LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, JUL 19 – At age 46, Manny Pacquiao aims to become the oldest welterweight champion again and possibly set up a billion-dollar rematch with Floyd Mayweather, his first fight since 2021 retirement.
- On Saturday, July 19, 2025, Manny Pacquiao will face Mario Barrios at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
- Amid his four-year hiatus, Pacquiao says his comeback is driven by preserving his competitive legacy rather than money.
- Pacquiao said `Floyd Mayweather has a lot of excuses`, underscoring his preparation of 33 consecutive rounds of sparring.
- Reports from Lance Pugmire indicate rematch stakes evaporate if Pacquiao loses to Barrios, and Mayweather, 48, will still be ringside.
- If he wins, Pacquiao will become the oldest welterweight titlist and the bout may serve as the opening chapter to a dramatic final act.
