When they smell some honey, they will not hesitate to make some money and this is the trend nowadays because there are still lots of fans that are willing to watch those kinds of fights. They found the right thing to do without hurting both fighters too much like in real fights because they already trained to lighten their punches to avoid any unnecessary injuries. But the high payments are still there and this is the same reason why the likes of Manny Pacquiao still fight in the ring even though he is already past the age when most boxers retired from boxing.

Don't worry mate because you are not alone in the confusion made by Manny Pacquiao's recent big move towards RIZIN.

In my knowledge, this RIZIN is a Japan based company that caters MMA and kickboxers like the Dana White's UFC. So, I'm thinking that Pacquiao might have an encounter in the future with their highest paid athletes to fight Pacquiao in the ring and generate Millions worth of revenue. I'm not sure though but that's the best speculation that I can think of. They should've give more details about this to clear up the people's confusion in this matter.

I am a bit confused here. I thought that Manny Pacquiao retired from professional sports after his loss to Yordenis Ugás. He announced his retirement on 29th September 2021. After that he has been involved in exhibition matches, but has refrained from professional fights. So the new contract with RIZIN means that he will return to professional sports? Isn't he a bit too old for that? And also, RIZIN mostly concentrates on MMA, but so far Pacquiao has given no indication that he will try his luck with that particular sport. It's really confusing.

Well, apparently Pacquiao does not lose his level and it is something that is very evident, in an interview he said that he was not going to allow them to hit him, but I do not remember what he said the most that he could have left the ring without a single word. hit, the truth made me laugh a little because he is a boxer who has a way of saying it, but although for many it seemed like a somewhat derogatory comment and of course something that is excessive on his part, some say that he lacked humility, but I I think he said it to attract much more attention and generate more fame, this is something very common among boxers, only when Pacquiao does it, it does attract attention.


What happens is that a boxer like Pacquiao is a legend, there is no other that adds so many emotions to the fans, whoever manages him, for normal fights or for exhibition fights, in the same way, people are in vain looking for the usual way. go, personally it's a shame that they make those fights so far, because I would be a fan who would pay to see the great legend do his job.

Exhibition fights are great options to enjoy watching Pacquiao and his opponent with the caveat that neither of them will be hurt in a big way, that's what I like about exhibition fights, although I would still like to see them again. Pacquiao in a real fight.


Pacquiao always gives a lot to talk about:

Boxing star Manny Pacquiao reveals details of his contract with Rizin FF

Most athletes love their sports so if it was up to them they would never retire, however due to their age and the punishment they have received during their careers they are left with no other choice as they cannot compete with the new and upcoming athletes, so it is a good thing that old boxers are finding a way to capitalize on their former fame and they can still earn money with the sport they love, even if their abilities are not with they used to be.

Doesnt matter on whose the promoter or whatever who do get in line with Pacquiaos exhibition fight then it would be surely be watched considering that he had lots of fans worldwide which it is really that expected
to look for those certain fights. Common sense thing that they wont really be arranging these type of fights if there werent viewers or demand.If Pacquiao's 1st exhibition match turns out to be successful or he
did really purse out some considerable amounts then why not on making another one?

Despite of being already retired, he could still pull off some good fights even if it needs to match up with fellow boxers which i do see to be interesting than into those non.

That means that we're likely to see exhibition matches coming from RIZIN promotions athletes that have also signed for them. For those that know the background of the promoter and its athletes, I guess you're not going to expect a lot from it.
But those fans that don't look at that side, it's just all about having fun and watching Pacquiao having a match with whoever's set to fight him and that's everything to all of those fans that just want to be there to watch him box.

As far as I know, RIZIN is the top promotions when it comes to MMA talents and kick boxing. So, I guess Manny Pacquiao sheltered with that promotion because they offered Manny Pacquiao a good and decent guaranteed money that is acceptable as a boxing legend in-exchange of fighting their top players where RIZIN views it as a guaranteed millions because maybe their fighters there are also famous and can attract audience with mixing Pacquiao on the equation.

Guys, but wasnt RIZIN promotion is more oriented on mix martial arts? Which makes it possible for Manny to have his next fight as an exhibition boxing fight against some popular in Asia kickboxer or MMA fighter.  Like Mayweather had against Nasukawa. It was a RIZIN fight also. Imho we should not expect anything special from that Pacman contract with RIZIN.

These are approximate figures, because neither the organizers, not the athletes revealed the actual payments. But the realized amount should be very close. It means that Floyd earned more than half a billion USD from just two fights (those against Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao). None of the past legends came anywhere close to achieving this feat, and I don't think that for the next 10 years any of the younger athletes will be able to achieve something like this. Canelo Álvarez earned much less for his fights against Golovkin and Bivol.

Yeah, they're stars and that's a lot of money for him. As for Manny's fight and his, that's still whopping much money. Does anybody know how much the biggest paycheck that Manny has ever got? I know that they're also that much but I have no idea about the exact numbers.

It's all about the promoter that's attaching the match on him. And he's just going to do whatever the deal is because he signed for it. The thing here is, it's all about money anymore while doing the sport that he's ever loved during all of those years that he's fighting for each win of it.

I agree. I don't doubt Manny Pacquiao's talent but honestly fighting the current champions of 147 pounds? Seriously, he won't be getting out of that fight unscathed even if he will just fight the challengers below the line of Crawford and Spence. Pacquiao already has done so many things when he was still fighting professionally, there's no need to prove anymore that he can still give a good fight because body is not that sturdy anymore and I reckon that it's been years already since he had an intense training. It's much better for him to focus on exhibition fights where it's much safer and he can still earn millions per fight.

As long as the boxers involved has a name, these exhibition matches will keep on going. As for Manny Pacquiao, he's still got a great name and a lot of fans, we can see how influential he is in many countries and that's why he's taken by this promoter.
What I can see here is that, whoever the opponent as long as it is him that will have a match, all of them will be sold out for the tickets.
That's how known Manny Pacquiao is and despite that he's no longer in the professional boxing, his contribution there is great and people have recognized him, so wherever he goes, the crowd goes there as well just to see him.

And I guess if boxers like Manny is fully on board with this kind of fights, then nothing is wrong with exhibitions now and could be the norm for retired boxers to pursue again fighting boxers that their supposed to fight during their primes.

So we should just enjoy this kind of fights and not be annoyed and embrace that this former boxers could have their last final dance and make some money too at the sideline, so win-win.

And with Manny signing with the Japanese promoter, expect him like 2 or even 3 exhibition fights for him in Japan.

Yes, these boxers think of a way to enjoy their favorite sports even out of retirement. It's just a matter now of who's boxer involved and who the opponent is as people will surely not just watch an exhibition match if the involved fighter is not that popular.

Nothing really wrong about that as they are not even forcing people to watch them.

If feel annoyed by these matches, simply just ignore those and move on.

Well, the promoters have seen the potential that Manny can still have matches through exhibitions and that's going to make a lot of money that shall benefit both of them. Looking at how popular Manny is still, they can't ignore the fact that people would like to watch him as he retires.
Whoever started this exhibition matches for the great retired boxers, it's really working on them and it's like a money making machine that everyone would like to pay a ticket just to watch them play the sport that they've loved even after their retirement.

What I want to see is an exhibition of Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather, but this time that Mayweather is not going to run into the ring, and that instead of running he faces as he always should have been, firstly that he does not run and secondly that I gave Pacquiao a good revenge, that should be an exhibition fight that promised, for me it would be in one of the best in the world, do you think that could happen? It is that if they do something like this, it would be in great demand, it is the possibility that one has to be able to see these two inside a ring and without any possibility of them saying that they do not want or that they do want revenge.

---

However, now we can hope that Pacquiao can give good news, because in this we believe that Pacquiao will have a great performance in his fights, as good fans, we hope that they can continue offering us good fights, whoever he is with, but let us see Pacquiao with the boxing gloves giving everything, in my case I plan to continue enjoying the good movements that the Filipino makes, he is a legend and I prefer to see him in exhibition fights than not being with boxing anymore, perhaps many of us will keep the hope of to celebrate again even if it is 1 fight that can be done in professional mode.



Manny Pacquiao expected to fight exhibition in 2023 for Rizin





Well now we all hope that he can have a fight even in exhibition mode with Mayweather:

Before we close this thread though, I was surprised to read that Manny has signed the Japanese promoter Rizin,


https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/12/31/23533315/manny-pacquiao-announces-he-signed-rizin-with-plans-to-fight-in-2023

So I guess there's no stopping Manny now for having this kind of exhibition fight this 2023.

And probably this is good, I mean he said that he is willing to face any of the current champion at 147 lbs in professional level, but we all know that he will be damage by either Spence or Crawford, so much better to stick with exhibition matches, just saying.

I guess this thread needs to be lock up, turning to be out of topic, discussing Floyd now. And it's been a week if I'm not mistaken since this week has taken place, Manny won the hearts of his fans again in his performance.

And we heard that part of the proceeds will go to his native country and some to help the cause of Ukraine in their war against Russian.

I already PM the OP to lock this thread for good.

Yes mate, that's true! Floyd Mayweather Jr. earned a whopping $300 Million in his fight against Conor McGregor while the latter have earned $100 Million, I guess PPV shares are already included and computed along the reported figures. Somehow that figures doesn't surprise me anymore because Mayweather and McGregor is the stars and most controversial athletes in their respective sports, so surely, an impressive revenue will be generated upon their collision.

I have learned that it is Floyd's biggest paycheck, 2nd biggest is his fight against the legendary Manny Pacquiao that earned himself $250M.
