Pacquiao still holds a title, though the WBA regular belt is not considered a real world championship. At 40 years old, he’s still in fantastic shape and has an enormous fanbase. Pacquiao is still one of the fighters in the sport who can command a significant audience, no matter who he’s facing.

In this bout, Pacquiao isn’t the only participant drawing interest. Loved and loathed by many in the boxing community, Broner is a draw. He’s also at an entirely different point of his career than his opponent.

Broner is fighting the label of an underachiever, but a win over Pacquiao would help to squash some of the criticism. There’s also talk that the winner will get an opportunity to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. later this year.

The fights that will precede Pacquiao-Broner are solid. Undefeated lightweight George Kambosos Jr. will be in action against Rey Perez. Jhack Tepora will face Hugo Ruiz with the WBA interim featherweight title on the line.

Rau’shee Warren will fight Nordine Oubaali for the vacant WBC bantamweight belt, and in the co-main event, light heavyweights Badou Jack and Marcus Browne will clash.
