Why This Fight Matters For Manny Pacquiao?

This bout marks Pacquiao’s attempt to become the oldest welterweight champion in boxing history. He retired after his 2021 loss to Yordenis Ugas, but the competitive fire clearly remains. For Barrios, a win over Pacquiao would cement his standing as a top-tier welterweight and a legitimate star in his own right.

While critics have questioned Pacquiao’s age and conditioning, fans are eager to see if the eight-division champion can turn back the clock one more time. Whether you’re tuning in for nostalgia or title implications, this is an event that commands global attention.
