The president of the World Boxing Council (WBC) defended the decision they made with Manny Pacquiao, which angered more than one boxer.
Mexican Mauricio Sulaiman sent a strong message to critics regarding the Filipino boxer.
How did the WBC President defend the decision they made with Manny Pacquiao that infuriates more than one boxer?
“We have a rule that allows an extraordinary boxer, such as Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez or Vitali Klitschko, to submit a petition to the council to return,” said Mauricio Sulaiman in an interview.
“While they pass the medical exams and obtain a boxer’s license from the commission where the fight will take place, we can vote to approve or deny their return. The World Boxing Council voted and approved Pacquiao to fight Barrios, and I’m surprised you’re still questioning it. Because Pacquiao himself shut you up,” added Mauricio Sulaiman
“As long as they pass medical exams and obtain a boxer’s license from the commission where the fight will take place, we can vote to approve or deny their return. The World Boxing Council voted and approved Pacquiao to fight Barrios, and I’m surprised you’re still questioning it… because Pacquiao himself shut you up,” added Mauricio Sulaiman.“Manny Pacquiao had a great fight against Barrios, and I am very satisfied with the decision of the World Boxing Council,” concluded Mauricio Sulaiman.
Let’s talk on July 20, 2025
On May 10, Mauricio Sulaiman posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, responding to a user as follows regarding Manny Pacquiao’s return: “ Remember @SugarRayLeonard? My father, Jose Sulaiman, and the WBC were criticized for staging his fight against Hagler. @MannyPacquiao has been cleared by Nevada and has passed all medical exams, and as a legendary WBC champion he has been cleared to fight by our organization. Let’s talk on July 20.”

Red Bull favourite Hadjar open to ‘way easier’ 2026 move
Isack Hadjar believes it would be "way easier" to step up to Red Bull's senior team for the start of F1's rules revolution in 2026 than has been the case, as speculation intensifies that he is in line for promotion next season.The 20-year-old Frenchman's already-impressive rookie F1 season at Racing Bulls took a further high-profile step forward at last week's Dutch Grand Prix when he claimed a maiden podium finish in third, becoming just the fourth driver in the junior team's 19-year history to finish a race in the top three.
