[BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo

[Quidat]

Here are some videos of Manny doing some training for this fight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcxvQmBLxdQ

Dude has still the speed and footwork and obviously those punches have power behind it. I still think that Manny can still pull the trigger and can win 90% against the current 147 lbs boxers that we have right now.

And there are Koreans in the background also filming this fight to show to DK Yoo, hehehehe.

Doesnt matter if that training or sparring session would leak out and be shown to DK yoo.This isnt an official match which means that everything could be exposed
and there's no difference into that.When it comes to speed and power then we could actually say that he had still the shot on fighting in todays fighters but well
he had made out the decision and now focuses on having these exhibition fights but well its still appreciable considering that earnings would really
go into those charities or something connected on it.

Thanks!

It's a great coincidence that I've seen some of Manny's video in the Running Man episodes and he seems really enjoying on that show. I now understand why he's there.

It's a lot of commitment that he flew there to South Korea. From those TV guestings, to training and with the upcoming fight against DK Yoo since the venue is there in SK.

A lot of people.would probably be watching this just to see Pacman go in the ring again though of coursw with less intensity. Most probably, the stadium would not be filled by hardcore fans of boxings but jusr of enthusiasts. Pacman still has the power punches and speed at his disposal, but DK Yoo is still a formidable opponent that also has a lot power packing in his every punch.

I think Manny is still good for a few years of exhibition matches that can still be exciting for the public to watch until it is exciting no more.

At least when it comes to Manny I think we are still going to see him when he is still a good boxer, the exhibition fights that we are watching these days include stars of other sports that are not good boxers, social media personalities and old boxers which had not gotten above the ring for a very long time, at least in the case of Manny we know he can box and he can do it at a high enough level to actually give a decent exhibition fight and it is one of the few I would be interested in watching.

Well I agree with you, right now seeing all the things that have been happening in boxing and since the World Cup in Qatar is very close it would not be bad if a good round of good boxing comes, I do want to see Pacquiao on display or however he is going to fight I have a very good opinion of the Filipino, for me he is one of the best in the world, because his mastery in technique is unique, I think he is one of the boxers who should never give up boxwear if they feel they can keep going, no matter how old you are, you know that as long as your body works well and your muscles are in shape, it's enough for me.

I wonder if this is an exhibition match, and therefore to a greater extent a contractual match, then how in this case you can bet on it, because this is manipulation and insider in its purest form and relying on Pacquiao's skill here is very reckless.

I think this is just a like charity event, since it was reported that the funds raised in this event probably from broadcast rights and ticket sales will be donated to the homeless in the Philippines as well as the to Ukrainians, I don't think any sportsbook will hold this bet.

Indeed! And I guess we can call this as an exhibition fight with a cause because Pacquiao swore that he will donate all the revenue to the chosen charity (except DK Yoo's TF) that will be generated on this fight including his PPV-buys income. Surely this will be a sold-out fight and lots of PPV buys because Pacquiao's presence in the ring is already missed by a lot of people around the word including his fans and it's a good sight to see him fighting again. I hope he will give an entertaining fight like giving DK Yoo a punch that he cannot forget

Well yes, you are right about that, even though it is an exhibition fight it is something that fills me a lot, at least we will see Pacquiao again with his gloves and give us a good show, I honestly think that Pacquia is very much needed in the sport, I don't know, but he's one of those boxers who should never retire, like Tyson, he began to retire and well, the ravages of the years have given him some ailments that I'm sure if he hadn't quit boxing he wouldn't have them, when one stop doing what you like the most, this kind of thing can happen, so both for health and sport, you shouldn't give up this sport.

Not bad:

Manny Pacquiao uses wild hologram technology to face off vs DK Yoo ahead of exhibition

The cutting edge technology allowed Pacquiao to respond naturally to his opponent as they faced off, despite not being in the same room. DK Yoo, who boasts over 600,000 Youtube subscribers, was involved in the unusual virtual staredown with the 'PacMan' in Thursday's press conference in Los Angeles.

It was the first time the technology has ever been used to promote a combat sports event, and it appeared to have achieved its objective by drawing eyes towards the fight in an otherwise non-eventful press event.

I guess you didn't get the sarcasm here, obviously this is  for fun and pure entertainment, even you can see how to toy and play with his best friend on his sparring.

Right, he has to promote it the usual, and it seems that the South Korean audience really loves Manny already.

And for sure this will be a very successful start for Pacquiao in the world of exhibition matches and he made the right decision to start it with DK Yoo.

Yeah not like in normal fight that the fighter must hide every activities they will have to prevent from the opponents team so they cannot counterattack their strategy , I think that with this?  Manny or even DK will let anyone sees their training and sparring as transparency will not effect the result because of their good plans to help the in need.

still looking for entertaining box from these 2 great boxers.

Manny is used to traveling a lot, so I guess this is just one of those from him and then then the TV guesting and exposure of him in the Korean market, that is already a win win for DK Yoo in South Korea as he can expend his fans based even more.

Based on the video, nothing has change, Manny still has that speed in him, it's really in-born I guess that's whey even if he aged, he still possesses that and probably the power too. And there are probably a lot of TV guesting for Manny as the fight is still very far.

Wow! The video shows that Pacquiao still fit and his body movements still firm I will agree that he can still win a fight on this current division, maybe if by chance that he will be able to step back with a real fight he can still be a good challenge for the belt. A lot of schedules for Pacquiao in S. Korea. After throwing lots of money from the last presidential elections, he needed to work hard to sustain his charities.

Something that fans also admire with him, he always has that part of his earnings to provide with those many charities that he is sponsoring, a win-win for fans and viewers..

[TopTort777]

We don't really know what's real or not these days because of these collabs of YouTubers, we cannot even tell if they're telling the truth or not or if it's scripted. That's why in this fight, I don't have any high hopes that Pacquiao will show DK Yoo what boxing is because this is just an exhibition fight and in the end of the day, both of them will smiling because they garnered Millions again, but this time is okay because the proceeds will go for the charity.

I think a lot of people expect DK Yoo to be (or to become) same YouTube celebrity as Jake Paul, as they both are connected with combat sport. Maybe the whole idea of this fight is to create "their own Jake Paul". Perhaps they might succeed in it. But success will be concentrated mostly on Asian territory. I think for majority, the name Manny Pacquiao is well known, even to those who are far from boxing. But the name DK Yoo is an empty sound. Before googling, I did not even know about him. I understand that the goal of this boxing fight is charity, and to make boxing more popular. But I doubt that they will have a huge progress in it.

Jake Paul in Asia, well, I like that, but he will be different from Jake Paul because DK Yoo will never be undefeated, if this is his first fight, then most likely he will lose as Manny Pacman will not allow to lose despite it's just an exhibition fight. Both have their goal, so it's hard to believe DK Yoo will win.

[goldkingcoiner]

^^ For sure, Manny will find a lot of loopholes that he can exploited against DK Yoo. And that's what Manny is going to do, make his miss and then counter and if he ever gets tired then Manny might go easy or go for a quick knock out win.

However, since this is just a exhibition match, and it seems that Manny is training lightly and he is doing it with Jinky Pacquiao, Lol. And yes, the proceed will go for a good cause in the Philippines (not sure about Ukraine, this is the first time that I hear it). But what excites us is that we can see Manny again in the ring even if this is just for fun.

Yeah just seeing him back inside the ring will difinitely exite the fans, enough for them to support and buy tickets. Yoo's fighting capabilities if compared to Pacquiao is way far but again, it's the audiences that he have from his youtube and other social media accounts that counts in this fight. If most of it will be converted to a views and ticket sales then this exhibtion will collect huge chuncks of money and both figthers will be able to fulfill the desire of donating the money to thier chosen charities.

Obviously Manny is going to show him what a real fight looks like.

Hopefully he will not heavily injure  DK Yoo.

Manny is not going to show that what real fight looks like. First of all, because this is an exhibition fight. Second - what is a real fight? Fight till one of the opponents surrender or dies? So far Manny has been noticed in amateur and professional boxing fights

Do you know that Manny Pacquiao has a YouTube channel with almost 870k subscribers. His fight against DK Yoo is just a collaboration with other YouTube blogger

I think that DK Yoo will practice few combos, few strikes and have a strong believe, that Manny will stand still, like DK Yoo opponents in videos, and he will show that one strike he has mastered. Like one super speed punch that will throw Manny into ropes. But in reality, he will be shocked and knocked down (and the fight will be stopped) when Manny turns his "speed" switch into "on" position.

We don't really know what's real or not these days because of these collabs of YouTubers, we cannot even tell if they're telling the truth or not or if it's scripted.

Same with how I assess this exhibition, at the end of the day both will simply give the smile to all the fans that will support the intentions of this fight. Charity works and good paycheck from the promoter and advertisers.

Manny Pacquiao has been known in the past for being a very charitable person so I don't doubt that at least his proceeds will go to a good cause. As far as DK Too is concerned, I would think the media attention is his main goal, since he is an influencer more than anything else. Exhibition match or not, this is not going to be a fight where DK looks good...

[PX-Z]

Never heard this one before, thanks for this.

Although an exhibit fight is not new to us but the difference of this unlike mayweather is that pacquiao do it to help/donate not for himself anymore since this guy have everything he have already. Kudos always to pacman of good doings.

It doesn't matter what's the purpose, some boxers would say they'll give to a charity for publicity, hopefully, Pacman is true to his statement that he would really donate the proceeds. I mean, he is a politician, we know how politics work in the Philippines and we know how politicians think.

Yes, that the one of the good sides of this exhibition match. The other is literally for entertainment purposes only. Who doesn't want to see PacMan live?
We all want to hear that thunder-like sound punches even if you are not on the ring side.
At this age of him, it won't matter if he loses or win as long as his fans can have a chance to take a glimpse at how he does it. I would pay for that if the fight were near me.
It will be rewarding for both fighters and the fans of Manny.

Not every boxer though, and don't compare pacman to them. This man has his words when it comes to helping. Him being a politician is also because of desire to help in broader way although it came to be overboard of what he desires for positions which is what people don't like about him.

But for helping? He already do it before he became a politician even doing it when he became one of them.

manny pacman is a legendary boxer has billions of supporters around the world, honestly during the prime of pacman to yell you honestly that while pacman is in the ring then most people in may country will give some extra time to see pacman fighting in the ring. In this fight even if this is a exhibition game with DK Yoo then for sure many people want to see how manny pacman fight in his age.

[freedomgo]

I am surprised no one is talking about this here yet, I guess it's probably because no one really knows who DK Yoo is(even I don't know who he is).

anyway, Manny Pacquiao is having an exhibition match against DK Yoo in a boxing match on December 10. I am not that interested in who he is fighting but I'd still watch the fight because I want to see Pacquiao in the ring again. besides, Pacquiao said that he'd give us a "real fight"(he said in one of the articles I've read) which I hope he would actually do.

also, I saw in one of the articles that Proceeds from the event will be donated to the homeless in the Philippines and families affected in Ukraine.

They are only having an exhibition match so its nothing all too special, really. I think thats mainly the reason why nobody is paying much attention. Although I find it very awesome that proceeds from the event will be going to a good cause. Hopefully they raise a lot of money!

I do not know DK Yoo's history other than he is more of a youtuber than a fighter, but he seems like a small fish. And just because Pacquiao is 43 and now retired from professional boxing does not mean that Yoo stands a ghost of a chance against the Pacman. I mean cmon, seriously.

Obviously Manny is going to show him what a real fight looks like.

Aside from Pacquiao's return on the ring, the thing that get me interested too is because of the twist that they will be donating the proceeds to their chosen charity. Pacquiao being Pacquiao again, classic! Surely they can raise a ton of money from this fight because DK Yoo is quite famous too in South Korea and Pacquiao is a legendary boxer who is missed from the ring.

If you search DK Yoo on the internet, there's just few article and information about DK Yoo and maybe that is because he is not a fighter himself and truth is that he is really a YouTuber rather than a fighter.

All the proceeds or just part of it?

As a boxer, I think he also needs to earn for himself, and since the total proceeds of the fight can be confidential, then he can just declare any amount he would like to donate. I'm not questioning his intention, I'm just saying that not everything shall be donated.

...the former eight-division world champion wants to use his exhibition earnings to fund projects for homeless Filipinos.

https://www.rappler.com/sports/boxing/pacquiao-insists-no-comeback-dk-yoo-charity-fight-rolls-on/

Well, not all the proceeds because DK Yoo's share is not part of it but for Manny Pacquiao's share, as he said, all his share will be used to fund his chosen charity. Anyway, that is not new anymore because even when he was still fighting professionally, he is already known to give money to the homeless people in his country.

I don't really know what to think about this. I really like Manny Pacquiao as a fighter usually but now even he is starting with that stupid exhibition matches. I disliked those stupid exhibition matches from the start and i did not watch a single one of them. The only thing i watched was the highlights of the fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. because i just had to watch Mike Tyson. In general i think all those exhibition matches of Logan and Jake Paul or whatever stupid celebrities or influencers are really hurting the boxing sport as a whole.
Also i think it is time for Pacquiao to retire. He is 43 years now and it would hurt his legacy if he keeps on fighting much longer and gets more losses.

Get used to it man, this is the trend now, retired fighters are fighting popular social media celebrities for money, and I would say it's an easy money because a fight can be scripted and no one would complain since it's just for the purpose of entertainment, from the word "exhibition" fight.

[lionheart78]

Here are some videos of Manny doing some training for this fight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcxvQmBLxdQ

Dude has still the speed and footwork and obviously those punches have power behind it. I still think that Manny can still pull the trigger and can win 90% against the current 147 lbs boxers that we have right now.

Watching Manny's training session is somehow refreshing.  We thought he doesn't have the speed and yet he shows he still has the speed and stings needed to compete against the boxing title.  I think if Manny is to fight his "natural weight" division, he can still win a championship belt.

And there are Koreans in the background also filming this fight to show to DK Yoo, hehehehe.

Hehehee, I wonder what would be DK Yoo's strategy to counter this training routine of Manny.

An exhibition fight isn't stupid.  It isn't like a normal boxing fight where the aim is to get the opponent defeated or knockdown.  The exhibition fight is different, this is to entertain viewers, as stated in one of the replies in this forum, this is possibly a vloggers collaboration to entertain their fans and followers since both DK and Manny have a social media channel and being followed by millions of people.  Collaboration is normal between streamers.

That is much likely even if they will say mainly Manny Pacquiao that they will prepare so much for this fight just to entertain their fans around the world. Even if we'll turn the world upside-down, this is still an exhibition fight. They won't really sweat it because this not a pro-fight that they should take seriously and Pacquiao won't surely give DK Yoo a hard time.
