A 46-year-old Pacquiao, boxing professionally for the first time since 2021, challenged Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title

Manny Pacquiao's return to the ring at the weekend after a four-year hiatus marked the latest example of a boxer well past his prime who could not resist the temptation of the squared circle and a chance to add to his competitive legacy.

Saturday's scorecards robbed Pacquiao of a legendary win befitting a legendary career. They also stole from him something more precious — time.

Manny Pacquiao, who at 46 fought reigning WBC welterweight Mario Barrios to a majority draw, explained the source of his astonishing stamina.

But Pacquiao, in the end, fell just short on the judges' scorecards as Mario Barrios escaped with a majority draw to retain the WBC welterweight championship. Two judges scored the bout a draw, and judge Max DeLuca awarded Barrios a 115-113 victory. The Associated Press scored the fight 115-113 in favor of Pacquiao.

Emmanuel "Jimuel" Pacquiao's boxing debut will be coming at a later date, rather then right before his father's return to the ring.
