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
