For those who wants to hear some Manny Pacquiao news:
WBN received information from sources close to Pacquiao and Barrios that no world title fight is currently being discussed.
https://www.worldboxingnews.com/manny-pacquiao-wbc-return-hold/So there you have it, there is no title fight being discussed right now, although we have heard that Manny wants to make a comeback at the 147 lbs and challenge which they think is the weakiest amongst them which is Barrios.
Maybe for Pacquiao, the proceeds will be for charitable purposes. Just testing the waters if he has still juice on this sports. His passion is really showing here as Pacquiao still wants to try if he has still some power left. However, based from the article, there's no solid statement from Pacquiao's camp that they will push thru this match as he is focus on the upcoming election right now. I believe, it is better for him to really hang his gloves and just enjoy his retirement. Better get away from politics as well. He will only suffer headache in this arena.
Maybe, but still though, he is not young anymore, his age is already showing, and even in his last exhibition fight, Manny was just a shade of himself. If he wanted to help charitable institutions then he could do like fun raising.
Itself of fighting again in the ring that he might regret later. In any case, he is running for the Senate and I think if he wins then this whole comeback fight is not going to happen anymore as he will be busy again.
