Former three division champion Marco Antonio Barrera let it all hang out when�talking about�the upcoming fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao. Barrera fought, and lost, two fights with Pacquiao. He was also a partner in De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, leaving the company a few months ago to sign a deal with promoter Don King.

Barrera says the fight is a disgrace and nothing more than a circus act to line the pockets of the two fighters involved.

"What battle? This is not battle.�This doesn't give any�respect to the people - it's a circus.�It is something that�will make us�lose a lot of credibility�as boxers with�these kind of�things," Barrera�told Nicaraguan journalist Pablo Freights. "Why didn't De La Hoya challenge Antonio Margarito or one of the Klitschkos"

"I believe Oscar should win in two rounds. The fight is a circus. Jose Sulaiman [WBC president] said the same thing, that the fight was a circus. Their pockets are the ones that are going to win. They are the ones who going to leave full and satisfied because the boxing family will not get a lot from this farce."
