in the end, it was good that pacman signed 2 contracts :hihihi: definitely a good day for boxing. cotto-mosley bring it on

[Asus700]

this is a pretty much redundant fight.

paquiao has nothing to prove anymore with fighting a guy whom he beat satisfactorily.

barrera has no reason to climb up the ring with paquiao anymore, he licked the canvass for a good number of times.

marquez would have been a better choice.

pero syempre, pera pera na lang yan.

October? Tagal pa nito.

Pacquiao pa rin yan. Lalo na ngayon, lahat ng galit niya, ibubuhos niya kay Barrera. Talo eh. Kelangang bawiin yung P140M pinamigay nya nung May elections.

[Syuryuken]

potek yung malakas-lakas naman ilaban nila kay pacman.

[mikaztro]

It's a great matchup but I would prefer Pacman going against Joan Guzman, Edwin Valero and Juan Manuel Marquez. Barrera was soundly beaten by Juan Manuel in their last fight. I hope Pacman hurdles this fight and fight those fighters that I mentioned.

Di na ako mapakali, excited na ako sa Pacquiao Barrera rematch! Di ko tuloy alam kung saana ko manunuod - dito ba sa bahay, sa pinaka convenient na mall?

Last 2 previous fights kse nya nasa SM fairview ako nanuod (daming sanggano) nung 2nd (3rd fight w Morales) sa Rockwell, parehong ok kse buhay na buhay ang crowd. Nakaka enganyo kse yung marami kayong nanunuod para feel na feel!

Kayo, saan kayo manonood?

[Sarsi]

standby na lang dito sa tsikot. Dito na lang ako hintay ng update

sayang ang P500 pesos ko. Not interested to watch the fight.

but my fearless forecast is Toprank and Golden Boy will let Barrera win, so a third fight will be held. After all, boxing is a very lucrative business

[Karding]

sa bahay lang ako manonood.

parang mas exciting ang The Contender third season

[Zeus]

Sa bahay lang

After his win over Marco Antonio Barrera, Emmanuel “Manny" Pacquiao has nothing else on his mind but going home and savoring his victory.

Pacquiao said he was careful in his bout with Barrera, which lasted until the 12th round.

“He’s still strong, he is not an easy opponent. I respect Barrera," he said, adding he does not know whom he will face next.

For now, he said he plans to go back to the Philippines to celebrate. “I hope the people will enjoy (this victory)," he said.

Vice President Manuel “Noli" de Castro Jr added, “we are proud of Pacquiao and we are proud of the Filipinos who are the real winners."

For his part, Barrera said he is retiring from the sport, saying he is happy regardless of the outcome.

“I am happy, I feel bad but no problem, this is a sport," he said.

He said that despite his defeat, he proved that he was an able boxer. "I'm very happy because all the people say that Manny Pacquiao will knock me out in three or two rounds but you look, up to 12th round I am very good."

When asked if this was his last fight, he said, “Yeah I’m finished ... I’m finished with his beautiful sport," adding he felt good to have lasted the distance. “12 rounds I am very good," he said
