Ex-Manny Pacquiao rival urges him to retire as he makes shock claim about comeback fight
Pacquiao returned from a four-year absence to hold Barrios to a majority draw in their WBC welterweight title fight as he almost became a world champion again at 46.
However, Bradley, who faced Pacquiao three times between 2012 and 2016, was not particularly impressed and has made a shock claim that Barrios went easy on the Filipino legend.
Speaking on his own YouTube channel, Bradley said: 'I'm going to keep it real, Manny Pacquiao's time has been up. You know the fact that he's a special type of athlete, he's a legend, he's able to get in there with Mario Barrios who basically somewhat carried this guy, man, he carried Manny Pacquiao.
'I don't care what anybody say, he carried him. Yes, all he had to do was step on the gas especially in the middle, the back end of the fight where he's the younger fighter.
'He has more energy, he could have gave more effort because obviously he got hit with some straight left hands and he was able to take it but it didn't seem like he wanted to.'
Bradley holds a controversial win over Pacquiao, having beaten him via split decision 13 years ago.
But Pacquiao outpointed him in the next two meetings to edge their rivalry. Bradley's second defeat by Pacquiao was his last professional fight as he retired a two weight-world champion with 33 wins from 37 bouts.
Pacquiao has now had 73 fights and has no intention of stopping yet, despite Bradley's comments.
He has welcomed a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, while Ryan Garcia and WBA welterweight titlist Rolando 'Rolly' Romero have also thrown their names into the mix to take on 'Pac Man' next.

ESPN: Playful kiss led to Raiders releasing Christian Wilkins
July 28 - ESPN reported Monday that a playful kiss to the head of a teammate led to the release of defensive tackle Christian Wilkins last week by the Las Vegas Raiders. The teammate, who went unnamed, took offense to Wilkins' action, ESPN's Adam Schefter said Monday on "The Pat McAfee Show." "When you speak to people there, inside the locker room, they say Christian playfully went to kiss a teammate on top of his head, and those same people said that player took offense to it," Schefter said on McAfee's show. "So that's what everybody's been dancing around." The Raiders released Wilkins last week after one season. The Raiders, who had signed Wilkins in March 2024 to a four-year, $110 million contract with $84.75 million guaranteed, had placed him on the physically unable to perform list before the start of training camp. Wilkins, 29, had been working his way back from a season-ending Jones fracture to his left foot, sustained in the Raiders' 34-18 loss to the Denver Broncos on Oct. 6. Wilkins did not participate in drills during OTAs in May nor in mandatory minicamp, according to media reports. ESPN reported that the Raiders have voided the remaining $35.2 million of guaranteed money and that Wilkins filed a grievance with the NFLPA on Thursday. Wilkins recorded 17 tackles and two sacks in five games (all starts) before having season-ending surgery. He has totaled 372 tackles, 22.5 sacks, one interception, four forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries in 86 career regular-season games (82 starts) with the Miami Dolphins and Raiders. He was selected by the Dolphins with the 13th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Clemson. --Field Level Media

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred confronted by Bryce Harper during meeting, AP source says
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper had a spirited exchange during a question-and-answer session between the commissioner and the team, according to a person with direct knowledge of the conversation. The person spoke to the AP on Monday on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. Phillies slugger Nick Castellanos previously confirmed some details from the meeting in interviews with The Bandwagon and ESPN. Manfred met with the Phillies and Red Sox during their series last week in Philadelphia. The session with the Phillies lasted for more than an hour. Manfred spoke with the NL team about the media landscape and working together to grow the sport, according to the person with knowledge of the conversation. At some point, Harper told Manfred if he was there to talk about a salary cap, he could 'get the (expletive) out' of the clubhouse. Baseball's collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1, 2026, and some players are concerned about a possible management push for a salary cap. Harper is a two-time NL MVP and one of the game's marquee names, making his confrontation with Manfred more noteworthy. Manfred and some owners have cited payroll disparity as one of baseball's biggest problems, while at the same time MLB is working to address a revenue decline from regional sports networks. Unlike the NFL, NBA and NHL, baseball has never had a salary cap because its players staunchly oppose one. ___

Emmanuel Clase named in bombshell Major League Baseball gambling probe
Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase has reportedly been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of Major League Baseball's gambling investigation. Clase pitched in both games of a doubleheader on Saturday against the Royals in what will likely be his final MLB action for some time. Clase is on paid leave through August 31, per ESPN, and has the same designation as teammate Luis Ortiz, who is also connected with the betting probe. Clase is viewed as one of the elite relief pitchers in baseball, giving a severe handicap to the Guardians, who are looking to stay in contention in the American League Wild Card race. The Guardians said in a statement - 'The Guardians have been notified by Major League Baseball that as part if their sports betting investigation Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave per an agreement with the Players Association.' 'We have been informed that no additional players or club personnel are expected to be impacted.' 'The Guardians are not permitted to comment further at this time, and will respect the league's confidential investigative process as we continue to fully cooperate.'
