    Pac comeback is all about the money. He sees a phony like Paul getting $30m a fight and a shot Tyson getting near the same, Pac figures he deserves his paydays too. And he does. If the market will pay up.

          It was just a tune up fight for the 46 YEARS OLD, 4 years retired and 2 months of training. Now the soon to be 47 YEARS OLD is ready to any top WW of the division.

            This is actually a pretty high point. It goes to show what a weak era the division is in. I know Barrios is the worst of the bunch, but still being a champion. A champion of the NEXT gen. Remember when Pac fought Broner and Thurman? That was already a generation outside of his own. He's moved on to the NEXT gen and is still whoopin a$$ at 46 years old. It goes to show what a beast he was in his younger years and just how much he didn't give a f**k who he was facing.

                I don't know if the era is weak or pacman is just still that good even at 46 years old.

                  Pac looked better than his fight with Anpo

                  His timing seemed better. idk if its just that barrios is slow or the full training camp helped.

                  I was expecting him to get ran over

                  it also looked like barrios didnt try very hard. was he paid to throw it or was he just showing too much respect IDK

                    Rumor has it... actually Pacquaio confirmed with plenty of interviews, he never trained for Anpo because well, he didn't think it was going to be a tough fight. Obviously Anpo being young and facing Pac, trained his ass off. I'm not saying we should put much into the match because it was meaningless, but anyone that took that as if it was a serious Pac who trained his @$$ off was seriously mislead. VS Barrios however is Pac who trained his @$$ off at 46 years old.

                      Barrios should be embarrassed
