is the belt. If your talking about his ankle to heal, that was nonsense. He was running and jumping around after the fight and he even jumped on the ropes. Next thing you know, he is in a wheelchair. The rematch will happen in November like they have said. He is just going to destroy Bradley and then ESB will fill with I knew that was going to happen. Ten years from now Ariza will write a tell all book and this will all be in there. Twisted ankle my ass.

    He should.

    I think he will fight at least three more times.
