MANILA, Philippines — Manny Pacquiao is assured of a rematch clause in the unfortunate event that he gets upset by Tim Bradley on June 9 in Las Vegas, Top Rank big boss Bob Arum told the Bulletin.
Arum has penciled Nov. 10 as the date for that fight, a sign that Pacquiao is not looking past the unbeaten American fighter.
?This is the reason why I haven?t talked about any other fight with Manny other than this upcoming fight with Bradley,? said Arum.
Arum checked on Bradley?s preparation in the desert city of Indio, California, and was awestruck by Bradley?s confidence level and demeanor.
Bradley knows what is in store for him if he wins against the heavily-favored Pacquiao before an expected huge crowd at the MGM Grand.
?He is getting paid well in this fight and it?ll take care of his children,? noted the 80-year-old Arum.
?And if he wins and fights Pacquiao in a rematch, the money he?s getting will take care of his grandchildren.?
Bradley is so pumped up that he appeared ready to rumble when a busload of reporters and photographers converged to see him work out on Thursday.
?I am not in this fight to survive and collect a paycheck,? said Bradley, a 3-1 underdog.
Bradley is getting the biggest purse of his career and is said to be guaranteed $5 million, a figure that is five times more than his previous best paycheck.
Pacquiao is assured of at least $26 million and should get more once the pay-per-view sales is computed.
