"[People] who say that, 'well, Arum is faking it,' and that 'he really maneuvered this to get the rematch,' they're not alone in saying that. That is of course, not true. In fact, that's preposterous," said Arum, adding that Pacquiao's contract "has another year and a half" remaining.

"We have to see what the more lucrative fight to do. Manny has to see that as a choice. He fought a very close, controversial fight with Marquez that some people felt Marquez won. He fought a fight with Bradley that nobody thought he lost, other than the two judges. So we have to now convince the public that the rematch will be somewhat different. Which is an easier sell?" said Arum, adding that a fourth Pacquiao-Marquez fight would also take place on Nov. 10.

I'd love to see Manny put the record straight with Bradley, but I'd rather see JMM/Pac 4.

I'd love to see Manny put the record straight with Bradley, but I'd rather see JMM/Pac 4.

Why? He already beat Bradley.

I don't get why people take the judges word over their own. Sure, officially you have to count it. But if anyone that saw the fight and saw that Pacquiao won quite comfortably, why they'd want an immediate rematch is beyond me. Especially in this circumstance. This wasn't a controversial decision, it was just a stupid one.

Arum needs to make another Marquez fight asap.

Didn't you say you had it a draw Roe, Or was you fucking about?

Maybe your right, but I think Manny could get the stoppage this time.

 

[Libertarian]

I'd rather they did the Bradley fight first.

I had Pac/Marquez III a draw. Bradley/Pacquiao I had 116-112 to Manny, but actually thought it was much closer than some people seem to think (ie I've heard a lot of 118-110 and things out there from press row etc which I think is really unfair on Bradley).

I'd rather they did the Bradley fight first.

:think Interesting. I guess because you're of the opinion that Marquez beat Pacquiao anyway, a rematch isn't really necessary just to right a bad decision (especially where there's every chance he'd get robbed again)? Whereas Pacquiao kind of has a point to prove against Bradley, because it was him that didn't get the nod this time?

It's all opinions I suppose, but I'd rather see Pacquiao/Marquez IIII first.

Funny enough I'd give Bradley a very good chance against Pacquiao in a rematch. Wouldn't make him favourite, but now that he has the experience (something he badly lacked and it showed early on in the fight IMO), it could be much closer.

 

[Chatty]

If they were clever they would do a massive event with Pacquaio V Bradley II (147)and Marquez V Rios (140) with the view to do a Pacquaio v Marquez IV should they both win. I'm sure they could do Marquez V Bradley or Pacquaio V Rios or Bradley v Rios should another spanner be thrown into the works as i think all those guys can pretty easily do 140 or 147 with only Rios possibly struggling to move up again (which he probably would for the payday.

Or maybes they could get bailey to fight Marquez for the IBF then they could promote a unifictaion megafight

 

[Vano-irons]

I'd honestly rather Pacquiao retire than fight under Top Rank again. Arum is a fucking scumbag. The day after the fight, he was claiming it was a disgraceful decision, but is this not him with tears in his eyes after Bradley 'won':

If I was Manny I'd tell him to do one and move on, takes floyd's 40 million quid offer and retire. A Bradley rematch is pointless, as he already beat him

:rofl That picture says it all, Arum is so blatantly a crooked bastard :-(

Tell me about it mate, horrible to see, especially given his reaction the day after

 

[doug.ie]

well..the bradley rematch is important, or i imagine it should be......maybe not with us now within the week after the fight as most of us agree manny won...but for his legacy..in 20 years time the casual boxing fan will look over his record and see that bradley beat him...i'm sure manny wouldn't want that, he'll have pride i'm sure.
marquez, who i feel won that last fight, most definetly deserves another rematch too...but who's going to be calling the shots ?...arum the moneymaker or manny who may be thinking about legacy?...what say will manny have ?...i'm sure he'll want bradley before marquez again.

 

[Chatty]

Arum said Manny has a year and a half left on his Top Rank contract. i expect a rematch with Bradley in November, a fight with JMM in May and then if he is still at the top of his game then I think he'll throw him in with Mayweather before he gets the chance to jump ship and cash every penny he can out of him. In the meantime he will promote Bradley as the guy who started the end of Pacquaio (despite probably losing the re-match) and let him rack up a load of wins before cashing in on him.

If I was Manny I'd be asking my lawyers how the fuck I get out of that horrible cunts contract asap

 

[Mandanda]

:rofl Picture cracks me up, Bradley's smile like a child getting Mac d's.

To be fair, BA did say 'Set the record straight' which kind of implies there is a blemish on Pacquiao's record with Bradley's name against it which he should like to remove.

if he doesnt beat bradley inside the distance in the rematch, or isnt very very convincing....expect to fit in a pac v bradley 3...the decider...in there somewhere....arum would be all over that i expect

I'm sure he would but I doubt it will be. Only hope Bradley has is for the judges to either be payed off again/be shit at their job again. he has nothing for Pacquaio as seen the other night, slower, is worse off in trading, can't hurt him but feels Manny's punches, hardly's lands anything. Only thing he had going for him was the jab and he didn't land that much really, just used it as a deterrent for Manny coming forward as much.

I think he wins the re-match and then sets up JMM 4. If Manny hasn't signed a new deal or looks like he is about to really slide then he will take the Mayweather cash imo.

 

[Nyanners :sad5]

Arum's a fucking liar, simple. Damage control.

 

[Scotty]

Pac needs to tell that old scrotum its Floyd or nothing in November and he'll agree to take 40%. If he doesn't make the fight, he should tell him he's going to play politician/ preacher full time and just let his contract run out then make the fight himself.

 

[Bryn]

Marquez IV is the best fight outside of Mayweather, make it happen. Pac has already comprehensively beaten Bradley, officially or not, Marquez should get the chance to beat Pacquiao for the 4th time and FINALLY get the decision.

WAR Marquez! :ibutt
