Pacquiao, Bradley begin hype for rematch

MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley found themselves in the same room again as they start drumming up their April 12 rematch via a two-city US media tour.

Both fighters met each other once again during a commercial shoot in Beverly Hills. They are also scheduled to hold press conferences in Los Angeles on Tuesday (Wednesday Manila time) and New York on Thursday (Friday here).

Pacquiao, who lost in their first fight two years ago, opened as a slim 2-1 favorite over Bradley at the Las Vegas betting lines the other day. He has vowed to avenge that loss and regain the WBO welterweight title that Bradley currently holds.

Bradley, for his part, is raring to prove that his win over Pacquiao was no fluke.

Pacquiao-Bradley 2 will be staged at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
