Manny-Pacquiao-vs-Timothy-Bradley

It was just officially announced that Manny Pacquiao and Tim Bradley have come to an agreement to fight on June 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

In my personal opinion, this fight is a piece of crap. Pacquiao, who couldn’t agree to fight Floyd Mayweather for being greedy, will now fight Bradley in which he will make less than if he would have fought Mayweather.

When I told some casual fans that Manny will be fighting Tim Bradley, their immediate response was “WHO?”

Let’s be real here, who is Tim Bradley? And what can he bring to the table?

One known boxing writer tried to defend Bradley by saying, “he’s a two time world champion. He’s the WBO junior welterweight titleholder.”

But when I asked him, “Ok, how many Pay-per-view fights has Bradley headlined, wait let me rephrase how many pay-per-view fights has this so-called two time world champion has headlined?” his response, “None”.

That was the end of the conversation for me. Bradley has fought mostly in hotels when he was under Gary Shaw and Ken Thompson. When he fought the only well known name, Devon Alexander, that fight was a complete dud which HBO refused pay for a rematch.

Bradley is a dirty fighter who likes to fight with his huge head. The only reason why he is fighting Pacquiao is because Bradley recently joined Top Rank after he ditched his co-promoters and demanded millions to fight Amir Khan but yet never has he made over a million before.

Bradley (28-0, 12 KOs), 28, of Palm Springs, Calif., is not in the same caliber as the fighters Manny Pacquiao has fought. Bradley is the guy who couldn’t finish off 40-year-old Joel Casamayor, the fight was uncompetitive, it was garbage and you expect him to beat Manny Pacquiao?

If you plan on paying for this PPV fight, do me a favor and donate that money to me instead. I need a beer.

  1. Manny is indeed a great fighter but when it comes to recognition and PPV numbers then Mayweather does deserve the bigger share. Not only has he been a big name longer but he’s also produced high PPV buys longer than Pacquiao, there should be no dispute because Pacquiao will still make more money than he ever has before even if he takes a smaller percentage.

  2. Manny is a great fighter but he only does what he is told ..his promoters are the greedy ones …in all reality PAC man will make less money this fight vs him fighting mayweather ..see the promoters are really smart if he fights mayweather and loses then the cash cow won’t bring in the big bucks from places like hbo ..show time..and ppv..but if he keeps wining against who ever he still makes money an promoters still make money ..that’s all that matters anyway because that’s what this sport is all about anymore ..just a bunch of greedy as promoters and fighters ….

  3. Think about this Edgar, Pacquiao asked 50/50 an equal share! Floyd wanted more and who is the ‘Greedy’?
    I know you keep on saying you don’t understand and by that i can understand you. 😉
    For how many times your idol keep on avoiding Pacman and you still believe on his lies? Floyd have always reasons not to fight Pacman.
    Maybe he thought miguel Cotto is an easy victim, but remember Miguel is still in his prime and Floyd is getting older, 3 years older! If you think Floyd is still at his best, so is Miguel! So, this still good to watch, I mean read the news! 😉 I donate my money to you for you yo buy a beer! LOL.

  4. Hey……..Slow your roll,son! Of course Manny is a great fighter(beating former world champions “after”their heyday) who is running out of people to fight,however……..Bradley did not steal his titles,he took them away from title holders. Don’t under estimate Bradley. You heard it here 1st first. mark

  5. bradleys got a good shot right now to beat pac. mannys to into other stuff and that will be his undoing not so much the other fighter.

  6. I’m so excited !!! Can’t wait 2 see this fight, fight of the year !!! An all out war…… Yea right… Lmao !!

  7. I am not interested in this fight whatsoever, another easy win for Manny Pacquiao with an opponent having to agree to his terms. Let’s see if he continues to be Arum’s puppet at the end of this fight or grows a pair and calls out Mayweather.

  9. And Bradley is moving up in weight for this fight!!! WTF? This fight is garbage and watch, just watch, he will cut Manny badly with his head and cause Manny to miss time.
