Looks like it is official, Manny Pacquiao will be returning to the ring to face Timothy desert storm Bradley. As a boxing fan it is wonderful to see Pacquiao back in the ring despite rumours of retirement circiulating. He will of course be going up against a familiar foe in Bradley who he has fought twice already. Personally I think there were better fights out there for Manny but they have gone down the safe route and put him in with a guy who in my opinion he has beaten twice. Since there last fight a lot has happened. Pacquiao has suffered a defeat at the hands of long time rival Floyd Mayweather and Bradley has parted with his coach Joel Diaz. Now both guys will be looking to put this trilogy to bed by coming out victorious on April 9.
Thoughts on the fight??

Yep love it too. We're lucky over here. Real buzz about British boxing right now. Not that interested over whats happening in America to be honest.

Hmm the Bradley fight possibilty hasnt went down to well by all accounts a lot of rumours goin about he is in talks to fight Broner. Pac aint what he was and may very well lose to Bradley i think now. However Broner should be easy pickings for him. And well all love watching Broner gettin beat up!! Hard to choose the closer more competitive fight would be Tim. Maybe more money and an easier night fighting Broner tho.

Yep. IFL is my go to channel for british boxing news and I love the behind the scenes interviews with Hearn and Warren.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ps IFL TV is very good. Koogs gets a bit too casual now and then to be fair tho especially since gettin the boxnation gig. However he is pretty impartial and respects pretty much all boxers out there. Its miles better than its American competitiors like ES news (biased as hell and really lacking in depth) and similarly Fight Hype TV ( i think thats its name?!) neither seem to have the longer interviews that cover a lot more.

Everyone knows that Pacquiao won both previous fights, even if the record books show different. Surely the main reason for this fight.

I'm assuming this means that Pac is going to fight on.
If he wanted one last fight then there are bigger ones out there that would make him more cash even without keeping it in house.
Imagine they are seeing this as a tune up fight after his lay off.

Pac has stated he is retiring after this fight.
Based on this, if he wins, a mega-money rematch is on the cards against Mayweather.
Maybe not the hardest fight for Mayweather...but it will generate the most cash. He doesn't call himself "Money" for nothing. (Queue some Dire Straights there...)
