LAS VEGAS, USA – Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley both made weight easily Friday, April 8 for their third meeting Saturday at the MGM Grand Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 knockouts) weighed in at 145.5 pounds while Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) weighed 146.5 pounds.
A few thousand fans filled the half-partitioned MGM Grand Garden Arena for the weigh-in ahead of what Pacquiao says will be the final fight of his 21-year career before retiring to focus on his political career.
Bradley, a former junior welterweight champion and two-time WBO welterweight titleholder, is coming off a knockout victory over Brandon Rios in November.
A few empty seats dotted the arena but there were a couple Philippine flags being waved through the crowd. The attendance was also boosted by the many supporters of Mexican boxers Oscar Valdez and Gilberto Ramirez, who will fight on the televised undercard.
Pacquiao weighed 147 for their first meeting in 2012, which Bradley won by a controversial split decision, and weighed 145 for their rematch in 2014, which Pacquiao won by unanimous decision. Bradley weighed 146 for their first fight and 145.5 for the rematch. – Rappler.com
