[Boxing]: Pacquiao vs. Buakaw - April 20

[Darker45]

Although I'm still looking forward to this exhibition match, I am not as excited when it comes to betting on this. I'm not even sure if odds will be released by the top crypto betting sites. I highly doubt it. I tried looking for betting odds elsewhere and I'm not very lucky either. I guess this will just be a fight to watch and not to bet on.

As regards the fight, I think Pacquiao is at an advantage primarily because this is a boxing match. Buakaw can box, too, but it's just not his sport. Well, this is pure entertainment anyway.

Top crypto will surely release odds here as this is considered as a top exhibition match because of Pacquiao and if there's a money, betting site will grab it. This is not exciting because this is just an exhibition match but many are already showing their interest to see Pacquiao back in the boxing ring again but on a difference scenario. Let's see if there will be changes for this exhibition and see if the team of Pacquiao will start hyping this one.

Yeah, same with Pacman's exhibition match with DK Yoo where sports bookies didn't bother to cover and release some odds for betting.

Same here also, not excited anymore hearing Pacman's name on the news that he will fight as his glory days in boxing is over.

I don't know why Manny is still doing this kind of stuff, he has the money to enjoy life without engaging himself into this kind of circus.

[JariKriting]

I knew about the McGregor fight, but not with Ryan Garcia.

In fact, Pacman was ordered to pay $5 million to Paradigm Sports Management, this was on the possible fight between him and McGregor but didn't happen.

You can read the full story here : https://www.rappler.com/sports/boxing/pacquiao-loses-case-united-states-firm-ordered-pay-millions/

It should be the promoter who pays the fighter or boxer, not the boxer. then why did the McGregor side ask for a 5 million dollar fee to pacman. yes if he asked pacman, obviously pacman would refuse the fight against McGregor.

I have to agree, but if I can speculate, we could all agree that maybe,

a. Manny Pacquiao has lost money when he bid for the Presidency in his native country,
b. He is not doing good, business is losing money
c. He still love the sport and so after he retired, he still want to continue in his capacity to be involved even in exhibition matches
d. He can't refuse the good offer by whoever promoter who set up this fight

So there's a lot of pros/cons on Manny taking exhibition fights, but his only person that can answer it. We as fans can only speculate what's the reason behind.

As a fan and overall boxing fans, we have to see boxers who retired and then after just a couple of years wanted to get back, whether professional or thru exhibition matches. However, we can't really put the blame on this boxers as this is the new trend for them. Some of Manny's contemporaries did fight in exhibition match and it's all for the fun of it.

So for me it's fine, as long as they are not putting their health on the line and they are still very much strong like Manny is even as his age. He is very lucky to have that kind of genetics as if he really didn't retire. Maybe he gain a couple of pounds, but I think if he seriously goes to the gym and train as hard as he did before when he was at his peak, he can still compete at high level.

Buakaw isn't even a boxer and is not much younger, not sure if this is a good matchup.
But Pacquiao always gives his 100% as seen in his fight against DK Yoo with no mercy even if it's an exhibition Now imagine if Buakaw makes him angry... IMO the chance of Buakaw winning is slim since Muaythay is more about knee, elbow, and spinning back fist. Rooting for Pacman to win, as seen on my avatar, lol.

Great avatar, as you carry the pride of the Philippines there. And I do agree, it's not even a 50/50 or others would say, it's a mismatch. Buakaw is more of a Muai Thai fighter, although he is known for striking, but his weapons of choice is more of the knees and elbows and clinch. We shouldn't speculate though as why Manny is taking this fight, he had many reasons, what we should do is just enjoy him still boxing and semi-retired. Floyd is doing it and no one speculate was to why except many for the fact that it's all about the money. But Manny is different, even if he fights and get a ton of money here, maybe he will just give it back to his locality and constituent as we all know that he is on the Philippine politics and helping in which ever way he can.

For sure Manny Pacquiao found a good reason why he accepted the boxing match with Buakaw. We know that each party has already observed their respective strengths and weaknesses, so maybe Pacquiao was challenged even though most people know that Buakaw's specialization is Muai thai. I hope Manny Pacquiao wins so that at least before he retires from boxing, he can get another belt champion award.

If it's just for exhibition purposes I think people will buy it regardless. Buakaw is excellent in muay thai, and I'm sure he knows how to handle himself. He's a defensive fighter too, so it will be natural for him to be on guard against a more aggressive Pacquiao. I'd still watch it, though, and probably bet on some other categories and not directly on the match winner as there's obviously no value in it when it comes to such exhibition matches.

Yeah, he know how to defend himself, but against Pacman? I doubt he will even last since it's boxing and Pacman has not become the only 8th division champion for no reason. This maybe an exhibition fight but we know who would possibly win here, unless there's a script that needs to be follow to make it look hard for Pacman. Well, I brought up this "script" thing as there are rumors that exhibition fights follows some script to make it an entertaining event.

I'm sure Pacquiao will try to look impressive here because he is preparing for the Mayweather fight and he wants to look good in this fight to show Floyd that he is still good and impressive in the ring, but Buakaw is not an easy fight, because the guy can take a punch but his being limited with his skill in boxing and the fact that he is more expert in kicking will render him defenseless against Pacman.

It will be good if Pacquiao can knock out Buakaw to scare off Mayweather, Pacquiao has better preparation against Mayweather who is fighting an unknown and inexperienced Gatti, both of their opponents' records will speak on who is the better opponent between Pacquaio and Mayweather.

Beating up Pacman with having those boxing rules? Then this would really be that truly unbelievable on which it is really just that that too impossible that Pacquiao would really be able to
lose on a boxing rule type of exhibition on which we know that Buakaw isnt a boxer type on which we do know that he do comes in other sports and now trying to having
using that boxing rules then it would be understandable on whose gonna one who would really be winning up this exhbition. Both fighters are past into their prime
and this is why its not really shocking that they would once be making out money via with those exhibitions.

Perhaps, but I don't think he should force himself to look impressive so that Floyd will fight him. On the contrary, if he see the old version of Pacman, he might redacted again and not fight him even in exhibitions as he might thought that he will lost to Manny.

And regardless of the outcome, Manny will still be the legendary fighter that we al seen and like because of his style. Buakaw is also legend on his own, but this is boxing rules so Pacman rules. I also like @mu_enrico avatar of the Pacman.

Yes, Manny is a boxer and a legend and perhaps the offer is really good that he can't resists it. And as what he said, when he had a exhibition match, his first against the South Korean Youtuber, he will continue this journey and so this will be his second exhibition fights. Buakaw is built on Muai Thai, another discipline, he is retired though, but if I'm not mistaken, there are also rumors circulating around that he might unretire and fought pro again. But we will see. There are still boxers who are still chasing Manny in pro ranks, like Ryan Garcia when he called out Manny, and again, not sure about it, Crawford or Spence at 147 lbs, Manny used to be a champion year, the last time he beat a young boxer in Thurman as he is the oldest Welterweight.

I dont see for Pacquiao to go again in pro. He might be still have that interest on boxing but his age wont really be fitting out to that. Also, for sure he had already settled down and hang his gloves totally. It would really be normal for those young boxers that would be calling out for the champ on which we know that they would really be trying out to beat up on someone whose been a legend on this Boxing world. So it would be a normal approach. In speaking about exhibition fights then its one of the perks on retiring on being a legend in boxing on which whenever
there would really be some fight agreements such as exhibition fights then they could really still be able to make millions even if they are already that retired. Who doesnt really want nor like that?
Of course you cant just that resist on this one.

I think betting is not necessary on this fight since it's pretty obvious that Manny will just dominate. I don't even remember that there was a betting odds for the fight of Manny against DK Yoo. Well, in that fight, he dominated DK Yoo who is not a natural boxer.

As regards the fight, I think Pacquiao is at an advantage primarily because this is a boxing match. Buakaw can box, too, but it's just not his sport. Well, this is pure entertainment anyway.

Huge advantage, they are on a different sport, and not only that, Manny is a legend fighting in his sport, he can't loss here.
What we will get here actually is just pure entertainment and hopefully they'll make draw a good script for the play to entertain the crowd, I'm sure Manny is good at that.
