Fighters Display Sharp Form at Final Media Workout Ahead of July 19 PBC Mega Card in Las Vegas

Fighters competing in Saturday’s action-packed Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) Pay-Per-View event took center stage at a media workout Wednesday in Las Vegas, offering a final glimpse of their preparation before stepping into the ring on July 19 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Headlining the card is a historic clash between boxing legend and Hall of Famer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and reigning WBC Welterweight World Champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios, a bout that marks Pacquiao’s return to the ring in pursuit of yet another world title.

Also featured in the co-main event are WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora and Australian star Tim Tszyu, who face off in a high-stakes rematch.

The undercard is equally stacked, highlighted by a heated 12-round rematch between Mexican rivals Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and Angel Fierro, and a WBA Featherweight Title Eliminator between former unified world champion Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa and contender Joet Gonzalez, which opens the pay-per-view broadcast at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

Preliminary bouts begin earlier on PBC on Prime Video, headlined by former world champion Gary Russell Jr., undefeated rising star David “Rey” Picasso, and Filipino standout Mark “Magnifico” Magsayo.

Fans can purchase the pay-per-view through Prime Video, PPV.com, or traditional cable and satellite outlets. Tickets are available now at AXS.com.
