Tickets to the third fight between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley slated on April 9 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas will be sold starting Friday ranging from $1,204 to the cheapest at $154.

The world title bout is expected to be a tough sell given that Pacquiao had practically beaten Bradley twice, including their first meeting in 2012 where the American champion scored a highly-disputed split-decision win.

Pacquiao didn’t leave anything to chance the second time he met with Bradley in 2014 as he picked up a one-sided victory.

In what could be his farewell fight, the 37-year-old Pacquiao vowed to put on a show and give everything he has left.

“I look forward to my battle with Timothy Bradley on April 9 and giving boxing fans a fight they will always remember,” said Pacquiao in an interview on toprank.com. “This fight has a very special meaning to me and I will pour every ounce of my being — physically, emotionally and spiritually — into preparing for Bradley.”
