Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley June 9, 2012

Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley June 9, 2012 - It’s official. Bradley has signed the contract to fight Manny Pacquiao. The fight will be held on where else but MGM Grand Las Vegas on June 9, 2012.
Weeks before this announcement, hope ignited once more for a possible Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight. However, that possibility was crushed once again when Mayweather didn’t agree to a 50/50 split.
Pacquiao’s next-best opponent choice was Cotto, Marquez, Peterson, and Bradley. Mayweather afterwards decided to fight Cotto. Peterson, who was viewed to be the next opponent of Marquez, but will instead rematch Amir Khan this May. So, that leaves Pacquiao with Bradley.
Bradley is what gamblers call a high risk, low reward opponent. Its high risk because the young undefeated fighter is about the same size as Pacquiao, possesses quick feet, and has a habit of using his head as a third glove. Bradley joined the stable of Top Rank fighters recently hoping to get a shot at Pacquiao. The wish of Timothy came true today when he signed to fight boxing’s top pugilist for a $5 million guarantee.
It’s low reward, because Manny Pacquiao will have to sell this pay per view fight on his name alone - Bradley is not a household name among casual fans. But then again, this might prove the naysayers wrong once again.
“When will Pacquiao fight a black fighter?” that was the question of critics two years ago. Fans were quick to point out that Manny fought black fighters before in the form of Ledwaba and Julio. A few months after the question were asked Pacquiao fought another black fighter in the form of Clottey. Critics were undeterred, this time around appending their statement to “when will Pacquiao fight an African American boxer?” Mosley of course happened.
So the question now is “when will Pacquiao fight a young, in his prime, African-American boxer?” The answer is on June 9, 2012.
