[BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo

[harizen]

Can't believe there are analysis involved in this match lol. Seriously?

It's 100% obvious that this is all about entertainment and both camps are surely talking with each other about how they will behave in the ring. Not reading the whole terms yet but this fight won't even have a declared winner at the end, or anyone can correct me on that. Regardless, the winner of this match is not that important.

As long as they fulfill their promise that part of their profit on this exhibition match will be for charity purposes, then it's good. That might be just the big reason for people to support and pay for tickets to this fight.

Lol, it can't be helped.  Fans and viewers always wanted to compare and see which one has an edge.  It is also one way of expressing their belief and trust in their chosen boxer and giving reasons why they chose this boxer.

True it might be not important but I believe they will announce one for the fans' sake

I highly agree, the charity part is the best thing in this match.

When it comes to the word "exhibition" then it do always tied up with entertainment purposes.Most of the time bookies wont really be giving out or offer odds for these particular fights since its been obvious

on whose gonna win or who do have the upperhand.This is for pure entertainment and good thing that boxers/fighters itself do really donate up their winnings on charities or simply doing charitable actions or works.

We know on how popular Pacquiao is but the opponent is somewhat not that known(for me) but since its been tied up with MP then expect that he would really be boosted
up if he's a youtuber as everybody been saying.

But DK Yoo is not a boxer purely by his profession that's why people should not even go to the point of why they chose him over him or vice-versa.

Maybe just enjoy the show as they claimed their earnings will be used for helping people.

Anyways, there's no gambling involved here as bookies won't list this match that's why maybe it's not fit for gambling-related discussions.

Exactly. I doubt both parties would take the match too seriously. It's an exhibition match, why should there be any analysis at all? Of course it might matter on the entertainment that these two fighters can bring, but in the gambling aspect of things, it shouldn't matter because the results will obviously be skewed one way or another.

I'd love to bet on this event but meh, too risky even though we know who the winner would be.

Exhibition matches have always been almost impossible to predict because there is nothing at risk, even if Manny were to lose this fight would it affect its legacy? No, because we know that he is past his best days and there is nothing else for him to prove, even his losses while he was still a professional boxer will not affect his legacy, and as such with nothing at stake the fight is not only not as interesting as it could be but very difficult to predict as Manny could look awful above the ring and no one will care.

[Heartilly]

even if Manny were to lose this fight would it affect its legacy? No,

As long as there's a charity involved, his legacy won't be ruined by doing exhibition matches.

But in my own assumption, I believed that the charity purpose is just a show-off although they will really lend help to their chosen charity. The match was organized not because of charity but because they just want to put up a show for profit, of course. The charity purpose is just the secondary goal.

because we know that he is past his best days and there is nothing else for him to prove, even his losses while he was still a professional boxer will not affect his legacy,

Manny Pacquaio can still fight, and DK Yoo is not even a hard boxer.

Is it ok for you to see Pacquiao losing against that celebrity? That will totally ruin his legacy believed me.

[Chato1977]

I wish Manny to stand in the ring again as Title Holder and will defend His title once again and not this kind of bout that only about exhibition and for benefits of need, I don;t mean tha the must not help others but  he is still young to fight for title.

and also this will bring DK Yoo into mainstream as he will be backed by the popularity of manny.

[Sarah Azhari]

The fight looks uninteresting but for the korean fans, I think it will be a full venue.

agree, this is to get more money from Korean fans. I think the interesting fight after the Korean exhibition is when Manny fight to Jaber Zayani in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Because Jaber Zayani is his partner spar in past, this fight is much interesting to show his performance to continue in a real fight with Floy Mayweather Jr and Juan Mannuel Marquez.

Well, I also wish what you said is easier said than done. Manny is 43 which is the most suitable age for a boxer to retire. Once you hit 40, that's the perfect time to think about retirement. Plus, Manny took a huge punishments out of his career as he fought 72 professional fights in a span of 26 years of his professional boxing career.
Now, asking Manny to fight once again "professionally" is a bit of a selfish thing to say. We've seen enough, we've been entertained for years, now is the time for him to enjoy his hard work and discipline.

Can't believe there are analysis involved in this match lol. Seriously?

Analytics are people too and they want to eat. That is why they generate analysis on everything, just to get paid But it makes me smile also, when people make discussions with serious faces, why a professional boxer or one of the best boxers on the planet is going to have a win over a guy that is only cool in from of the camera. I always laugh when people take those "internet warriors" seriously and present staged videos as a proof of their kick-ass super powers

Manny is a great man and no doubt we all miss him so much, I've reserving all excitement energy for December when the real fight comes. Manny has always been the man of the people and has always show great courage while fighting and tho his due for retirement, he still takes up challenges even from a YouTuber.

One great thing about him is the philanthropic nature of Manny as he has always been about his feelow countryman and the world at large and I always pray victory for him.
We love you manny and we still anticipate December match.

It won't gonna happen again because the guy had already reached his limit to fight a real boxer in the ring and I'm sure Manny already felt some lack of strength and speed due to his old age. He only can afford to fight the like of DK Yoo right now and maintain his popularity with these exhibition matches. It's not that bad because I'm sure in the future, if he won't take this fight right now, he will be ask to fight in the future.

As far as I know DK Yoo is already a popular figure in South Korean as evident of him being a youtube influencer and that is the main reason why Manny chooses him in the first place. So both of them will benefit in this fight, as the saying goes, it takes two to tango.

As for the belt, obviously, there is no title on the line, everything is for pure fun and entertainment. Manny is the pro boxer here and could win in this fight.

[danherbias07]

I didn't know about this too. No ads or news came out on my social media or in my notifications yet. I guess that's because it is still far from the fight date.

Same as you, I will watch this, but in betting, if there's available I won't do it.
Surely, they will let Manny win here to avoid defiling his protected career and reputation but I doubt the bookies will give a good amount for those who will take a bet for him.
The money will go for good so paying for PPV should be enough.

Or because this fight has no value. Besides sponsors and true fans, this fight does not attract anyone. Or because Manny (as he is the main star in this fight) is only doing it for the money. Like Floyd Mayweather exhibition fights - only few people know about it. Like his next fight against Deji Olatunji. I bet few people here knows who he is (25 y.o., a British digital content creator, actor, rapper, musician, and social media star from Watford, London). Because boxing fans does not care much about Floyd's or Manny's opponent.

The news about this is not huge as last fights made by Pacquaio but there are several news outlet raising some updates about it and I don't expect to much on this since it's just exhibition match witch both of the fighters will not give 100% since there's nothing to lose with them. Although its good for DK Yoo to be the winner since this will add huge exposure to him but I don't think he can win between this match.

An exhibition match that will give entertainment to the fans, there's no belt that in stake logically because it's just for fun and both figure are not an active boxer, Manny will earn a lot here but if I'm not mistaken, he will bring portions of his earnings to his supported charity and so with Yoo. Fans that will watch this know that they will pay to see Pacquiao inside the ring once again, if this will succeed expect more from Pacquiao.

Mayweather already earning millions just by doing exhibition, I'm pretty sure that Manny sees that same opportunities to earn a lot even in his retired status.

It's easy for Manny to make millions through exhibition fights because he has the name, maybe the possibility of Pacman vs Conor McGregor will happen because I'm pretty sure Manny will agree since Conor McGregor is a big market, if Mayweather vs McGregor made huge money, that could happen to Manny too.

Any fight of exhibition is now possible. All of these legends are still marketable and promoters would want to focus on that too since there's a huge market that has been made from these type of matches.
Maybe after the next match of Pacquiao, not from DK Yoo but the other one next this match on February, IIRC and CMIIW. There could be some arrangements that Pacquiao could be for another exhibition match for the third time.
