While age might impact his power but I think that he's still in good shape. He's experienced but it's a fact that we cannot deny that he's in disadvantage because Barrios is younger and just 30 years old. The entire Philippines is going to watch this match. I remember the days that there's zero crime rate whenever he has a match.
That’s still the case now since it’s his comeback fight, and so far, no other boxer in the Philippines has matched Pacman’s popularity. This fight won’t be available via free livestream; it’s a pay-per-view (PPV) event in the Philippines.

The good news is, the price is way cheaper compared to PPV rates in the U.S. or Europe.
As far as I know, it’s less than $10 for a basic subscription.

Yes, it's less and cheaper for us Filipinos, however, there could be some free streaming that we can watch if you know where to look at.  Grin. So it's going to be fight week tomorrow so for sure Manny is unwinding his trainings already and maybe just doing just like work as he might have hit the peak of his training and during fight night he will be at his best version. So for us Filipinos, it's easy choice, I'm still going for Manny Pacquiao by decision. It's just for pure sentimental reasons but I do hope that Manny made the right choice for a comeback against one of the weakest champion at 147 lbs. I still remember the Pacquiao vs Mayweather, every household in the Philippines that time has that fight, every barangay, and it's true that there are no crimes in the street even in war torn province, they stop to just watch Manny and so yes, there will be no other boxer not just in the Philippines but int world that can match his popularity being a Asian descent.
