The second fight of Manny Pacquiao against Marco Antonio Barrera will be held a few hours from now. Everyone here in the Philippines is rooting for Manny Pacquiao. Well not really everyone. There are those who’re cursing him for being so f**king rich. Manny Pacquiao a few years ago was worth about $5 Million. Right now maybe double? One game and he earns how much? Millions and millions of dollars. Marco Barrera wouldn’t go empty handed either. Both Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera, win or lose, will get millions on this fight. I’m sure of that.
Here’s an article from Inquirer explaining Manny Pacquiao’s condition (him having weight issues before the fight) currently and some other score information of both Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera, which I see as hieroglyphics, given that I don’t have any background on boxing.
“LAS VEGAS–A gaunt, ghostly figure officially identified as Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines was certified ready on Friday (Saturday in Manila) for his monumental rematch with muscular Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera at the Events Center of the Mandalay Bay Hotel here.
Based on the displayed physical discrepancy, the bout would’ve been disallowed if it were to have been promptly fought after Friday’s weigh-in.
The two warriors square off Saturday for the second time in an anticipated classic made doubly suspenseful following the confirmation of a Pacquiao weight problem.
Fight time is 8 p.m. Saturday here (Sunday 11 a.m. in Manila).
“Knockout!” blurted Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach when asked for his final battle order after Friday’s dramatic weigh-in.”
