The Pacquiao vs. Bradley rematch press tour began on Thursday in Los Angeles, with each fighter and his team already eager for the bout and confident of success.
The fight will take place Saturday, April 12, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Bradley won a controversial split decision, ending Pacquiao’s Welterweight title reign, in their first fight back in 2012.
Certainly, Pacquiao is no stranger to the bright lights and big stage leading up to a fight like this. He’s of course quite comfortable on set with good pal Jimmy Kimmel, after all. But hopefully Olbermann helps to bring out some of that lighter side as well. Pacquiao’s at his best when he’s laughing and joking and having a good time. We’ll see what the interview and showcase on Olbermann has to offer tonight!
