Bob Arum: Timothy Bradley and Manny Pacquiao clash most probable – Boxing news
Manny Pacquiao’s fans should get ready to see their pugilist bout, since Bob Arum, promoter of Pacman, has officially thrown a hopeful comment that Manny and Timothy Bradley collision is possible and most probably on June 9, 2012.
Manny and Timothy both are owned and promoted by Top Rank, Bob Arum’s promotion organisation. It is this reason why almost all the analysts are expecting a Bradley-Pacquiao clash since both men are vacant and available and don’t have any other engagement
up till the mentioned date.
Manny underwent a bumpy road of being thumbed down almost disrespectfully by three of the four probable men who were put forth by Arum. The four names were Miguel Cotto, Juan Manuel Marquez, Timothy Bradley, and Lamont Peterson.
Unfortunately an interesting flush out took place and Timothy remained left as the available prospect for Manny. Miguel due to the unacceptable demand of weight deduction ignored the idea of fighting Manny and is now getting ready to take on Floyd Mayweather
Junior most probably on May 5, 2012.
Lamont on the contrary is busy dealing with Amir Khan controversy and was not available at all since the court ordered an immediate rematch between Amir and Lamont. Juan, who was Manny’s last opponent and took a good beating just last year apologised and
said that he now wants a bout in his hometown Mexico.
The only man left was Timothy Bradley and Bob who first predicted has now recently confirmed that since both men are his agency’s client therefore there will be no problem in conducting the bout.
Bob stated, “We’re holding the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It’s [Pacquiao-Bradley] not finalized yet, but they’re both our fighters, and we’re hoping that we can get it done, and we think that we can get it done.”
The only aspect left is the obstacle created by Michael Koncz, Manny’s financial advisor, who claimed that the news is still not confirmed and that Juan Marquez, Lamont Peterson, and Timothy Bradley all three are still open options and nothing at all has
been finalised.
It must be kept in mind that Top Rank owns both Bradley and Manny. After the automatic eradication of the three prospects Bradley is the only man left to enter the ring with Pac-man in his career’s 60th bout.
