iShowspeed vs. Manny Pacquiao exhibition fight?

[Russlenat]

iShowspeed's visit to the Philippines has gone viral, especially after meeting with the country’s boxing legend, Manny Pacquiao. With iShowspeed being a famous YouTuber and streamer who has a massive following, it makes you wonder- could an exhibition fight between the two actually happen? Since these types of matches are often about the money, it’s not entirely impossible. Pacquiao is no stranger to exhibition bouts, and with iSHOWSPEED's huge fanbase, it would definitely catch a lot of attention. If this happens, it would break the internet for sure!

Watch this full fight highlights.

Don’t be surprised that he lost -he was only giving it 70%!

I also see both of them played chess. iShowspeed's is known for his fun activities while travelling to other countries and use it to have many fans. There is nothing more than that. This kind of fight can not be on betting site.

Don’t be surprised that he lost -he was only giving it 70%!

Who lost? iShowspeed is not a boxer. He can not win a fight with such a person. It is not a surprise.

[Jating]

If the money is right then why not? Yes, he could have a massive following, but who is going to sponsor the fight and willing to shell out big money for a exhibition. Someone should step up, I don't think that Manny is willing to be that man, he will fight definitely but for a good pay day against this influencer.

And I doubt that he will have a chance against Manny, even today, they  can fight and Manny can still win it easy. But it good to see that he visited Manny in the Philippines and for sure it skyrocketed his followers again with this collab with the ring legend.

Speed ​​can't fight with good boxing basics, we can see him often making silliness that even when he plays football, just for entertainment and jokes.
I don't know why there are more exhibition fights now, maybe because of money or maybe for popularity like a gimmick that makes one party get an advantage, but this will attract many people.
In the visit that Speed ​​did, it also showed that he was sparring with Manny Pacquiao and sure enough in one punch made Speed ​​groan in pain, Manny Pacquiao strength is still quite tough and if there is an exhibition fight between the two then I sure if Manny Pacquiao is serious in fighting, Speed ​​might be seriously injured.
It just that I doubt whether Manny Pacquiao will accept much more planned exhibition fight in the future.

Is it becoming mainstream when YouTubers and old boxers stage exhibition fights shows for the sake of hype and subsequent monetization?

There have been no official statements that the exhibition fight between iShowspeed vs. Manny Pacquiao will take place, which means it is too early to expect it. Although, I certainly will not expect this pseudo-fight.

If there is a financial interest, then such a possibility of organizing a fight should not be discounted. Sports and show business are now closely intertwined.

I don’t think this fight will ever happen. iShowSpeed isn’t into boxing—he’s more of a comedian who loves to stream. Sure, he visited Pacquiao’s house because Pacman is a huge name, and he’s already here in the Philippines, but if you look at the video, it’s obvious he has no boxing skills. A match with Pacquiao would just be comedy- it wouldn’t even be a contest.

If iShowSpeed wants a real match, he could try someone like Salt Papi, though that might be one-sided too.

For the money and entertainment, sure, it’s possible. But it would hurt Pacman’s legacy, so it’s a big no.

Pretty sure this was just for fun lol, and it shows.  I mean look at where they fought in the first place, and look at iShowspeeds face, 100% just him having fun and doing it cause of Manny being famous and him, well, visiting him. I mean, if I was that buffed I would want to somehow have fun with Manny ya know? He's just that much of a legend in the boxing scene after all.

Now as for an exhibition match, highly doubt an official one would ever happen. iShowspeed just doesn't feel like he'd ever do so really, I reckon he'd much rather have fun visiting other countries and touring. And I don't think he has a background in boxing even? Like I reckon an exhibition match would only happen if the other party has at least some background with it.

Before clicking the link, I thought they did a real fight for raising funds for a NPO or something, now after watching this, I realized it's the same video that's being shared by 1000s of Twitter Accounts for impressions. Yes, they did a fight but It's not a fight? I mean they were just having some fun. Manny Pacquiao is great at what he does, so I am sure there's 0% chance of Speed to win this against him. I would love to see an official fight though as you mentioned.

[blockman]

LOL, Ishowspeed is enjoying his visit in our country. He's being warmly welcomed and I don't think any exhibition fight will happen like this.
Him asking Pacquiao to punch him is one of the funny livestreams that he's got. That Pacquiao punch test was like a norm from these content creators and ISS got the taste of it.

normally this is just one of his extreme way of catching fun and continue gaining relevance as a YouTuber. Same way he went against randy ortom and got knocked out. Dude is just living the best of his life with the big players and it's still paying him off.

If you give him the chance, he will risk getting into an exhibition fight even if his ass is going to end up being kicked out but I doubt there is any thing like that potentially coming out. It's all for the fun and the setting the hard the show bizz explains it all.

You can see from it that he really, really does not want an exhibition fight with him

Here in my city, there are also many influencer fights like this, and honestly I don't think their fights are worth betting on, just imagine for a basic technique in boxing they can't do it properly let alone fight with full skill and ability, for showspeed, he is walking around Southeast Asia for the sake of content therefore, the fight that happened between Manny and Speed ​​is not worth betting on haha.

If that happens, the odds would probably be 1.05 for Pacquiao to win hahaha, or even less
There have been a few fights like that in my country too, and even retired boxers against influencers or very strong people, but they didn't stand a chance
They start to fight, they put on a bit of a show, but when this “non-boxer” tries to hit harder, the boxer knows how to hit, and it only takes a few seconds to win the fight, after all it's years of experience

Sometimes they put on this display to raise money for an institution, but it's definitely not a fight to bet on

Its hard to imagine a serious match, the entertainment value alone would draw a huge crowd. Plus, exhibition fights are more about the spectacle than the competition, right? It could definitely happen if the stars align, especially with the kind of buzz Speed has been generating lately. I mean, can you imagine the memes that would come out of it? 😂

[Peanutswar]

Its unexpected that just my friends tell me that Speed visit here in the Philippines and we know how he travel all around the world and keep doing live stream, and he also came with Manny just having a good time just a casual thing and of course we know Speed just bring entertainment and even Manny just give that so they just grab the opportunity to have a brief knowledge with Manny and also I saw them playing a chess but with the exhibition fight I guess far from reality that Manny will accept this of course as respect too to Speed.

This isn't gonna be a real fight that will be added to casino for betting. To me, iShowspeed is an entertainer and has gain lot of fan because of his page and this said fight could just be as a medium to entertain his fans and viewers and not really a real fight. iShowspeed doesn't have a boxing techniques to be able to win in such fight.

There’s no real fight happening here. OP was just showing a playful match they made, and because it gained so many views, maybe he is thinking an exhibition fight could happen. I think it’s unlikely, though, since iShowspeed doesn’t have any boxing experience, unlike Jake Paul, who’s dedicated himself to the sport, which is why he’s found success.

Who lost? iShowspeed is not a boxer. He can not win a fight with such a person. It is not a surprise.

I think his remark is just a sarcasm. Everyone knew that ishowspeed is a comedian that do a lot of staff.

I'm not aware that he is on our country recently. I'm just surprised that my wall was flooded by post related to him including the spareing session with Manny Pacquiao which is so funny. I don't follow this influencer but he do a good job on visiting Philippines since we are a hardcore follower of any popular influencer.

I doubt this exhibition match will be possible because we all know that this will be just a comedy. Maybe more of a sparring session will be possible.

If he lost I think that's his remaining 30% power hasn't given up for this fight, we'll see for another upcoming fights soon if he'd show us who's the toughest among them. The viral visit of iShowspeed couldn't help but just to gain popularity, but we wanted here the reality of everything and not just for the show.

[dansus021]

Nahhh I just open the YouTube I thought it's real fight since I know Manny Pacquiao he is actor and he really know about Martial art.

If there is real fight iShowspeed vs. Manny Pacquiao fight? I just surely bet for the Manny he gonna win easily despite his age but the show is fun tho hahah
