By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) will be facing Filipino Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) in a rematch on April 12th. Bradley feels that Pacquiao’s career will be on the line in this fight. If he loses the fight then it’ll be all over for the 35-year-old Pacquiao.
I don’t know if Pacquiao will be finished like he says, because he said before his last fight against Brandon Rios that he won’t retire even if he loses the fight. Pacquiao will likely continue to fight long after fans lose interest in paying to see him in his PPV fights. Pacquiao will almost surely continue fighting until the bitter end where he’s more of a journeyman fighter than a former champion. I don’t see Pacquiao retiring until his fights bring in less than 100,000 PPV buys each time he fights.
By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum feels that boxing fans really don’t care about most of the undercard fights. Arum feels that fans mainly care about the main event fights on pay-per-view cards. I guess that explains why Pacquiao’s undercard for his rematch against Tim Bradley is so empty of big name fighters and interesting fights. It’s subjective, of course. Some fans might see the fighters that Arum has stacked the Pacquiao-Bradley II undercard with at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, as being great fights that they just can’t wait to see. 
By Chris Williams: Earlier today the undercard for the April 12th pay-per-view bout between Manny Pacquiao and Tim Bradley was revealed by Dan Rafael of ESPN, and I’ve got to say this undercard is really lacking in a huge way. I thought that the undercard for Pacquiao’s last fight against Brandon Rios was a bad one last November, but this one is about the same, if not worse. As bad as this undercard is, I wouldn’t be surprised if this card brings in lower pay-per-view buys than Pacquiao’s last fight against Brandon Rios. That fight card brought in 475,000, and I wasn’t surprised at all at those low numbers because there were no big fights on the undercard to make up for the poor main event fight between Pacquiao and Bradley. 
By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) is quite pleased with the contract that he got from Top Rank for his April 12th rematch against Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
by Bob Smith: I was one of the many boxing fans who a year and a half ago watched the travesty of the 12 round unanimous decision win for Tim Bradley against Manny Pacquiao in their fight in June of 2012. It was difficult not to be angry and think of boxing as fixed, because the decision was so atrocious. I even made a resolve not to watch boxing that lasted an entire week.
By Chris Williams: It’s now been confirmed that WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) had to extend his contract with Top Rank in order to get the rematch with Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) on April 12th, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN. 
By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) will be making a $6 million guaranteed purse for his rematch with Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) on April 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. It looks Bradley caved in on the $10 million that he was reportedly asking for to fight Pacquiao a second time. Pacquiao will be getting $20 million.
By Chris Williams: The rematch between Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) and Tim Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) is a reportedly a done deal for April 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to Yahoo staff writer Kevin Iole. It looks like the sticking point in that was keeping Bradley from signing his portion of the contract was finally ironed out. 
By Chris Williams: The negotiations between Manny Pacquiao and Tim Bradley have hit a snag, according to Fighthype. It seems that Top Rank wants to lock the 30-year-old Bradley into a multi-fight contract extension as part of giving him the second fight against the 35-year-old Pacquiao. In other words, for Bradley to get the rematch with Pacquiao, he’ll have to re-sign with Top Rank for a certain amount of fights, even though it’s Top Rank who wants Bradley to fight Pacquiao in the first place. 
By Chris Williams: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says he hopes to make an announcement this Friday on the completed Manny Pacquiao vs. Tim Bradley rematch for April 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ruslan Provodnikov has been ruled out for the fight with Pacquiao due to him not being as well known as Bradley, and without a world title at 147. Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz says that the WBO welterweight title that Bradley has really interests Pacquiao.
