[BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo

[Hypnosis00]

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.

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.

Personally, I would not bet on this game as it's very obvious who will win, so I'm thinking what if Manny will intentionally lose this fight in his favor, so that would mean goodbye to our money. I would be alright watching this fight with some beers on the table.

actually it is not about who will win mate , but it is the essence of the fight and the intention to help the much needed , Manny obviously retired Boxer but love to stand in the ring again without losing His title so yeah, it is a best fight to watch and put some bet but surely Manny Will win eventually .

Putting a bet is good if you'll find a good odds, but I'm pretty sure you won't find one if you will only bet on Manny to win. My guess, the odds would be 1.02 for Manny to win, so that's not attractive, but if you will go for a KO, maybe that will give you a good odds, however, how sure are we that Manny is going to KO his opponent considering it's just an exhibition fight?

[mirakal]

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.

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.

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.

Yes, I get that point that there is indeed a special reasons why DK Yoo has been chose for Manny Pacquiao's first exhibition fight but still I'm really curious about this DK Yoo's influence in South Korea and that he can really attract large audience because that is the fact, he is relatively unknown and the internet is just saying that he is a martial arts master and a coach, nothing adds up.

That should be the essence, to help the people in need but obviously book maker see a huge profit on this match so they won't let this event pass them.  They will definitely offer an attractive odds so that bettor will not hesitate to get involved in betting between the two boxer.  

About the outcome of the game, we are not sure about their "script"  .  But obviously the one with the better reputation should win the fight.  Else if the exhibition goes normal, I think Manny will surely win on this one.

Yes, I get that point that there is indeed a special reasons why DK Yoo has been chose for Manny Pacquiao's first exhibition fight but still I'm really curious about this DK Yoo's influence in South Korea and that he can really attract large audience because that is the fact, he is relatively unknown and the internet is just saying that he is a martial arts master and a coach, nothing adds up.

DK Yoo has 654k youtube subscribers , 3999399k Instagram followers, that is pretty much average though if those number supports the fight, that would be a huge addition.  I think people from South Korea regardless they follow DK YOO or not will surely get interested because fighting Manny Pacquiao is not a small feat.

[Kemarit]

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.

I'm interested and can't wait to see how Pacman and DK will provide entertainment during this match.

Yes, but he really retired from professional boxer, and Manny Pacquiao is truly one of a kind boxer, a boxing specimen that we will not see maybe in the next 50 years, 8 division champ. Nevertheless when all the exhibition matches come into play, sooner that we think that as fans, we will see Manny again but this time it will just be like that, for fun and entertainment.

DK, on the other hand, won the sweepstakes when he was chosen by Manny, so for sure, it will boost his social media present. And who knows, fans of Manny might follow this Youtube star. Let's see who will be the judges and the referee here, we are definitely curious who is going to score it from the sideline.

I agree with what you said, especially with his condition as an influencer, it is clear that this will be a pretty good advantage.
There are already a lot of people who are really looking forward to this match because it's quite clear that an exhibition is one thing that will definitely benefit, especially in a financial condition, especially DK Yoo. I also think he can bring his followers to watch this.
On the other hand, I want to look back at his jab, which is actually quite good in battle.

For sure there would be no bookies who would be offering lines for this exhibition fight. I would rather be believing that if it's a co-boxer then it's possible but for someone who doesnt have the experience?

Then it would really be that obvious on whose gonna win.So why would need for some betting? It is really just pointless and we know their backgrounds.If Pacquiao would let himself
get beaten up by a non boxer then it would really be making lots of criticisms instead.

It would really be just obvious on who would win so i dont see any interest nor thrill in related to that manner.

[Baofeng]

So let's see how the judges will score this fight or who will likely be the celebrity judges from South Korea will be.

Are judges on this fight will be a celebrity? Not an actual official boxing judge?

If that so, this will really be a pure entertainment and that will make fans to enjoy more the show.

But if those are celebrities, I can't imagine how they will able to score a certain round hehe.

Not sure mate, I just speculate that the judges could be celebrities as this is just an exhibition match, so no need to have official boxing judges to score this fight.

Right, this is just for entertainment only, DK is a Youtube celebrity in South Korea so this might turn out to be not that competitive  and just a show off to both of their fans.

Probably the basic 10-9 score, what they see is what we should get in the final scorecard, hehehe.

Free to specualte and if celebrities will judge the fight it will be an additional ticket sales for the promoters, though it will also an additional cost for them, knowing that celebrities will not go there without any talent fees. The fight may not be as an entertaining as some of the fans are expecting but maybe the cause for charities will gave them contentment supporting the fight.

Let hope that both fighters will give fans a token of appreciations by providing enjoyment during the fight.

It will be total entertainment and there could be performances in the actual boxing ring where Pacman and DK will fight. So, it's going to be a center stage and sure, there will be upfront and additional fees for the tickets.
But, the fans don't want that much entertainment, if they're there just to see Pacman then they'll go just for him and not with those entertainments that will be done by other celebrities which might really put up some fees on their ticket sales.

[freedomgo]

^ 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.

A much heavier special gloves compared to the traditional ones must be worn during these kinds of fight because almost unarguable that there will be some instances that the participants will forget that they are in an exhibition fight and might hurt their foes with their might. Organizers will always make sure the safety first because exhibition fights are just pure entertainment.

And about those Cleto Reyes gloves, yes, Manny Pacquiao used to wear those kinds of gloves when he was still at the height of his career because it gives them so much comfort and some might say that it is almost like you're not wearing anything at all. In fact, many boxing legends prefer to wear Cleto Reyes gloves like Sugar Ray, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and the list goes on.

[serjent05]

Yes, but he really retired from professional boxer, and Manny Pacquiao is truly one of a kind boxer, a boxing specimen that we will not see maybe in the next 50 years, 8 division champ.

I think breaking the 8 Division title holder needs a lot longer years.  Unless some great promoter creates a boxer to intentionally beat the record by cherry-picking opponents and taking the opportunity to fight weaker champions as the boxer goes up in the division.

Nevertheless when all the exhibition matches come into play, sooner that we think that as fans, we will see Manny again but this time it will just be like that, for fun and entertainment.

There is no wrong in seeing a legendary boxer entertaining viewers.  They have already proven themselves during their prime, and it is generosity for them to grant us another moment to see their boxing skills and moves.

DK, on the other hand, won the sweepstakes when he was chosen by Manny, so for sure, it will boost his social media present. And who knows, fans of Manny might follow this Youtube star. Let's see who will be the judges and the referee here, we are definitely curious who is going to score it from the sideline.

I fully agree, the name DK Yoo has been put to the map of known people after Manny accepted his deal of an exhibition fight.  But regardless it is always good to know that Yoo agrees to some of the proceedings of the fight be given to the charity.

^ 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.

Yeah since it is an exhibition fight, the council must make sure that the boxers has lesser risk for a major injuries.

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.

I bet DK Yoo won't finish the full rounds of the fight and end up not going back to the center of the ring to avoid any more punishement.

Except for those kinds of celebrities who will want to participate and judge the fight free of charge, although those cases are just rare and surely not all celebrities are that interested to participate the said event without talent fees, but we cannot neglect that there would be some chance for the sake of supporting their boxers who will fight Manny Pacquiao.

Maybe if chances permits a fan of Yoo or Pacquiao who wanted to help and take part for these charity cause event, but just the same it's a rare case that celebrity will be willing to participate in an event that they will not gain anything, aside from the said help and participation most of the time celebrities are asking for talent fees, not directly them but the handlers who are managing their careers.

We can't conclude if ever that in such an event this kind of rare situation will going to take place, all we can do is to wait and see what will happen during the fight.

Im not even know on whose DK yoo but made out some research
https://en.everybodywiki.com/Dk_yoo
So this guy had some history of martial arts but currently this guy is a Youtuber.
So its expected for some exhibition fight to happen once again.

Yup, just heard from him first time and had to watch his videos. Somewhere he was marketed as "modern day Bruce Lee" which makes me think of a fake showman. His matches look horrible. Like he never had been in a fight and in the video he looks just surprised. Like a kid thinking "i am in a real people fight now, not going to use my kung-fu".
I don't bear to watch this live as it all seems just too cringe.

Being youtuber fits his "Bruce Lee" showmanship perfectly.

I guess i have to give him points for legitimately trying and putting himself out there. I couldn't do that so i shouldn't diss him. And that he is actually releasing these fights on videos, that shows that he believes in his own skills. I don't but that doesn't and shouldn't matter to him.

[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.

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.

That makes sense, after all when it comes to boxers we are talking about people that have fought all their lives, so even if they have great control over their strength and punching power they only need to lose control during a single punch in order to KO a regular person, so it makes sense that in order to avoid this scenario they are being forced to use gloves that are much heavier so the chances of this scenario get reduced significantly.

It would be very interesting if some popular celebrities participate as judges in this fight.  I agree it will bring more audience and will create additional ticket sales because the fans of these going to be judge celebrities will surely watch the fight since it will be also a chance to meet their idols.  Even though imagining such thing is entertaining, I doubt it will happen unless there are celebrities out there who know how to score a boxing fight.

Maybe if chances permits a fan of Yoo or Pacquiao who wanted to help and take part for these charity cause event, but just the same it's a rare case that celebrity will be willing to participate in an event that they will not gain anything, aside from the said help and participation most of the time celebrities are asking for talent fees, not directly them but the handlers who are managing their careers.

Celebrities also love money, I believe if the fight organizer announces that they'll be needing celebrities to judge the fight, there will be dozens of applications because of not only exposure but the payment for their service.  Judges are getting paid else if they are not paid Boxing wouldn't have judging officials to decide the result of the match if the fight goes to distance.

I fully agree, the name DK Yoo has been put to the map of known people after Manny accepted his deal of an exhibition fight.  But regardless it is always good to know that Yoo agrees to some of the proceedings of the fight be given to the charity.

I don't know him and when this match has shown that they'll be fighting for a charity cause. Then, that's where his name shined. Became a good name because of the cause and at the same time, people now have known him because he's going to be up against Manny Pacquiao. I'm looking for some websites to know how much the tickets would be. Does anyone know where the tickets are up for sale and how much the tickets will be?

Same here, I haven't heard the name DK Yoo until the announcement of the exhibition fight against Manny Pacquiao.  I think DK Yoo got a jackpot when Manny accepted the deal to fight him in an exhibition match because many people will look into his profile.  It is also a good advertisement and exposure for his social media channel. 

About the ticket price, I also looked at the internet but I can't find any information.
