The 28-year-old Bradley has become a possible contender after Floyd Mayweather Jr. was sentenced to a 90-day jail term on battery and harassment charges on Wednesday in Las Vegas.
Although he believes a Pacquiao-Bradley showdown would not really be appealing to fight fans, Salud said he leaves it all up to Top Rank Promotions chairman Bob Arum to hype up the 12-round title bout.
Bradley and durable Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez were among the names that Arum had earlier mentioned as Pacquiao's possible opponents early next year if ever a proposed mega-buck fight with Mayweather Jr. doesn't push through.
A Pacquiao-Mayweather match is unlikely to take place early 2012 after the 34-year-old fighter was sentenced by Las Vegas Clark County judge Melissa Saragosa to a 90-day jail term.
The undefeated American boxer out of Grand Rapids, Michigan pleaded guilty to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges stemming from a violent confrontation with his ex-girlfriend Joe Harris in September 2010.
Mayweather is expected to start serving his three-month sentence on January 6, thereby jeopardizing a supposed May 5 ring return that he suggested to face Pacquiao.
Although Marquez, 38, is also a viable opponent owing to the controversial result of his third fight with Pacquiao onNovember 12, Salud believes the result would still be the same should there be a fourth meeting between the two ring warriors.
"A fourth meeting between Pacquiao and Marquez won't benefit both fighters. The result will still be the same,' said Salud.
Pacquiao pulled off a highly-debatable majority decision win over Marquez to retain his WBO welterweight title. —
