A lot of people.would probably be watching this just to see Pacman go in the ring again though of coursw with less intensity. Most probably, the stadium would not be filled by hardcore fans of boxings but jusr of enthusiasts. Pacman still has the power punches and speed at his disposal, but DK Yoo is still a formidable opponent that also has a lot power packing in his every punch.

I think Manny is still good for a few years of exhibition matches that can still be exciting for the public to watch until it is exciting no more.

At least when it comes to Manny I think we are still going to see him when he is still a good boxer, the exhibition fights that we are watching these days include stars of other sports that are not good boxers, social media personalities and old boxers which had not gotten above the ring for a very long time, at least in the case of Manny we know he can box and he can do it at a high enough level to actually give a decent exhibition fight and it is one of the few I would be interested in watching.

Well I agree with you, right now seeing all the things that have been happening in boxing and since the World Cup in Qatar is very close it would not be bad if a good round of good boxing comes, I do want to see Pacquiao on display or however he is going to fight I have a very good opinion of the Filipino, for me he is one of the best in the world, because his mastery in technique is unique, I think he is one of the boxers who should never give up boxwear if they feel they can keep going, no matter how old you are, you know that as long as your body works well and your muscles are in shape, it's enough for me.

I wonder if this is an exhibition match, and therefore to a greater extent a contractual match, then how in this case you can bet on it, because this is manipulation and insider in its purest form and relying on Pacquiao's skill here is very reckless.

I think this is just a like charity event, since it was reported that the funds raised in this event probably from broadcast rights and ticket sales will be donated to the homeless in the Philippines as well as the to Ukrainians, I don't think any sportsbook will hold this bet.

Indeed! And I guess we can call this as an exhibition fight with a cause because Pacquiao swore that he will donate all the revenue to the chosen charity (except DK Yoo's TF) that will be generated on this fight including his PPV-buys income. Surely this will be a sold-out fight and lots of PPV buys because Pacquiao's presence in the ring is already missed by a lot of people around the word including his fans and it's a good sight to see him fighting again. I hope he will give an entertaining fight like giving DK Yoo a punch that he cannot forget Grin

Well yes, you are right about that, even though it is an exhibition fight it is something that fills me a lot, at least we will see Pacquiao again with his gloves and give us a good show, I honestly think that Pacquia is very much needed in the sport, I don't know, but he's one of those boxers who should never retire, like Tyson, he began to retire and well, the ravages of the years have given him some ailments that I'm sure if he hadn't quit boxing he wouldn't have them, when one stop doing what you like the most, this kind of thing can happen, so both for health and sport, you shouldn't give up this sport.

Not bad:

Manny Pacquiao uses wild hologram technology to face off vs DK Yoo ahead of exhibition

Quote

The cutting edge technology allowed Pacquiao to respond naturally to his opponent as they faced off, despite not being in the same room. DK Yoo, who boasts over 600,000 Youtube subscribers, was involved in the unusual virtual staredown with the 'PacMan' in Thursday's press conference in Los Angeles.

It was the first time the technology has ever been used to promote a combat sports event, and it appeared to have achieved its objective by drawing eyes towards the fight in an otherwise non-eventful press event.
