I read that Arum has said Pac will fight either of these two gentlemen in April next year. This of course will change if Pac fails against Rios but the majority are confident Pac will triumph in his reemergence. I would love to see Pac fight either of these two guys. Of the two I would be very interested in seeing Pac and Bradley rematch. I like Prod quite a bit but I think he should get a few more good matchups prior to getting in the ring v. Pac, what say you.

After the Manny fight he went over and kissed Bradley on the left cheek.
Its systemic. Surprised someone has not done him in to be honest the way he treats fighters like a natural resource.
He must have one hell of a hold on Manny to still be steering him at this point in his career and after what he has accomplished. I can think of no other fighter in history of his stature that has not told his promoter who he is fighting.
I didn't quote him directly. I think what he said was that if Manny were to lose the timetable might be different. I don't know if he even mentioned the lose word. He did try to get a rematch with Bradley but Bradley wasn't feeling it. Why didn't Manny have that in his contract prior to the fight. Anyway, I don't know that much of Arum so my main point was just about the fights, either of which I think would be an exciting fight.Quote:

I never said you did. The man is an empirical sponge. Get me a link for this attempt at a rematch. Why should Manny have a rematch clause? He got burned in an in house fight after making his promoter millions. Top of the food chain. Arum crosses the floor and hugs his latest acquisition.Quote:

They did try to get the rematch, but not directly. They tried after the Bradley/Provo fight. BTW on the subject of Arum being a scumbag much like he told Rigondeaux he needs to be more exciting he told Bradley the same and it left him with a cuncussion for months. But the man doesn't think twice before saying that to Rigondeaux, he doesn't care about these fighters one bit.
Will never understand why Manny was not insisting on a rematch with Bradley .Quote:

Pac Man is in the pocket of Arum and will follow him like a lost poodle.
Bradley is an enigma at this point and PAC's condition is a question mark so as the late Mills Lane used to "Let's get it on." The question as to the triangle between Floyd, PAC and Bradley is a question mark at least for a couple of months or some really good post yet to be written so either way I am having fun.
