Pacquiao to finish career by fighting Bradley on April 9th in Vegas?

[powerpuncher]

I don't mind this fight. It's more of a Bradley fight for me, now that he is with Atlas so the onus is on him to perform.

Anyway, this is at least a better than Mayweather vs Berto, even if it is Arum's doing.

At least berto hadn't fought mayweather previously. I would honestly rather have pac fight a fighter like berto that he had never faced rather than fighting Bradley again.

Bradley is the only fighter I can think of that had a serious injury that he nor the media mentions.
Lose lose fight for PAC.
He wins, who cares.

Bradley with good ankles and feet with some adjustment can win.
He landed well in first fight but had no power to his shots.
Pac ate em like flintstone vitamins.

In the rematch he fought like he only trained for a four rounder and loaded up like a bar fighter. These two are easily going in different directions, I just seriously question Mannys fire and motivation, think he's being steered off the interstate like a rusty Cadillac blowing smoke from both ends after announcing full intention to retire one fight back. Arum is going to gnaw this down to the marrow.

What a waste of a final fight for Manny.

Actually if he wins I think he will want to have a rematch against Floyd.

Manny should have broke the bank and got revenge against JMM.

Another fight that does jack squat for the game and everything for the fighter and his promoter. Looking at the options, this offers the least about of closure for any of the fans.

Terrance Crawford - A win for crawford cements him as the heir apparent and turbo charges the prospects of arum's promotion train and gives his stable more appeal. A loss for crawford still validates him and says he can hang with the big boys, but the loss on his record takes the wheels off the train because the future (crawford) is no longer perfect and the past (pac) is no longer around to make big money shows and bail out top rank. (Thank You mayweather for this "no loss" equals max marketability bull$h*t for years to come.). Either one cements pacs greatness and says at least he didnt go out fighting Berto for the gimme.

Khan - A win for Khan, keeps him alive as people are tired of watching him talk bigger/more than he fights and says Pac was looking for a challenge in the sense its someone that has been around for a while that neither he nor Mayweather fought. A loss for Khan (especially by ko) shuts khan the hell up and tells everyone that he's not what he claimed to be and anything after prescott or at least garcia was khan on the bubble praying it didn't pop.

Garcia - A win for Garcia, means Manny was just too old and probably should have quit after mayweather, but could potentially add credit to garcia who doesn't have as much as him and his father thinks he does and gets him in line for a big fight against crawford, broner, bradley or whoever else and add a potential player to the division. A loss for Garcia means, we cant put this notion of him being a destroyer because he ko'd khan, salka or out pointed a matthysse(without getting ko'd) to rest already.

The winner of thurman/porter: This fight kind of slides Pac too far down the meter and prematurely tarnishes his legacy. A win for thurman/porter is expected, so manny comes in as the old guy who just hung around one fight too long and comes in as the challenger with less bargaining power. A loss means to pac means pac takes out 2 players (1 directly and one by the associative property). This one would be exciting but a bad deal for all involved. That's if the timing was even possible in the first place.

Brook: Brook beating porter and then going back to the UK hasnt given him enough exposure in the US to make this explosive. He is a champ. If he loses, many goes out on top and retires leaving a belt vacant. If he wins, he still bases himself out of the UK and doesn't and fights few and far between. Boxing fans don't get much out of it.

Spence, Ali, etc: aren't done cooking yet and don't offer the credibility, prestige or the cash needed yet.

Bradley - a win for bradley says pac got older faster. a loss for bradley says what else is new, he lost when he was fresh. now after however many wars. what did you expect.. you didnt believe that "we're fireman" bull$h*t, did you? Just hang the belt by the door on the way pac...

Just my opinion.

Has a fight been announced, or is this just Saddo's version of The View?
