Manny Pacquiao vs Tim Bradley 3 set for April 9 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas

Despite his recent loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao's next fight still held some intrigue.

Former training partner Amir Khan seemed an obvious choice for an opponent, while "Bud"-ing superstar Terence Crawford presented another appealing option. The two of them, who are presently competing in the upper echelons of the welterweight and junior welterweight divisions, respectively, each presented unique style matchups for the Filipino dynamo and would likely make for entertaining fights.

Instead, we're getting a rubber match nobody wanted.

Just spoke to Arum. Pac-Bradley 3 is set. 4/9 MGM on HBO PPV.
