It has been announced that the fight will happen April 9th. Very disappointed is there any appetite for this fight at all ? Brook Khan Garcia Thurman I would have been more interested.

badabing106 · 31-12-2015 08:22PM

I am going to take a wild guess that the winner gets Mayweather?

barney4001 · 31-12-2015 10:04PM

i think they all running scared of khan now,to young to fast and a heavy hitter mayweather wanted no part of khan now pacman is stepping back from it

RayK0309 · 31-12-2015 10:28PM

It's business. Thurman, Garcia and Khan are all with Al Haymon. It's great that the PBC fighters are getting paid but they're going backwards.Maybe Top Rank don't wanna risk a loss to Crawford as a competitive but winnable fight against Bradley proves Pac still has it and then they go for the rematch with Mayweather. Too much money there not to do a rematch in my opinion. He may be a risk but noone's ducking Khan. He just came off a struggle with Algieri..

I would've thought that they'd want Crawford to beat pac man as sort of a passing of the guard. Khan needs to cop on and realise he isn't getting the money fights in Vegas. If he wants a money fight there's a big one on the table in the summer against Kell Brook I would imagine.

Dtp1979 · 31-12-2015 11:34PM

I thought mayweather retired?

RayK0309 · 01-01-2016 01:41AM

I would've preferred the Khan fight myself but I guess their just lookin at the numbers. I think Pac mmmight have been too much for Crawford at this stage anyway and Top Rank prolly wanna market the all important '0' for the future. Whatever,I still think it's not as bad as Berto. Surely after this Khan/Brook has to happen!

Chrissybhoy · 01-01-2016 09:14AM

Why isn't Brook getting a mention ? I think he's ahead of most WW he's a world champ he's unbeaten. People might say it's not a money spinner but you would be surprised any UK fighter will sell and Brook has name in the states after the Porter fight.

As for people running scared of Khan not a hope. He's the only that can be accused of that Brook looking for him 3 years now. He has no excuse massive money involved chance to fill Wembley and a world title shot what more does a fighter want ?

Lets not call a frying pan a shovel....

Is there really any interest in Pac vs Brad 3 ???

Of course not.

I was hoping that maybe Pac would shut that little squirt up permanently (Broner), instead he opted for the robotic 'fireman' Bradley... So what would this achieve when all said and done..?? The answer is quite simple.. Another waltz with the Moneyman...

'But he's retired' I hear you say..... Yeah, right... Like they are going to leave two or three million on the table before they retire (for real!)

This is how it plays out ..... Pac wallop's Bradley in an amazing display or courage, power and excitement... For once, Pac hits a scripted speech and call's Mayweather out of his phoney retirement, he states his shoulder is running on all cylinders, and comes across as aggressive (Oh my!!!!), he may even bait Mayweather back into a return clash, I would suggest that Arum has a well prepared script already drafted up...

Meanwhile, the globe trotting doping suspect is keeping an eye on the fight, as well as his bank account that is constantly heading more South as each hour passes..... And see's the opportunity to play the victim... This thorn in his side has just demolished the robotic Bradley, and claims to the world that he is fully fixed again.... Wow.. How can the Moneyman resist another $200 million plus for one last encore...??

Remember my little mince pies, boxing is a business... A money business. Both these players are finished for definite after this year. Pac goes into politics full time, and Mayweather on his real ego trip of 50-0 unbeaten. Both men can achieve this endgame, whilst slicing up a $350 million cake along the way....

But..... Pacquaio has to look good against Bradley to pull it off.

hmm not many big ppvs left to be honest, manny is a businessman so lets see what the numbers do.

Chrissybhoy · 06-01-2016 03:45PM

Pacquiao now confirms that he will retire after the Bradley fight

I doubt it. Prolly misquoted like the silly salt-water thing. He has all the time in the world to run in politics. While he still can and there's money to be made he'll fight. Arum doesn't wanna sell it as a final hurrah and Roach said he doubts it too..At least it seems to me that everyone here thinks he should handily beat Bradley.

RayK0309 · 17-02-2016 06:19PM

BoxingScene reporting Nike want to cut ties with Pacquiao. What a ****in jackass.

Frank Bullitt · 17-02-2016 09:00PM

Nike officially have terminated his contract.

Silly thing for him to say.

flanna01 · 17-02-2016 09:06PM

It's a pity that Nike is not as concerned about their child labour sweat shops dotted throughout Asia....

Frank Bullitt · 17-02-2016 09:16PM

Double standards at its best.

RayK0309 · 18-02-2016 05:23PM

So now, according to BoxingScene, it seems he'll still be wearing their gear in the ring!

SHOVELLER · 26-02-2016 03:48AM

Flights booked only because they are reasonable! And chap in work is going is Filipino so looking forward to seeing Vegas again:D

bside29 · 28-02-2016 07:38AM

No more Nike for Pac, I believe he is now preparing to sign for Under Armour (Source: http://pinoygreats.com)

Andre 3000 · 28-02-2016 01:50PM

I doubt any major company will want anything to do with Manny's name at the moment...too much hate from the media and the internet.

O'Neills should reach out to our very own Mainchín Ó Peáchfaoláin and get him sorted for his last fight :pac:

bside29 · 02-03-2016 03:19AM

I agree, too much hate from the media.. They even want to ban the Pacquiao-Bradley 3 broadcast in his own country. SMH

Henno30 · 02-03-2016 11:14AM

Entirely justifiable criticism. Pacquiao's barbaric and backwards views on sexual orientation should be condemned in the strongest terms possible.

RayK0309 · 25-03-2016 09:30PM

Is there a special one-off tv special planned for this fight? Like HBO...I realise 4 eps of 24/7 would be too much but you know...Back in the ring after the May 2 fight and all that...

RayK0309 · 25-03-2016 11:24PM

Thanks for that. I'll be honest. My knowledge of the sport is that of a casual (I'm here to learn) I know of and have watched only Abraham and Gradovich but I've read that it's a pretty solid undercard throughout. I've warmed to the fight though as it's neared. I am a Pac fan no doubt as he was the one that cemented by interest in the sport after DLH so part of me hopes he ko's Bradley with a right hook!!!..ya right

Hi folks. Question regarding this fight, or vegas events in general.

What time is the main event likely to hit the ring?

I'm taking the father in law to Vegas and our flight lands at 8pm on the 9th. He's a big boxing fan and I'd love to get to the event, even if we only catch the main event.

It will probably take around an hour, hour and a half to get from the airport to the hotel (staying at the MGM fortunately) and get our bags dropped which would leave us reaching the arena at half 9.

Sickens me to pay for a ticket and miss the entire undercard, although my experience of MMA events in Vegas is that a lot of people only show up for the main event anyway.

I've Googled and seen various suggestions for the in ring time for the main fight, from 8 to 10pm.

Any suggestions folks?

I think you're cutting it a bit fine, as you can never be sure of flight delays, traffic, crowds, etc.

However, I think you should contact the event organisers / promoters and get an idea. In England main events almost never start before 10pm, the Germans can be earlier, so just check it out officially first before you make any plans.

RayK0309 · 28-03-2016 01:45PM

9 o'clock will be very very close. That's working from a bleary-eyed memory of many a night waiting up for a fight set in Vegas..Mind you I got my times wrong for the Ward fight the other night so it depends on how the undercard goes as well I suppose. You lucky bastard!

magma69 · 28-03-2016 02:23PM

Hopefully Bradley wins and Pac retires. Really sick of him these last few years.

StringerBell · 29-03-2016 11:55PM

Im a huge Pac fan, I really like Tim Bradley also. There is no need for this fight though tbh, Manny dominated the first fight and got robbed completely, the second fight was actually closer but still a win for Manny.

I look forward to Manny retiring at this point, he is not the same force he was .

Andre 3000 · 30-03-2016 12:43PM

I think this is Bradley's to lose tbh. Dare I say it but a stoppage wouldn't shock me.

StringerBell · 30-03-2016 01:15PM

I think Bradley is well capable of a mid to late round stoppage, not sure how much Manny has left at all.
