I saw some clips while Buakaw is on training and he show there that he eat all those punches then still he is standing like a strong man. I don't know this fighter since I'm not familiar with Muay thai but for seeing that also he's record and achievements we can say that he's not easy even if they fight by boxing rules. Pacquiao gain lots of pounds since maybe due to his recent activities and busy schedule, but once this fight is approaching then for sure we can see a well fit money since this is what he actually do to make sure that he is in full condition.

This is an exhibition fight so i think the rules will be different from regular boxing rules like there are only 2 minutes per round and I could say that with that time, nobody could hurt anybody. I mean, the time is too short for them to engage. Pacman is a boxer while Buakaw is a Muay Thai fighter so it's a no-brainer that Pacman has the advantage in this exhibition fight while I also don't think bookies will cover this fight just like the last exhibition fight of Pacman.

There is no retirement for this man. But there is no mention of the location yet so maybe they are still negotiating where they will do it. Since Pacman is so rich I'm guessing the funds will be for the Gaza? He is doing this all the time so there is no surprise.

Pacman and Floyd seem to be enjoying all their exhibitions while the commenters below this article are seriously bitter about these exhibition fights.

Maybe a portion of Pacquiao's proceeds will go to the recently earthquake striken victims in his province or nearby cities that was also hit by 7+ magnitude earthquakes followed by hundreds of aftershocks. As long as promotions arrange exhibition fights I don't think they are gonna reject the deal because it is all about money and fun but aside from those things I think Manny or even his opponent is waiting for this opportunity to prove something on this match.

Well yeah it's normal to take sides but yeah just get ready for this opportunity to place a bet.

Maybe Manny just wanted to be active in 2024, after all, boxing did great for him, and that's why he still prefer to fight even after his retirement. And with the reports of how much money he can earn fighting Buakaw, I wouldn't be surprised that him and Floyd are going to fight late this year for one of the biggest fight.
So don't be confused, Pacquiao s Buakaw first in April and then I reckon that in the last quarter of this year, Manny vs Floyd.
And you can also say that to Mayweather as well, no retirement for him, just continue to box and make money.

Because of how they ended up when they fully retired from boxing where they barely making enough money to pay their expenses and wants, they choose to take advantage of eery current opportunity because the payment and huge opportunity to make huge money are still there and Manny is not a type of a person to fight these guys who are not boxers but because of money, he will going to do it and the same for Mayweather all these times when he fought those YouTubers and other MMA celebrities because the payment is hard to decline.

He lost a lot of money for last election so its expected that he will chase more fight just to earn back those losses he encounter from last year. He take advantage his fame which is good since they can still earn a lot of money from exhibition fights. I just wondering if they perform like a real professional match since he's opponent(Buakaw) is really a strong man and money can't play cool on him since he have power and solid physique that's why its dangerous for him if he's to over confident on this match. Next lets say Mayweather will be their big target and after that its up for him to decide if he pursue his want to fight another celebrities since nothing wrong with this since its like grabbing an opportunity to earn while he's still capable to do it.

We can only base on the rules though, and in this case, it's boxing so Pacman has the advantage. And looking at the physical body of Pacquiao, obviously he has gain some pounds already and not that like 10% body or less when we see him fight.

But I think he can still box as he has been into this sports since 16 years old. So he just need to train hard again and for sure those reflexes and power will come back to him as it is God given. I do agree that Mayweather will be the biggest target of Pacman late next year.

We do know that when it comes to exhibition fights then performance or fight wouldnt really be serious. We do even see cross sports matches but it do really ends up on boxing rules and terms on which it is understandable that those fighters who are really that known on such field would really be having the advantage. Even these fellas are already retired but still we can really expect something from them in terms of fight performance.It might not be the same on their prime but at least seeing them again on the ring is something that interesting. Speaking about political matters then it is really that something personal.
Its none of our business if he had spent out tons of money on that running for President. There's no solid proof that they dont have already the money and thats why they have decided to take some exhibition fights
just for them to have that at least some patch up.

Pacquiao does have that 2 fights for this year on which if this one is really that been hyped up then expect that money would flow through. Its none of our business on how much they do earn
on it. If you do hate up for them on making money then you could always opt not to see or watch their fight. You are not a loss. Cheesy

Yeah, that's most likely it is. He can be back to his passion and sport anytime he wishes despite that he's no longer in the competitive scene, still there are a lot of people demanding him to see back in the ring whether it's just all for a show or an exhibition match. What matters is that he's still there and people will be flocking to his matches no matter what happens. That seems to be the most important matter now and he's also getting paid with the sum that he's demanding and that's why he's still on it despite that his age is no longer getting younger.

Thanks, it's just so happen that Buakaw and Pacquiao's match has been announced and there goes the match with Floyd. And usually that the fight will be probably on the next near to Christmas day so that there will be a lot of money that's going to flow on that match. They can handle it and I think that it's a hot match and if Pacquiao wins, a lot of fans are going to be satisfied with that and it doesn't matter even it's not a titled match.

I know Buakaw can take a hit because of being a Muay Thai fighter but I wonder how he will fare in a boxing match, as far as I know, this is his first time fighting in a boxing match(right?), he will be at a disadvantage against Pacquiao, but I hope they can give us a good show. both of these fighters are legendary in their sport.

I think that there's also this scenario in the same sport, a UFC fighter and boxer in a boxing ring. But I have forgotten on who were the fighters are. On this match with Buakaw and Pacquiao, it's certainly an advantage for Pacquiao but it's all about the money that both of them are going to make and that's why this match is anticipated.

Now, I am confused. Is there already a date for the match of Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather when these two announcements came out at the same time? So for first this year of 2024, we're going to see Manny Pacquiao on the ring twice. I guess that there's really no retirement for him and he just can't get out of his passion and even they're just going to be delegations or exhibition matches, he's willing to go in for it.

Maybe Manny just wanted to be active in 2024, after all, boxing did great for him, and that's why he still prefer to fight even after his retirement.

Yes, and that's why MMA is really harder as compare to boxing, and every exhibition match that involves a MMA fighter is being held in boxing rules, not the other way around as boxers have the disadvantage but MMA fighters knows how to strike.

That's for sure that the boxers don't have an advantage if the match is going to happen on an MMA format but I don't think that we'll see boxers do that exhibition. What we're mostly going to see are just going to be MMA fighters going inside a boxing ring. Well, these days it's no longer about the passion for the sport, as long as there's clout then it means that there's also the money. I guess that with the big names on every sport, if they need some quick pay check. This is what they're going to do and even in amateur fighters, they'll fight an exhibition as long as the price is right.

There is no date for Manny vs Floyd, for now it's speculation as they have their respective fights to complete. Obviously Manny hear against the Thai legend, and then Floyd in February for a rematch against Gotti Jr, their first fight ended in a melee.

It's not a speculation because the announcement for his fight against Floyd is Pacquiao himself. But I guess let it happen soon and let Manny go against first with Buakaw. It's just so happen that with a single announcement he did, there's already a huge noise that as long as his name is involved with the match, the people will also go there so there's still a huge market for this living legend and sure that every fan of his is surely proud of him. So, if their matches are set to come this 1st-2nd quarter of 2024 then we may expect the match to happen nearly the end of the year I guess.

I saw this news a few days ago and wasn’t sure if it was credible. There have been so many rumored Pacquiao fights that never really materialized like the ones against McGregor and Ryan Garcia.

The McGregor fight didn't push and it ended up in a lawsuit for Manny and losing to Paradigm Sports Management and wins $5.1M judgment against Pacquiao.

out of curiosity, what was the reason why their fight didn't push through and why was there a lawsuit filed against Pacquaoi?

As for the money involved here:

Quote

Promotor Vinij Lertratanachai revealed that the $25million exhibition will be six rounds of boxing, each round being three minutes, with two minute breaks in-between. The fighters will compete at 154lbs (70kg), which is the equivalent of super welterweight in boxing, and junior middleweight in Muay Thai.

https://www.si.com/fannation/mma/news/manny-pacquiao-to-fight-thai-boxing-legend-in-25m-exhibition

I thought it's Thai Baht, but the report says USD so that is huge already. But we are not sure about the split itself, but I think Pacquaio as the A-side of this fight will get the biggest split here. And it's interesting how Vinij Lertratanachai the CEO of Fresh Air Festival is willing to shred that huge amount just to see this 2 legends in the ring.

If it is legitimate then it should be an interesting bout. Buakaw is not some random youtuber or some undersized guy going up in weight. He is a recently active fighter with some experience in bare knuckle boxing. Although Pacquiao should be the favorite, I believe Buakaw could still be somewhat competitive against him.

With exhibition matches we don’t really know if it is a scripted result or not so there might not be many casinos taking bets on this fight.

I think it's legitimate, we can't compare this to McGregor as we haven't seen any promotion during that fight. But here, Manny and Buakaw did go the public already and it was officially announced, so it's a go.

For sure both still have the fire in their belly and be competitive plus the motivation to get another great paycheck, specially for Buakaw. Grin

There are a lot of what if in a athlete, Floyd is different that's why he hasn't lost but you can't say that to other fighters as well?

And maybe you can say that to other sports athlete let's say a NBA player who also earn a lot but after retiring, all their money is gone?

Honestly we don't know their real financial status, but if they are smart enough to use their popularity, they'll continue making money. Some celebrities are living a lavish life but they are making a lot of money as well, they continue to work to sustain their way of living, that's their life.

Here, I guess let's just focus on the upcoming fight, what I'm sure is this fight gonna give both fighters good paycheck, and people are gonna watch it because both are very popular, especially Manny who is a legend in boxing.

Is Pacquiao running out of money now? Just thinking about that but the passion will remain as he's a fighter, he'll always be.

These exhibition matches are going to be quick payment for him and whoever is going to agree fighting him. Well, at least we're still able to watch him fight before he fully retires and out of these fights.

I guess both fighters will just don't take it as if it's an exhibition match.

Well there were rumors that when he ran for President of the Philippines, he depleted his money and bank account. But I doubt it though, he has established himself and as far as I know he has a lot of houses still in the US. So that alone shows that he still has a lot of money.

But in this case, I mean why not? if he can still bankroll from his name then he should do it. And I think he learn this from Floyd Mayweather himself. As Floyd is making millions doing exhibition matches since he retired and people still wanting to see him in the ring.

Rumors are baseless, he may run the Presidency but he didn't deplete all his money because he has a lot of businesses.
As per report, in 2023 his net worth is a whooping $220 million. ( so stop that speculation or rumors)

Let us not assume that because a fighter who gain popularity in his pro, retired, and then try to go with exhibition fights are struggling with money? Maybe in the past it's reasonable, but now it's not anymore because it has been the trend, Mayweather goes into this exhibition fights too, is he struggling?

And that's why it is called rumor isn't? Or you can even call this fake news as we all know that in politics, specially in Philippines, opposing political parties will do everything to destroys someone images and Pacquiao is not immune to it.

There are a lot of what if in a athlete, Floyd is different that's why he hasn't lost but you can't say that to other fighters as well?

And maybe you can say that to other sports athlete let's say a NBA player who also earn a lot but after retiring, all their money is gone?

Pacquiao is my countryman and there's no truth to rumors that he is struggling with money Pacquiao knows how to handle his money he has billionaire friends who advise him on how to take care of money and how to do diversification, Manny just doesn't like inactivity all his life he is in action he started boxing at a very young age, and it's hard to take the love of boxing out of his system.
He is running his boxing promotion the MP Promotion and co-founded a Basketball league https://www.mpbl.com.ph/about/ he still owns a lot of properties and is still one of the richest people in the Philippines.

That's the truth, he owns a lot of property, and as long as we didn't see him struggling financially, we can make a speculation that he is struggling. His fight with Buakaw is just his way in enjoying his passion and taking advantage on his popularity. I'm sure if we were in the shoes of Pacman, we would do the same because this is what we called an "easy money", and however he spend it, that's up to him.

One thing I've noticed, there's a lot of exhibition matches recently and YouTubers doing boxing matches already this year, I don't find it awful but I'm weirded out because it's a fun event to happen, I hope we get to see more of them though.

I am not familiar with other youtube boxing stats, the people I know are the Paul Brothers, Logan and Jake, they are very active in promoting their fight and we can say that it's a successful fight, especially Jake who's been active lately.

This is the trend now, they know that there's a lot of money in boxing, even a UFC fighter admitted that he made more money in boxing than in UFC.
Just like Francis Ngannou, a UFC fighter, although his fight with Fury wasn't considered as an exhibition fight but I just want to point out here how much he made in boxing compared to what he made in UFC.

As per report,

Ngannou has been reported to have secured a payday of $10 million for this fight.

So this is an exhibition fight I hope both legends will not hurt each other because both fighters are still in their top condition especially Manny Pacquiao but I never estimated Buakaw is a legend in his league, he was very dangerous during his time.
You cannot stop these two legends from their respective fields when fighters retire they usually become inactive physically, they just manage new boxers or create a promotion, so with these two fighters, we will see if they are still in top form.
The format is very different and is meant to protect both fighters hopefully it is a friendly match I'm rooting for Pacquiao to win this match, I have seen him in his practice and he is still in top form.

Of course it is an exhibition fight and even if you do wish that I'm sure that they'll probably try their best to not hurt each other but I'm sure they're both a showman so they'll take this match seriously and put some power in their punches. I don't know about top form though, that's a tall order for their age so don't expect too much from them, they're kind of like an old tigers; they still got the bite but they're not that spry or deadly anymore.

One thing I've noticed, there's a lot of exhibition matches recently and YouTubers doing boxing matches already this year, I don't find it awful but I'm weirded out because it's a fun event to happen, I hope we get to see more of them though.
