It's a tune-up that gives Pacquiao another paycheck. He needs an easier fight at his age after the Thurman fight, which was a grueling fight for Pacquiao. Mikey's name makes it a PPV which allows Pacquaio to collect another $10-20M before his retirement fight vs. Spence.
Mikey is definitely easier than Spence, no doubt. But easy? hmmmp. Besides, Manny gains nothing from Mikey should he beat him. If he just wants an easy payday then why not just go for Khan?
