Tim Bradley "I feel sad for Manny Pacquiao"


He feels sad for Manny, but I know we feel sad for him and the current hole he is in. How do you go from a Pacquiao PPV to fighting some russian dude on HBO in Carson? Boogles my mind, Timmy has made some really bad business decisions. He should of taken the Guerrero fight.

Bradley did it to himself. Sitting around and complaining after being awarded one of the most controversial decisions in recent memory didnt help either. Yes, he should've taken the Guererro fight but he thought he deserved more. He was wrong. The world saw him lose the Pacquiao fight, that's why he's not the star he thinks he should be. Not to mention bad mouthing Pac and Freddie didnt help. So, if he wants the big fights with big attention, he's gotta work his way back to it. He waited too damn long. It's a shame because he's a good fighter.

I think I would feel sorry for the guy that beat one of the most known athletes on planet Earth and can't sell 700 tickets in his home town.

Yeah, that's the way I see it as well...

the boxing world isn't too fond of rewarding robberies...and most of the non bias, objective fans saw it as a robbery.

Bradley is a great fighter, but he fumbled the ball on this on and the promotion of his next fight.

I'm not going to get into the whole "robbery vs non robbery" thing but I always figured in combat sports and such that the first offer was the best offer when it came to fight contracts.

I don't think the general boxing world cares about robberies at all UNLESS their superstar is the one getting robbed. No one cared when Hoya fought Sturm. No one cares that cloud got one of the worst decisions i've ever seen. No one cares that Lucas got robbed twice.

The fact Bradley had no real following is what really matters. He was pretty uninteresting and somewhat boring to watch before pacman. He's the same now.

I don't think the fans are mad at him or punishing him for the decision. They just never cared about him in the first place.

I am not alone in thinking PacMan beat Bradley. But I can accept the decision as just the way boxing can go sometimes. But I also think it's time PacMan retired.

People were pissed when Strum got robbed...

and the same applies to Lara vs Paul Willams...

Most unbiased, objective fans know who won those fights...and the same applies to the Bradley vs Pacman fight...
Bradley got the nod, but most people know who won that fight....the same applies to the 3rd JMm vs Pac fight.
