LAS VEGAS, NV -- Early today, the main event gladiators for Saturday?s supposed big fight came to the MGM for the traditional ?Arrival? day.
Tim Bradley being the side B fighter came in first with his Team followed by Manny Pacquiao about 45 minutes later.
Bradley came in looking dapper in a tie-less blue sports jacket appearing like he was set to go to a business meeting while Pacquiao in a red Team jacket looking ready to rumble.
Based on the number of folks that usually crowd the MGM Grand lobby on occasions like these, fans interest on the fight appears to be very low compared to the last time Pacquiao was here a year ago when one needs to have credentials or a room key to access the MGM lobby.
All together, the Pacquiao and the Bradley fans accounted for, there were less than 300 people that showed up. But as usual, the die-hard Pacquiao fans to their credit, were there.

?Talagang maaasahan mo sila,? (You can really rely on them) a guy with a Pinoy flag shirt was heard to say. It goes without saying they out numbered the supposedly ?Bradley fans?. But that is nothing new. Bradley ever since does not have a history of having hordes of fans coming for him alone.
But then again, it?s early in the week. Perhaps by fight day on Saturday, more will show up to fill the seats at the MGM Grand Arena.
?Konti lang tao today? (Only few folks showed up today), a Pinoy observer said to me
Indeed!
