Mario Barrios Fight Card Streaming Cost: $79.95 rios said of his opponent. 'It's hard to be like, 'Man, I'm about to square up with him for my title.' But I am going in there with bad intentions. I am trying to get him out of there.' Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KOs) is the No. 3 ranked 147-pounder according to ESPN. Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao attends the press conference ahead of his July 19 WBC welterweight ... More title fight against Mexican-US boxer Mario Barrios at the NOVO at L.A. Live in Los Angeles on June 3, 2025. Manny Pacquiao on June 3 shrugged off concerns about his decision to return to boxing at the age of 46 as he prepares for next month's world welterweight title comeback against Mario Barrios. The charismatic Filipino boxing icon stunned the sports world last month after announcing he would take on World Boxing Council (WBC) champion Barrios on July 19 in Las Vegas, four years after his last fight ended in a disappointing defeat. (Photo by Patrick T. Fallon / AFP) (Photo by PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images) ESPN reported on Pacquiao coming out of retirement in early May. The former eight-division boxing champion confirmed his return on Instagram, writing, 'On July 19, I return to the ring to face WBC Welterweight Champion Mario Barrios at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Let's make history! #TeamPacquiao 🇵🇭' The 46-year-old Pacquiao last fought in August 2021 when he dropped a unanimous decision to Yordenis Ugas for the WBA welterweight championship. Not long after that setback, Pacquiao announced his retirement. "Even me, I'm amazed at what I have done," Pacquiao said in a video he posted on social media. "The only boxer to hold world titles in four different decades and became the oldest boxer to win a world welterweight title, an amazing accomplishment." "It is difficult for me to accept that my time as a boxer is over," he added. "Today, I am announcing my retirement. I never thought that this day would come. As I hang up my boxing gloves, I would like to thank the whole world, especially the Filipino people, for supporting Manny Pacquiao." Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) was the No. 6 ranked welterweight, according to ESPN, when he retired. He is currently unranked. "Goodbye, boxing. Thank you for changing my life," Pacquiao added. "You gave me the chance to find a way out of poverty. Because of you, I was able to inspire people all over the world. Because of you, I have been given the courage to change more life. "I will never forget what I have done and accomplished in my life. I can't imagine that I have just heard the final bell." Manny Pacquiao Vs. Mario Barrios Breakdown Manny Pacquiao is 46. Couple that with his inactivity, and no one should expect to see the fighter they remember him being in his heyday when he steps into the ring on Saturday. The question facing Pacquiao is whether the athleticism that helped him in his younger days can still assist him in competition in 2025. Pacquiao's reflexes, speed, and natural abilities helped mask some of the gaps in his game when he was racking up titles in eight divisions. Pacquiao displayed remarkable speed in his punches and footwork, which allowed him to move in and out of range with ease, while also landing blows from odd angles as his foes looked to react to Pacquiao's movement. In his most recent fight, an August 2024 exhibition against kickboxer Rukiya Anpo, Pacquiao displayed slower movement and reflexes, which put him off balance and allowed his opponent to land while Pacquiao looked to recover his stance. At best, the slip in Pacquiao's athleticism will remain where it was during that three-round affair. Don't expect the best-case scenario on Saturday. Mario Barrios is 30 and in his prime. If Pacquiao has declined significantly in his athleticism, which should be apparent early in this matchup, then Barrios must exploit Pacquiao's pressure and tendency to push forward. If Barrios can pick up the timing of his aging opponent's attacks, he should be able to counter effectively and step back out of range before Pacquiao can regain his footing and respond. Barrios's height and reach advantages in this fight will also help him when it comes to countering Pacquiao's attacks. If Barrios can use his jab to keep Pacquiao and force him to work to get into range, that will also help Barrios when it comes to working effective counters. Sebastian Fundora Vs. Tim Tszyu 2 US boxer Sebastian Fundora speaks during the press conference ahead of his July 19 WBC super ... More welterweight title fight against Australian boxer Tim Tszyu at the NOVO at L.A. Live in Los Angeles on June 3, 2025. (Photo by Patrick T. Fallon / AFP) (Photo by PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images) Sebastian Fundora (22-1-1 with 14 knockouts) opened his boxing career on a 18-0-1 run before he got the opportunity to fight for a title. In April 2022, Fundora faced Erickson Lubin for the vacant WBC interim light middleweight belt. Fundora won that fight by stoppage in the ninth round. Fundora defended his belt in October 2022 with a unanimous decision win over Carlos Ocampo. His title run ended in April 2023 when Brian Mendoza knocked out Fundora in the early moments of the seventh round of their matchup. Fundora returned to the ring nearly a year later to face Tim Tszyu at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in the main event of a PBC card. Tszyu's WBO junior middleweight title was on the line as well as the vacant WBC strap Fundora won that fight via split decision, scoring an upset split decision (112-116, 116-112, 115-113). Fundora defended his titles in March of this year, knocking out Chordale Booker in the fourth round at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. The WBO stripped Fundora of his belt when he elected to face Tszyu in a rematch instead of WBO mandatory challenger Xander Zayas. ESPN has Fundora ranked as the No. 3 junior middleweight behind Terence Crawford and Vergil Ortiz Jr. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 03: Tim Tszyu speaks prior to his WBC super welterweight rematch ... More fight versus Sebastian Fundora at The NOVO at L.A. Live on June 03, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) Tim Tszyu (25-2 with 18 KOs) moved to 22-0 in March 2023 when he knocked out Tony Harrison to become the interim WBO junior middleweight champion. He was elevated to full champ when Jermell Charlo faced Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight title in September 2023. In his first title defense, Tszyu defeated Mendoza via unanimous decision in Australia in October 2023. Tszyu's next defense was his bloody bout against Fundora. When Tszyu returned to action in October 2024 it was against IBF junior middleweight champ Bakhram Murtazaliev, who knocked Tszyu down four times before Tszyu's corner threw in the towel. That loss had many wondering if Tszyu could get back to a title fight. However, an April 2025 TKO victory over Joseph Spencer put Tszyu back in the title fight conversation. ESPN has Tszyu ranked at No. 6 at 154 pounds. We will have more on the Manny Pacquiao Vs. Mario Barrios as fight night nears.

Manny Pacquiao's next fight: 46-year-old ‘Pacman' returns for title fight this weekend
The Manny Pacquiao next fight news has actually arrived, and to the surprise of boxing fans, the 46-year-old legend is set for a WBC title fight this weekend. Who could Manny Pacquiao's next fight be against? Pacquiao has not fought in an official boxing bout since his August 2021 loss to Yordenis Ugas. However, after a pair of exhibition fights, the Filipino icon will return to serious action on July 19 when he takes on WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios. Advertisement How to watch Pacquiao vs Barrios this Saturday Pacquiao vs. Barrios will headline a boxing card on July 19 The bout will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada's MGM Grand Garden Arena The broadcast home for the matchup will be PBC on Prime PPV The card begins at 8 PM ET Manny Pacquiao vs Mario Barrios preview manny pacquiao;s next fight While most boxing fans assumed 'Pacman' was done as a professional fighter, the rumors of a return have become a reality, and the legend will aim to become the oldest champion in boxing history. How good can he be at 46? At first glance, Pacquiao returning at 46 seems like a recipe for disaster. However, Bernard Hopkins was also a world champion at 46. Yet, the eight-division champion has always relied on his athleticism. Hopkins was a champ at such a late stage due to his smarts and craftiness. Pacquiao is a special athlete, but returning at this age to face elite talent will be the greatest challenge of his career. Advertisement Barrios' threat: Barrios isn't a low-level fighter who lucked into being a champion. He is a top-five fighter at welterweight, and his only losses are against generational talent like Gervonta Davis and Keith Thurman. Even in his prime, Barrios would be a solid opponent. However, at such an advanced age, 'El Azteca' will be a sizable favorite on fight night. The bottom line: Pacquiao could easily be embarrassed in his return fight. However, if there was any fighter that would be able to step back into the ring at close to 50 and win a world title, 'Pacman' would be at the top of most fans' lists. Prediction: As super human as the Filipino has been throughout his career, age comes for every athlete. While he should have some fun moments on Saturday, expect the tough and far younger Barrios to grind out a win. Barrios by unanimous decision What makes Manny Pacquiao so popular? manny pacquiaos next fight Pacquiao has become a sports icon because of his rags-to-riches story of rising up from a life of poverty to becoming one of the most famous athletes on the planet. His blinding hand speed, uncanny power, and unorthodox footwork made him a perennial pound-for-pound star for many years. He has also transitioned into being a major political figure in his homeland. First by serving in the Filipino house of representatives and then by being elected to the Senate in 2016. Advertisement Manny Pacquiao record: 62-8-2 (39 knockouts) Manny Pacquiao age: 46 years old Manny Pacquiao height: 5-foot-5 Pacquiao is the only eight-division world champion in boxing history. Starting his career competing at 108 pounds (light-flyweight), and fighting as high as 147 pounds (welterweight) During his career, he defeated legendary boxers in Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Erik Morales, and Marco Antonio Barrera Pacquiao's 2015 bout against Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was the highest-grossing fight of all time. Scoring 4.6 million PPV buys and grossing over $410 million. In 2013, Pacquiao was elected to the House of Representatives as a congressman in his home province of Sarangani During that time, he donated a great deal of his own money to help uplift the province. Which is one of the poorest in the country, and has a poverty rate of 45% In 2016, he earned over 16 million votes and was elected to one of the government's 12 senate seats In 2021, he announced plans to attempt to become the next president of the Philippines. However, the sports icon never came close to landing the country's top political job In September 2022, Pacquiao made his first foray into the growing space of legendary fighters in exhibition bouts. Competing against multi-disciplinary martial artist DK Yoo Manny Pacquiao's net worth Money is often one of the greatest measuring sticks for a fighter's success. As of 2025, Pacquiao's net worth is estimated to be as much as $220 million. Related: BKFC tonight – Get a look at the upcoming schedule for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Related Headlines
