Arum & Bradley tops Barnum and Bailey
By Emmanuel Rivera, RRT PhilBoxing.com Fri, 22 Jun 2012
Lost Wages, Nevada: Bob Arum and Tim Bradley are dishing out post-fight desserts disguised as Pinoy koolaids for a rematch with Manny---who PREFERS Halo-Halo* (Pinoy version of shaved ice, fruits & sweets) enjoyed best in the summertime. Even better with friends while watching muted replays of the ?Heist? with the judges decisions read in Braille.
Boxing's latest brouhaha is pointing towards a November 10th Pacquiao rematch with Timothy Bradley in Vegas or a fourth zarzuela with Juan Manuel Marquez in Mexico.
London?s Jeff Powell (Daily Mail) who earlier called it the ?$200 million robbery? is saying, ?There's no inked deal yet.?
Bob Arum is sticking to a worn refrain,"The decision is ridiculous! A rematch is in order!?
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
WBO?s evidence-based cabal agreed, ?Manny Pacquiao won. Period.?
Raul Rodriguez, a rabid fight fan, advises, "A shut eye, chug-a-lug a San Miguel light and wait for the jailbird Floyd Jr. to get out of the clink for a 'Thrilla in Manila? with Manny ?Pacman? Pacquiao.
I say we go with my father, Hermie Rivera, who said it best on YouTube, ?Bradley?s chances of winning or pulling an upset of Pacquiao is akin to having satan start serving sherbet or ice cream in hell. As simple as that.?

Who knows what?s next from the Bob Arum and Tim ?Dessert Storm? Bradley?
But I'm buyin?.
*MANNY KNOWS Halo-Halo? I bet.
