And so easy win and money for Floyd, maybe another Japanese at the end of the year for him?

We will have to wait for Pacquiao's exhibition match this December though and then after that he has a schedule as well next year.

Sad but true mate, it's the promotion and network ties that preventing us to witnessed great fight in this division. Although I'm seeing the Lomchenko vs Haney can be made because they are tied to Bob Arum's Top Rank. But the other fight like Garcia and Davis, Golden Boy/Premier Boxing, might be hard to make this fight and Oscar recently criticizes PBC, siding with Crawford when he reveal what goes behind the scene on the negotiation between him and Al Haymon. And same with the Cruz vs Stevenson, although ordered by the world governing bodies, possible that it won't happen because of boxing politics.

There are a lot of great boxers now but their promotions are the one stopping them from meeting in the ring, one example is the Spence - Crawford, the boxers should have a say on who he wants to fight, Garcia has been badly wanting to fight Davis for a long time, but it's not happening, hopefully now that Garcia is showing eagerness again Davis camp will sit up and make a deal, Loma is always ready to fight anybody and so is Haney so we'll see this two going at each other next year with no problem with their respective promotions, its time that great boxers meet in the ring and promoters agree to complete the deal.

Yes, it's not a bad opponent and it could be dangerous as well. But it seems that he is no ducking anyone as what he said, he is more willing to face the dangerous Isaac Cruz.

We have a lot of fights in the wing, Garcia vs Davis, these two have been promising us boxing fans for a fight, hopefully it will push through next year regardless of their network. And then for all the belts, Haney vs Loma, another great fight for us, Loma used to have all the belts, but Haney's skills are too much for Kambosos. Who knows, maybe Kambosos will figure out how to stay in the division as well to mess things up.

Those expected or anticipated fights might take place next year. Loma and Haney both won their respective fight and the possibilities
that they will meet inside the ring next year is already been there before they finished their last fight.

Fans will be looking forward to see how Loma will try to challenge the current belt holder, a good test for both him and Haney as they
can really entertain the fans with how they handle their opponents.

We already had that doubt because Shakur gave a few hints that 130 lbs is not for him anymore and so it happened in his last weigh-in. Anyway, not a bad opponent for Shakur Stevenson's first fight because Pitbull will get him tested if he does have the skills and talents to defeat the boxers at the top of lightweight division.

And indeed, lightweight division are getting much attention these days than welterweight because the elites are stacked there and so there will be a lot of interesting fights that could happen next year, hopefully that includes Garcia vs Davis and Loma vs Haney.

Well, you are right about that, what if you want to see is that Tyson will see himself standing as he has always done, and a Tyson fight that is an exhibition, like him, he will take it very seriously, I remember when he He himself said that he was not going to do exhibition fights unless it was for a lot of money, and it should be like that, for me Tyson is a Living Legend and even if he does exhibition fights I think that I am satisfied with that, if nothing else with the movie he did of "Maestro Ipman" acted in a sepecutacular way, I can't imagine this epele that is something very good, of course, all the tickets must be sold out.


I believe that Manny as it is necessary to have more exhibition fights, if what he now wants is to have more beneficial works is something that respect and like, but do they think that Pacquiao is no longer dedicated to boxing more professionally? Somehow I have to see that he has exhibition fights and not as a poollithic, his life is in boxing, well it is what I think, I know that Pacquiao is a boxer who has enough travel.

When it is trotted with boxers and fighters of the UFC it is very common that the boxers always have advantages, the fighters of the UFCTan enough experience but fighting against the same, with boxers the thing changes, I think that Paquiao can bring them to fight it, Because if you will give you money, people are curious to see a legend with fighters who are representative of the UFC, if you look for that I think it will give you money, and a lot.

And well, Pacquiao cannot complain, because even in Teine movies in their projects:

Manny Pacquiao set to release movie on Asian hate crimes ‘Almighty Zeus’

True, this is another reason why Manny is into exhibition after retiring.  It is to sustain the lavish lifestyle of his family.   Besides, I think this MMA opponent is more decent than DK Yoo.


He is a former UFC champion, a more decent fighter than DK Yoo, from that many might get interested, they can plan a hype for the fight but I think having Manny is enough to hype the fight  .

Well, just like Mayweather Manny Pacquiao had literal Money on his name, and just like Mayweather fighting him could surely get you profit, because there will be a lot of sponsors that will surely support those fights and make a deal of money for them, in actuality this is a great opportunity for a retired fighter to get some instant large profit and for the MMA fighters that only got a handful of money will surely take almost millions, well this is the truth about combat sports it can surely provide some and it could even take lives if some ignored the signs,


Well, comparing the Paul Brothers DK Yoo doesn't have many subscribers, I think if Manny Pacquiao would create his youtube account I believe he can bust that Subscriber of DK Yoo with just ease because he is that famous, that is why DK Yoo is loving how Manny Pacquiao accepted this offer because he is a walking pile of money even though that might expose DK Yoo for not being a true fighter, or his technique is not meant for Boxing, because Martial Arts kung-fu has more movement than boxing, but this is a great opportunity for DK Yoo if he learns something from his first exhibition match, against Bradley Scott,

Yes, everyone is anticipating Shakur moving up to light weight division because there are a lot elite fighters in that division. And I would say that it is the hottest division right now, more that the welterweight division (which historically is the premier division in boxing).

But all roads to Devin Haney as he is the undisputed.

And so we have Garcia vs Davis, wanted to fight, with Davis paper weight.

And then Loma vs Haney for all the belts.

And then Shakur entering the picture against Cruz (if the fight pushes through next year).

He said before and after the fight with Robson that he is done with the 130 lbs division. Because his body can't take it no more. And so he is calling like Davis, Loma and Haney. And if I'm not mistaken, he was there watching Davis last fight and again said him and Davis will make a great fight.

But if he will get Isaac Cruz as a title eliminator,  it's more than welcome for him. At least he can showcase his talent against a hard hitting boxer like Isaac.

Lightweight is solid right now, lots of good boxer, pretty stack up division.

I got your point, I think Manny accepting some Youtuber as his first exhibition match will be like testing new waters for him. And it's easy to accept, Youtuber is known in South Korea, lots of followers and that's what exhibition match is, like the Paul Brothers who is also a successful Youtuber themselves before they "invented" this niche and now making money fighting anything that can bring "hype" to the fight.

Do you think that Edgar has want it takes? Does he have the hype, like Silva or any other known former UFC fighter? Can he bring more money in the table for Manny for his next exhibition fight?

Not just the taste or having the chance to share the same stage with the legendary Manny Pacquiao but they are also viewing Pacquiao as a good ground to make a good money and possibly the biggest payout in their whole career. Can't blame them to try and call Pacquiao to have a bout with them because of those benefits they could have if they're given the chance.

Right! I forgot that Stevenson have already climbed to the lightweight division because he missed the weight needed last time versus Robson, well, thanks for sharing mate. This is interesting because the lightweight are now packed with interesting boxers who wants to have their shot on the title and face Devin Haney in the end.

This is good for Shakur because he will be fighting a decent boxer in his debut in this division and I'm expecting that he wouldn't have any struggles with Pitbull because Shakur have the most advantages compared to the latter.

Wow! Manny Pacquiao is pretty much busy right now but if I have correctly remembered his 1st exhibition match was agaisnt Jesus Salud a 3-round bout on Aug 20, 2002, and Pacman won it, next was on Oct 23, 2022, (Haha)Ha Dong-hoon and Kim Jong-kook a Non-scored bout 2 against 1 but I think this is just for entertainment value and this coming Dec 11, 2022, he will have a Catchweight bout against Martial Artist Youtuber DK Yoo, And after DK Yoo, Manny Pacquiao will be having another bout against former sparring partner Jaber Zayani, It will be on the middle east but no given date yet, and now this I am really shocked seeing this news, that Frankie Edgar wants an exhibition match against Manny Pacquiao, which I think will be great and Frankie Edgar will be badly needing this and want a big play for him to have a big cut,

Could be, but still Beterbiev is not the kind of man that you can underestimate because that will be your end for sure, it's still best for Yarde to finish his fight with this Koykov first and then make sure he will be ready for fighting a monstrous man. Beterbiev is already near his 40's but the man can still knock his opponent down.

Anyway, about this unification of Bivol and Beterbiev or Yarde, I hope that it will still happen even if there's a huge stumbling block. If ever Beterbiev will win, there might be some problems tho because Bob won't surely want Hearn's company to be touching anything. Bob already said that, the fight will only happen on ESPN alone if incase they want a discussion to make the fight happen.

I'm surprised if Shakur want to move to lightweight division, after I read a news on 3 weeks ago if Shakur losses all his belts because he missed the weight against Conceicao, it's make sense. Well Isaac Cruz is a good stepping stone for Shakur before he want to fight Haney, Loma or Tank. Lightweight division is very exciting and bloody since each boxers has capabilities to beat the other boxers.

Maybe the real champion on lightweight division need to fight the top 5 boxers before he need to move to the next weight.

Yes, Stevenson vs Cruz will be a great matchup. Cruz almost upset or at least gave Tank Davis a difficult fight and others say that maybe Cruz won it. And Tank said that Isaac head is very tough, LOL.

So Stevenson will be tested here, he might show his defensive prowess and maybe play along.

But Isaac is all guts and glory and for sure he wouldn't back down and will be the aggressor in this fight. That is if this fight can be made without any hitch.

Everyone is motivated to fight whether pro or exhibition match for the money. Just like the Paul brothers, they have been making a killing in the last 2 years doing exhibition fights and making millions.

Although Manny Pacquiao is reach, but I guess most of the sports personalities are lavish with their family. So I think later down the line Pacquiao will accept money for this exhibition fight regardless of who is his opponents will be, MMA or boxers alike.

It is an exhibition match and I think Manny will welcome it.  If not, why does Manny accept a fight against a YouTuber and a martial arts instructor?  I believe the call of money will be a good motivation for Manny Pacquiao to at least think about the possibility of an exhibition fight against Frankie.  So I guess we need some time if the exhibition fight between these two retirees will happen since Manny has another exhibition fight after DK Yoo.
