Why did Pacquiao fight Tim Bradley three times?

They technically each had a win so a 3rd made sense...technically.

but I agree, a 3rd fight seemed unnecessary, on my card Pac was 3-0

I recently started watching boxing and I don't get why Pac fought Bradley a total of three times. Bradley was alright, not a bad boxer at all. He didn't really beat anybody great prior to fighting Pac, but regardless, they fought a total of 3 times? Why? Most people had Pac winning the first fight (I thought Pac won but it was close), and Pac again won decisively a second time. Why did they fight another time?

Like can you imagine if Floyd fought maidana three times. Like what's the point

Because TOP RANK? He also defeated Marquez clearly.

Easy fight to make for Arum...

Technically they had one win each. Rubber match settled it.

Top Rank collected from them both 3 times, and Bradley was really a Jnr WW so Manny could avoid full blown WWs across 3 fights and they were competitive fights although lack lustre, I thought the 3rd was a total waste of time.
