Manny Pacquiao will face Timothy Bradley Jr. instead of the much expected bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The choice of Bradley was due to the insistence of Floyd to give Pacquiao $40 million guaranteed fight purse but without any share in the pay-per-view income which is estimated to reach more than $100 million.
But Bradley is not a pushover.
The undefeated American fighter holds the record of 28-0, 12 KOs while Manny holds a boxing record of 54-3-2, 38 KOs.
The fight will be for the WBO welterweight championship belt held by Pacquiao.
The Pacquiao vs Bradley fight will happen on June 9 at the MGM in Las Vegas, Nevada and will be aired live via pay-per-view.
