Manny vs Bradley hands down! Bradley vs Mayweather is the fight I think NEEDS to happen but if Manny beats Bradley then it will kind of make Manny a REAL mandatory for Floyd. Floyds fights coming up will be super boring homie. GO CHARGERS!

Pacquiao Does Not Plan On Leaving Top Rank Anytime Soon, Says Floyd Has To Wait Until 2015 To Negotiate

Pacquiao Does Not Plan On Leaving Top Rank Anytime Soon, Says Floyd Has To Wait Until 2015 To Negotiate

Rumors began to swirl earlier this week about a mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao being agreed upon by both fighters. Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz quickly shot down those rumors and the latest word from Pacquiao confirms what Koncz said and with Floyd not wanting to work with Top Rank and Bob Arum then there isn’t a chance in hell the fight will happen, at least for this year since Pacquiao’s contract with Top Rank is still valid this year.

“Floyd has been saying that he will only fight me if I separate from Top Rank and Bob Arum,” said Pacquiao. “That’s impossible because my contract is still valid (with Top Rank) throughout this year.”

After the year is over and Pacquiao fulfills his obligations with Top Rank he can pursue a fight with Mayweather as a free agent but should he sign again with Top Rank the chances are slim to none that the fight will happen.

“If I don’t renew my contract we can talk next year.”

Manny will never fight Floyd cause Tim Bradley is gonna whoop his ass come april 12th. Arum is not a fan of this fight at all imo, he wants to feed manny another punching bag so he can look good. Bradley and Mayweather go at it in 2015

SOURCE SAYS BRADLEY IS PACQUIAO'S CHOICE THANKS TO MARQUEZ "DIVA WAYS" AND "MAYWEATHER FACTOR"

By Ben Thompson | January 05, 2014

Over the weekend, Manny Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, met with his promoter, Bob Arum, to decide the next opponent for his anticipated return to the ring on April 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. "I met at Arum's house this afternoon, but nothing is final as Manny and I are looking at all our options," Koncz informed Ronnie Nathanielsz of Philboxing.com not long after that meeting took place. Arum echoed those sentiments, insisting that the final decision is still up to Pacquiao.

"It'll either be [Ruslan] Provodnikov or [Timothy] Bradley. We'll let Manny decide; we'll get a deal made with whoever he chooses and hopefully make the announcement in a week," the Hall of Fame promoter explained in a separate interview with Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Though both men are staying tight-lipped regarding details of their discussion, sources tell us that a decision has indeed already been made, and it looks like all parties involved prefer to avenge at least one of Pacquiao's most recent losses.

"They're going with Tim," stated a source with knowledge of Pacquiao's preference. Evidently, the multi-division world champion was told that a rematch with Bradley would be the better option financially, making his decision a no-brainer given the tax issues he's been facing in both the United States and the Philippines. "Neither guy [Bradley or Provdnikov] are a big draw, but with Bradley, they can at least hang their hat on the fact that there's history between the two fighters. The controversy of their first fight makes it a lot easier to sell than a fight with the Russian kid," our source explained, referring to the fact that Bradley was awarded a split decision victory over Pacquiao despite the fact that many believe that it was Pacquiao who easily dominated that first encounter and deserved the victory.

According to our source, there's also other reasons why Pacquiao will be fighting Bradley in April. "Don't forget that the [Juan Manuel] Marquez is being a thorn in the side of everyone. He doesn't want to give Pacquiao a chance to avenge the KO and he's demanding that he be given the rematch with Tim, even though he acted like a sore loser after their fight. He's acting like a diva, and nobody wants to deal with that. Just about everyone - Manny, Tim, and even Bob - would love to stick it to him and leave him with no other option than the Russian. Plus, in some ways, Manny can make people forget about the KO to Marquez if he himself can KO Bradley, who just beat Marquez. And don't forget the Mayweather factor. With Tim still being undefeated, an impressive win over him will go a long away in restoring Manny's claim to Mayweather's pound-for-pound throne," our source added.

What does Lara need to do to get a big fight lol. Beats Austin Trout, Alfredo Angulo, and Vanes in his last three fights.

Meanwhile Angulo is TKOd by James Kirkland, then deportation, then Lara. Gets fight with Canelo lol.
Have fans lol There's maybe 20 people that want to watch Lara in a PPV fight. And yes, I made up that complex analysis. I like watching him fight, but no one wants to watch him fight. I'd venture to say that more people would rather watch Rigondeaux.

And obviously, Lara is a hell of a lot harder to beat than Angulo. Who would you rather fight if you were Canelo after getting embarrassed by Floyd?

And I'd like to see Provodnikov get the Pacquiao fight BUT he's in a juxtaposition with a trainer if he gets the fight which sucks. I have been a fan of his since he debuted, I don't want to see him get used up. It would be nice if he got some other fights at 140 but gotta get that money. Gotta think a fight in Asia would do well with those 2. I'd be curious to see if Provodnikov could get a Siberian fanbase to show up

Boxing is a sport. The WBC been dicking Lara around for 2-3 years now. All it would take is the WBC to actually enforce their own rules. Lara has the best resume at 154 by far. He's due his shot.

Canelo isn't Mayweather either lol PPV? Angulo fight won't be a PPV.

But fuck it Lara and James Kirkland should fight eachother since they know damn well Floyd and Canelo aren't fighting either one.
