Manny Pacquiao battled several high-skilled technicians in his vast boxing career, but his three in-ring meetings with Timothy Bradley Jr. rank among the best fights of his career. Fans still appreciate the last contest that was booked to break their 1-1 tie.

The Pacquiao vs Bradley Jr. trilogy took place in 2016. This was the first fight for the Senator after his high-voltage bout against Floyd Mayweather in 2015. Given his resume, ‘Pacman’ was an obvious favorite for his fight against Bradley Jr.

Pacquiao won this fight fair and square with a unanimous decision. He administered a classic beating to ‘Desert Storm’ for 36 minutes to claim a monumental win. The judges scored the contest 116-110, 116-110, and 116-110 in favor of the veteran.

Later, Boxing Scene revealed Compubox’s punch stats for this trilogy. Here, the final punch stat report showed Pacquiao as the ultimate winner as he remained successful in landing his power shots, jabs, and total punches. On the other hand, Bradley Jr. didn’t seem in his element as he wasn’t striking his contemporary well.

For their efforts, both the fighters took home a substantial fight purse from this encounter. While Pacquiao made a guaranteed $20 million for this fight, Bradley Jr. made $4 million.

Unfortunately, the PPV numbers weren’t really impressive. Top Rank boss, Bob Arum, who was ‘Pacman’s promoter, spoke to ESPN about the PPV numbers. He said, “It will be somewhere between those numbers, 400,000 and 500,000. It’s all being added up, but it will be closer to 400,000 than 500,000. Terrible.”

Despite the embarrassing PPV numbers, this fight worked wonders for Pacquiao, who was eager to resurrect his position.
