Why did Pacquiao fight Tim Bradley three times?

[KillaMane26]

Top Rank had limited opponents so it made the most sense otherwise they wouldn't have wanted time settling an unofficial loss. Like Horn

[mxtali]

Because bob had zero opponents left for manny. And he didn’t want to cough up the 20m pac wanted to fight bud

Pillow puncher who's also a righty.....

It's called padding the resume.
Horn didn't get a rematch so it couldn't be to right a robbery

[GrandpaBernard]

Giving Timmeh that gift the first time most pointless robbery in modern boxing

without it they would have fought only twice

anyways the 3rd match was because manny needed more practice before trying Floyd again

Floyd duck bradley that's why pac was obliged to fight bradley just like pac was obliged to fight the other fighter that floyd duck(thurman, margarito, spence)

It's great for Pac s legacy that in a trilogy you can beat Your big rival 3 times. Why didn't Floyd fight Bradley at least once is more confusing?
1 win often do esnt mean much. Don't mean you'd win rematch let alone a third fight.

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

Say it with me: “Filler Fights” (in-house) $$$$$

If I recall Bradley was a mando to Floyd for the WBO. Floyd didn’t even bother and therefore Too Rank had dibs to make Bradley vs PAC. Mainly because Bradley has the right for the title shot. The WBO would bend over to a PAC money event

Absolutely......

if the second maidana fight was close floyd may well have fought him again. the first fight was very close.


regarding the pacquiao trilogy, arum didn't have a lot of other fighters in his stable and i think he fixed the first fight so a rematch and trilogy would be in order. first fight was... sort of close... maybe? if you can't score and you don't know what to look at and you hate manny pacquiao?
