    Is Barrios selling the title to Pacquiao?

    The fight between Barrios and Pacquiao hasn't even happened yet and Team Pac is already talking about a first title defense against Tank Davis, who obviously is going to wipe up Roach in the rematch.

    Barrios might up his value by losing a good action fight with the legend. Pac vs midget Tank is probably in the bag for Pac too, which sets up the Floyd rematch. If this is the business plan, it's a good one. It's the right time for this story line as Usyk is done, Canelo is done, Crawford is done and Boots is boring. I actually like this business plan and it makes dollars and sense and cents.

    - - Pac may win vs Barrios, a legit fighter, but he never got beat up like l'l floydy did vs utuber Logan Paul.

      Barrios could do what Braddock did when he sold the title to Joe Louis - get a percentage of all of Pacquiao's future WBC title fights which may be against Tank and then Floyd and those would be big money. Barrios might be better of losing to Pac. Just like Braddock profited more losing to Louis by getting a cut of all of Joe's hwt title fights which amounted to about 20.

        Pacquiao is in great form. Since losing to Jeff "The Hornet" Horn, Manny has only lost 1 fight in 8 years. He's on fire. He'll win this 117-111. Nash out - His Majesty

          Follow the money.

          If rumors are to be believed, Barrios takes a payday to lose to set up the rumored Manny v Tank fight.

            And Barrios will surely be on the undercard as part of the payoff.

              What rumors?

              The make believe ones?

                Tank might lose the rematch, he should have lost the first.

                Barrios batters pacman and gets another payday in his next fight.

                    Completely agree with you. I thought Roach won the first one, as well, but it was under PBC promotions, so they had to protect their main source of revenue.
