Why did Pacquiao fight Tim Bradley three times?

[Nash out]

Because Bradley got the official verdict in the first fight, even though most thought Pac won it 115-113, then Pac won the second fight officially, again, 115-113, and won the 3rd 115-111, 7-5 with 2 knockdowns. Marquez 4 Pacquiao 0.

Tim beat him the first fight. PAC was missing like crazy and Tim boxed beautifully

12 fights between Marquez, Morales, Bradley, and Barrera. Lmao.

Is that laughable those are huge names and to go against them time again was always a huge risk

That's more of a statement of how game and legendary manny is imo

Manny clearly won the second and 3rd fight against marquez

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

Arum was also gonna give Pacquiao a trilogy fight with Jeff Horn. That's why Pacquiao didn't fight him again.

Manny clearly won the second and 3rd fight against marquez

The 3rd fight was the most one-sided of the four. I had it 117-111 Marquez. The first two were close, but I edged Marquez.

One good counter here and there doesn't win you a round especially when the other guys working and landing and you're on the backfoot the whole fight

Poor marquez was always crying about being on the wrong end of judging but was constantly on the back foot never pressing the action even when he was losing clear rounds he was always just looking to counter

If a guys land 3 4 or 5 shots to your one good one ans you don't put them away they're going to win the round

Theyre working harder and making it entertaining

It's only fair bud

Bob set it up that way with that ridiculous scoring in the 1st fight where he made sure the judges robbed Manny.

[IceTrayDaGang]

i believe pac made over $20mil for 1-2.. not sure about 3. but that should explain why he fought him 3x..

Rubbermatch is always common with a 1-1 series. I'm terrified Wilder somehow beats Fury and we get a fourth.
