Pacquiao vs. Bradley: Manny Losing Luster with Fans Leading Up to Fight



Manny Pacquiao could do no wrong, until he did. Now the vaunted hero to the masses is fumbling to the finish line of a legendary career.

The days when Manny Pacquiao was the clear-cut good guy with most boxing fans over villain Floyd Mayweather Jr. are over.

After a meager showing against Juan Manuel Marquez, and then failing to solidify a fight with Money May, something that was equally on Mayweather, Pacquiao is losing his legendary luster.

This is a boxer that could do no wrong and will instead see his fight against Timothy Bradley get far more negative press than any of his other fights, and rightfully so.

On Tuesday, Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley kicked off their promotional tour for the June 9th bout that will no doubt need some shine put to it.



It hardly sounds like a boxer that is hungry to prove he has what it takes to defeat Floyd Mayweather. Perhaps it is classic boxing posturing, so fans will think the Bradley fight is the last chance to see Mayweather live.

Maybe Pac-Man realizes he has lost a step or two, which would certainly make sense considering Mayweather has finally stated he is ready for such an epic matchup.

The press conference on Tuesday featured Pacquiao as a star boxer fighting a no-name pugilist. Bradley has the talent to make this a fight, but that is hardly what will get fans to come back to the man that has amazed them for the better part of a decade.
Pacquiao should get a heroes send off into retirement, but instead will get flooded with questions on his journey to fight a boxer that is not Floyd Mayweather.

There is still hope for that matchup, but both boxer's ages guarantee the best of that duo has long since left us.

This will be one hell of a sell to get us back on board with Pacquiao, and a fight he says is worth our time.
