“It’s Madness” – Hearn on Pacquiao’s Title Fight

Eddie Hearn, head of Matchroom Boxing, has reacted to the announcement of Manny Pacquiao’s upcoming WBC welterweight title fight against Mario Barrios, calling the situation outright bizarre.

All the champions are on Jaron “Boots” Ennis’ radar, but I still think Pacquiao fighting for a world title is madness.

Five years out of the ring and nowhere near world level… But that’s boxing. That’s the business. We get it. All Boots wants is to fight champions.

As long as he’s campaigning at welterweight, he should be fighting champions.”

The bout between Mario Barrios and Manny Pacquiao is scheduled for July 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
