Some substantial news has come for what was a possible Manny Pacquiao opponent next up.
Much effort was ongoing to make a world title fight between WBC Champion Marrios Barrios and Filipino eight-time world champion Manny Pacquiao.
Now Barrios has been added to a fight on the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson mega card November 15th in Texas live on Netflix worldwide for free to global Netflix subscribers.
That leaves Pacquiao with some thinking to do.
Recently he did not look great against Japanese kickboxer Anpo that he would have lost had there been judges in the bout.
Now he finds himself well compensated and resting from the exhibition and will he fight another one potentially.
Or a real pro fight to get him ready for Barrios or someone else in 2025.
Pacquiao didn’t get much chance to prepare for Anpo last time out as a late replacement too.
Likely Pacquiao will need one more fight before going after a world title or at least a dedicated three month full fight camp to take on a title fight, one last time.
One last championship.
