Ward at this point wants fights that will make him money

I have a hard time believing HBO would put the 2 best fighters left in its stable heads up. Maybe if theyget desperate

Showtime is killing them right now
 
If Ward was in the business of making money, he wouldn't be doing this stupidity with his promoter again. He's killing too much time of his prime.

Plus, go to 175 already.
 
There's probably a few that think Bradley wins again. I'm not one of them. Bradley doesn't have enough pop to keep Pac off him for 12 rounds. On the flip side Pac has more than enough speed to keep up with Bradley and he still hits from weird angles.

I'm sure part of Bradley's extension was a win in this fight if it goes to the judges

:lol: Bradley beat Pac on two messed up ankles and had Pac punching air the whole fight (and yes I scored the fight and had Bradley winning). This one will be a more dominant performance by Bradley.

Bradley definitely lost the Pacquaio fight was dumbfounded when i first heard the scorecard.

i want Pacquaio to win but i think i'll pass on that PPV
 
anyone that thinks bradley won the first fight, 'doesnt know ****'

but bradley will win the rematch lol
 
As long as he keeps landing with his head first, Timmy should be able to keep it closer.

But I am definitely passing on this PPV.
 
GGG likely to face Andy Lee.

You can cross former middleweight titlist Daniel Geale off the list of potential opponents for Gennady Golovkin’s April 26 HBO fight at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York.

You can also cross off James Kirkland, another of the three leading candidates.

You know what that means? That means GGG likely will face former title challenger Andy Lee.

“We're close. We’re talking, and Andy wants the fight,” Lou DiBella, Lee’s promoter, told ESPN.com on Wednesday. “Andy believes he can win, and this is a fight that he wants.”

Geale (29-2, 15 KOs) is scheduled to face Australian countryman Garth Wood on Feb. 19 in Geale’s first bout since losing his belt to Darren Barker in a great fight in August in Atlantic City, N.J., but he was viewed as the leading candidate to try to slow down the Golovkin train.

But he’s now out of the picture. Geale and promoter Gary Shaw both said that the reason is because if he fights Golovkin on April 26 -- the firm date for Golovkin’s next fight, mainly because that is when the MSG Theater is available -- the bout would not be televised in Australia, where most fights of consequence are on Main Event PPV. On April 26, Main Event PPV is already slated to air a UFC pay-per-view.

With no Australian television revenue, that would leave Geale without an important piece of his overall revenue for a fight with Golovkin (29-0, 26 KOs), who is coming off last week’s bruising seventh-round knockout of Osumanu Adama in Monte Carlo.

“We weren't ducking him," Geale told Fox Sports Australia. “If they had given us a week later or a week before, it would have been perfect. But they wouldn't budge on the date and I want the people of Australia to be able to see a fight like that. Golovkin has built his name up so well; he's stopped pretty much everybody he's been in there with. I don't want to go over there [to the U.S.] and do something great and nobody see it."

Shaw told ESPN.com, “I agree with Geale. He wants his fights to be shown in Australia. Hope he gets the next fight with enough time to secure a TV network. Geale has never been afraid to fight GGG and continues to believe that he has a chance.”

After stopping Osumanu Adama on Saturday, Gennady Golovkin, left, is ready to get back in the ring as soon as April.
Kirkland (32-1, 28 KOs), the vicious junior middleweight puncher who would have to move up in weight for the fight, was also in the running. In fact, some at HBO preferred him over Geale as GGG’s opponent.

But according to sources involved in the talks, Kirkland’s camp has rejected the fight. Instead, there’s a good chance that Kirkland, of Austin, Texas, will wind up on the April 26 HBO undercard with the understanding that if Kirkland and Golovkin both win they would meet in the summer.

That left Ireland’s Lee (31-2, 22 KOs), HBO’s third choice but the one guy willing to take the fight and the guy who probably can significantly boost ticket sales. New York’s Irish fight fans are very loyal to their fighters.

Lee has won three low-level fights in a row since being destroyed in a seventh-round knockout loss to then-middleweight titlist Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June 2012.

I don’t think Lee stands much of a chance against Golovkin, but I didn’t think Geale or Kirkland did either.

I thought the fight was extremely close and that Bradley didn't do enough to take the belt but some wack jobs think Pac dominated him. Those are the people that don't know ****. Majority of Pac's punches did not land. The man was punching air majority of the fight

Crazy part is Tim was doing that on a bad leg. I dont care what anyone says but the fact Pac never put him down once and didnt dominate that fight tells me that Bradley has the heart of a champion

and this fight should be interesting but like many here i will not be buying
 
The rematch between Bradley and Pacman does seem interesting. I could see pacman stealing the belt back and TR making this a trilogy. Unless someone calls me up to go half on the fight, I ain't buying.
Cotto vs Martinez, can wait for that fight.
 
people making ggg seem like he's this unstoppable monster, imo, a pure boxer will have him chasing air.

Kirkland simply wasn't ready to move up to 160 by April.
 
Andre Ward would UD Gennady Golovkin fairly easily.  Golovkin doesn't want that fight either; he'd rather face Andy Lee, who last fought Ferenc Hafner in a 6 rounder.
 
Man, I thought people were just ******g around saying Ward doesn't want anything to do with GGG :lol:

Thought the article made the Kirkland situation pretty clear.
