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.

If was a funny match to watch. Nothing really serious like I thought when I first heard that  iShowspeed was going to have an exhibition fight with Manny. I thought the fight was going to happen in an arena where fans of both people and lovers of boxing would buy tickets just to come watch the match. I was way in over my head and took it more serious.

Only for me to see that the play fight took place in the living room of Manny. It was fun to watch and both entertaining as well.

iShowspeed is a big talker and spent the most of his time talking and throwing punches while Manny was just quiet and trying not to get hurt by the inexperienced boxer. I saw Manny control his punches so as not go get into the zone.  iShowspeed was knocked out, the match ends the viewers get the value for their time.

He said it’s only 70%. Haha… even if he’s serious, there’s still nothing like Pacman’s power, even if he's retired. It’s probably just hype. But if fans bite on it, why not? It’s easy money for both sides. The downside is, we’ll likely see it as scripted. Do you guys want that?

It makes sense, I even thought that iShowspeed just acted to be knocked out or it's real? haha

There is also a reaction video by Manny Pacquiao and his team about talking being serious saying that iShowSpeed is giving his full force punching Manny Pacquiao that time, they don't know iShowSpeed, they don't know the humor of iShowSpeed on the live stream, because I heard in the video that they are telling iShowSpeed is serious that time.
I can't find that video anymore.

I think he was really worn out from the Philippines because he didn’t expect such a warm reception from Filipino fans. iShowspeed is hilarious -his content feels so real, and people were just messing with him. There was this video where he was eating siopao, and someone started singing “meow meow meow,” which made him think there was a cat around. It was just a joke that they were messing with him, saying the siopao filling was cat meat. Haha, classic prank.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, it doesn’t seem like iShowspeed ever claimed he was into boxing exhibitions. We might have gotten a bit carried away with the hype. It looks like his main thing is still funny content and streaming rather than boxing.

There's a chance, Speed has participated many charity and collaborations with other people.

However I'd say higher possibility Speed vs Paul, KSI, Kai Cenat etc rather than Manny Pacquaio if Speed to participate in exhibition fight.

Anyway it's really funny to watch his live stream, it's full of zombies and people are making fun of him. Yesterday I was waiting to watch his live stream, but he seems take a break for Sunday, so I guess he will stream again today in Vietnam.

while there is the possibility of making a lot of money if they decide to do an exhibition match, I doubt it'll happen(that being said, I could be totally wrong).

looking at the video you shared it is clear that it was just for fun. also, I had a laugh when Manny did a counter punch which landed on iShowspeed's stomach, I could tell his muscles tensed up when that punch landed even if it was not that hard.

Exactly. You can't expect a good and real fight from iShowspeed since he is not a boxer in profession but a content creator and a YouTuber. And even if he gives Manny a good fight, his fighting spirit won't be enough for a world champion boxer like Manny. But still, if he aims for a big audience and more viewers of his video, this exhibition fight with Manny will certainly become a big hit, not to mention Manny is also a funny and bubbly person in real life.

IIRC, he fell twice and he did felt that for real. 

To be honest, I sometimes enjoy watching contents like his but I wouldn't recommend it to my kid. It's true that there are more educative and informative contents on YT and I'm glad that my TV does recommend videos for kids and there's also YT kids.

Some people may consider it as crazy stuff and that's what makes it as exotic too and I don't think I even gonna watch these shows cause as I said it's rigged so if I watch then I feel like I let some to make fool of me. But it's my opinion and others may disagree with this statement.

And YouTube is actually filled with more kids and nowadays these kind of contents suggested to the audience than something that's educative so after all everything is just after money and fame.

'Exotic' content huh? I think that sounds funny . Is it because of their appearance? Just kidding, but this kind of stunts are not new for us to say that it was exotic. Fine if you don't want to risk your money on this one. If you are in for entertainment, you still can have it by simply watching the show.

I haven't tried betting on these types of matches yet but the first thing that should come to our mind is that the winner will be the guest or the ones that are not a real fighter, however that will be obvious and an easy win for the bettor if that is how things works, so there might still be a twist there and sometimes it was also the real fighter are the ones that can win the match. On your last sentence, if we bet for entertainment it shouldn't really matter if the bet is from serious matches or not.

For fun, yeah obviously because one is not a true boxer. As for the money, I think this is just an extra and not their priority because both are already earning well on their separate fields. There are still people who will not fully enjoy watching them fighting together but the ones that can give them full entertainment is if when both individuals are the same boxer because both will give their 100% best.

It will be a total funny show and can't expect to see a good fight with this possible match up since we know Speed is just a comedian while Pacquiao is a legendary fighter.

But I doubt there would be a exhibition fight will happen and I don't think Speed would allow that to happen since for sure he don't want to receive a solid punch came from Pacquiao. But no question I enjoy seeing him visiting the house of legend and have little match happened. For sure this experience will be treasure by Speed since its so rare for internet personality to get invited to the house of Pacquiao.

Last time I saw him he's busy creating commotion on Vietnam and we can see how wild people approach him and for sure he provably would enjoy more his Asian tour rather than thinking about having a exhibition fight with Pacquiao.

iSHOWSPEED is not a boxer and i don't think that exhibition fight between and Manny would happen. That was just for fun and visibly iSHOWSPEED can't take Manny's punches so it is a very risky thing for him even if it is just an exhibition fight.

I don’t know who this Speed guy is but he does not appear to be an athlete, much less a boxer. He met with Pacquiao while he was visiting the Philippines. They seem to have had a fun time and they should leave it at that.

There has been an over saturation of exhibition fights featuring wannabe boxers. The gimmick is already played out and uninteresting. Pacquiao looked very bad in his last exhibition. I would prefer if he stopped doing those kinds of fights and focus on something else instead. With his status I am sure he can still make a lot of money in whatever he dedicates himself to.

That exhibition fight is just for fun and money. When a real boxer and the entertainer meet, they will give fun thing to the audience. People will not act seriously with the match and they can have entertain different than what they see. And we know that the money will come to that exhibition and the floor will becomes wet with the fun. If that is real, Manny will punch his face until Ishowspeed can not stand up and need to take a bed rest hahaha

As you have already said, as a YouTuber has to perform the craziest actions to get more viewers. It really happened to famous YouTubers today.

But the exhibition match between iShowspeed vs Manny Pacquiao is a match that is indeed held only for entertainment.
There are not many advantages, but it has a strong effect on a promotion and establishing relationships with other partners.

Bookies who sponsor exhibition matches with famous personalities will give better promotional profits, not that it is unprofitable, but this is a good step to get more exposure not only money gains but more than that. Good promotion will give you extraordinary profits later.

This is some exotic content to feed the viewers urge especially the audience of ishowspeed who do every kind of crazy stuff. I am not gonna bet on these things cause it's purely orchestrated of what the outcome is gonna be so better not to regret yourself for wasting your money on something that's purely made for entertainment purposes. Just enjoy it and keep your money for serious business, yes we bet for entertainment but bet on the serious matches than some internet publicity.

There was a time I saw iShowspeed in the wrestling ring. I think he was beaten real bad that he had to be stretched out of the ring(of that was real at all). Another time he was jumping over a speeding Lamborghini. All of these are just for views and to grow his social media channel. And as a YouTuber you have to do the craziest stuff to increase your audience and viewership just like what Mr Beast does. If there's going to be an exhibition match no bookies will waste their time putting it on because they know it's not going to amount to anything.

I have been following this Youtuber for a long time, and I know that anything Ishowspeed does is usually for the views, just like Kia cenat. I will not take them seriously and If there is an official exhibition fight between them, where bookmakers put odds for the fight, I will never bet on the fight or on them if I bet on the fight because I know how unserious they can be, and also know that their actual benefit comes from the number of people watching or the number of people that watched.

Even then i am surprised that it got 273,000 views on only 2 days. There was nothing special in the video that was of about 2 mins long and it appeared they were just having some fun. The title seems a bit mis-leading, that is Full fight or was this the full fight 
Anyhow it was Manny Pacquiao who knocked out iShowspeed with a single brutal punch and it was no surprise as iShowspeed is a famous streeamer he could not handle the experienced Pacquiao. You can find the iShowspeed YouTube channel that has around 30M subscribers.

https://www.youtube.com/c/IShowSpeed

It is definitely not a surprise because he is not a boxer. And besides, he just gives fun to the people around him, not just for money alone or for fame. But his experience against the legendary boxer Manny was a great memory for him to remember, even though he lost. In fact, only a few known personalities were given the chance, and I see this as a great opportunity for him. 

At the end of their funny fight, they talk about other stuff. That is a pretty impressive approach that iShowspeed made to get close to Manny. 

He says only 70%, but I see it is already 105%, lol.

Yeah, it's becoming a thing now but only those who follow those Youtubers are the most watchers of it. That's why they love pairing against popular boxers so they can drag more audience.

IShowSpeed. I only knew this name because of my kids and I actually prohibited them from watching this Youtuber again. Why? Too many foul words coming out of that guy and my kids are already copying him. I might understand it if my kids are Americans, but they are not. Those foul words are earsore here in our country.
Anyway, about a real boxing match, I don't think Speed could take Manny, just his jabs will definitely hurt him badly and it will be dangerous to his body. He might as well just sing with him and gain a good audience.

First of all, I have a question. Why is there such a big demand on gaming streams? Almost every famous and successful youtuber started from streaming video games. Why do people watch how others play video games? Isn't it better to download Assassin's Creed and play on your computer, yourself? The only way I can get fun from watching someone playing is if they play slots with real money. I get fun from it because I can't risk myself playing with thousands of euros but in case of gaming, it's not expensive to buy Playstation and get PS Plus or Nvidia Cloud and Microsoft game pass.

Let's return to the topic. I think that an exhibition fight can actually happen between the two. At the moment, boxing and MMA is very trendy and it's even trendier if a famous young youtuber plays against a famous, old, retired opponent. He will do it, why not? He is there for the money too.

Nah doubt this fight will happen since Ishowpeed is not a boxer. He's a frustrated football player, he love for Ronaldo is really amazing so I don't think he will go that far and ask Pacquaio to have a exhibition match.

Yeah they play spar on Pacquiao's house when he visit the legend on the Philippines but no force involve and two gentlemen is like tickling each other.

Also its predictable to much on which of them will win on this possible match. For now Speed is in focus with his tour and provably he's not thinking about getting a fight with well known legend.

Just wanna share this since I remember this clip from youtube where Randy Orton take down speed  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za4pLoqlpxE which is a funny scene to watch.

Lol, that was so funny, especially in the end where speed was throwing punches with his arm all outwards.
I guess that's why people like to watch him since he deliberately does weird things which make people laugh.
It would be nice to see the full fight with speed giving his 100% meaning 100% of his weird things 

It's all for content.

I've quickly checked the YT channel of IShowSpeed and he's already in Vietnam. He's got a lot of views with his Manny Pacquiao livestream video and surely he enjoyed his stay there.

And what the generosity of Manny Pacquiao despite his busy schedule, he's able to put him on his list to entertain him while he's stayed on his crib. So, it's all for the show and the content and this is not going to happen anytime soon.

Maybe if it's the Paul Brothers visiting him then we might expect some exhibition match.

Nahhh I just open the YouTube I thought it's real fight since I know Manny Pacquiao he is actor and he really know about Martial art.

If there is real fight iShowspeed vs. Manny Pacquiao fight? I just surely bet for the Manny he gonna win easily despite his age but the show is fun tho hahah

If he lost I think that's his remaining 30% power hasn't given up for this fight, we'll see for another upcoming fights soon if he'd show us who's the toughest among them. The viral visit of iShowspeed couldn't help but just to gain popularity, but we wanted here the reality of everything and not just for the show.

I think his remark is just a sarcasm. Everyone knew that ishowspeed is a comedian that do a lot of staff.

I'm not aware that he is on our country recently. I'm just surprised that my wall was flooded by post related to him including the spareing session with Manny Pacquiao which is so funny. I don't follow this influencer but he do a good job on visiting Philippines since we are a hardcore follower of any popular influencer.

I doubt this exhibition match will be possible because we all know that this will be just a comedy. Maybe more of a sparring session will be possible.

There’s no real fight happening here. OP was just showing a playful match they made, and because it gained so many views, maybe he is thinking an exhibition fight could happen. I think it’s unlikely, though, since iShowspeed doesn’t have any boxing experience, unlike Jake Paul, who’s dedicated himself to the sport, which is why he’s found success.

This isn't gonna be a real fight that will be added to casino for betting. To me, iShowspeed is an entertainer and has gain lot of fan because of his page and this said fight could just be as a medium to entertain his fans and viewers and not really a real fight. iShowspeed doesn't have a boxing techniques to be able to win in such fight.

Its unexpected that just my friends tell me that Speed visit here in the Philippines and we know how he travel all around the world and keep doing live stream, and he also came with Manny just having a good time just a casual thing and of course we know Speed just bring entertainment and even Manny just give that so they just grab the opportunity to have a brief knowledge with Manny and also I saw them playing a chess but with the exhibition fight I guess far from reality that Manny will accept this of course as respect too to Speed.

Its hard to imagine a serious match, the entertainment value alone would draw a huge crowd. Plus, exhibition fights are more about the spectacle than the competition, right? It could definitely happen if the stars align, especially with the kind of buzz Speed has been generating lately. I mean, can you imagine the memes that would come out of it? 😂

If that happens, the odds would probably be 1.05 for Pacquiao to win hahaha, or even less
There have been a few fights like that in my country too, and even retired boxers against influencers or very strong people, but they didn't stand a chance
They start to fight, they put on a bit of a show, but when this “non-boxer” tries to hit harder, the boxer knows how to hit, and it only takes a few seconds to win the fight, after all it's years of experience

Sometimes they put on this display to raise money for an institution, but it's definitely not a fight to bet on

Here in my city, there are also many influencer fights like this, and honestly I don't think their fights are worth betting on, just imagine for a basic technique in boxing they can't do it properly let alone fight with full skill and ability, for showspeed, he is walking around Southeast Asia for the sake of content therefore, the fight that happened between Manny and Speed ​​is not worth betting on haha.

You can see from it that he really, really does not want an exhibition fight with him 

normally this is just one of his extreme way of catching fun and continue gaining relevance as a YouTuber. Same way he went against randy ortom and got knocked out. Dude is just living the best of his life with the big players and it's still paying him off.

If you give him the chance, he will risk getting into an exhibition fight even if his ass is going to end up being kicked out but I doubt there is any thing like that potentially coming out. It's all for the fun and the setting the hard the show bizz explains it all.

LOL, Ishowspeed is enjoying his visit in our country. He's being warmly welcomed and I don't think any exhibition fight will happen like this.
Him asking Pacquiao to punch him is one of the funny livestreams that he's got. That Pacquiao punch test was like a norm from these content creators and ISS got the taste of it. 

Before clicking the link, I thought they did a real fight for raising funds for a NPO or something, now after watching this, I realized it's the same video that's being shared by 1000s of Twitter Accounts for impressions. Yes, they did a fight but It's not a fight? I mean they were just having some fun. Manny Pacquiao is great at what he does, so I am sure there's 0% chance of Speed to win this against him. I would love to see an official fight though as you mentioned.

Pretty sure this was just for fun lol, and it shows.  I mean look at where they fought in the first place, and look at iShowspeeds face, 100% just him having fun and doing it cause of Manny being famous and him, well, visiting him. I mean, if I was that buffed I would want to somehow have fun with Manny ya know? He's just that much of a legend in the boxing scene after all.

Now as for an exhibition match, highly doubt an official one would ever happen. iShowspeed just doesn't feel like he'd ever do so really, I reckon he'd much rather have fun visiting other countries and touring. And I don't think he has a background in boxing even? Like I reckon an exhibition match would only happen if the other party has at least some background with it.

I don’t think this fight will ever happen. iShowSpeed isn’t into boxing—he’s more of a comedian who loves to stream. Sure, he visited Pacquiao’s house because Pacman is a huge name, and he’s already here in the Philippines, but if you look at the video, it’s obvious he has no boxing skills. A match with Pacquiao would just be comedy- it wouldn’t even be a contest.

If iShowSpeed wants a real match, he could try someone like Salt Papi, though that might be one-sided too.

For the money and entertainment, sure, it’s possible. But it would hurt Pacman’s legacy, so it’s a big no.

Is it becoming mainstream when YouTubers and old boxers stage exhibition fights shows for the sake of hype and subsequent monetization?

There have been no official statements that the exhibition fight between iShowspeed vs. Manny Pacquiao will take place, which means it is too early to expect it. Although, I certainly will not expect this pseudo-fight.

If there is a financial interest, then such a possibility of organizing a fight should not be discounted. Sports and show business are now closely intertwined.

Speed ​​can't fight with good boxing basics, we can see him often making silliness that even when he plays football, just for entertainment and jokes.
I don't know why there are more exhibition fights now, maybe because of money or maybe for popularity like a gimmick that makes one party get an advantage, but this will attract many people.
In the visit that Speed ​​did, it also showed that he was sparring with Manny Pacquiao and sure enough in one punch made Speed ​​groan in pain, Manny Pacquiao strength is still quite tough and if there is an exhibition fight between the two then I sure if Manny Pacquiao is serious in fighting, Speed ​​might be seriously injured.
It just that I doubt whether Manny Pacquiao will accept much more planned exhibition fight in the future.

If the money is right then why not? Yes, he could have a massive following, but who is going to sponsor the fight and willing to shell out big money for a exhibition. Someone should step up, I don't think that Manny is willing to be that man, he will fight definitely but for a good pay day against this influencer.

And I doubt that he will have a chance against Manny, even today, they  can fight and Manny can still win it easy. But it good to see that he visited Manny in the Philippines and for sure it skyrocketed his followers again with this collab with the ring legend.

I also see both of them played chess. iShowspeed's is known for his fun activities while travelling to other countries and use it to have many fans. There is nothing more than that. This kind of fight can not be on betting site.

Who lost? iShowspeed is not a boxer. He can not win a fight with such a person. It is not a surprise.

iShowspeed's visit to the Philippines has gone viral, especially after meeting with the country’s boxing legend, Manny Pacquiao. With iShowspeed being a famous YouTuber and streamer who has a massive following, it makes you wonder- could an exhibition fight between the two actually happen? Since these types of matches are often about the money, it’s not entirely impossible. Pacquiao is no stranger to exhibition bouts, and with iSHOWSPEED's huge fanbase, it would definitely catch a lot of attention. If this happens, it would break the internet for sure!

Watch this full fight highlights.

iSHOWSPEED vs. MANNY PACQUIAO | FULL FIGHT

Don’t be surprised that he lost -he was only giving it 70%!
