By Dan Ambrose: WBC interim welterweight champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (30-1-1, 18 KO’s) is convinced that boxing fans, HBO and Golden Boy Promotions all want to see him fight WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (29-0, 12 KO’s) on December 15th in his next fight.

Guerrero said on his twitter “I want Tim Bradley, period! Golden Boy and Oscar De La Hoya make it happen! Fans want it, HBO Boxing wants [it]. No reason for it not to happen.”

Poor Guerrero has waiting for a big money fight his entire career and thus far they’ve eluded him. I’m not so certain that a Bradley-Guerrero fight could be considered a big money fight, however, because if Golden Boy or Top Rank try to make this the main event on a pay per view card they’d likely be lucky if it drew even 100,000 pay per view buys. Right now, I think 100,000 would be an extremely high number for that fight unless they packaged the Guerrero-Bradley fight Saul Alvarez or Manny Pacquiao. That’s possible but highly unlikely. The December 15th fight, if it happens, would likely see Bradley and Guerrero as the main event and that’s kind of scary if they’re talking about it being a PPV fight.

Guerrero has been after a bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr. for the longest time but the fight just hasn’t interested Mayweather any. He’s obviously good a good judge of what sells and what doesn’t sell, and realizes that if he chose to fight the tall and slender Guerrero, that he’d be the only one drawing the fans. Mayweather would have to do all the heavy lifting himself if he were to make that fight work.

Unlike Guerrero, Bradley has recently tasted the good money from a mega fight in his bout against Manny Pacquiao last June. Bradley made over $5 million for that fight, and we’re not sure what his final total was because HBO never officially released the PPV stats for that fight for some very odd reason. We’ve heard that it made over 800,000 buys, but since the number never came from HBO, some boxing fans see this number as possibly inflated by as much as 400,000 buys. What this could mean is that Bradley and Guerrero wouldn’t be a big fight if their promoters decided to put this as a PPV bout, and I think they probably would. I imagine Bradley would be counting on it being PPV, because it would give him a chance to get some cash if they can sell the fight. It’s really hard to imagine HBO doing a Bradley-Guerrero 24/7. That would be interesting if that happened.

Guerrero might have enough to beat Bradley, because Guerrero has a far superior work rate than Bradley and that might be enough to win the fight. Bradley looked slow and over muscular against Pacquiao. He didn’t throw a lot of punches and just looked like he didn’t have the offense to really let his hands go in a big way. To beat Guerrero, Bradley would have to throw a lot of shots and that might not be possible.

I’ll just be surprised if Golden Boy and Top Rank can put this fight together because they rarely work with one another nowadays. HBO will probably agree to the fight, but it’s unclear whether Golden Boy ans Top Rank will.
