Barrios. This guy keeps getting the best opportunities of almost anyone with PBC. Career wise having a HOFer on his resume would be huge to up his Q score + bank account.

I think Manny is just looking for checks at this stage of his career.

I suspect Barrios will decision him. Manny even at this stage is probably enough of a veteran to weather the storm, and survive, but I don't think he can beat a young prime fighter that's good anymore. Barrios is certainly not a great fighter, but he's good, and at this point that's probably more than Manny can handle.

WBC are open to this match up.

Of course did we expect any different

Errol Spence vs. Sebastian Fundora and Manny Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios double-header is possible for December.

It’s an interesting card in a trainwreck type of way, as Spence and Pacquiao are ring-worn and not ideal candidates to be challenging for world titles. The tickets would sell, and it could bring in some PPV buys for PBC on Prime Video pay-per-view.

Alan Dawson reports that Spence-Fundora and Pacquiao-Barrios could be happening on the same night in December. Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) would challenge WBC and WBO junior middleweight champion Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KOs).
