As reported by various sources, WBO welterwe ight champion Tim Bradley will be facing off with Manny Pacquiao on April 12 in Las Vegas in a big rematch on HBO pay per view.

Having defeated Pacquiao via split-decision in June of 2012, Bradley signed an extension with Top Rank ahead of the Pacquiao rematch and recently told BoxingScene.com’s Ryan Burton why it was such a logical choice.

“I am very happy with the deal,” said Bradley. “I am making six million dollars for this fight. I am very familiar with them. I don’t know anyone over there at Golden Boy. I like the familiarity and I have made a lot of money with Top Rank so I didn’t feel any reason to go anywhere else.”
