It is possible.  Aside from giving in to the request of some of his fans, he also has a way to put more money in his stash and at the same time gather funds for some charities.

Even though I believe Manny is a kind-hearted charity oriented person, I cannot remove the possibility that he accepted the fight for monetary purposes.  Besides, the exhibition fight doesn't have to put anyone at risk since they can always put anything on the contract including not hurting each other but just to showcase their fighting skills and technique.


Who knows, probably he will run again on the next election if not a president, senator or congressman maybe.  But I believe this exhibition fight is pure sports since the election isn't around yet.

No news yet about Canelo yet on whom he will likely face next because he just came out from a trilogy fight against his long rival, Golovkin. Some rumors saying that he will activate his rematch after Bivol-Ramirez fight but I guess Canelo will not activate that if Ramirez will win because Bivol won't have belts by that time.


Yes, David needed to climb through the ranks until he can be in the position next to Canelo or #3 in the supper middle weight. I guess that will be in the next few years when he is at the height of his prime and by that time, probably, he'd score against Canelo as the Mexican undisputed champion is not in his prime anymore.

Not sure about that possibilities, I mean the ticket is expensive, maybe yes there are some millionaires who can afford to buy but the majority will still watch this fight, it's Pacquiao and they are still believing that even if it's only an exhibition, they will be impress from the speed that Pacquiao still got even he's away from this sport. Maybe there would be some satisfied viewers that can say that Pacquiao still has it and still can continue for a real fight. Don't know but that possibilities still there once we've seen him inside the ring even it's just an exhibition.

Though the main purpose is for the benefits of this fight beneficiaries but we don't know what or how the performer will bring the entertainment to the fans and audiences that will support and buy the tickets.

Manny can actually run fundraising for charities or even donate using his own wealth like what he used to do to help people in the Philippines. He usually uses his own money to help the poor so I don't doubt his purpose this time. I'm sure that he really wants to help a charity but he also wants to pursue his passion at the same time. He can't go to another regular match since he already announced his retirement so he will be doing the charity works the way he will enjoy his passion. It's also exciting to see the boxing champ in the ring again after a long time. He's not in politics anymore so I don't think there's a political agenda behind this exhibition match. He might only want to do the sport that he used to enjoy before and as for me, he should still grab the chance as long as he still has strong stamina to enjoy boxing.

It's already set and that's one reason why he has accepted the deal for this match, knowing that it's for a charity cause he never escalated and thought twice.

I don't see him doing this with political agenda. He's already past that and he's more for anything he want to do and all of these fights, I guess that his passion for boxing is just hard to remove even if he's already announced retirement.

I don't think they have some beef, for me signing the contract for an Exhibition fight was really what Manny Pacquiao is after while Jaber Zayani just really wants to fight Pacquaio just a confirmation if his skills really improve I think this is just a fight to help Jaber Zayani with his career and while getting Jaber Zayani ready for a much upper fight in Zayani's career, and fighting Pacquaio could also mean one thing an Exhibition match surely provide a lot of money, and I think Jaber Zayani is saying that he will not think this fight as an exhibition only fight and will be giving his all is that he truly knows what Manny Pacquiao is really capable off and to hype the fight,


I Agree, an exhibition match like this can surely generate a huge sum of profit and money for them, and knowing Pacquiao really likes charity work it could be possible he doesn't hesitate in getting into this fight just to give to the people, but for me, he doesn't need to do such things, if this is to really help out then it is OK but if this could have a hidden agenda or for politics purposed then I really don't like it, in actually I like him as a boxer, an artist and father to his kids, and doing charitable work, or being a senator, but I am against him running for Presidency, for me, he is not really cut to being President,


Probable and probably not, who would probably don't want to settle down with a good record right, but Manny Pacquiao is the one that can answer this, I am just giving my opinion in what I think, even though Manny Pacquiao has some losses I have said that he doesn't want to probably tainted even more his record with losses and I agree he resign because he way passes his prime already and he has had enough, that his body can not handle anymore, and I also think that Exhibition match is way safer that with regular fights,

Agree with what you say, we know that Manny during his career in the ring I never saw him avoid a single match and I appreciate that because that is a very good thing in my opinion.
Even if we look at his last fight against Ugas because it was Spence's time which was originally scheduled to be postponed because he said he had a problem with his eyes at that time.
Even though he lost at the end and decided to hang up his boxing gloves, he is still one of the people I think is a legend.

Do you seriously think Manny cared much about his record like Mayweather? Manny did not duck a single fight, who ever comes up to the table he'd always gladly accept every challenge that comes along his way all throughout the 8 divisions.
He decided to resign because he has done more than enough and father time is already calling.
Also, nobody is having a death wish in an exhibition matches. DK Yoo or even Jake Paul is also trained to be a fighter. While Manny and Anderson are all past their prime. This isn't a serious match anyway.

Thanks for specifying and more clarity about the share and where they'll put the profits from this exhibition match that they'll do.

I'm sure that most of the athletes has their own charities to support and the majority of them has a good heart. Some just don't want to share it on the public on which charities they're helping.

Kind of crazy that Mayweather is saying him and McGregor are going to rematch and McGregor is saying he’s not interested. Starting to seem like Mayweather is losing his shine a bit if he’s chasing MMA fighters around for fights. I sort of thought he’d be retired by now but he keeps fighting exhibitions. He’s addicted to boxing.

That's what good about Manny though, even if he didn't win the Presidential election, he still find ways to help through his charity program.

And if the money being generated here will go to his projects then God bless his soul. We need more sports athletes like him who have amasses so much money in their prime. Maybe it's time to give it back to the people like what Manny Pacquiao is doing in the Philippines.

It is nice to see a boxing legend use his sports to help needy people.
Most of these exhibition fighters are just pocketing their purses.
At least, the money spent by boxing fans are worth it as it can alleviate some sort of suffering by their chosen organizations.
I am not against with exhibition matches if there is some value to it.
But if it is just for the pocket of the promoter and boxer, I believe people will think twice of buying their ticket.

The exhibition match between Manny Pacquiao and South Korean YouTuber and martial artist DK Yoo will be organized as a pure entertainment match as what an exhibition match should look like. The match doesn't have a specific charity project that will support it, instead, both participants have their own plan for their earnings and proceeds.

Instead, and as you mentioned, some of Pacquiao's earnings here will be used to support his own project, Pacman Project. While on other hand, Yoo will give assistance to relieve operations in Ukraine. How will be the exact share of the cake was not disclosed.

Well, it's actually more of the entertainment that they want to see and one of it is to see their idol. But knowing the fact that the ticket they're paying for will go to the charity.

That will make them more hype on this match because it is for a good cause. There could even fans that would just buy a ticket without watching the exhibition match because they want just to help.

The split of money is there but the main idea is all about the charity.

And it just shows that Canelo might have other plans in the horizon after winning against Canelo. No doubt that David is a rising star in the super middle weight division. But I don't see him beating a prime Canelo. Maybe in the next 2 -3 years, maybe he will have his chance against him, but for now, his father should look on how to build his son and face opponents that will more likely see if he has the potential to become the next future star at 168 lbs instead of chasing Canelo and look for that biggest payday.

David should know the word patience and not to pursue some fights that will be ugly for him as it's not his time to face Canelo yet, as said above, David may have a pretty nice record but he can't boast that to Canelo yet because the latter will just give David his ugly moments that he won't probably forget. Canelo was just giving the kid a chance to grow on his own time and phase, David will have his chance soon but not this time.

The fight tickets will surely sell-out if a date will be determined soon. Anyway, I didn't really expected that, why would Manny fight his former sparring partner in an exhibition fight? Is there some beef between them that I didn't know? Or this is just a born rivalry inside the camp? I'm starting to get curious because out of all boxers or any fighters out there, Manny is going to have an exhibition fight to his former sparring partner, Jaber.

WOW! Pacquiao is getting really ready until the next year, this is surely for his profit gain, most of those exhibition matches that he is establishing, and knowing Manny Pacquaio this money that he will be getting with those Exhibition fights half of those will be going to the needy people because some of this money will be given as a donation that is why for me I would surely like Manny Pacquaio to get many exhibition fights if he can still do it, and if the Paul Brothers would likely want a fight with PACMAN that would be great because I think that fight will be big money, and also a Floyd Mayweather fight will be profitable for him, that is for sure,


An 8-time world division championship boxer is surely not just a title the hardship he did in getting it was really remarkable for me Pacquiao is really something but because of his age, I think it's better to have him fight on these exhibition fights than with a regular match and it is better that he is already retired, and because I think there is more money with this kind of fights,

In this kind of exhibition fans do buy tickets just to see their idol inside the ring, they are not expecting that much but still they will be more entertained if happen that they will see exchanges of punches, and knowing Manny he will not be shy to showcase his remaining skills, that shadow punches that he keeps on throwing I really missed those glory years where we see his opponent not knowing where the punches will be coming from.

Though again, exhibition fights are for money making deals and the good thing here is they have the charity that will receive portions of profits from this schedule events.

^ It's already getting hype by both camps, as Zayani said that he wouldn't hold in this exhibition fight and Manny says the same. If that is the case then we might see a full blown fight.

And regarding Canelo, he responded to David Benavidez dad, as we all know David's father said that his son will beat Canelo.

But Canelo doesn't want to give David the fight because he hasn't accomplished any.
