    Can someone explain why Pacquiao chose Marquez when he can easily beat Bradley?!! (aside from money)

    Money + Legacy. Both guys want an emphatic win.

    Personally I do think Manny beat Bradley, however I don't think he beats Bradley easily especially if Bradley doesn't have injured ankles.

    The only reason I think Manny picked Marquez is MONEY!

    Officially Pacquiao has 2 wins over Marquez. I really dont think they need another fight. If Marquez wins its still 2 to 1. He should fight bradley instead.

    I don't think it does anything for Pacquiao legacy wise as its gone on so long.

    It was quite clearly money which is why they preferred Cotto.

    Means more for his legacy if he finally beats JMM convincingly, as opposed to Bradley who isn't a draw and doesn't/won't motivate Pac the way JMM would.

    Money and because his team and him believes he lost the 3rd fight.

    Really it does nothing for his legacy at this stage in his career, he has all the advantages, age, weight, judges in Bob's pocket etc etc.

    Whatever happens people will always remember Marquez was the one opponent Pacquiao could never overcome.

    If he really believed he beat him 2 times he would never rematch him.

    Marquez believes he beat Pacquiao 3X, yet has chased and chased for a rematch.

    The difference is Marquez never got the official decision. Pacquiao did.

    The fact is almost every fan of boxing agrees that Marquez won at least 2 out of the 3 encounters (especially the last fight)

    Yep a high reward win or lose for Pacquiao but a very very high risk. I dont think Pacquiao needs to fight Marquez for the fourth time. He can fight bradley and redeem himself. Then Mayweather. Then retire.

    He has already explained this. He wants to see the rightful thing happen and that is, the rightful winner of the fight has their hand raised.

    He felt he scored a draw in the first fight and won the last 2.

    The last fight he dominated Manny though.
