Tonight marks the return of one of the greatest of our generation. Manny Pacquiao ends his seven month retirement to return to the ring and challenge Jessie Vargas for Vargas’s WBO Welterweight title. With the fight, he attempts to become concurrently a standing senator and a world champion - a rare combination indeed. The fight is presented solely by Top Rank, as HBO opted not to air it and allowed Pacquiao out of his contract with them.
The rest of the PPV card features some well-known names. Former fighter of the year and world champion Nonito Donaire takes on Jessie Magdaleno.
