As long as there are fans that are willing to pay this exhibition match, it will continue. The Paul Brothers and Floyd Mayweather are making huge money. Even those former boxers and MMA fighters as well.

That's true, only the fans can stop this madness because without the fans they will not make money. It's robbing the real boxing fight because the revenue might be split or it won't be able to maximize the profit of the professional fights, but it's not the fault of the promoters of exhibition fights because boxing whether it's professional or exhibition still belongs to entertainment.

A lot of people.would probably be watching this just to see Pacman go in the ring again though of coursw with less intensity. Most probably, the stadium would not be filled by hardcore fans of boxings but jusr of enthusiasts. Pacman still has the power punches and speed at his disposal, but DK Yoo is still a formidable opponent that also has a lot power packing in his every punch.

As far as filling the stadium and bringing sits in the table, I think otherwise. It will still be filled with fans of Manny hardcore or casuals fans of boxing. And that's what really separate Manny from the rest, he is a legendary that can really attract fans and boxers alike. But yeah, he will fight with less intensity, not giving his full power as he can knockout his opponent with a single punch.

I think Manny is still good for a few years of exhibition matches that can still be exciting for the public to watch until it is exciting no more.

This is an exhibition match so I think the main concern here is the participant's safety.  I think this kind of fight is scripted and possibly the winner will have been decided in the deal script.  This is just a money-grab fight where some of the proceeds will go to charity, as stated by @OP.

In this match, DK Yoo is heavier than Manny so I am quite interested in which weight division they are fighting.  Regardless of weight, I believe we can see Manny dominating this fight for the sole reason of his boxing experience.

Most likely, boxing celebrities had already found a way to still make money after retirement, Pacman has just followed the path of Mayweather, they had retired in boxing already but still want to fight for money. If this is scripted, then we know who would win already, hopefully, there's a betting odds so I would bet on DK Yoo to survive the entire rounds.

Knowing that both fighter is at age 43, I think all advantages except weight goes to Manny Pacquiao.  So it won't be a surprise if Manny win this match.

If anyone is interested on DK Yoo stats:


The fight looks uninteresting but for the korean fans, I think it will be a full venue.

At least when it comes to Manny I think we are still going to see him when he is still a good boxer, the exhibition fights that we are watching these days include stars of other sports that are not good boxers, social media personalities and old boxers which had not gotten above the ring for a very long time, at least in the case of Manny we know he can box and he can do it at a high enough level to actually give a decent exhibition fight and it is one of the few I would be interested in watching.

Yeah, right, they found another way to continue making money. If Mayweather attracts an audience, I'm pretty sure that Pacquiao will do better it just a matter of how they will promote the event and how wide the scope of audiences that they are targeting. It's a good start in showing what Pacquiao still got, though it's an exhibition and most of the time it's a scripted fight so we will expect who will going to win between the two.

Maybe after this, if Pacquiao succeed with exhibition type of fight then we might see known names for him.

Though unlike what Mayweather is doing, it's good for Pacquiao to face the former champ in the same sport..

also, I saw in one of the articles that Proceeds from the event will be donated

Just to clarify that the event is not an event where proceeds will be donated to the homeless in the Philippines and families affected in Ukraine.

Pacquiao said that "part" of his earnings here will be donated to poor families in the Philippines.
DK Yoo said that "part" of his earnings here will be donated to the families affected in Ukraine.

These are optional for them but the point of his match is for entertainment purposes and not a helping charity event.

I am surprised no one is talking about this here yet, I guess it's probably because no one really knows who DK Yoo is(even I don't know who he is).

That was already out of the news for a long and it's obvious that our boxing enthusiast here didn't even show an interest in creating a thread here about that. It was mentioned on the Boxing Discussion general thread but I don't see it needs any further discussion. I think that fight is not even worth creating its own thread here.

As far as I know, this fight won't be even listed by bookies for the obvious reason that it's an exhibition match.

This should be locked as I think no gambling-related here. Cheesy

I guess that Pacquiao will surely lightly punch DK Yoo since it will just end the match if he starts punching hard and avoiding the punches and it will not be more interesting to watch for viewers. This match is just entertainment and we don't know if the prize will really go to charity.

Just like in the previous fight Mayweather, it's just the money.
I think Pacquiao didn't use any extra power for that fight because his opponent wasn't a boxer but just a youtuber, so there's no interesting facts about the exhibition fight but just entertainment and money even though it's for charity. Based on rumors that Pacquiao will have another exhibition fight in January next year against Jaber Zayani, I prefer the fight next year because he is fighting a boxer so he has to fight strong to dominate his opponent's abilities.
Pacquio might be old but fighting some boxers which arent really that on the same level or division then he wont really be able to put up much effort.Age is just a number but the experience he has and the power
isnt something a joke despite on being on the old age.Doesnt matter if its a boxer or not which it would really be still turning out to be an easy match for Pacquiao but since he do go after for charitable actions
then its really still commendable or something you could say that you could still support even he's already retired.You could really see that he has sympathy to those people
who are unfortunate.

Im always a fan of pacman but let us accept the fact that he's not as focused as before with boxing. His visions were altered by his other ambitions as a basketball team playing coach and as a politician. He still got the juice or skills indeed, but not as refined as before. Age? possible. But bottomline here is that his odds of winning is not as big as before even on the weighing in phase. So it's a 50-50 on my end, his opponent is strong as well we cannot disregard that.

I support Pacquiao doing exhibitions, he's still got it and he still wants to box but unfortunately, his level is not on the level of top boxers in his division or in any division, boxers tend to gain weight when they stop doing what they love doing like training, by doing exhibition he can still show his fans his moves, put his body in the top level and at the same time make money, we all know his failed presidential campaign took a lot from his finances, so he can gain a portion on what he lost.

I will follow you with Manny's capabilities. He can show it up inside the ring by doing exhibition and knowing how he still loves doing his stuff for sure.
Power of experience indeed. But capacities has limitations based on one's bodies. But I'm not saying pacman won't completely have a chance to overcome the contender, but for sure he'd have a tough fight this time.

I'm also surprised it came up here since I've seen DK Yoo in the past having some trouble with people who doesn't want to believe in him anymore after he got lost to a boxing match with Bradley Scott. There's a lot of controversy about him losing after the fight but it doesn't matter since I don't care about all of that since I totally respected his decision to not to engage in this kind of people and just continue to live their lives.

Above all that, I like his style it's just that it's not suited for boxing since it was more like a survival kind of martial arts and fighting with real fighters in the ring seems a bit too much for him to handle since it was all about stamina and a strong body plus not to mention the difference of having a rules inside the ring.

If they were going to fight with Manny Pacquiao or Bradley Scott during his younger age he might have a chance but for now, I highly doubt he would win this time around since he's getting old in terms of age and stamina.

This fight probably is just an exhibition matches that we have seen which is getting a trend just to let them fight with someone because people like to watch and pay for them just like how they picked Mayweather vs Paul Logan.

The fans who still idolizing him will support his fight. Though it's just an exhibition but for sure there's still the old movement that fans loves to see from him, In terms of moneymaking, he will surely get a decent amount from each exhibition aside from the charity profits, there's still advertisement that may take place.

I saw the announcement for this fight in my social media newsfeed but don't bother to create a thread on this forum as I'm not a fan of exhibition matches because most of the bookies won't cover exhibition fights but on the side, it will also be good to see Manny back in the ring again to see if where he is at now in terms of speed and power or can he knock out his opponent.

For sure DK Yoo's (don't know him also) popularity will skyrocket by just facing Manny and also his followers will increase depending on the outcome of this fight.

That's for sure, and hopefully, he will be alright after this fight, if this is a scripted exhibition fight, he will be safe but if Pacman will fight like a pro, he might hurt DK Yoo and that gained of followers will be useless if he will be heavily injured.

I guess that Pacquiao will surely lightly punch DK Yoo since it will just end the match if he starts punching hard and avoiding the punches and it will not be more interesting to watch for viewers. This match is just entertainment and we don't know if the prize will really go to charity.

Very interesting, I didn’t have any idea that he was still fighting or even thinking about doing so. I will probably tune in just because it’s well, Pacquiao. 

Yes, we never thought that Pacquiao will also do this exhibition fights. I personally think that he will not go this route because he is a warrior by heart and not like Floyd who is doing it for the money. Nevertheless, there is a good cause behind this fight so I guess it's good that we will still see him fighting even in exhibition match.

I will forever be pissed off though that the Pacquiao Vs Mayweather fight never took place while they were both still in their prime. It’s on reason why boxing isn’t as popular as it once was. If you can’t get the two best guys to fight, there’s obviously something very wrong with your league/set up.

Oh well, it was really late in their career, specially on Manny because Floyd fought him when Manny was already knock out cold by Marquez, so he is already "soft" and then Manny is not 100% because he has shoulder injury during the fight. But that is history already.

Yeah, it's for entertainment for raising funds for charities and that's a good thing.

So, there's no need to exceed the expectation of most of us and just have fun with the match. Whatever will be the result of it, there's no hard feelings for both of them.

They're both professional people and they're just trying to help people with the fund and as well as for the entertainment and joy that they can pass on through the boxing ring.
and also this is a Big Break for DK Yoo as admit it or not? he is not that popular at all so having this fight even a exhibition box? his name will be added some as this is Manny Pacquiao that he is facing in the ring.

But sad that I think there is no Bookies for this as exhibition mostly not gaining many bets , hope there will be interested site to bring this as gambling material.
Yeah.

It's like a dream of other boxers to fight Pacquiao because there's an instant fame for them whether they win or not. Being attached with a fight to the legend is always been a good thing for these boxers because it's coming once in a lifetime.

And on this one, it's a collaboration that they're aware of that the proceeds will go mostly to the charities which is a good thing. The fight is still months away and that's probably why you haven't seen it yet on books.
