Based on the Sportsbet.io contest here on bitcointalk, most people are picking Barrios to win.
I can't find this match on stake, I'm sad that even if I want to bet for Pacquiao on this match, I cannot. I think many doesn't believe in Pacquiao anymore because he has aged already. But I still think that he's got that power in speed although might be slower nowadays. We'll see if the younger caliber is going to win against him or it's still the pride that Pacman has got in winning this fight.

Pacquiao is the huge underdog and so we understand why some bettors will for Barrios to win this fight. I mean he is young and probably in the prime of his boxing years. As compare to Manny, who is old, admit it or not. You can even see the white hair on Manny, a obvious sign for Asian that they are really that old. And I do believed that most Filipinos are going to bet him for sentimental reasons. Nothing to be ashamed to admit that. But it might be very hard for Manny as he is a long shot unless he still possesses that power and speed that will knockout or knockdown Barrios. And this is the only way that Manny can win, test that chin early and then show his footwork and speed and power. But if there will be fans that are not going to beat because they don't know or don't want to bet on Barrios, then maybe they just want to enjoy this fight.
