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

[freedomgo]

As for the politicians… hopefully they can still think straight, now that election season is over.

It’s actually fine if they don’t make it widely available, because that opens up opportunities for others. People who can’t afford the PPV will always find a way to watch the fight live even if it means paying a small fee to someone else. Also, there are still a lot of gamblers who don’t know much about online gambling, or who prefer P2P-style betting. For them, this kind of setup becomes the perfect chance to place some bets while enjoying the fight.

Here's some I want to ask to Pacman, even before the fight begins, one of the questions that will surely be asked about Manny Pacquiao whether he wins or
loses against Mario Barrios is whether this fight will really be his last fight or
if he's truly retiring from the world of boxing, or if he still plans to fight again despite his age.
What do you think happen next to Manny Pacquiao career after this fight?

Do you think Manny will keep fighting in the ring until he's 47 years old? I guess nah. For me sure this will be Manny last fight.

[bhadz]

While age might impact his power but I think that he's still in good shape. He's experienced but it's a fact that we cannot deny that he's in disadvantage because Barrios is younger and just 30 years old. The entire Philippines is going to watch this match. I remember the days that there's zero crime rate whenever he has a match.

That’s still the case now since it’s his comeback fight, and so far, no other boxer in the Philippines has matched Pacman’s popularity. This fight won’t be available via free livestream; it’s a pay-per-view (PPV) event in the Philippines.

The good news is, the price is way cheaper compared to PPV rates in the U.S. or Europe.
As far as I know, it’s less than $10 for a basic subscription.

That's affordable when we can watch it altogether with our family so, a $10 could cover that cost. But I am sure that many will just wait for some replay on it if they cannot afford the PPV through livestreaming websites. I just miss the old days when Pacman is on a fight, it's usually in the free TV and everyone is on their watch and stops from the important things that they do in life. Well, I just remembered the old days when his fights are mostly a talk not just in town but in the national level.

Do you think Manny will keep fighting in the ring until he's 47 years old? I guess nah. For me sure this will be Manny last fight.

We have thought that the last fights of Manny were already last but they were not.

Pacman's retirement will depend on the outcome of this fight. If he losses badly against Barrios i think this is gonna be it unless Floyd Mayweather will come calling him out as this is the fight he all wanted and less risky for his health.

Fight week and still have doubt on who gonna back this weekend hehe. After seeing all the training highlights of Manny, seems that i'm more incline on betting for him to win by decision.

He’s looking really confident this time, so if he loses, it wouldn’t look good if he starts coming up with excuses. I agree with you, he might just retire and call it a career after this.
If he does fight again, it’ll probably be exhibitions, not pro bouts. The younger champs today would likely beat him easily. Still, it all depends on how this fight goes… but I’m honestly hoping for an upset.

I know, I'm also still torn on who is going to bet this weekend, but still a couple of days for us to decide. And I do agree that it will really depends on the outcome of the fight, although if you will have to think of it, if he wins will he defend the belt?

As for Floyd, I don't think that he is wiling to get out of his retirement and fight Manny. He doesn't want his undefeated record to be tarnished. And just like JMM as well, they won't fight Manny because there is also this chance that Manny might beat them.

I don’t really see these two coming back. Mayweather’s already the richest boxer in the world, undefeated, and even beat Pacman, there’s no reason for him to return. As for JMM, he retired even though he still had something left and could’ve made more money, but it’s clear he’s done for good too.

So let’s just enjoy this fight, it might be Manny’s last in the pros. Don’t forget to gather your friends and family, place a small bet, crack open some beers… that’s a perfect weekend for us Filipinos. And even if Manny loses, as long as there’s peace and zero crime that day, it still feels like a win for the country.

From my perspective and experience with the local boxers in my area, and in as much as Manny Pacquiao is fit to fight and can leave up to expectations, by this reason age is just a number at some point in life. I have seen a lot of old people and even stronger and more energetic than a young person. Individual strength isn't really a thing about age; it's based on state of nature. If you're still energetic and strong enough to do what a young person can do, then it's no problem; it all depends on your individual capacity or capability. Manny Pacquiao has the final say.

Even if JMM come out on his retirement he will not choose Manny to be his opponent. he wants to secure the KO  with MP.
FO MayWeather, this guy can go out of the retirement but I doubt he will fight MP too, he will go out for the Money and not for Manny.
He will choose an easier opponent which he can do a ddance showdown. not with MP, never!

This one sure will happen.

We don’t really know for sure… Floyd already beat Pacman, so you’d think he wouldn’t have a reason to fight him again. But when they fought, they made a massive amount of money, one of the biggest paydays in boxing history, if not the biggest.

Floyd’s come out of retirement before, and with Pacman still active, a rematch wouldn’t be too far-fetched. It would definitely be fun to watch, and who knows, maybe they even break the earnings from their first fight.

He maybe fit to fight. But fight against whom? For heaven's sake, he is 46 years old. At this age, the muscles start deteriorating. Reflexes get slowed down. Body's ability to recover from tissue damage and powerful strikes get lower. On top of that, I don't know about his training regimen. The last time he had a decent fight was back in 2021 against Yordenis Ugás (I really don't want to talk about that shit match against Rukiya Anpo). Anyway, I am not making a bet for this match.

Yeah, it’s definitely a concern, but Manny already made history in boxing, now he’s just trying to make another one.

Personally, I’m a fan of his, and I do have some doubts if he can really beat the current champ. But honestly, just seeing him fight again already brings so much joy to us fans. So your concern is totally valid, but we’re staying optimistic. Who knows, maybe Manny can still go toe-to-toe with the champ and pull off the win.

On Ugas vs. Pacman, I speculate that there was a disappointment from Pacman when Errol Spence was announced that he cannot fight because of an injury on his eye. This might have caused Pacman to have less power and motivation, I reckon.

However yes, you might be correct but Pacman has also proven doubters that they are very much wrong about him heheheh.

The biggest concern of Team Pacquiao at the moment is the leg cramps, he suffered that in the Ugas fight that was a factor why he lost that fight. If Pacman would not have this issue against Barrios then he have a high chance that he could pull this off. We should not forget that Barrios is not an A-class fighter that could demolish Pacman, no disrespect to him but that is what i see in him.

[bbc.reporter]

It appears that the arguments and the discussions for this event is only on Pacman and Barrios, however, this card is very much underestimated because there are other big names that will fight before Pacman vs. Barrios!

There is a championship fight between Sebastian Fundora and Tim Tszyu, this is a rematch where Tszyu was defeated before. Brandon Figueroa will fight and Isaac Cruz. I reckon Figueroa and Pitbull Cruz will have the victory for this. However on Fundora vs. Tim Tszyu, this will be difficult to predict but I reckon Tszyu will get his revenge.

Currently Pacquiao is an underdog maybe due to his age. Barrios is currently the title holder and he wouldn't be there if he's not good, what we can weight here is their experience, power and speed and strategy, let's just hope that Pacquiao wouldn't suffer cramps like before so we should see a great match.

I was hoping to see a TKO or KO from either fighter. Do you think this will end in a TKO/KO, or will it go to a decision? It’s hard to tell, and I’m not sure who I should bet on.

Pacman didn’t get knocked out in his last fight, so I’m expecting he’ll survive this one too even if he ends up losing. But winning by KO? That might be asking too much. Maybe the more realistic outcome is Pacman winning by decision, using his speed against the taller but slower champion.

By the way, what are the current betting odds for this fight?

The current odds is 1.35 for Barrios and 3.05 Pacquiao. It’s surprising that the odds gap is still not high considering that Pacquiao is coming out from the retirement while Barrios is a top boxer currently.

I believe Pacquiao no doubt has stamina to last 12 rounds due to his experience and continuous cardio exercise even if he is already inactive on boxing.

I think Pacquiao still feel the power and stamina that’s why he keeps fighting until now.

But the only way he’ll really make big money is if he fights Pacman. And I believe, if he’s coming out of retirement, it’s definitely for the payday. Whether it’s Mayweather or Pacquiao, both can bring in huge money, but Pacman is the better option. The crowd would be behind Pacquiao for sure, especially since they’d want to see him get revenge after that brutal KO loss. That kind of storyline sells big.

[xLays]
