Saturday, April 12, 2014, Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley engage in a rematch of their highly-controversial bout from June 2012 in which Bradley walked away with a questionable decision and the WBO Welterweight title.
Both men have promised to do everything in their power to convince the judges and viewing public who is the better fighter.
But what would a great championship prize fight be without some spirits mixed in?
I give you The Official Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II Drink Game. Enjoy!
List of Drinks
• Hennessy
• Rum
• Tequila
• Guinness
• Irish Whisky
• Bailey’s Irish Cream
• Beer of your choice
All Eyes on Manny Pacquiao
If Jim Lampley—and only Lampley—says these five words in Round 1, you must finish a beer of your choosing by the end of the round.
Lamps is notoriously pro-Pacquiao and even though all eyes will be on both men—and their socks—chances are he may give more importance to the Filipino icon on fight night.
Orthodox – Southpaw

Anytime any one of HBO’s commentators mention “orthodox vs. southpaw” you must take a shot of rum.
Chances are the vital comparison of orthodox and southpaw fighters will come up more than once on fight night so choose a fruity rum flavor if you’re faint of heart.
Down Goes Pacquiao

Because chances are very slim that we’ll hear this call on Saturday night, if you hear this, take a big boy drink aka an Irish Cab Bomb!
If you don’t know what a car bomb is, please click here.
If you picked Pacquiao to knock Bradley down, make it two car bombs.
That’s right, I said it, two car bombs.
Lost That Killer Instinct
Manny Pacquiao’s “fire” and “killer instinct” have been a hot topic ever since this fight was announced.
Timothy Bradley hasn’t missed an opportunity to remind people that Pacquiao hasn’t had a knockout since 2009 against Miguel Cotto.
Chances are high that we will hear this a few times on fight night so take a shot of rum when you hear it—again make it fruity rum if you must.
Hard Left Hand by Pacquiao
Anytime Jim Lampley pulls this favorite out of his hat—which can be heard at the 22 second mark of this video—drink a shot of Hennessey.
If by chance that “hard left hand” knocks Timothy Bradley down, take two shots of Henny!

If Manny Pacquiao is able to emphatically defeat Timothy Bradley, whether it is by knockout or decision, you can bet someone will be itching to utter these words.
Take a shot of your favorite Tequila if any commentator says “Manny Pacquiao is Back.”
Pacquiao vs. Mayweather

If Manny Pacquiao does come out on top, chances are that Floyd Mayweather’s name will come up in the post-fight interview with Max Kellerman.
What better way to finish off the night than with another Irish Car Bomb.
And–as an added bonus–if Pacquiao calls Mayweather a piece of shit like Sergey Kovalev did to Adonis Stevenson, feel free to drink everything on this list at once.
Enjoy!
