Pacquiao Defies Age, Settles for Majority Draw in Comeback Fight
20 Jul
Summary
- Pacquiao, 46, fought competitively with champion Barrios, 16 years younger
- Fight ended in a majority draw, denying Pacquiao the record as oldest welterweight champ
- Pacquiao stated he will continue his boxing journey and is interested in a Mayweather rematch

In a recent boxing match, veteran fighter Manny Pacquiao, 46, showed he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level, despite being 16 years older than his opponent, Mario Barrios. The fight, which took place on Saturday, ended in a majority draw, denying Pacquiao the record as the oldest fighter to win a welterweight world title.
Pacquiao's performance was a testament to his skill and determination, as he displayed the explosiveness and speed that made him an eight-division world champion and one of the biggest stars in the sport. However, the fight itself was not the barnburner that many fans had hoped for, with both fighters landing at a relatively low clip.
Despite the disappointing outcome, Pacquiao remains undeterred, stating that "the PacMan is back, and the journey will continue." The Filipino sensation is now considering his next move, with a potential rematch against Barrios or a high-profile bout against the likes of Gervonta "Tank" Davis or Rolando "Rolly" Romero on the table.
Pacquiao is also not ruling out a rematch with his longtime rival, Floyd Mayweather, who he says he is willing to fight again if the former champion comes out of retirement. While boxing fans may not be eager for a repeat of their 2015 "Fight of the Century," the potential matchup would undoubtedly generate significant interest and viewership.
