Manny Pacquiao vs Mario Barrios.

[electronicash]

there is not much update for this news though.
seen boxing influencers covering this idea that WBC is very much interested to make this happen on December 2024. but there is no real date nor a venue for this to take place.

if they are up to make money i think allowing this to be endorsed by the Saudi prince would be enough to pay large sum for Pacquiao and Barrios. they can gather support from the boxing community and at the same time making Pacquiao's come back the grandest.

I've read about this but Manny should get fast Anpon first in their exhibition fight and if Manny shows a good performance then the fight against Barrios will evoke interest.

Barrios is a good fighter but he cannot be considered an exceptional fighter, Manny has a good chance of beating this young kid if he uses his experience and if he still has it, I would like to judge the fight after the Pacquiao - Anpo fight.

It could be very different though, this is a exhibition match and fans wanted to get entertain and get the most money out of it. So Manny the entertainer will show up in this fight and it might go to the distance.

Yes, a good fighter but that not elite and so Manny will be tested here but with his ton of experienced and he can throw that punch, he has a huge advantage of him and I wouldn't be surprise if Manny pulls a big win again, another accomplishment in his career.

It's hard to take the boxer out of Manny he still believes he can keep up he may win against Barrios and that's another title for him that will make him continue boxing until he is beaten badly to retirement.
We all want Manny to enjoy his retirement he has the money the popularity and he has a career in politics, he should just live a quiet life, but like I said it's hard to take the boxer out of money until one boxer takes it away from him.

Yeah, Manny enjoys the limelight so much so it is very hard for him to leave boxing for good. About Marrio Barrios, i do think that Ugas and him is more of the same in terms of talent so that is why i'm thinking that Manny might have a hard time coping up with the young boxer. This is a 12 round fight and at this stage, i just hope that Manny could sustain and go for the whole twelve rounds.

Not just in boxing, but I think in any sports, it's hard to quit specially at one time you are one of the best, like Tom Brady. So this GOAT athlete still believed that they have one good fight in them or they can still conquer their sports and still win against those young guys.

And probably that's what in Manny's mind, he thinks that Barrios could be a taylor fit for him and that Mario's style can specially be offset by Manny's speed and experience and his punching power.

Barrios is beatable that is why Pacquiao made that arrangement after the Tank fight, Barrios weaknesses are exposed but Manny is not Tank he will need to make use of his power and skill and if he still has it he can easily beat Barrios but if age comes to play, Barrios could be the boxer that can finally retire Manny.

Right, still careful matchmaking more than ever for Manny, as we all know that he is no longer in his prime so he has to carefully choose his opponents, although that is the blue print that him and Top Rank has done throughout his career.

So Barrios is beatable at any angle, unless Manny shows that he can no longer fight and put punches in bunch just like before. But the good gauge is against the Japanese that he will fought for a exhibition fights. We will see Manny still possesses that hunger in him to win and please his fans.

I do hope that Manny Pacquaio still has it to defeat a boxer who is still at his peak because the way i saw it, Manny though he won but he was badly beaten in the Thurman fight. If not for that knockdown, he could have lost that fight. Then the Ugas fight came where we can see aged Manny showing up. We just wait and see how he performs on this exhibition fight as they said that this is the gauge whether he fight Barrios or not.

[Kemarit]

There are a lot of videos of Manny Pacquaio circulating in social media, other says that it was due to Manny training for Mario Barrios. But I will say that he is on the gym right now because he will have a exhibition fight in Japan.

So right now, this is just pure speculation, but as we can see, we could be seeing Manny again in the pro ranks if he wanted to and by the looks of his training video, for me he can still pull that trigger and if this fight happens, chances are good base on what I see on the training footage that he can beat Barrios despite his age.

[PX-Z]

I still remember when we have doubts when Pacquiao was fighting Keith Thurman at the age of around 40 I think (correct me please). We know how it ends. Same when he fought Matthysse. We know how it ends.

That's how he fight on his early 40s. Now we should see this future fight on the last fight of pacman and ugas. Buboy mentioned that pacman suffer cramps on that fight, with current pacman's age, no doubt it may happen again if he enter on that ring again.

Filipino fans of Pacquaio I think are hopeful to see him fight and win a real fight. These exhibition fights are like tuneup fights for him. It wouldn't be easy at his age but I would also like a real fight that matters for boxing.

Whether he wins or not, it will be a good fight because its not an exhibition. And thats what Pacquiao is used to.

I'm doubtful that this fight will push through as no contracts has been signed yet. Pacman is fighting an exhibition bout this Saturday and this will be the gauge if he still has it to bet a legit boxer like Mario Barrios. But even if he is impressive against Anpo, he will be risking his health against a young Barrios so better for him to retire from boxing for good and if he missed boxing, he could always fight an exhibition against MMA fighters.
