    lmao @ scripted. yeah let's script this fight to a draw.

    he's getting old, your instinct changes.
    Yeah, I feel ya! I don't know. However, I do find it just a bit odd and strange though that Barrios simply refused to take any risks against Pac until round 10. Once he started to let his hands go more.

    Had he didn't. He was going to lose the fight by way of unanimous decision. After nine rounds had been completed; All three of the official judges had Pac winning the fight by scores of 6-3 on two cards and 5-4 on the other card.

      Barios would promise not to hurt Pac, and in return he can keep his belt and make a huge payday.

      Pac gets to have his comeback fight with getting hurt or taking an "L" on his resume.

      Once again, I am not writing that it was scripted, but if it were then it would look exactly like last night- draw included.
      why the hell would they script it to a "draw"??? like I said, fights that fans accused of being rigged, the fighter with no chance ends up winning. a rematch with Pac vs Barrios wouldnt make money since no one will be interested in it... if they wanna rig it to make money they would have made Pac the winner, since this will lead to a possible fight against Floyd or even tank!! a draw makes zero sense instead of just rigging it to make Pac the winner. this will open doors to making more money for PBC!!!

        did you NOT see the thread I made this morning with barrios saying "he hit's hard ASF"???? maybe that has something to do with it??? barrios was asked "at what point in the fight did you feel his power and realize that you have to be more defensive", barrios said the 1st round!! when they both had an exchange, barrios said he felt manny's power so he knew he had to tighten up on his defense. barrios said, at times when Manny looks off balance, his shots still find it's way to land and still land with power. yall really need to stop with the conspiracy that the fight was rigged. Pac is washed but he still has a lot of experience and barrios was never really all that great anyways. so you get a draw even tho myself and others feel Pac won that fight. so Pac got robbed! more so than the fight was rigged. yeah they rigged the fight and cost Manny a WIN!

          Pacquiao has definitely lost his reflexes and timing, he still has tremendous punching speed and power though. You could hear his shots thudding against Barrios.

          This was an odd fight. I genuinely believe there was a pre fight agreement for Barrios to take it easy on Pacquiao because Barrios was laying off him and not pressing the action when he was clearly able to. He could've literally jabbed Pacquiao all night and coasted to victory. Also he was hitting and hurting Pacquiao to the body who was complaining and gesturing to Barrios as if he was the referee himself?? I scored it 116-112 to Barrios, I don't see how anyone could make a case for Pacquiao. The draw was being generous as well, all swing rounds were clearly awarded to him.

            Because with a draw neither fighter loses, thats why it would be scripted that way. Its a mutually agreed upon safe space. Now please keep in mind, I dont believe it was scripted, but this makes the most sense as the script.

            If you wanted to script it for Pac to win, you'd have to ensure Barios was in on it, because otherwise he'd just knock Pac out (being the bigger, stronger, non middle aged fighter). You can't script it for Pac to win without Barios' approval, because he is the one whose actually a good fighter at this stage (once again assuming you believe it was scripted).

            Now Barios wants the money of the Pac fight, but he doesnt want to lose his belt. Pac wants to comeback and prove that he's still got it- or whatever the heck he's trying to prove (honestly, script, no script, whatever, what was Pac trying to prove). The only way you reach this mutually beneficial outcome is.....a draw.

            You're basing your logic on everyone agreeing to do whatever makes PBC the most money, but Barios doesnt want to drop the strap, he only agrees to the script if he gets to keep the belt. And since he actually would win the fight if they were both trying- you have to keep him appeased.

            Once again, not writing this is what happened.

              You are right. I said from the get go that this fight was more than just a money grab for Pac. I said that Manny sincerely believed that he could defeat Barrios.

              I was right because over the broadcast; Manny’s wife Jinkee confirmed this notion. The announcers said that Pac told them that.

                but if they wanna rigged it, they would have made manny the winner!!! what's the point of a draw? team pac already said they are not interested in a barrios rematch! making manny the winner would have open doors for a possible rematch against floyd, or pac could challenge tank!!! that's where the money is!!! why would they script it to a draw. stop making excuses for barrios poor performance!! "barrios doesnt want to drop the strap, he only agrees to the script to keep his belt" LOL!!!! dumb! fuck outta here.

                    Whoa, why the vulgarity and insults? Are we really that fired up about another mans online posts? Slow your roll and lets keep it like grown ups in here. Or you don't respond to me, your choice, but act like a grown man when responding.

                    None of those options are closed to Manny if he wants them, the draw against a current champ keeps him in the game and active....IF he still wants

                      makes zero sense what you are trying to imply!!! why the hell would barrios agreed to a scripted fight for him to have a draw??? if he feels he can beat manny, why the hell would he agree to a draw? what does that benefit him? and the same for manny! why the hell would he agree to a draw when the only reason he came back and picked barrios was to make history to win a world title at 46!!! DUMB!
