Topic: [BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo - page 21. (Read 7960 times)

Yep! even though Manny is not in politics or has a position in politics giving something to charity is always his thing every time he will win the game or even he is being defeated in the game. But even though he is allocated his earnings to charity , I wish he retire from boxing I am just worried to his health he can still help other people , I know that boxing is his passion but he should consider his well being.

Well, yes, they cannot deny that fact. Their main agenda is money and that is always the driving factor why they are still seeking some fights even if they are already retired, they are just taking advantage of their status. Even Manny Pacquiao have his own agenda why he suddenly announced that he will be returning again, he said that he will be giving it to the charity and that is true, but I seriously wouldn't believe that he won't take a fraction for himself.

Comparison with a monastery means "to get away from the outside world and not to remind oneself." This is the dream of fanatics in relation to their idols, since in this case only a professional career remains, and the person himself, as it were, disappears. But it is clear that sports stars are not interested in this, since in modern conditions they can earn as much in one exhibition fight as athletes earned in their entire careers 20-30 years ago. And this is not due to inflation, but due to the fact that the media market is growing at a rapid pace and the earnings of all its participants, too.

There's no doubt about it. Pacquiao will not gonna agree on this deal if there will be script that he needs to lose the match due to his status. I wonder if Pacquiao will gonna show an extreme fight on this match because we all know him that always showing mercy if he knew that his opponent is already not capable to give him a fair fight. He is not like Mayweather and other pro boxer that has no mercy inside the ring.

Just a little bit off-topic here. What the Pacman Mayweather match will finally come through on this kind of exhibition matches but instead of boxing they will fight on UFC octagon for a change.   

Having that privilege to be in the same ring with the boxing legend give him more credit to his social media hypes, in this exhibition match he just need to bring his best to entertain the fans, the outcome is predictable unless that there's something on the script that fans and viewers will not anticipate.

But as far as boxing is concern, we already know who will going to win, and from this start we will expect more from Pacquiao,

The venue for this new money making business will be wide as we know that there are fighters who will love to share a same ring
with Pacquiao.

I remember on Russian television there was a show where celebrities were having boxing fights. Similar to an exhibition fights between pro boxer again . The outcome of that show was predictable - the guy who has trained boxing in childhood (but at 40+ or 45+ y.o. during filming) won against younger guys. I completely believe in case, that Mayweather and McGregor were those who pushed exhibition or unusual boxing fights on such a hype level. Not Paul brothers, not Muhammad Ali and. Antonio Inoki, not any other guy.

Exhibition matches were already present in the early 2000's but it's so rare that people already forgot about it. Floyd Mayweather started it again 15 years after with Connor McGregor and then these Paul Brothers suddenly surfaced and followed by creating their exhibition fights as well. Until it became hyped that almost all retired or near retirement phase fighters started calling each other to make an exhibition fight, and that's when things got ugly because the true essence of boxing has been forgotten as fighters and promoters are already chasing money.

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.

I'm under the impression that the money earn by the Korean will go to his pockets and not to charity as compare to Pacquiao. But it's not going to be 100% for the charity I reckon, Manny need to pay some people as well in this fight.

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.

Despite of those opinions I see where you are pointing your statement and it can't be denied that those fighters who are making their presence inside the ring again also aiming for money, maybe they've got some other reason but more on the money side that they can make more and they will be able to support their financial needs.

Charity is a big part of Manny's pursuing his presence. As we know, after his political career, he continues to provide from those charities that he established and continues to support.

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.

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. 

That's why they are fanatics, because that how they wanted their famous boxers to be, retired for good.

But times has change, although there are exhibition fights before, it was not that prominent as today, it was Floyd who really started this trend.

And I agree that even if this is scripted, but as we can see, fans are willing to pay huge amount just to see their favorite boxers in the ring. I'm not sure though you comparison about the monastery,  . They are still human and need to do and still make some money for their family.

I don't really see any reason why the fans would be against such fights. It's not a continuation of a career, it's just another activity. With their fame, they could go on a cooking show and make a lot of money too, but the best ex-pros can do is in the ring, so it's not surprising that they end up there again.
It is necessary to separate a professional career and everything else. Boxers, even if they ended their career at the age of 40, cannot go to a monastery for the sake of remembering themselves as just a pro and not doing anything else.

Ofcourse, a popular retired fighter would be the target of those promotors because there are still fans willing to pay to watch them fight. Promoters are also spicing up these exhibition match by setting up unusual fights. The recent popular fight was Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva also it's results, I believe that it's unusual given that anderson has his own fame and there are rumors that it's rigged. At the first place, asking a legend to fight someone is a hard thing to do unless it comes with money. I hope that Manny Pacquiao won't do an exhibition fight with a youtuber, Though I'm pretty sure that Manny Pacquiao is receiving that kind of offers.

Yeah, depending with the promoters if they see that the fighter who already retired still have that charisma to the fans, selling the tickets is not going to be a problem, they will keep bringing him inside the ring and make more money in a such easy way, just the face value of the known legends and they will bank more revenue to their wallets.

In this case, it's Pacquiao which really have that good personalities that more fans will love to see him fighting even in a just exhibition game.

For sure a lot of money will come in the pocket of the boxing facilitator even though this fight is an exhibition fight but still a lot of people wan to see in the fight in real and for sure a lot of tickets will be sold.  People makes a way to see their idols fight so many fans will come and edited with this fight.  About you mentioned that they are throwing more exhibition then In my own opinion it's depend on the fighter because the facilitator choose the strong and very popular in order to get more views and more money to earn.

As soon as these fighters, including the facilitators learned that they can earn a million dollar from a boxing exhibition with the well known names in the combat sports industry, they tend to abuse it and throw more exhibition games.
I don't know but people who bet with an exhibition much is nothing but pure risk taker lol.
The result is uncertain, even with the high skilled pro boxer can lose in a boxing exhibition more than the official match.

but it is very strange to see a fight in which there is a professional boxing guy fighting a person who is not a boxing professional and knows several fighting styles, the professional boxing guy already has a great field of boxing and has a great experience, he knows almost all the boxing tricks and the guy who isn't even a boxing professional doesn't have real experience of having faced a lot of boxers, and it's a fight where the professional boxing guy clearly has a big advantage, if it weren't for one exhibition fight the winner would be clear, and I doubt anyone would even risk betting on DK Yoo if this was a serious fight.


 

usually fighters spend months preparing, they train hard to improve their skills as much as possible, they make a lot of effort so that they can give their maximum in the fight and who knows how to win the fight, but in this case of exhibition fighting it's the opposite, the fighters they probably spend months training how to reduce their skills so that when it's time for the fight they don't get heavy against the weak opponent, that's something that even makes me laugh just imagining how the professional fighter is at the time of training. example: the coach should say to him: " now punch very lightly, very calmly, very calmly, okay, now give a very light kick, that " must be really funny


the current exhibition fights are generating money, if they weren't generating money I wouldn't be wasting time to organize the exhibition fights, the strange point is putting an expensive boxing professional against a guy who is not a professional boxer but who knows several fights . this means that the professional boxer has to spend many months training how to contain his strength and how to strike the opponent without hurting him, it must be a very fun task

It was Logan Paul and KSI that started all that exhibition fight or boxing with celebrity thing. The main popularity of exhibition fights or "unusual boxing match" kind of thing started from Floyd Mayweather vs Conan McGregor fight. They have created all that hype around boxer vs "other non boxer" fights. But, if their fight was more or less competitive, then other fights are only to get money.
