Pacquiao Fighting for a World Title Is Madness: Hearn

Matchroom Boxing CEO Eddie Hearn shared his opinion on former six-weight champion Manny Pacquiao's return to the professional ring.

Eddie Hearn quoted by BoxingScene
I still think Pacquiao fighting for a world title is madness. Five years out of the ring and nowhere near world level... But that's boxing. That's the business. We get it.

Pacquiao will fight against WBC champion Mario Barrios on July 19 in Las Vegas (USA).

Pacquiao last fought professionally in August 2021, losing to Yordenis Ugas by unanimous decision. He has 62 wins (39 by knockout), eight losses and two draws on his record.
