    Prediction:
     
    Barrera to win by Decision
     
    I admit I'm no expert when it comes to boxing but I have been decent with my predictions on bigfights.
     
    These are the variables why to fade Pacquiao on this match:
     
    >  This is the first time Manny trained in the Philippines for a bigfight.. He even workout in Wildcard Gym when he faced Larios.  This only shows that he's taking Barrera lightly, he cannot or must not underestimate a "heart of a champion" in Barrera.  Or else, he will be kissing the canvas early.
     
    > Greener Pasture.  Yes, money talks on this fight.  Enumerated as follows:
    1.)  Pacman sold the rights to telecast from ABS-CBN to GMA for a higher price.
    2.)  He just recently lost the elections and must get back his investments.  The only source-of-income of Manny is from Boxing.
    3.) If he losses, a third match will be arranged.  Another paycheck (estimated around $3M each) for the bout will be issued.
    4.) Odds in Vegas favoring Pacquiao is in an all-time high.
     
    I've seen it with Holyfield and seen in with Tyson before..  Pacquiao can come up to the ring Saturday night (Sunday morning Manila Time) and have his hands tied around his waist.  Just like how Brian Viloria showcased in a title bout.
     
    > Golden Boy, the promoter of Barrera publicly said Pacquiao is better than his boxer.. This will give Marco a much needed urge to prove otherwise and that his boxing career is not finished.
     
    > Revenge factor also for Barrera.. Not for himself but also for his country.
     
    Ofcourse, we will not witness Pacquiao being TKOed or KOed on this match..  These boxers have pride and will accept defeat standing up. 
     
    This fight will go to the scorecards and expect Pacman to complain that he was cheated in the scores.. But obviously Barrera outfought him the whole bout.
     
    Or maybe expect a lame excuse from Manny of having a flu or whatever before and during the fight..
     
    Barrera, over 10.5 rounds..  1 unit each.
     
    Note:  These bets are for amusement only.  This is good for a pay-per-view, 3 cases of Sanmig Light, 1 rim Marlboro Lights, 1 liter Johnny Walker Black and 1 medium sized roasted pig.

    I don't see any of the reasons mentioned being anywhere close to solid for putting money on Barrera.

    Pac destroyed Barrera the first time outlanding Barrera 2 to 1 and eventually KO'ing him.

    This fight will go the distance Manny aint taking this serious, the over under round line will tell you it's going the distance, why would the under be -115 considering Manny beat his ass last time and is thought to even be a better fighter at the current time.

    This fight will go the distance and will need the scorecards to determine the outcome of the fight.

    This is the Barreras last fight, so i dont think he will get a desicion if he gets there.Barrera told the press he fought Marquez for money and not to win the fight,what kind of fighter is that?? Will you trust a fighter like that? nooooooooo!! now he has to fight a monster,so it will be a long night for Barrera,and i think BARRERA WILL NOT WIN THIS FIGHT.I dont see it.
