[BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo

[akuntester1]

But regardless, it was really good to see Manny and DK being chosen as his first exhibition opponent. So that's already a big money coming for him and maybe DK will still continue to fight in exhibition matches in the future, at least to earn some good money for him.

This will make him popular because he is fighting the only 8th time division world champion. Winning the fight is not necessary, but at least he just have to give his best to make it an entertaining one, it's just an exhibition game but it needs to be a clean fight where we will see a clear winner.

That's right apart from this the exhibition fight is for charity purposes.
I am a Pacman fan and I miss seeing him box again, for me seeing Pacman back in the ring is entertainment in itself.
After Pacman retires, Pacman fans will surely miss seeing him in the ring and in action again.
And I think for DK this fight will definitely boost his popularity on social media.
And what's more, this is a very rare opportunity for DK to fight one of the Pacman boxing legends.
I'm interested and can't wait to see how Pacman and DK will provide entertainment during this match.

Or how they would be simply dancing inside the ring? 

Exhibition matches are really that intended to bring up some entertainment into boxing fans and its true that this one would really be a good opportunity for Yoo
on boosting up his popularity which it would really be a win situation for him not inside the ring but getting or hooking up people to know about him.
Im not even hearing up his name until Pacquiao did really decide to have some exhibition match against him.
Im not really that having doubts on whose gonna win.Just wondering on how long he would be lasting out?

[Silberman]

Exactly! Exhibition fights are just pure entertainment with no meant harm to the boxers who will be participating the said fight and in this case, just like any other exhibition fights, judges will not be around because they have no purpose to record anything what's going on in the ring. Even if we turn upside down, the fight is 99.9% scripted, no matter what will they say to each other. They are just there to market the fight, no harm meant.

BUT, there's a but. A knockout is completely legal, so there's still a chance that we might see a much entertaining fight because the other camp will somehow retaliate because of that action.

People do not really realize how hard boxers can hit since we watch fights which last 12 rounds almost every week, however they hit so hard that a single punch would be all what it would be needed for most professional fighters to KO a regular person, and there are some boxers which are so strong that they can even KO during a sparring match even when their partner is using gear to protect themselves, so even if it is an exhibition match if Manny does not reduce the strength of his punches he could still KO his opponent even if that is not his intent, now it is unlikely this outcome would occur but it is still a possibility.

This would really be hard for his part which it is true that he would need to hold his punches and dont let his opponent be knocked out in first few seconds of 1st round.It would really be not worth for the money spent on
tickets for the fans who do love to see a boxing legend which he would be thinking on how to make his fans happy and contented or satisfied on what they do paid out.It would really be getting lots of criticisms
if this fight would only just last for a few seconds just because he had been hit up by a solid punch which a boxer could really made on.Its true that average or normal person cant really be able
to withstand on punches on where these boxers do made off specially on someone who had been known as a solid puncher.

I've missed him getting into the ring as well and that's why seeing him go back to his major craft in his early days is a good thing. After the presidential election, a lot have said that he should focus on his current post as a government official but then he just can't resist doing other things that he's done before and one of them is boxing. For DK, it's an advantage to him that he's able to have time and even box with Manny Pacquiao on this charity match.

This is interesting- so exhibition matches are 99% scripted? I always thought that exhibition matches show the prowess and skill of the boxer given that they are against amateurs who have little-to-no boxing skills at all. But then again, watching Manny Pacquiao on the ring again is definitely a privilege to see. His footwork and speed are just unmatchable compared to any boxer that I have seen!

Regardless whether this fight is scripted or not, I just want to witness again the art of boxing like what Pacquiao trademarked for. Getting him on the ring with someone would be an honor and watching him fight is just a feat that cannot be missed!

This is an advantage for everybody except perhaps those who bought the ticket expecting that they are going to see the old fighter in Manny Pacquiao that is both hungry and ruthless. This is not a professional match. If one is thinking of Manny Pacquiao going after a knockout or a punishment of his opponent, he is probably wrong. This is as being said a charity match, just an exhibition to raise money and have fun. They are definitely not training very hard to hurt each other as badly as possible.

[Reatim]

What's the update about the winner declaration of this match? I mean if this fight will have a winner or just show-off fights with no winners what matters is to give a wonderful and good show for those who will spend money on this fight.

Manny Pacquiao is not seemed to do regular training because if so, there should be some news.

Likely, both will just act on the ring but that was just fine as it was expected already.

Mate, this is just an exhibition fight. Nobody will be hailed victorious at the end of the fight, and I reckon that there would be no judges too to score the fight because again, what is the point? There's nobody who will need it. In fact, both of them will be the winner because they will be getting millions from the people who will be willing to pay big just to see them dancing the ring as well as the PPV buys.

If they wanted to truly entertain people then they must act as professional boxer above the ring and give everything they can like regular game because this is what people really wants.

BUT, there's a but. A knockout is completely legal, so there's still a chance that we might see a much entertaining fight because the other camp will somehow retaliate because of that action.

How I wish that Manny will try to knock Him out or at least dk will try as well.

Not to hurt that much but who knows they will add some spice and allow free-fight exchange of punches, though I doubt because an accident may take place and knowing how deadly Pacquiao's punches if those solid punches will land in Yoo's face or in his critical area it might damage him a lot.

This fight is for the charity and expect that they will be more on sharing the ring to entertain and not to have a serious fight.

Fans will be happy seeing Pacquiao's presence, but better not to expect that much in terms of skill-sets it might not be practiced here.

Not just an advantage but it is an honor too to fight the one and only 8-Division World Champion and the legendary Manny Pacquiao, not all famous fighters and boxers can have the chance to box with a legendary boxer in the ring. Which also made me curious about DK Yoo, out of all famous fighters or boxers in South Korea, why him? Is he really that famous to attract audience apart from Manny Pacquiao himself?

Promoters of the fight know for sure what they are doing, we might not know the reason but they won't make this fight happen if they will not make a lot of money. I have to admit that I don't know his opponent until this fight was announce, so I just hope it will not disappoint the fans as it's the first exhibition fight of Pacman after retirement.

I speculate that he is really famous in South Korea, or at least a lot of followers in his social media that Manny readily accepts to fight him this December. Or maybe he is connected that he has somewhat known Manny or at least very close to the Pacquiao to be able to secure a fight with him in his first exhibition match.

So yeah, take it as a honor and opportunity to be with in the ring with the legendary boxer. Not al have the privilege during Manny's professional career.

Recently, I've read an article about the rules whenever there's an exhibition fight and I've found out that boxers or fighters who will participate that said exhibition fight will have to wear a much bigger gloves so that the impact will be reduced and it won't give any marks on the boxers whenever they will be receiving some punches on their temple or face. But even with that rules, real professional boxers are still dangerous to someone like DK Yoo because they can still knock them out even if the gloves are different. Just a single blow, DK Yoo will be sleeping in the canvass if Manny Pacquiao will want it.

[Yaunfitda]

^ Yes, very good point, I think pro boxers getting into exhibitions match are not allowed to have their 5-10 lbs  boxing gloves because it will be fatal for their opponent as they are not pro.

And if I'm not mistaken, Manny during his prime as a pro is using Cleto made boxing gloves which is more of punching glove, meaning impact is big as Manny punch so hard. So just imagine if DK Yoo will take the full force of Manny having his Cleto, that will punishment.

Would really be just standard on which on exhibitions then gloves shouldnt really be that too thin, its considerable though if both are retired pro boxers but if not? Pretty sure they would be
setting out those rules but i do agree on what you are saying that even with thicker gloves, the power and impact is still different if we do make out some comparison in between a
boxer and not.There's soo much difference considering that expertise or career is entirely different which if Pacquiao would really be taking it seriously or would not hold back on his
punches then DK yoo would really be sleeping in the canvass even just on first round.

[Twentyonepaylots]

Some do say that they arent needing money specially for Pacquiao and we are seeing that all of the winnings would be given on a charity which is commendable but i dont know on DK yoo but most probably he would
really be pursing it out but of course its just part of the business which is to make money for living.For those who dont need then it would be mainly applied on charitable works but for those who are earning
for living then pretty sure they would really be doing all sorts of things just for them to earn, even on making yourself do fight a boxing legend. 

I think some of the proceedings of the fight will go to charity, I think that means pot money - charity before distributing the agreed ratio of the reward money of the fight.  Manny still needs money, reason why he is still active in boxing, if he does not need the money then he shouldn't be pursuing exhibition fights.  I don't think it is because of the fans, the reason why retired boxers such as Manny and Mayweather are doing an exhibition fights.

Manny Pacquiao has a good heart especially to the poor people because he is also one of them before. Now, he is a politician in the Philippines and have a good life here. I think the reason for him to continue his boxing career is because of his passion and love for boxing, also because of the title that he can brought to the country.

Most that have purchased or will purchase a ticket I think understand that matter. They're not there to see hand-in-hand action from Pacman and DK but all just want to see him inside the ring and have some good exhibition boxing.

Not just an advantage but it is an honor too to fight the one and only 8-Division World Champion and the legendary Manny Pacquiao, not all famous fighters and boxers can have the chance to box with a legendary boxer in the ring. Which also made me curious about DK Yoo, out of all famous fighters or boxers in South Korea, why him? Is he really that famous to attract audience apart from Manny Pacquiao himself?

DK Yoo has got around 600k subscribers for his YouTube channel so I guess he's that famous at all. I don't know how much he's got with his other social media accounts.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well here is something to rescue, and it is that Manny Pacquiao is a very good boxer and this fight is clearly an exhibition fight, obviously it is fixed, I am not one of those who like to watch exhibition fights, but Pacquiao will be there, and that changes everything , when there are exhibition fights I don't even see them, it would be practically the first time that I go to see a fight like that, because I always like the real thing, when there is rivalry and they fight for a title or for the defense of a title, that is what moves us all and that good bets can be made, that is another thing that I like about boxing.

Also boxers who are in exhibition fights should feel calm ´because they will see it as something that will be beneficial for another person, I think this is what I like the most.

Now the great legend will give a good visit for Yorkshire, but how to see it? Here you can know:

Manny Pacquiao Tour 2023 Yorkshire: Where will world champion boxer Manny Pacquiao visit in Yorkshire and how can I buy a ticket to see him?

Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao Sr, more famously known as Manny Pacquiao, is a Filipino politician and former professional boxer and is considered one of the greatest professional boxers of all time. His nickname is ‘PacMan’ and he previously served as a Senator of the Philippines from 2016 to 2022.

He is the only eight-division world champion in the history of boxing and has won 12 prestigious world titles. He was also the first boxer to win the lineal championship in five different weight classes, the first to win major titles in four of the eight ‘glamour divisions’ and is the only boxer to hold championships across four decades in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.

It seems to me that they are great opportunities that are to see the great legend of boxing, a unique opportunity to continue enjoying the great Pacquiao.

Exhibition fights are obviously for entertainment purposes + getting some money without compromising or affecting someones statistics since its not official.It would really be that obvious that there would be no

betting lines or odds for this one considering that results or outcome would really be that too obvious on whose gonna win.Some do say about being beneficial for DK since
he had an opponent which is really that popular which it would really boost up his popularity too.

Lets just enjoy on what would really be they tend to show about.

Or probably there are fans that are not going to bet on this one, and to be honest I haven't put a bet on exhibitions fight even if there are odds. As you have said, the purpose is to just entertain us so no need to put money on line as we might get nervous watching the fight, Lol.

But I have nothing against those fans who love to put some bet here, watching and then enjoying it at the same time.

Obviously though if there is a line that is open already, Manny is the outstanding favorite here.
