Contenders
Manny Pacquiao
The Filipino boxer is currently serving as a Senator in his home country but hasn't completely given up professional boxing. He reportedly retired in 2016 after a fight against Timothy Bradley that netted him $20 million, but that wasn't to be. In 2019, he was crowned the oldest welterweight world champion, at 40 years of age. Over the course of a long and lucrative career, Pacquiao defeated 22 world champions including Antonio Barrera, Érik Morales, David Díaz, Ricky Hatton and Keith Thurman.
Errol Spence Jr
The current welterweight champion, 31-year-old Spence has held the IBF title since 2017 and the WBC title since 2019. He also represented the US at the 2012 Olympics, reaching the quarter-finals. While his career has been shorter, it has been equally notable. Spence has defeated Javier Castro, Samuel Vargas, Phil Lo Greco and Alejandro Barrera. In 2019, he defeated Shawn Porter with the IBF and WBC welterweight titles on the line. Later that year, he suffered a car crash that sidelined him for 15 months. He returned in December 2020 to dominate Danny Garcia, showing no signs of weakness from the crash.

Who are fans betting on?
With their reputations, both men stand a good chance in the fight. Right now, it seems like a good fight is exactly what Twitter wants, but clearly, all eyes are on PacMan. One person commented, "Manny Pacquiao, at 42 years of age, a full-time Filipino senator, coming off a two-year layoff, has just signed to fight prime champion Errol Spence on August 21st. That’s true greatness, win or lose."
Another tweeted, "Pacquiao is a legend man, 42 year old and still pushing himself to face the very best after a long lay off." Another claimed, "Pacquiao forever a f----- GOAT. I never was a big fan but this move is the ballsiest shit I’ve seen since Morales switched southpaw on him.
