Timothy Bradley On Mayweather-Pacquiao: 'Money' Doesn't Have Edge Anymore, Superbout Improbable
Timothy Bradley doesn't think that Floyd Mayweather will have an edge over Manny Pacquiao, should the much-awaited superbout finally happen.
It has been more than four years since the clamour started, and all the hype and build-up have only gotten the fans, as well as Bradley himself, excited.
"I think it's an even fight right now, honestly. I mean, it's taken for any other guys...Mayweather can win the fight, so can Manny," he told Fighthype.com.
"I think it's gonna be a great, exciting fight. I think it's gonna be great for boxing, great for the fans out there."
"I'm gonna be excited, I'm a be a fan that night. I know the ticket's gonna be expensive as hell. Probably, forty thousand for ringside seats, but you know what, I'm willing to pay that to see this fight."

While he admits that "Money" may have an advantage in the tactical department, the tenacity of "Pacquiao" pretty much cancels it out.
"Years ago, I think Mayweather had the edge, but now, being in the ring with Manny and seeing what Manny does...I haven't been able to get in the ring with Mayweather, I know he's a superior boxer, but Manny's gonna come all night, he is gonna come and bring it," he added.
"It's an interesting fight, but I think it's 50/50, honestly...whatever you like, whoever you like, root for that guy, may the best man win. It (sic) don't matter to me who wins the fight, I mean, I'm not betting on the fight, at all."
"I just wanna see a great, exciting fight and see the two best guys in the sport."
However, Bradley is rather pessimistic about the probability of blockbuster event taking place, as negotiations still continue to stall due to disagreements in terms.
"That fight ain't gonna ever happen," he intimated.
"I honestly don't think that fight's going to happen. I know what they are talking about, it's speculation."
