THE HONORABLE MANNY PACQUIAO (54-3-2, 38 KOs) is boxing's biggest and brightest star.  An Eight-Division World Champion, Manny is not only recognized by most observers as the best fighter at any weight in the ring today - the best "Pound for Pound" - but is also considered one of the sport's all-time greats. In 2010, Manny was elected Congressman in the Sarangani province in the Philippines. His "rags to riches" story is spectacular - a scrawny 14 year-old kid living on the streets of Manila goes on to become one of the world's most recognizable and revered athletes.

           The undefeated Palm Springs, California native and WBO Junior Welterweight Champion (28-0, 12 KOs) TIMOTHY “DESERT STORM” BRADLEY is coming off an eighth-round TKO win against former WBA super featherweight and WBC lightweight world champion Joel Casamayor in his last fight on November 12, 2011.  With consistently impressive performances and decisive wins in recent fights, most observers now consider Timothy to be the top 140-pounder in the world.

           The three-bout pay-per-view undercard before the main fight will feature undefeated No. 1 welterweight contender MIKE "MJ" JONES battling two-time world champion and current No. 2 contender RANDALL "The Knockout King" BAILEY for the vacant International Boxing Federation (IBF) welterweight title; undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) super bantamweight champion GUILLERMO "El Chacal" RIGONDEAUX defending his title against world-rated TEON "The Technician" KENNEDY; and five-division world champion and Méxican icon JORGE "Travieso" ARCE, in his first fight in a Las Vegas ring in over one year, taking on Puerto Rican knockout artist JESUS ROJAS in a 10-round junior featherweight fight.

          "The fight card will be a treat for all boxing fans," said Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum.  "These will be great high-action fights as will be our main event with world champions Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley.”
