I don't know about this Rizin Fighting Federation. Is there any news on whom will Manny Pacquiao fight? When I see that the OP said "mixed martial arts" I think that Pacquiao could be at the disadvantage. Imagine, a boxer which uses only his knuckle to fight vs a martial arts with the combination of kick and punch?

boxer has more advantage unless there is a ground fight like in the UFC. he doesn't have to use his feet to kick he still can use his hands alone. i wonder why is it that a boxing champ wanna engage in such arena. i have never heard of Rizin Fighting Federation in my entire life. but this isn't surprising to Pacquiao, he goes beyond what he can do, he got into politics and became senator maybe he wanna be something more than what he is.

Rizin does fights once in a while and it became famous when Fedor came out of retirement and fought there in their inaugural show, there is no drug testing and anything goes and with the Mayweather theatrics we know anything will happen and i am sure Manny will fight in an exhibition bout with boxing rules and nothing else. Looks like they want exposure by signing big names and as long as they have money to shell out for these bouts they will continue putting fights for the Japanese fans. Grin

Yes, it looks like they still have deep pockets to get Floyd before and now it's Manny turn. It was reported though that Rizin suffered a slump specially when One FC came into the picture. That's why they really needed to resurrect so to speak the company and be competitive right now otherwise One FC will take over the Asian market. So this is a marketing strategy on their part, and I'm sure the money throw around this boxing legends are going to be worth for them in the long run.

Fighting Federation is asking Manny Pacquiao to fight Takanori Gomi also a mixed martial artist.

That will be an easy win for Takanori Gomi if the fight mixed martial arts rules. Remeber the fight Randy Couture vs James "Light out" Toney.
The fight ended in 3 min with a submition. Same will be with Manny. Or maybe he will survive for 1 round thanks to his speed.

I don't think so. You do realize that Gomi was on a 6 match losing streak in the past, don't you?

I feel that Manny will easily win this one just like Floyd did against him and earn big bucks and entertain the crowd for a short period of time.

But Floyd won easily, because there was a boxing match with a guy, that trained Karate or Taekwondo. I doubt that Floyd can survive 5-10 low kicks. Same with Manny vs Gomi. I dont care that he got 6 match losing streak, when he can out grapple or just destroy Manny's legs with his leg kicks.

I haven't heard about that news yet but we all know them aside from being a great boxer, Manny Pacquiao also loves trying new things especially sports. However, if I would put myself in his shoes, I wouldn't sign that contract if it's just about money. He's a senator and a boxing champion so I think he could focus more on that.

If they follow MMA rules then Manny is at a dis advantage. If I'm in Manny shoes, I wouldn't just accept any fight just for the sake of money.

He will be branded as just fighting for easy money and following Floyd's footstep. I agree that everyone trolls Floyd for accepting a exhibition fight before and a lot of name calling. Is Manny willing to sacrifice his legacy as well here?

The same thing will happen like Floyd vs Tenshin, this will end up in a minute exhibition lol, if Floyd ended the fight fast what more when it is Pacquiao but I hope he will take easy on it to make the audience enjoy the fight and the money they paid for at least haha. But for real Manny Pacquiao will be in trouble if they allowed kicking tho obviously its a boxing match.

Pacquiao is just wise to accept that easy money Cheesy

I don't know it either but OP already told on who or what Rizin federation is.

Quote from: lemipawa on April 12, 2019, 01:21:08 AM

its the same Japanese mixed martial art group that signed Floyd Mayweather in a exhibition match with Tenshin Nasukawa that ended up in just 1 round

If you have been following Floyd Mayweather and the discussion about the rematch versus Manny Pacquiao, you are aware of that fight that took so quick and made Floyd earned a lot of money.

Any good analyst here on what will be the odds and possible outcome between Gomi & Manny?

As the latest news from Mayweather,he is willing to be a promoter of Manny Pacquiaos fight so maybe this is the fruit of that news as he (Mayweather)had already retired in fighting while Manny is still willing to fight again until 2020 according to the interview last year after his last bout

My bad for not seeing it. But still Pacquiao is still at the disadvantage it's like taking a spider out from its web. Pacquiao know boxing and Takanori Gomi knows martial arts and they will fight what fighting stance and skills they know.

It is still early what Rizin wanted to sign up Manny. I'm not saying that it will be another exhibition match just like Floyd did, but probably will be like promoting Rizin in the rest of the Asia and the world.

Many hated Floyd for doing this kind of exhibitions in Japan for easy money. So what will be the argument in Manny pursue the same route as Floyd?

Reading and analyzing, seems that the promoting company wants manny to carry the business, knowing how well they produced regarding to Mayweather's fight they've got lots of money to flow, now it's Manny's turned and convinced the Japanese audience who adoring the Pacman to buy tickets and watch him inside their rings.

Does Rizin Fighting Federation sounds familiar to you? Yes its the same Japanese mixed martial art group that signed Floyd Mayweather in a exhibition match with Tenshin Nasukawa that ended up in just 1 round but the contract that Manny Pacquiao signed is unique or shrouded in mystery as there is no stipulation that he will fight anyone, but Fighting Federation is asking Manny Pacquiao to fight Takanori Gomi also a mixed martial artist.
