Pacquiao vs. Bradley weigh-in video: Fighters make weight in Vegas
Watch as Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley take the scale for Saturday night’s big fight.
Pacquiao, 37, has said this will be the final fight of his Hall of Fame-bound career, and though there is some doubt as to whether that will stick -- it is boxing, after all -- the timing does seem to be right. He hasn’t fought in 11 months since his loss to Floyd Mayweather, a fight that was half a decade in the making and the only thing Pacquiao really hadn’t yet done in his career. He’s also currently running for a Senate seat in the Philippines, having served for years as a Congressman.
For Bradley, 32, he knows that this is -- as he put it this week -- his last and only chance to score a clear, decisive win over Pacquiao, and to be known as the fighter who sent Manny into retirement. Bradley does have an official win over Pacquiao in 2012, but that fight was widely considered a robbery, and Pacquiao clearly won the 2014 rematch.
SB Nation will have full coverage of Pacquiao-Bradley III tomorrow night, with the pay-per-view broadcast starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. For much more on Pacquiao-Bradley III and all things boxing, visit Bad Left Hook.
