By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao is expecting his fight this Saturday night against Tim Bradley to be a full scale war from start to finish in their fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao saw Bradley’s last fight against Brandon Rios last year, and he believes that Bradley has changed his fighting style to become more of a brawler than he was in the past.
By Chris Williams: Given the lack of talk an d hype about this Saturday’s fight between Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) and Tim Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs), it’s surprising that there’s a fight at all between these two guys. Compared to their two prior fights against each other in 2012 and 2014, this fight has been very quiet. The lack if interest from boxing fans in the Pacquiao-Bradley 3 fight reminds me a lot of the zero interest fans had in Pacquiao’s fights against Brandon Rios and Chris Algieri in the past. Pacquiao-Rios brought in 470,000 and Pacquiao-Algieri ended up with 400,000 buys.
Their promoter Bob Arum doesn’t seem to be bothered by the lack of fan interest in the fight, because he believes that Pacquiao-Bradley 3 will bring in between 700,000 to 800,000 pay-per-view buys on HBO. If that’s the case, then the fight will do roughly as well as their previous fights. That’s hard to believe because there was a lot of interest in those two fights from the boxing world.
By Dan Ambrose: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum still believes a match can be made between his fighter Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) and WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) if Pacquiao gets past Tim Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) in their fight this Saturday night on HBO pay-per-view, and if Pacquiao chooses to continue his career.
Arum isn’t sure whether Pacquiao would decide on fighting Canelo or if he would elect to fight the lighter WBO light welterweight champion Terence Crawford in a fight at 140. Arum says he would back Pacquiao in whatever fighter he chooses he wants to fight.
By Chris Williams: Tim Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) wants to be remembered forever by boxing fans in the distant future, and he believes one way he can become immortal is by beating Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) this Saturday night on April 9 in their fight on HBO pay-per-view from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Bradley says a win over Pacquiao will cause fans in the future to always mention his name each time they would talk about Pacquiao, because he will have owned two victories over the Filipino fighter. However, Bradley might need to beat Pacquiao in a brutal manner for him to be truly remembered, because beating him by a 12 round decision probably won’t be enough.
By Chris Williams: This coming Saturday night on April 9, the 37-year-old former eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) could be fighting for the final time of his career in his third fight against Tim Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) on HBO pay-per-view from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Pacquiao is coming off of shoulder surgery on his right shoulder from a torn rotator cuff that his promoter Bob Arum says he suffered eight years ago in 2008. Pacquiao has surgery on his shoulder last May following his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. Without any tune-up to test out his shoulder, Pacquiao will be going straight into his fight against Bradley this Saturday.
Arum expects Pacquiao to be better than he’s been in years despite the fact that he’s coming off a surgery and isn’t taking a tune-up.
LONDON (1 April) – Premier Sports will air what is likely to be boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao’s final fight live and exclusive in the UK when he steps in against Timothy Bradley next Saturday night.
By Dan Ambrose: Former eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) says his entire focus is beating Timothy Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) in their rubber match in less than two weeks from now on April 9 so that he can ride off into the sunset to retire in the Philippines off a win rather than other loss.
Pacquiao has made up his mind that he’ll be retiring whether he gets elected into the senate in the Philippines or not. The election will be taking place in May, and Pacquiao is expected to win the senate seat he’s running for.
By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) will be facing Tim Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) in the third and possibly the final fight of his career in less than two weeks on April 9 on HBO PPV, and Pacquiao wants to leave no doubt this time who the better fighter is of the two. The two fighters have faced each other twice with each winning one fight a piece.
While there is some controversy about whether Bradley deserved to win the first fight in 2012, there’s no question that Pacquiao rightfully won the second fight in 2014. However, this was before Bradley had Teddy Atlas as his trainer, and it was also before Pacquiao was schooled by Floyd Mayweather Jr. last May.
By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach is excited about what he’s seeing from former eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) as he gets ready for what could be the final fight of his long 21-year pro career against Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) on April 9 on HBO pay-per-view from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Roach believes that Pacquiao has the speed to overwhelm Bradley in this fight. Roach has been seeing that speed from Pacquiao during this training camp. I guess Pacquiao is training at a high level for this camp because his torn right rotator cuff is now completely healed after surgery.

By Chris Williams: Trainer Teddy Atlas has come up with a great game plan for Timothy Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) for his third fight against Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) in their fight on April 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bradley, 32, says he didn’t really have a great game plan in his first two fights against Pacquiao.
