Manny Pacquiao says he wants a rematch against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios after missing out on the title on his return to boxing.
The 46-year-old Filipino, making his return to the ring four years after retiring, was held to a majority draw by 30-year-old Barrios at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
One judge scored the fight 115-113 in Barrios' favour, while the other two scored it 114-114.
Pacquiao, who has won 12 world titles across eight weight divisions, was ahead on the judges' scorecards going into the 10th round but lost the last three.
"I thought I won the fight," Pacquiao said. "It was a close fight. My opponent was very tough. It was a wonderful fight."
Asked if he wants a rematch, he said: "Yes, of course."
Pacquiao became the oldest fighter to win the welterweight title when he did so at the age of 40 in 2019.
No fighter has won a major world title after being inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame - Pacquiao was given the honour in June 2025.
