With the Pacquiao vs Bradley fight just over a week away, the boxing world is buzzing about how good Timothy Bradley is looking, and what his chances may really be for winning this fight. According to Top Rank chief Bob Arum, if Pacquiao loses to Bradley, there would be a rematch on November 10. To some this may seem strange however the reality is that this is the same deal that has been signed in the last few Pacquiao fights, so nothing has really changed from that end.
In an interview with the Manila Bulletin, Arum explains:
“This is the reason why I haven’t talked about any other fight with Manny other than this upcoming fight with Bradley. He is getting paid well in this fight and it’ll take care of his children, and if he wins and fights Pacquiao in a rematch, the money he’s getting will take care of his grandchildren.”
While it is strange that Pacquiao’s promoter is already talking about a rematch it could mean two things. Firstly, Arum is playing mind games with the media in order to generate more Pay Per View buys by making people think Pacquiao can be beaten. Or, Arum believes Bradley has a legitimate shot, which he does. Either way, this fight will be great and the world will be watching come June 9th.
