Manny Pacquiao headlines the night, but an anticipated undercard bout falls apart just hours before. The return of Manny Pacquiao to the ring is grabbing headlines, but the undercard for Saturday’s event in Las Vegas was also generating plenty of excitement.
Manny Pacquiao, who at 46 fought reigning WBC welterweight Mario Barrios to a majority draw, explained the source of his astonishing stamina.
