Eumir Marcial.

LAS VEGAS – July 14, 2025 – A Filipino Olympic bronze medalist and an exciting Mexican contender, plus a host of undefeated prospects, will round out the non-televised undercard leading up to the star-studded PBC Pay-Per-View on Prime Video headlined by boxing legend Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao continuing his legendary career by challenging WBC Welterweight World Champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios on Saturday, July 19 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The non-televised lineup is highlighted by Filipino Olympic bronze medalist Eumir Marcial taking on Bernard Joseph in eight rounds of welterweight action and Mexican contender Omar Salcido in a super lightweight matchup against Brian Gallegos.

Rounding out the card is undefeated lightweight prospect Jursly Vargas (5-0, 4 KOs) facing fellow unbeaten Sergio Aldana (4-0, 1 KO) in a six-round tussle and another matchup of unbeatens as super welterweight prospect Joseph Brown (5-0, 4 KOs) faces Aaron Watson (2-0-1, 1 KO) in a four-round affair.

The stacked PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video that features a loaded PPV undercard preceding the Pacquiao vs. Barrios main event. In the co-main event, WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora and Australian superstar Tim Tszyu look to eclipse 2024’s bloodiest fight in their championship rematch.

Plus, Mexican star Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz meets his hard-hitting countryman Angel Fierro for a second time in a 12-round super lightweight duel, while former two-division world champion Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa and top contender Joet Gonzalez kick off the payper-view at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT with a 12-round WBA Featherweight Title Eliminator.

Preceding the pay-per-view, champion Gary Russell Jr. tops a three fight card streaming live on Prime Video, as he steps back into the ring to face Hugo Castañeda in a 10-round lightweight showdown. The action also includes undefeated top super bantamweight David “Rey” Picasso dueling Japanese contender Kyonosuke Kameda in a 10-round affair, plus Filipino power-puncher and former world champion Mark “Magnifico” Magsayo battles Mexico’s Jorge Mata Cuellar in a 10-round super featherweight attraction opening the show at 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT.

In addition to being available for purchase on Prime Video, regardless of Prime membership, fans will also be able to continue to access the telecast through traditional cable and satellite outlets as well as PPV.com.

Tickets for the live event are on sale now through AXS.com.
A highly-decorated Filipino amateur, highlighted by two trips to the Olympics, an Olympic bronze and a silver at the 2019 World Champions, Marcial (5-0, 3 KOs) will look to continue his rise in the pro ranks on July 19. The 29-year-old has won each of his last two fights by knockout, including most recently stopping Thoedsak Sinam in March 2024. He will be opposed by the Dorchester, Mass.-native Joseph (11-2-1, 5 KOs). The 35-year-old had a seven-fight win streak snapped in June by a narrow majority decision against Casey James Streeter.

Originally from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and now fighting out of California, Salcido (20-2, 14 KOs) will return to action after going the distance with undefeated lightweight contender Andy Cruz in January. The 25-year-old had previously earned a career-best victory when he knocked out former interim champion Chris Colbert in the ninth-round of their October 2024 showdown. He will be opposed by Gallegos (8-1, 6 KOs) who will fight for the first time since a May 2024 stoppage of Paulo Figueroa. A native of Durango, Mexico now fighting out of North Las Vegas, Gallegos’ only defeat came via a narrow split-decision in 2018 against the thenunbeaten Sulaiman Segawa.
