[BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo

[Sithara007]

The fight was long finished, I'm wondering why the thread isn't locked yet. I guess, this is gonna be a new thread for Manny's next fine then?
OP should either close the thread or rename the thread, just my 2 cents.

I don't think that Manny Pacquiao will be involved in anymore exhibition fights. He is already 44 years old and nowadays he is not giving much attention to boxing. He won the match against DK Yoo in a quite convincing manner, but over time his boxing skills will deteriorate. Already he has participated in 3 exhibition fights after his retirement, starting with the 2022 fight against Haha. Also, he is quite vocal about his political ambitions. His 2022 presidential campaign wasn't very successful, but I am sure that he is planning something big in politics.

We'll see about that soon because as of now, Manny Pacquiao is currently busy with his career in exhibition fight. Let's just give the legend some time as he just came back and after all, this is his passion and the sports he loved the most. I'm much more excited on his 2nd bout compared to his 1st with DK Yoo.

Just like the rest been saying that this had become the trend but i do see some headline in this regards.

Floyd Mayweather responds to exhibition fights criticism: 'Currency over legacy'
https://www.marca.com/en/boxing/2022/11/16/63754f72e2704e2a5c8b45a3.html

So this basically for the money but you cant really avoid for boxing fans to have those criticisms which
i do partly agree with those sentiments. It is really becoming the trend now.

I agree with Floyd Mayweather Jr.. Why his critics care if he wants to participate in a few exhibition matches? If they don't like these matches, then no one is forcing them to watch. And what is wrong if he cares about money? Afterall, boxing is just like any other profession. Who will participate in matches for free? The career is quite short and athletes need to earn money that will assure a comfortable retired life for them. I have a feeling that these critics are just jealous about people like Floyd being able to bring in so much money.

This is actually true, its not really that surprising nor shocking that making money is really part of the game and any sports out there which it would be normal that someone would be aiming to have more income whether

it would be on an official match or exhibition ones which it doesnt really matter.Its true that they might really be that jealous just because Mayweather is really just making huge money out of these fights
despite of being a retired boxer.It is really true that if people doesnt really like to watch then dont watch, no one forces them to do so but still there are people who do loves
to see and witness these fights and thats where money do comes in and same goes into other exhibition fights as well.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is perhaps the richest sportsperson in recorded history. He received a record $300 million for his last fight against McGregor, which none of the other sportsmen can dream about. The good thing about Floyd is that he never splurged his wealth or misspent it. He was careful with his money. And also, he never overstretched himself. He retired at the age of 40, when a lot of critics were of the opinion that he had at least 2-3 years left. Given all this, I don't think that anyone can accuse him of being money minded.

Does it matter? Mayweather surely knows a lot of critics that criticized him again and again about his aim in the world of boxing, surely nobody could blame him if he wanted Millions from his fights and still earning himself a big paycheck in every exhibition bout. Of course, every athletes/fighters/boxers are about the money. I don't really believe if someone would say that it's not the money they want because money is just a big factor when it comes to sports.

And Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not the richest sportsperson record in the history, he is one of them only because it turns out that he's only worth $450 Million.
Michael Jordan is at the top with a net worth of a whopping $1.7 Billion, followed by Tiger Woods and LeBron James in the Billionaire status.

$300M for real? With a match against a professional athlete for other combat sports. That's totally a lot of money and contract for him. That's a big payday for him and he's certainly fits to the alias that he's got, Money.
I agree that Floyd in terms of his wealth, he knows how to handle it. People may see him boasting all about it but that's not the point, he's worked hard for it wherever and whatever his financial situation right now.

Floyd has two of the biggest PPV in history if I'm not mistaken, against Manny and Conor, so yeah the figure could be true. But I'm not sure if he is the richest sportsperson, probably the biggest and richest in the football player who can even get as high as $1 billion as salary with all the perks.

Anyhow, I find this numbers very interesting and I'm not sure if someone has posted this already:

And it's probably open up for another discussion?

[Eureka_07]

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).

<snip>

Woah, this was 2 weeks ago already? I was not even aware that this event happened. I suppose because it's only an exhibition match.
I am watching it right now. It's a great experience for an amateur like DK Yoo, not everyone can have this opportunity. Manny could have ended the match on the first rounds, but I believe he chose not to so the game can be more entertaining.

He secured his future, and he didn't change his mind set when in terms of money, he keeps collecting when he see opportunities he will grab
and add it in his savings.

That fight with McGregor give both fighters a huge number of profits, an exhibition fight where fans and sponsors really bite up and
allow these fighters to convert their names into a huge money-making machine.

Hardwork with good management of his finances is equal to Money Floyd.

$300m truly is likely a real figure but you're also right that one of the biggest paid will be from Football players and they're also popular just as Floyd and Manny. But one thing for sure, every endorsement they do and every action they make, makes headlines.

He secured his future, and he didn't change his mind set when in terms of money, he keeps collecting when he see opportunities he will grab

Yup, I've watched him talk about his finances and I'm just happy and admires him a lot. Before I was a hater but that's inside the ring. But going outside and how he works with all of his stuff, he's an admirable guy.

On the contrary. Floyd is one of the most spendthrift athletes of this age. He regularly balls and wastes money because he knows he can make it in a fight or two given his status and fighting prowess. There had been multiple accounts of him going in massive debts from countless nights of gambling, booze, cars, and women. He tries so hard to paint a picture of himself as a very rich person with all these things but in reality, his pockets run dry sometimes too.

Take Mcgregor for example, I think I'm already going off a tangent here but Mcgregor is a good exampld of someone who knows he makes a lot of money, and spends it well. He may ball here and there given his vast collection of cars, a million dollar estate, and plenty more treasures to boot, but you can bet your ass he'll never be broke because of his wise saving choices and a wife that controls his habits every now and then.

And it's probably open up for another discussion?

We have been discussing about it though, but we don't have the exact figures on how much each one will get. So maybe this is the right numbers, so again maybe the question is that will Manny gave all the money to charity? or will he have something for him in the pockets and for his entourage, including wife Jinky who traveled with him and of course his trainer/buddy, Buboy Fernandez?

As for Floyd, yeah, you really have to admire that guy outside of the boxing arena because unlike many boxers who squandered their fortunes, Floyd did know how to save and invest his money on the right way that's why he continue to make millions even if he decided to really not fight in those exhibition matches.

Did make out some research and lets just choose up one of the few investments on what Mayweather have.

So it does mean that there are boxers who hadnt made out some investments yet out of their winnings? Actually its none of our business on how they do handle
up their winning funds.People are really just too curious about personal things.

Is this what we need to discuss or what? kidding aside, whatever Manny decides where to bring the money for sure portions of that earnings will be on his supported charities, knowing this man, he always have that heart to help it is an open book and he continue doing that while he's on the senate and not inside the ring.

As for Floyd, yeah, you really have to admire that guy outside of the boxing arena because unlike many boxers who squandered their fortunes, Floyd did know how to save and invest his money on the right way that's why he continue to make millions even if he decided to really not fight in those exhibition matches.

I like the way he secured all his earnings. He's making more while letting his money to work for him, and like you, I think even he will not fight any exhibitions. All those investments can support his leisure in life.

Yes mate, that's true! Floyd Mayweather Jr. earned a whopping $300 Million in his fight against Conor McGregor while the latter have earned $100 Million, I guess PPV shares are already included and computed along the reported figures. Somehow that figures doesn't surprise me anymore because Mayweather and McGregor is the stars and most controversial athletes in their respective sports, so surely, an impressive revenue will be generated upon their collision.

I have learned that it is Floyd's biggest paycheck, 2nd biggest is his fight against the legendary Manny Pacquiao that earned himself $250M.

[btc_angela]

I guess this thread needs to be lock up, turning to be out of topic, discussing Floyd now. And it's been a week if I'm not mistaken since this week has taken place, Manny won the hearts of his fans again in his performance.

And we heard that part of the proceeds will go to his native country and some to help the cause of Ukraine in their war against Russian.

I already PM the OP to lock this thread for good.

[TravelMug]

Before we close this thread though, I was surprised to read that Manny has signed the Japanese promoter Rizin,

Manny Pacquiao is taking his talents to Japan.

The 44-year-old boxing legend announced on Saturday that he’s inked a deal with Rizin to compete in the promotion in 2023 against an opponent still to be determined. Pacquiao appeared in the ring during the Rizin 40 card where he addressed the crowd at the Saitama Super Arena.

https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/12/31/23533315/manny-pacquiao-announces-he-signed-rizin-with-plans-to-fight-in-2023

So I guess there's no stopping Manny now for having this kind of exhibition fight this 2023.

And probably this is good, I mean he said that he is willing to face any of the current champion at 147 lbs in professional level, but we all know that he will be damage by either Spence or Crawford, so much better to stick with exhibition matches, just saying.

[LUCKMCFLY]

As reported his next fight will be against his former sparring partner Jaber Zayani and it will be held in Saudi Arabia.

MANILA, Philippines—Manny Pacquiao is set for another exhibition fight this time, against his former sparring mate Jaber Zayani in Saudi Arabia next year.

https://sports.inquirer.net/477665/manny-pacquiao-set-for-saudi-exhibition-next-year

So whether we like it or not, Manny will continue this kind of match, not sure though if the next fight will be for the charity again or he will get the full money. In any case, he has been helping many of his countryman specially this Christmas when he comes back to the Philippines after his fight with DK.

It's just going to be a few months away. I think there's no charity involved in this but I'm sure with what he said, whether it's said or not that this exhibition match is for charity.
He's always too generous to give a portion of it to his townsmen, he's got a lot of houses built already out of his pocket and he said that he's not going to stop but will continue this that he has started.

So this becomes the trend now, on which retired boxers are making and deal off with exhibition matches? Some might not really be that caring at all because its peoples choice whether they would watch and support

it or would be just totally be saying "meh" into their minds.As for fan of Pacquiao then you would be liking him to see up in the ring but since he's fighting off on something which isnt really in his level
then you could already expect on what would be the result and that what makes these fights arent interesting anymore.

Charitable actions or something like are very common but what i do matter most is that i should really be at least entertained if i do see a fight or match.

What I want to see is an exhibition of Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather, but this time that Mayweather is not going to run into the ring, and that instead of running he faces as he always should have been, firstly that he does not run and secondly that I gave Pacquiao a good revenge, that should be an exhibition fight that promised, for me it would be in one of the best in the world, do you think that could happen? It is that if they do something like this, it would be in great demand, it is the possibility that one has to be able to see these two inside a ring and without any possibility of them saying that they do not want or that they do want revenge.



However, now we can hope that Pacquiao can give good news, because in this we believe that Pacquiao will have a great performance in his fights, as good fans, we hope that they can continue offering us good fights, whoever he is with, but let us see Pacquiao with the boxing gloves giving everything, in my case I plan to continue enjoying the good movements that the Filipino makes, he is a legend and I prefer to see him in exhibition fights than not being with boxing anymore, perhaps many of us will keep the hope of to celebrate again even if it is 1 fight that can be done in professional mode.



Manny Pacquiao expected to fight exhibition in 2023 for Rizin

By Allan Fox: 44-year-old Manny Pacquiao has made a deal with Rizin Fighting Federation of Japan to fight in 2023 in what is expected to be another exhibition match for the retired former eight-division world champion from the Philippines.

Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) revealed the information about his signing with Rizin on New Years’ eve, but he didn’t say who his opponent will be and what type of fight. Manny last fought on December 11th in an exhibition, beating influencer DK Yoo.

Pacquiao is still hoping 45-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr will choose to fight him in a rematch, which would likely be an exhibition match if it were to happen. Mayweather is doing strictly exhibition matches now and reportedly making a lot of money despite the lack of enthusiasm from the boxing public in these events.

Pacquiao’s last fight before retiring was against Yordenis Ugas on August 21, 2021, in which he lost by a 12 round unanimous decision with the scores of 115-113, 116-112, and 116-112.

Well now we all hope that he can have a fight even in exhibition mode with Mayweather:

Moving down in weight to the 140 or 135-lb divisions likely would have extended Pacquiao’s career, but nevertheless, he opted to retire in September 2021.

“Pacquiao is likely to take part in an exhibition boxing match following the success of those types of bouts in Japan with Floyd Mayweather,” said Marc Raimondi to ESPN.

“Pacquiao’s rival Mayweather has done two exhibition boxing matches with Rizin, in 2018 and in September. For the latter, Pacquiao was in the front row.”

Well, the promoters have seen the potential that Manny can still have matches through exhibitions and that's going to make a lot of money that shall benefit both of them. Looking at how popular Manny is still, they can't ignore the fact that people would like to watch him as he retires.
Whoever started this exhibition matches for the great retired boxers, it's really working on them and it's like a money making machine that everyone would like to pay a ticket just to watch them play the sport that they've loved even after their retirement.

Whoever started this exhibition matches for the great retired boxers, it's really working on them and it's like a money making machine that everyone would like to pay a ticket just to watch them play the sport that they've loved even after their retirement.

Yes, these boxers think of a way to enjoy their favorite sports even out of retirement. It's just a matter now of who's boxer involved and who the opponent is as people will surely not just watch an exhibition match if the involved fighter is not that popular.

Nothing really wrong about that as they are not even forcing people to watch them.

If feel annoyed by these matches, simply just ignore those and move on.
