MANILA, Philippines — Before both fighters exchange swings and blows, they first have to set the scales.
According to East Side Boxing, eight-division World Champion Manny Pacquiao and World Boxing Organization Welterweight Champion Timothy Bradley are set to tip the scales on Saturday (Philippine time) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Sports broadcaster Jim Lampley would host the weigh-in program that would be the precursor to the WBO Welterweight title bout.
On their previous weigh-in in 2012, both Pacquiao, then the champion, and Bradley tipped the welterweight limit of 147 pounds.
