[KnightAndDay]

Confirmed about 2 hrs ago on espn.

Stopped caring about Pacquiao after he defrauded us by fighting with a bum shoulder against Mayweather. Real boxing fans would have waited. What we had to watch was garbage.

Used to be a big Pac fan. Over it.

 

[KnightAndDay]

Bradley's only gotten better, Pacquiao's only gotten worse.


Bradley's coming off a KO win over a quality opponent. Pacquiao's coming off an 11-month layoff which included shoulder surgery.


Bradley by decision.

uninterested in a 3rd fight. I guess Pac decided that Crawford would be too much for him.

And spend 100 bucks

I have no interest in this fight. This fight won't get my money. I'll look for it on the internet and if I can't find it I'll be just fine.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

This is a pretty interesting fight to me. Simply because Pacquiao is losing steam, but I still expect him to find a way to win.

You're joking right? You honestly think Mayweather would have waited a year for Pacquiao to recover? Mayweather would have wiped the sweat off his forehead in relief and retired if Pacquiao had done that.

Same here. He did look solid in his last few fights prior to the Mayweather fight

I have no idea if he would have waited. You may be right, but I'd have preferred he took the chance and not just taken the paycheck and fought him with half an arm. Just a fan's perspective.

Do I get why Pac just decided to take a loss and millions in the process (hopefully) knowing he had no chance beating a great fighter with that injury? Yes. Would I have done the same thing? Hard for me to say. If I didn't have millions in the bank, probably....but if I did and held myself out to be a certain type of guy...no.

Zero intrest in this fight would have much rather seen him fight Crawford. Bradley is a good fighter,but not great. Like Mayweather he decided to fight someone who couldn't really threaten him in term of K.O. This is a 50/50 fight only because Pac is clearly in decline. I will watch tis one the following weekend when its free.

Another poor booking decision by Pac's team. Just like fighting Marquez for the bazillionth time, this is a no-win for Pac. If he wins, in the eyes of the most fans, he just beat a guy for the third time. If he loses, it's a clear indication he's lost it (which I think it unfair as it discredits Bradley, but that's how people will see it).

Should have booked an opponent he's never faced before.

It's fight night.

Exactly why I did not order the fight or even try to find a link on my laptop

You can still watch it for free like I did. The last fight I actually paid for was Mayweather-Pacquiao. Kinda sucks knowing that when I go to Mexico all the fights are nationally televised.

Going to have to watch this fight again in HD, just to understand exactly what Bradley was trying to do. It was a good fight but it didn't seem like Bradley fought very hard, especially in the 12th where Bradley didn't even let his hands go. Maybe it was because he knew he was defeated, maybe he was paid to provide a nice send off for Pacquiao.

My brother had a fight party for May-Pac. Last fight I actually paid for Cotto/Canelo in November.

Honestly there shouldn't have been a 3rd fight if those idiot judges from fight #1 did not hand the fight to Bradley

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Pac should fight Canelo now.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

I agree, but Pacquiao really sounds done. 37 years old and he's not as lightning-quick as he used to be.

I know a really good streaming website you could use if you're interested. It's not HD quality but it's good enough to see the fights as well as any other sport without overpaying.
