BARSTOW, Californa–Manny Pacquiao came close to making history after his comeback fight against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios ended in a majority draw Saturday night. The result was widely deemed dubious,

But Pacquiao, in the end, fell just short on the judges' scorecards as Mario Barrios escaped with a majority draw to retain the WBC welterweight championship. Two judges scored the bout a draw, and judge Max DeLuca awarded Barrios a 115-113 victory. The Associated Press scored the fight 115-113 in favor of Pacquiao.

For Gibbons, the younger, taller Barrios didn’t do anything special in his 12-round tango with Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Garden Arena to retain his belt — let alone earn a second career-high payday against Pacquiao.

It’s going to be a big sports weekend, as the Open Championship continues, plus UFC 318 and Pacquiao vs. Barrios are headlining events on Saturday. With our exclusive BetMGM bonus code MLIVE, you can wager just $10 on any market and snare $150 in bonus bets if the initial bet is graded as a winner.
