Manny Pacquiao's bid to become the first four-decade world champion ended in a majority draw against WBC welterweight titleholder Mario Barrios. Despite a less explosive performance than usual due to limited training, Pacquiao showed remarkable endurance. Barrios, utilizing a consistent jab, secured a 115-113 victory on one card and two 114-114 draws, retaining his title. Both fighters expressed interest in a rematch, with Pacquiao citing his shortened training period due to Philippine elections.
