[Boxing] Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao WBC Welterweight Title - July 19

[xLays]

ZERO crime in our country when Manny is fight in the world of champion! (RING)

That might’ve been true before, but not anymore. But yes Manny still has that massive influence he’s a legend, no doubt. But let’s be real, he shouldn't have entered politics. If he really wanted to help people, he could’ve done that without becoming a senator or running for president.

Now, I just hope politics doesn’t become reason or distraction if he loses this fight. Of course, we all want Manny to win it’s still pride for the Philippines. But at his age, it’s risky.
He’s not the same as he was in his prime, and Barrios isn’t a joke either.

Also curious how much Manny is getting paid for this match. Looks like he's just trying to recover what he spent during his previous Senate campaign. lol

Manny has proven that, so perhaps it will still be in effect despite what happen to him in the election. And during his career in politics, Manny has still the hype, but since then he has retired, his politician affiliation might have something to do with him losing the election despite his popularity in the country.

Now, I just hope politics doesn’t become reason or distraction if he loses this fight. Of course, we all want Manny to win it’s still pride for the Philippines. But at his age, it’s risky.

It shouldn't, he is no longer in the office or big responsibility that can distract him from training in this fight 100%. Although stage might still be a factor for him, but he said that he keep his body active and so with just his regular 8 weeks of training, his body might be back to where it used to be. He is still the A-side in this fight, so most likely he will get millions here and yeah, maybe it can cover at least 200 million Philippine Peso on what he spent on his campaign trail for the seat in the Senate of the Philippines.

There might be some speculations going around out there, but as of right now, there is no official announcement about it. We might get news about it as the fight comes closer.

If I remember one of his fight, against Broner, he was assured to get $10 million plus PPV numbers. So that could be similar here or higher.  Or if we give conservative estimates, could be around $5 million and up.

So safe to say that with that kind of money, Manny could make a lot in his comeback fight and as others might have speculated, he lost the election so most likely he can cover it up with just one fight of his. And then if he won, then for sure his stock will continue to go up in the next fight. So that is the thing with Manny here, he is still love by everyone and his fans are willing to pay high prices live gate or in PPV.

Maybe, we just hope that they will reveal how much Manny will get. But let's just assumed that it he won't make a big comeback if the money in not attractive to him. Although he said that boxing is his passion, we have to think that it's the one thing that really get him out and his family from poverty.

And this could still be the biggest fight of the year and it could be in the top 3 as far as revenue goes as we know that Pacquiao still has a lot of fans.

Even if he is a huge underdog here, I think there will still be some of us here that would rather bet on him.

I don't know if you have seen this video,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wboMDwDEVY4

It's one channel that I followed in terms of boxing and their video are really great and you know that they really work hard for it.

And with that, yeah, the hype is real, there are tons of videos on Manny's comeback fight and everyone should really be excited although there could be health concern for the 46 year old. But I think he will be ok win or lose in this fight.

The comparison to great players in other sports similar Tom Brady is very much real and very valid, I reckon. We cannot underestimate the Pacman's chance to win this fight as the challenger. Also, what is Pacman's wins vs. losses as the challenger? We can be certain that there are more wins because he is very much motivated in these fights as the challenger.

Also, everyone should be very much aware that Barrios has lost to a smaller boxer before against the scammer Tank. This is also a loss against a southpoe.

Manny will get his money back wasted on his campaign! but what will happen if PACman wins the game.
There wil be another fight with bigger figure.
I watch mny on his training videos. he is doing well and i hope he cn make it

I want to see another belt for him!

Yes, for sure if he wins then he will have to defend it and whoever will he going to face, then it's another great opportunity for him to make a lot of money and so does his next opponent as he is known to be the cash cow and every fighter will have his sweepstakes here because they will get the biggest paycheck of their career, and most likely this is what Barrios will get.

But in case that Manny loses, then it will really be the end of the road for the legendary boxer. No need to force his himself to fight again, he needs to retire for good. So this fight could be his last for all we know.

That was at 140 lbs when Barrios lost to Tank, and he was relatively unknown that time. And maybe he had improved a lot and his confidence is very high as Barrios is now a champion. But I do give some of your arguments that maybe Barrios will have a hard time fighting a smaller opponent and that's why he lost to Davis.

Both will be motivated though to win here, but I do think that the fans wanted Manny Pacquiao to win and he could be the sentimental favorite although the odds doesn't reflect that as odd makers favor the young Barrios.

If Manny wins, he will make history again as the oldest returning champion in the welterweight division. He will also have the option to defend his title against a mandatory challenger, which is favorable for him since most mandatory challengers are not particularly dangerous opponents.

As for the money that he will receive on this fight, they are mum to it but definitely it is worth for Manny to take.

He wont be called a champion or achieve up that title for nothing if he still stuck with that on which its understandable that he had already overcome those and I do agree with that confidence too. I do consider out that analysis about on being small on which there's a point with that and if this is the case then he would definitely be having some headache on fighting Pacquiao but as part of his weakness then for sure he had already that prepared for that basing up on experience.

In regarding about on the odds then if Barrios is the favorite then for those who are die hard fans of Pacquiao and turned out to be some epic comeback then that would be a considerable easy win.
People will be normally be looking upon on the age but Barrios shouldnt be that confident yet Pacquiao had made out some intense preparation as usual on making up some conditioning on his body
or just simply the typical way. Is it some sort of short preparation?

Class of 2025, wow, look at the fans, fellow boxers, chanting his name and giving him a standing ovation. Jim Lampley even gave a emotional speech as well.

You can find a lot of videos in Youtube now as it is one of the most search word.

And then there are videos of him and the fans taking picture with the GOAT and you can see the respect.

He really deserves the recognition. As he said, “he moved up in weight to test his limits, not just to protect his record.” That’s something boxers today should try to follow, they shouldn’t treat it purely as a business where they only pick opponents they think they can beat just to stay undefeated. Manny is truly remarkable. Honestly, I don’t see any boxers today who are like him.

His record is going to stood the test of time. There have a lot of arguments between him and Floyd's 50-0 record to Manny's 8 division champ. But the experts says that Manny's record is very hard to do as compare to Floyd. Anyone right now can fight and be 60-0 by fighting not so good boxer.

But Manny's moving up in weight and beating bigger guys? We might not see that in boxing for many years. And yes, he had like the charisma that's why a lot of fans are attractive to him because he is real and down to earth unlike boxers of today's generation which is arrogant and brandish.

[joeperry]

Different opponent, different expectations, right? Yeah, Pacman's a bit older now, probably needs more ice packs than punches thrown these days but I just can't delete from my brain how amazing he used to be in the ring. So even if his chances might be slimmer, I'm still cheering and hoping he'll pull off another legendary win and become champion again.

Yes you are right, a lot of people are looking forward on this comeback and who knows, he might win not on KO but in decision but who know what can happen, right? Many people doubt that Manny will lose to Thurman and turns out Many would be the first boxer to Knockdown (get into his knees) Thurman and became the oldest WBC Welterweight Title holder, he might beat his own record.

Anyway, I'm just wondering if Manny won this match, do you think he would still continue defending it/continue fighting in professional matches against younger opponents considering his age or this will be a one time match only?

Hard to say something about that he could win since as we look at Mario Barrios he is a tough guy to beat. Also he's young and definitely on his prime, he won't became a champion if he's nobody in boxing scene.

Many people give favor for Barrios to win this fight and its understandable since Pacquaio is coming from long rest and been busy on politics on Philippines.

But well he's Pacquaio after all and we just hope that there's no rusty movement and we see him doing good in this fight.

There’s no confirmed information yet about how much Manny will make. The last time he was in a championship fight where the purse was public was against Thurman, and he was guaranteed around $20 million for that one, plus, he was the favorite to win. This time, though, it’s a comeback fight and he’s a heavy underdog, so it’ll probably be less than $20 million. Maybe at least $10 million, but that’s still a huge amount of money.

[Sanitough]

Anyway, I'm just wondering if Manny won this match, do you think he would still continue defending it/continue fighting in professional matches against younger opponents considering his age or this will be a one time match only?

Honestly, it’s hard to bet on him now since he’s not getting any younger, or let’s just say, he’s already old. There’s a reason why the bookies are offering odds of 3+ for him to win it’s because he’s really unlikely to pull it off. But if you’re a true Manny fan, there’s nothing wrong with putting a small bet on him, just for the fun of it while watching the fight. If you lose, just move on.

But if you want to be more serious and don’t want to bet directly against Manny, you could always go for the over/under on the total rounds instead.

This I think is what everyone is eager to know. Not just him but also how much Mario Barrios is going to make on this match.

And speaking of Thurman, I hope that Barrios is going to take that comment he's given that the fists of Pacquiao were like thrown rocks to his face.

If Pacquiao makes $20M or even $10M, that's still a lot of cash for some match that he's seeking to have. A very huge payday.

Hmmm.. Seems like I'm familiar into this one on which I do remember Inoue or something that this one fits out to him about weight conditions or trying out to step up and chasing up higher weight divisions on which I do definitely agree into this word. When it comes on upscaling up your weight just to chase up on a certain fight and doesnt nitpick up into your opponents on which this do really shows a real fighter on which it isnt feared into those opponents that have much weight than him and since he wanted to pursue out then he chose up to add weight and thats indeed a pure heart of a boxer and this is why we cant be able to blame into those fans on appreciating and seeing him to be the greatest or legendary boxer that we do all know. Its true in some or most saying that he dont need to prove himself into the public or fans about his boxing on which its been long time proven but he had decided to make out some comeback inside the canvass and shows once again that he can still pull it through.

Lets just hope that this testing up his limits wont be that ending up into some health hazard or could affect in overall on which considering that his age is already on that retirement level on which body isnt something that getting in line with it or performance deteriorate but i do agree on what Marquez said about Pacquiaos comeback.

“If Pacquiao feels good, no shoulder, knee, or foot injuries, and he’s perfectly fine – let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. Let’s see what kind of fight he has to put on against Mario Barrios,” Marquez said. “Will he be aggressive? Will he rely on his power? Because power is the last thing a fighter loses. Let’s give the benefit of doubt to a historic fighter. What matters is the integrity of the fighter. Pacquiao still hits hard. Let’s see how Barrios handles that.”
