SO THE stage is set for the Manny Pacquiao-Marco Antonio Barrera bout this November. Based on latest reports, the fight, scheduled for 12 rounds, will push through as scheduled.
Except for the venue, the Pacquiao-Barrera bout is sealed with the Filipino world-boxing champion reportedly assured of the biggest paycheck in his boxing career — a fat P24 million. That’s huge sum.
But Manny had made it clear he will not be fighting for the money. He wants Barrera badly and the fact that his handlers were able to arrange a showdown between him and the classy Mexican is already a dream come true.
