Well, that is the kind of question that only Manny Pacquiao and his camp can answer but I believe there is a reason why Pacquiao chose DK Yoo as his first fight from retirement, maybe because he is just taking his time to get used to the ring again and DK Yoo is the right foe because the latter doesn't have enough stamina and experience to keep up with professional boxers.
Why not Jake Paul? Maybe because of their difference in terms of weight even if there are no such rules in exhibition fights. Jake Paul is a natural heavyweight fighter while Pacquiao is a welterweight fighter or lower. Just a wild guess tho

We can surely guess all we want, but I think we just need to wait for further explanation on both fighters for me if I would give my speculation on why Manny Pacquiao accepted this fight was because of the money, we all know that Manny Pacquiao already has tons of money, but he has run for the presidency last time so for that campaign he would surely need a lot of money for the campaign paraphernalia, and we all know how generous Manny Pacquiao in giving money to the poor, surely he wants to get back what he lost on that campaigning period, well this is what I could think of, the reason on accepting that fight, I know it can be a little down for him to accept the fight for money purposes, but we all know that Manny Pacquaio has once came from a poor family and he is a from rug to riches kind of boxer,
Oh, yeah, I saw it on my feed that the Queen has passed away. So chances are the fight is going to be cancelled here. The whole nation will mourn for the time being so any sports should be cancelled indefinitely.
All eyes are into this fight, they have been calling out each other and the trash talking between this two ladies will rival anyone in the men's side. So let's just wait for the official announcement.
That is why I have to look up on Tapology that the fight was now on October 15, 2022, instead of September 09, it was really a bummer but at the same time pretty much understandable because of the passing of the queen it was really unexpected and shocking at the same time, but it will surely happen and pretty much all of us will go the same fate,
The two ladies are really getting at it on the bad talking but it is really understandable aswell because this is to hype the fight and surely I don't really think this is because of some bad blood between the two, but because of this the fight between Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennadiy Golovkin on September 17, up next,
