    MP Promotions president Sean Gibbons has stated Manny wants to fight again in late November possibly against Rolly Romero. Source Boxing Kingdom X account.

    I actually think that this is a winnable fight for Pacquiao maybe more so than a rematch with Barrios.

    Wouldn't surprise me, any fight Pacquiao is in will have a lot of money involved and Romero is a fairly beatable and big name.

    If they can make it happen in the Philippines for the fiftieth anniversary of the Thrilla in Manila, that would be totally awesome.

    Manny's first KO victory since stopping Lucas Matthysse in 2018!

    Both Rolly and Barrios are beatable. Pac now has the benefit of having shaken off the ring rust too.

    Barrios at least has good fundamentals he just doesn't do anything special but Rolly is so flawed and open to be hit clean. I really think this is the fight for Manny to make.

    I'd love this, especially if they could get Navarrete-Suarez as a co-main or at least somewhere on the undercard. Pacquiao and Suarez should arguably have already won titles this year, the marketing writes itself there even without the 50th anniversary celebration. Not a bad way for the country to return to the title scene either :ggg

    not a world title on the line so not as exciting (WBA regular isn't a world title)

    I think Romero is the sole champion, now that Ennis moved up. Therefore his belt isn't Regular anymore.

    Pacs got this if it goes down. Rolly was a sucker for grandpa Barrosos left and Pac definitely showed last week that he still has enough in the tank to get it done.
