Pacquiao, 47, near December WBA, the title of battle with Romero

Mane Bacoyao in negotiations, where he put the finishing touches on a battle to challenge Rolando Rolio Romero to get the WBA Welterweight title in December.

It is a battle that has a very little meaning, and there is no high level of attention. Rolly is seen as a paper hero, and Bakoyao as a honesty of the past does not belong to the titles of the world of his developed age.

Age factor: Pacquiao in 47

Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOS) gets a second consecutive world title after his fight with a controversial majority against Mario Barius, the hero of WBC on July 19, 2025, in Las Vegas. The Philippine star Pacoyao did not look at everything in his battle against Barius.

The skills that had been left one day were, and the only reason that was not eliminated was how the poor Barius seemed.

“We are negotiating and ending,” Mane Bacoyao said via Dazen about a fight against Rouley Romero.

The match is already criticized by fans, who feel that Pacquiao does not deserve to struggle for a world title. He is 47 years old on December 17 and only once fought in the past four years since 2021.

It is seen as an unfair battle that has nothing to do with sports and everything related to business. The battles of the world title are supposed to be obtained through entitlement, not granted on the basis of popularity.

What about Shassram Jassbov?

Pacquiao is allowed to jump before the mandatory WBA competitor Shassam GiasovWho has been waiting since June 17, 2023, the title of its world title after the defeat of Harold Calderon, unanimously from 12 rounds in the title.

A year later in September 2024, WBA ordered the battle between the former weight hero Eimantas Stanionis and Giyasov. Instead of the occurrence of that battle, Stainone fought and then the IBF Jaron ennis champion in the unification struggle on April 12, 2025.

Jassbouov aside, allowing combating monotheism between these two. The battle winner was supposed to defend Jassbov within 120 days. Ennis chose to evacuate his IBF and WBA titles to move to 154 after Stanone’s defeat. Then Rolly was raised to the WBA Welterweight champion on August 1, 2025, after Ennis’s decision to evacuate and move to 154.

Rolly size feature on Pacquiao

Rolly looked huge, similar to the novice weight, after re -hydration for his fight against Ryan Garcia on May 2, 2025. The size was large for the former competitor of the light weight Ryan to deal with him, and ended up with a loss of Romero by a 12 -day decision over 12. Rolli should fight at 154 at this stage of his career.
