Thoughts on this? I quite fancied Manny smashing lumps off of Broner to be honest. With Manny off the shelf do we finally get Brook Khan?

Meh, I would have liked to see PAcquiao in a crossroads fight of sorts. It's a pick em and all, but pretty meaningless and they don't match up all that well.
Sounds odd but if I was Bradley I'd aim higher. New trainer, new mindset off impressive beat up of Rios. Just seems like a step sideways with an off injury and off shut out loss Manny. Trilogies should mean something, this just feels like Uncle Bob milking a tired heifer for all she's got.
This is a fine fight for Bradley but Manny should be ashamed. This is a pathetic fight for him. Manny should fight JMM.
What next Manny v Rios 2?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Rios is rumoured to be fighting manny 3rd September.
Think about it.
Its Top rank benefit to keep it all in house!
I wrote it before in another thread but this fight is worthless. I honestly have zero interest in it. If Bradley wins it does him no good because it proves that pac is done. If pac wins, then it shows he is still decent but that Bradley hasn't really improved. It won't be exciting either. Pac should fight somebody that he hasn't fought.
Similar to Floyd fighting Berto, I think this is a garbage fight, although I do feel like Bradley is a tougher/more credible opponent. Neither of the previous two fights were classics/overly entertaining to me, and I feel like Manny dominated both (even though he was robbed in the first fight). All of that being said, if they put the fight on HBO I will definitely watch it and gain additional respect for Manny and Arum for giving back to the fans instead of chasing the all mighty dollar.
Arum's way of trying to make lemonade with 2 lemons. Keep the money in house. Manny loses and arum pushes bradley. Manny wins and arum points to mannys shoulder and says the floyd fight was a fluke and he wants a rematch.
Roach wanted Khan, I believe that would have been the right choice. Manny beating someone floyd didn't (khan and his following claims "wouldn't) would be the best way for manny to go out on a high and get one up on Floyd.
Arum wanted bradley, (because if manny beat crawford, arums got nothing left after manny retires).
Roach wanted Khan.
Manny wanted Marquez, Floyd, khan, Garcia, Provo, etc.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
