Will Pacquiao and Barrios run it back despite a perceived low fan interest?

Manny Pacquiao’s options for well -paid combat like the one he had last Saturday against Mario Barios are very limited. The challenge of the non-winning title of Pacquiao, a former 46-year-old multi-section world champion, against the WTG Barrios Welterweight Champion (29-2-2, 18 kos) was not thrilling to watch. The thrill from fans was completely missing for this fighting.

Re -Son Barrios Questions

Pacquiao received a huge purse mentioned to be $ 12.6 million for the fighting. The price of the PPV, $ 79.99, probably led to very few purchases last Saturday. The question is, which promoter would be willing to fund the Barrios’ second -reading for the Filipino star? They can’t be excited about wanting to pay for Pacquiao’s huge purse again if the PPV doesn’t buy and Gate Money does not cover the paid purses.

PPV Deniction deteriorates Manny

The reality is that Pacquiao is no longer a PPV draw big enough to bring the huge purchases it made in the past. Some of Manny’s largest PPV purchases during his peak years between 2008 and 2015 are:

• Oscar de la hoya – December 2008: 1.25 million PPV buy
• Ricky Hatton – May 2009: 1.75 million
• Miguel Cotto – November 2009: 1.25 million
• Antonio Margarito – November 2010: 1.15 million
• Shane Mosley – May 2011: 1.34 million
• Juan Manuel Marquez III – November 2011: 1.4 million
• Juan Manuel Marquez IV – December 2012: 1.15 million
• Floyd Mayweather Jr. – May 2015: 4.6 million

It would be fortunate if the Pacquiao vs Barrios event on Saturday produced even 100,000 PPV Puys, given the limited interest in this fighting and the subcook that accompanied him.

Financial reality to Pacquiao

Councilor Manny, Sean Gibbons, spoke of wanting Gervonta Davis or weight champion WBA Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero as next opponents. There is no chance that Davis tank will fight Pacquiao. That’s not happening. It’s not that desperate.

Fighting Rolly Romero would be no different than facing Barrios yet. Rolly is not a PPV attraction, and a battle against him would be of little interest from fans. An incident between Pacquiao and Romero would probably Money Hemorrhage for the promoter who put it on.

“The only alternative is to do it yet. I don’t know who pays for it, though. I don’t know what the PPV was buying. I can’t imagine that they were that loud, and you didn’t walk away from that fight thinking, ‘I saw it again.’ That wasn’t the kind of excitement movie that made you want to see Pacquiao and Barrios run it back, ”said Chris Mannix on her channel About the options for next fighting Manny Pacquiao if he chooses to face Mario Barrios in a second -time match.

It would be dangerous for a champion to stage a second battle between Pacquiao and Barrios unless Manny is ready to agree to a smaller purse. Supporters do not have enough interest in seeing them do it yet. Barrios looked inert, and Pacquiao looked very old.

“Hopefully it does other things. I don’t want to see it in the circle long enough to see someone eliminate it, and that comes at some point. If he fights the wrong guy, that’s going to come for Manny Pacquiao,” said Mannix.
