The Pacquiao vs. Broner world championship event will take place Saturday, 一月. 19 在米高梅大花园球馆. 帕奎奥VS. Broner and its co-main event fights will be produced and distributed live by SHOWTIME PPV and presented by Premier Boxing Champions beginning at 9 P.M. ET /下午6时. PT.

 

 

 

Pacquaio is coming off a vintage performance in July where he stopped Argentine slugger and world champion Lucas Matthysse inside seven rounds. 现在, Pacquiao returns to the U.S. in his remarkable fourth reign as welterweight world champion.

Broner说, “I have paid my dues in this sport, and now it’s time for me to get mines. I get more views than everybody when I fight. A lot of people are going to see me pack off Pacquiao into retirement, and without his belt.”
