Pacquiao-Bradley Fight Won't Start Until Heat-Celtics Game 7 Ends


From months of waiting, we are now down to days before the much awaited boxing event to happen in MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This Pacquiao-Bradley fight has been creating much buzz in the online sports world as this is said to be the one of the best matches that could ever happen, except for the seemingly impossible Pacquiao-Mayweather bout of course.

Bradley is undefeated but he is about to face the best among the bests this time. A boxer who clearly has longer experience than him and has had faced tougher opponents. This may mark his first defeat but according to his past interviews, he's confident to win this one.

Meanwhile, team Pacquiao also thinks the same. Bradley may be undefeated by if you're going to trace his record, he fought against weaker opponents compared to Manny. They're very sure that the game would end up Pacquiao knocking out Bradley.

However, before everyone gets excited on the match, there is this another major sport event that was totally not expected to happen at the same time with the Pacquiao-Bradley match and that is the Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals between Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. A lot of the Heat/Celtics fans who are also Pacquiao/Bradley's are in major dilemma on which event to watch.

Worry no more because promoter Bob Arum is resolving the issue. He released the following statemnent:

I’m not waiting for Manny’s request on this one. We will not begin the Pacquiao–Bradley main event fight until the Celtics and the Heat finish their playoff game. Now Manny, the Heat, the Celtics, and sports fans watching the basketball game won’t have to make a choice between events — they will be able to watch both.

This is going to be one of the best moments ever! Heat versus Celtics followed by Pacquiao versus Bradley. What more can you ask for?
