Pacquiao vs. Bradley 3 Weigh-In: Date, Start Time and Live Stream for Rematch

Nearly a year after his defeat to Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao will step in the ring for what may be the final time Saturday against Timothy Bradley.

Last October, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com the 37-year-old planned to retire, and Pacquiao personally said as much in January. However, boxing is littered with stars who hanged up their gloves only to chase one more big payday.

Until Pacquiao reveals any plans to return, though, fans will have to assume his battle with Bradley will be the conclusion of a legendary career. The two will have their final weigh-ins on Friday afternoon in Las Vegas. Below is the viewing information for the weigh-in, followed by a brief preview for what is technically the rubber match between the two fighters.

Fight Preview

Bradley won his first meeting with Pacquiao in June 2012, but the result was contentious to say the least. The World Boxing Organization commissioned five independent judges to review the fight, and they determined Pacquiao to be the winner, going against what was a split-decision victory for Bradley.

Pac-Man left little doubt in their second fight in April 2014, outclassing his opponent from start to finish. Despite the fact he arguably lost both of their previous fights, Bradley is optimistic he can send a defeated Pacquiao into retirement.

"I think it's different now, I honestly do," he said in January, per Andrew L. John of the Desert Sun. "I think this fight will definitely be different than the first two altercations that we've had. That's all I can tell you. I think it'll be a great fight."

Bradley's confidence may not be misplaced. Much has changed since their last fight.

For one, being two years older means a lot more for Pacquiao than it does Bradley. The list of great boxers who continued to fight at a supremely high level at 37 isn't very long. Unlike Mayweather, Pacquiao doesn't possess a style that graces well with age.

His skills started diminishing a few years ago. This will also be his first fight since undergoing surgery to repair a torn right rotator cuff.

The loss of punching power is particularly concerning for Pacquiao given his aggressive nature. Whereas that aggression made Pac-Man a force of nature in his prime, it could become a liability when he isn't able to inflict serious damage.

Bradley is also a different fighter than he was in 2014. He's coming off impressive wins over Jessie Vargas and Brandon Rios in his last two fights, and bringing on Teddy Atlas as his trainer helped him immensely.

In September 2015, ESPN.com's Dan Rafael wrote how Atlas met with Bradley a day after calling Leo Santa Cruz's August fight with Abner Mares in order to break down some of Bradley's past fights. Atlas had already prepared eight pages of what Bradley had done right and wrong in the ring.

"He showed me things that I've never seen before, that I never knew before," said Bradley. "And he brought eight pages of notes with him. Teddy's the type of guy who does his homework. And he has a plan. I know why I got hit with that shot (by Vargas) and I know what I got to do."

Atlas is also so adept at knowing how to get his fighter focused in the ring. His speech to Bradley during the Rios fight is a thing of beauty, via HBOboxing:

Befitting his style, Atlas compared fighting Pacquiao to a seeing a Ferris wheel as a kid, per Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole. The Ferris wheel looks tall and imposing until you ride it. Then, the more and more you ride it, the less scared of it you become.

Iole explained how that ties in to Saturday's fight:

"

The Ferris wheel, in Bradley's case, was his perception of Pacquiao. When Bradley first fought Pacquiao, Pacquiao was near the peak of his powers, a transcendent star in every way.

Day after day, Bradley was asked how he’d deal with Pacquiao's speed, with his power and his overall boxing ability.

The Ferris wheel metaphor is Atlas' way of saying that Bradley has come to understand that Pacquiao, while an elite fighter, has his own flaws and weaknesses and is not some mythological figure.

"

According to Odds Shark, Bradley is the underdog, which isn't all that surprising given how his fights against Pacquiao unfolded. Don't be surprised, though, if the tables turn in Sin City this weekend.

Pacquiao has never been more vulnerable, and Bradley has never looked this good in the ring.
