How to watch Pacquiao vs Barrios: TV channel and live stream for fight today
At the age of 46, Pacquiao makes his return to the boxing ring, four years removed from his last professional bout which was a points defeat to Yordenis Ugas at the the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.
'PacMan' has already cemented himself as a legend in this sport. Winning 12 world titles across eight weight divisions throughout his career and despite it being almost exactly six years to the day since his last professional win, he is not worried about his reputation.
"I'm worried for my reputation," Pacquiao said.
"But I'm making sure that I'm not a kind of fighter like other fighters that come back but they are not showing what they did before."
Pacquiao is lacing up his gloves and stepping between the ropes again to challenge Barrios for the WBC strap which the American has held since last May when Terence Crawford was demoted to champion in recess.
So will 'PacMan' roll back the years to dethrone Barrios or will youth prevail for the champion to successfully defend his title to extend his professional boxing record to 30-2?
Below is everything you need to know about where to watch this bout...

Red Sox rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer goes on 10-day IL with right wrist sprain
Rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain by the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Mayer, 22, sustained the injury in Wednesday's 9-8 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. He drew a two-out walk against Jesús Luzardo in the fifth inning, but hurt his wrist while swinging and missing at a slider during the at-bat. He didn't come out of the game immediately, running the bases and coming around to score on a Romy González grand slam. But Abraham Toro took over at third base in the bottom of the inning. 'I just felt a little tight grab in my wrist when I took a swing in my second at-bat,' Mayer told MassLive's Chris Cotillo afterward. 'I knew I really couldn't do anything after that so I just called it.' A natural shortstop, Mayer has mostly played third base while Alex Bregman was on the IL with a right quad strain. He's also played at second base and made a couple of appearances at shortstop during his 44 games. Mayer was Boston's 2021 first-round pick (No. 4 overall) and was called up on May 25 when Bregman went on the IL. Ranked as the Red Sox's No. 3 prospect before the season by Mayer has struggled with his hitting as a rookie, batting .228/.272/.402 with eight doubles, four home runs and 10 RBI in 136 plate appearances. Infielder David Hamilton was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to take Mayer's spot on the active roster. He was on the major league roster until Bregman was activated from the IL on July 11. Hamilton's best asset is his speed with 15 stolen bases in 18 attempts. He batted .179/.229/.276 in 133 plate appearances before being demoted. Bregman (.290 avg., .899 OPS) will start at third base for the Red Sox on Friday's series opener versus the Los Angeles Dodgers with Ceddanne Rafaela (.270 avg., .780 OPS) playing at second base. Boston is currently third in the AL East at 55-49, 6.5 games behind the Toronto Blue Jays (61-42) and two games behind the second-place New York Yankees (56-46).

NFL players, employees fined for selling Super Bowl tickets: reports
More than 100 NFL players and dozens of club employees are to be fined or suspended for selling their allocations of tickets for this year's Super Bowl on secondary markets, US media reported on Friday. ESPN reported that players who sold allotted tickets will be fined one-and-a-half times the face value of the tickets sold and be barred from receiving tickets to the next two editions of the Super Bowl. Players amongst those caught will be given the option of purchasing tickets if their team reaches the Super Bowl in 2026 or 2027. Players who decline to pay the fines face being suspended, ESPN cited league and union sources as saying. ESPN quoted an NFL memo sent to teams which said employees and players had sold tickets to "bundlers" working with a ticket resale site. Tickets to the Super Bowl are consistently one of the hottest -- and most expensive -- tickets in North American sport, fetching as much as $10,000 on resale sites. "Our initial investigation has determined that a number of NFL players and coaches, employed by several NFL Clubs, sold Super Bowl tickets for more than the ticket's face value in violation of the policy," NFL chief compliance officer Sabrina Perel wrote in the memo. Perel cited "long-standing league policy" which "prohibits League or club employees, including players, from selling NFL game tickets acquired from their employer for more than the ticket's face value or for an amount greater than the employee originally paid for the ticket, whichever is less." Perel added that the league will enhance mandatory training before Super Bowl LX for all league personnel to emphasize the rules and "the broader principle that no one should profit personally from their NFL affiliation at the expense of our fans." The league, meanwhile, also planned to improve training to avoid a repeat, with the possibility of stiffer sanctions for future offenses. "No one should profit personally from their NFL affiliation at the expense of our fans," Perel wrote in the memo. rcw/js

Astros place left-hander Brandon Walter on injured list with elbow inflammation
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros placed left-handed starter Brandon Walter on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday, with left elbow inflammation. Walter becomes the 18th Houston player currently on the team's IL. In a corresponding move, right-handed reliever Nick Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land. Walter is 1-3 with a 3.35 ERA in nine starts for the Astros this season with 52 strikeouts and four walks. He allowed two or fewer runs in seven starts and limited the Diamondbacks to one run over a career-high seven innings on Wednesday. Walter is Houston's eighth starting pitcher on the injured list. Right-handers Hayden Wesneski and Ronel Blanco are out for the season after undergoing Tommy John Surgery. Right-handers Cristian Javier, Spencer Arrighetti, Luis Garcia, and J.P. France have recently started rehab assignments. Right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. was placed in the injured list Saturday due to a blister on a finger of his right hand. ___ AP MLB:
