Big Head vs. Provodnikov

Shows exactly how much people care about Bradley, that even degenerates like us aren't talking about this fight. I don't think Provodnikov has the skills to win, but i'd love to see him pull it off.

Not really much of a test for a guy that cleaned out 140 & "defeated" Pacquiao.

Granted, it's tough to be in a situation when you get a bogus win over a much more popular fighter, but Bradley did himself no favors by sitting on his ass for nearly a year (again) and refusing to speak with the media.

He's another fine graduate of the Ronald L. Wright School for Boxing Management.

ive got zero interest in watching or talking about that fight.hbo bought that slop .i wish arum would give bradley his well deserved walking papers.lets see 1000 tickets sold.3000 comps .200 sold with buy one get two free.a crowd of 4600.sounds right if they can find 3000 folks to give freebees to.

Sounds about right.

Low attendance and TV ratings for this fight for sure. It might end up being a decent fight I believe. I just hope Bradley doesnt butt Ruslan, I want to see a good ending to this fight.

TV ratings won't be helped by a major UFC show the same night, with GSP vs Diaz. I'll be out at the bar watching that (going out early for my BDay since it's next thursday) and DVRing Big Head's fight. And yes it could be a good fight, but this has headbutt fest written all over it, i'm suprised he never nailed Pac with it.

bradley messed up his career by ducking khan. he had a good chance at beating khan a couple of years ago which would have made him a bigger name. instead, he waited around for pac and then got a gift decision that everybody knew and then has done nothing since. remember when he was a p4p fighter? haha. i never thought he was but he was on most lists. he is just a joke now.

I hope that Pac money lasts him a lifetime.

Provodnikov by Ko in the 5th.

He will need to channel Tszyu.

Ducking Khan wouldn't have been that big of a deal if he had followed up his "win" over Pac with some solid performances. Instead he went AWOL and refused to speak with the media because he was upset over nobody believing he won. Personally, having watched him struggle a bit with Holt, I think Khan would have given him a lot of problems.

his ego problems started with the kahn fight plus screwing his former promoter who made a fight before his contract ran out and wanted a ten day extention so bradley could contractulay honor the fight which he said yes to..then he goes with arum and gets a huge 1.2 million to fight a washed up lighweight.he turns down 2.3 million to fight petterson a guy he already beat.he then gets a lawyer who arum hates to call bob to negiotiate stuff..he turns down a big payday to fight gamboa which bob worked with 50 cent.the reason was bradley was not willing to fight at 143 or 144..now hes fighting a guy unranked at 140 by dan r and espn but somehow is ranked 10th by ring mag in a stacked division but the fights at 147..
he lucked out on the pac fight where he was last choice between cotto and marquez.no wonder hes avoiding the media..tons of legit questions he cant anser outside of saying im a moron.fuck this punk.

I actually don't fault him for dumping Gary Shaw, Shaw is awful at promoting his guys. He won't pay for any type of pre-fight advertising, press (B-Hop's fight with Dawson just had B-Hop on the press conference, since Shaw was too cheap to pay for conference call), he just lives of the site fees and has guys fighting in half to 3/4 empty venues (the Bradley-Alexander debacle at stadium). Not mention scouts his fighters by putting an ad in the friggin' classified section of the Star Ledger, where every last bum will respond to. Say what you want about Top Rank and GBP, at least they actually promote their guys.

I'll be surprised to see Bradley fight twice a year. Hes looking for millions of dollars per fight and he isnt worth that. I hope he fights Keith Thurman, but its highly unlikely. I predict Bradley will fight Mayweather in September. I also think Pacquaio isnt returning till late this year and its going to be against a nobody. I believe Marquez will fight Rios this year.

Bradley vs. Flod won't happen, not if Flod is still aligned with GBP.
