What would a win mean for Pacquiao?

[SouthpawRight]

It would mean he sent a somewhat obscure fighter, even if he has a belt, further into obscurity.

I'm really hoping Barrios pulls it off and by dominant stoppage, Pac's ego is out of this world did anyone of you know pac wanted to compete in the Olympics? Against a bunch of kids to steal their glory for himself.

manny would take the matchmaking lessons he learned in pro boxing over to amateurs

and yet it was his biggest competitor who was mislabeled as attention hoar

manny style does not translate well to amateur points system

he'd get outboxed by another Cuban and get calf cramp again

I could only hope but imagine being a legendary pro fighter wanting to do that. These young fighters need the rub from the Olympics to get their careers started how self centered of Pac.

I hope he plays the role of Oscar in their fight, would be great for Barrios since he is a new father knocking up Brandon Figueroa's sister.

man, stop being a hater!!

Top 5 ATG.

To return after 4-5 years to become the second oldest Champion of all time would be insane.

[IronDanHamza]

Nothing. We know Pac is long done and this is just a bonus payday for his legendary name and career. Just like nobody remembers old Duran vs Joppy or Louis vs Marciano or Tyson vs McBride. Or nobody should remember those disasters, win lose or draw.

Pretty sure if Louis managed to beat prime Rocky Marciano that shit would be remembered.

It means he saw an opportunity to come back against a weak champion - grab a belt and retire off a W instead of an L.

It means something to Pacquiao's fans - does nothing for his legacy.

Mario Barrios ain't Rocky Marciano - he's a nobody.

actually Pac wanting to fight in the Olympics was not for his glory but for our country the Philippines, 3 Olympics ago we still did not win any gold medal in any Olympic sport and to this day never an Boxing Olympics gold...

anyway I hate this match, I am a pacman fan but I do not want to see him fight anymore, I just hope he does not get hurt.

for pacs legacy, this fight has double standards, if manny wins, it is another feather on his cap, if he loses it does not mean sh_t

Of course you agree though that a pro with so much experience and a legendary career spanning nearly 3 decades has no business fighting someone in high school right?

Yes its a double standard for obvious reasons and its valid, so what if he beats Barrios but if Barrios beats him it would be his best win.
