Topic: iShowspeed vs. Manny Pacquiao exhibition fight? (Read 630 times)

Yes, I think we’ve already shared our thoughts on this thread. I’ve seen what I needed to see, and I believe this thread has served its purpose.

For now, I’ll be locking it, but if there’s any positive development about this potential fight, I’ll unlock it. Thanks for your participation! I can see there are a lot of boxing enthusiasts here, whether it’s for pro or exhibition fights.

I doubt that an exhibition fight is even needed. Under exhibition fight I see two athletes, that at least trained, but as maximum know what combat sports its (and know it not from watching videos). It looks like it will be enough to have 2-3 sparring rounds for iShowspeed against Pacman to realize that the level of iShowspeed not even close to a decent fighter. There is not even need to knockdown iShowspeed, as after few rounds he will die himself due to stamina lack.

Actually he is but boxing is not his sports he play football https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GlRUGJ6rHk and a big fan of Ronaldo.

Speed plan is to visit asian country for sure to get a lot of fans. He knows that asia is big hub for social media users that's why he tries to go there to market his self to get more followers. His past visit with Pacquaio is great introduction for his self to more filipino crowd and he's successful with that since he get a lot of subscribers from Philippines.

Now he's in Malaysia and currently live in his channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws9hCaDuUWQ

And doubt there's a plan to go up higher then make that exhibition fight with Pacquaio to happen. Since for sure he is busy on other things.

It's going nowhere.

iShowspeed is now on Malaysia so I guess after going his roundtrip to South East Asia, he's now going back to his crib and will do his gaming contents.

So, this is not going to happen even a percent of chance.

That's the sole purpose of that visit, he knew that an actual video fighting with Pacman will generates a lots of clicks not just from the local pinoy fans but also those around the world who idolized Pacman, as we  seen in the video he gather that attentions and for sure that glimpse of Pacman's punch he will always remember how tough this legend can be,

though I go with that possibility that an exhibition might happened not unless a huge amount of money will be brought in the table and huge numbers of fans will call for it, some factors that may bring this into reality.

Mike must attract his fan attention to support him rather than iShowspeed because as a Youtuber, iShowspeed can talk too much to his fan and they will support him although he is not a real boxer. I can not imagine how much money both Mike and iShowspeed will receive from that exhibition fight but that will be too big money for them. We hope they can give their 100% best in that fight and hopefully, Mike and iShowspeed will not get a serious injury.

iShowspeed is one of the most famous streamers in the world even on 2022 iShowspeed gets the award as the Breakout Streamer of the Year so certainly he is not an athlete or fighter and his exhibition match while against Manny Pacquiao is not more than for entertainment purposes besides that this is also as part of his world tour because iShowspeed has a plan to visiting some countries and Philippines is one of the countries which he was visiting and he want to met Manny Pacquiao in this country and i am sure there will be no rematch because iShowspeed know his capacity although Manny Pacquiao have already retired but he is a good boxer and it is impossible for iShowspeed to win from Manny Pacquiao

He is not an athlete, as far as I know he is a big social influencer right now, and he just visited the Philippines and then went to Manny Pacquiao's home for the clout and the videos. But it doesn't meant that they will have a exhibition match whatsoever.

He is very young and i think Manny Pacquiao will just destroy this kid. Manny just even give him a glimpse, as he just touch him and then iShowspeed just go and sweep the floor with just 30% of Manny's power. But it's good though, he captured the imagination of the fans around the world and so that will translate into a lot of clicks and subs under his name.

Not so familiar with what the guy called iShowspeed can do or is he even an athlete or a fighter? Because if he's not, then I don't think there will a betting line if there is an exhibition between them lol.
I heard he's a streamer. Well, that only means Manny would easily destroy him even if it's just an exhibition match and it is going to be an unbelievable story if Manny lose and there's a betting line along with the exhibition match.

What the hell? Another exhibition fight for Manny ? He cant be so desperate in money to fight each and every guy who challenges him. Who is iShowspeed? Despite being an internet celebrity, that guy is not even close to sport. If I find it correctly, his best achievement in sports is a sparring match against KSI? Who is not a boxer also Lol, what are we even discussing. A pro boxers vs regular guy in a exhibition fight. Not hard to predict outcome of this fight.

That's an interesting idea! Interesting, if you think about it, particularly in terms of the fans, that an exhibition fight between iShowspeed and Manny Pacquiao be held. The history of big fights behind Pacquiao and the massive popularity that iShowspeed brings forward is quite impressive. So, it's bound to create a lot of buzz and excitement within the online world. You always find the intersection of worlds like streaming and professional sports so fascinating. How might they connect in a way which you did not expect? It's always fun to imagine what a crossover would look like!


Of course, iShowspeed's stunts are a smart way to increase engagement and keep viewers engaged. He definitely knows how to make it all fun and engaging. Like the Paul Embora brothers, he doesn't pretend to be a professional boxer. Comedy and interaction with different groups His looks definitely add to his attractiveness. Using humor and creativity to connect with your audience and keep things moving. Being lively is a good thing. The ending seems to be a perfect example of what makes it so entertaining.


You claim that iShowspeed's boxing stunts are more about talent than actual skill. It is true that without active training in combat sports Exhibition competitions would be impossible. Unless he is really committed to training and preparing. The idea of ​​such a competition creates a lot of excitement and can create enthusiasm. But it's important to remember that it's primarily for entertainment. If you are truly passionate about increasing your interest. Who knows what will happen? It's always interesting to see how these types of events evolve and lead to something more concrete.

Only dumb people who do really believe that he's good at boxing on which its obviously that he's really just that making those things for show nothingless.I dont know if this one would be pushed through
but well everything could really happen on which as long there would really be some possible arrangement for some exhibition then it could happen but having no fight experience?
This would really be that unlikely, not unless if the man we are talking is having at least some history about fighting type of sports then it could be possible but lets see on what would happen specially
if things getting hyped up then we do most likely be able to tell that its plausible.

I have seen that video and you could be able to see up that punching forms or even the stance is already that odd.
Also if we do speak about on the games he played then you could check on this one. https://twitchtracker.com/ishowspeed/games 

These YouTubers and online streamers do the craziest things for engagement. iShowspeed just pulled a page from the Paul brothers book. I saw clips of the “fight” on Instagram, it didn’t look real to me. iShowspeed is a funny guy, I love his content because we are both Ronaldo fans but he is clearly not a boxer. It’s nothing serious, just a marketing strategy to get people talking.  The difference between iShowspeed and Jake Paul is that he doesn’t pretend to be a real boxer. The end was funny like all his videos usually are entertaining.

Well obviously, iShowspeed also acted that he's really a good match for the legendary Manny but that's only for the show. In reality, he's not actually a fighter but a good entertainer. I mean, he's really good at his stuff trying to catch the interest of his viewers. So there's got no chance that his meet up with Manny will turn into a casino betting.

I agree ,this wont be added ever. You can see even in this video that Manny went 1% and could have destroyed him in first minute. So this was only for the stream to catch some views and that they have fun.

I always think that these are great shows to follow ,but very dangerous for those who want to place bets
From any point of view - sports / titles / prizes - they are practically not playing anything.
It is clear that there is always a strong risk of cheating in the match and so on...

It is entertaining, and imagine the number of people who would watch that exhibition fight when it happens, and it becomes real. It’s not because he has an athletic build, but I doubt he could be someone as veteran as Pacquiao.

I have watched it, and seeing them goof around like that is enjoyable.

There is a very big chance that there will be an exhibition match.
This will provide financial benefits to both, iShowspeed will get a lot of money and additional fans for its channel, and Pac man will get money to add to the existing coffers.
Luckily for PacMan who can still make money even though he is no longer an active boxer.
I am sure PacMan will win by a landslide, unless the organizers order him to lose because it turns out that his defeat provides more benefits than iShowspeed losing.

I think Jake Paul has started a whole new trend, with all these exhibition fights that he did against real boxers. The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight literally lit a flame under the streamer community, and it triggered renewed interest in high paying events like this. 

This is a money printer for streamers with a lot of followers, because they know lots of people will pay to watch them fight. It is also an opportunity for older boxers to make some extra money... after their professional boxing career ended.

I do not bet on exhibition fights, because I think the outcome are pre-determined to generate opportunities for a re-match. 

Well, I think this will be a big deal for sure as it will be entertaining just like what happens in the live stream of speed but when it comes to betting who wins for sure many people already know or majority already know who will win, in short it is a one sided fight, I mean manny will not easily give up the win even for a charity exhibition fight. But as we know other gamblers for sure there will be gamblers who will still bet on speed just for fun. Maybe speed having a match with other popular streamers, that will be a good match and a good event to bet in.
