The WBC has been informed by Golden Boy Promotions of the acceptance by WBC superfeather champion Marco Antonio Barrera to defend his title against the WBC #1 and official challenger Manny Pacquiao. The WBC is now awaiting Pacquiao’s acceptance, as is customary for all WBC mandatory fights in order to start the free negotiation period or proceed to appoint another official challenger in the event Pacquiao does not accept. Pacquiao has been granted a week to inform of his decision.
