Many "Pac-Man" Pacquiao Vs Floyd "Money" Mayweather 2 is set to take place in Japan later in 2024
Both gave a mega-fight when they fought first time in 2015.
Pacquiao is now 45 and Mayweather is 46. Quite obviously, it'll be an exhibition fight.
What are your thoughts on that fight? Are you excited about it or should they stay away from boxing after officially retiring?

Hey mate, I put a thread here that discusses all about boxing,
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=314860.0
So that we can just have one thread for everything to discuss including this one, :D
-
I'm sure both guys love to do it again even in an exhibition, they are not going to hurt each other seriously they will fulfill the fan's curiosity if they are still good even in retirement but most of all, they are going to make money.
Even if they deny especially Mayweather they still need more money coming in because of both fighters' lifestyles but between the two Pacquiao is more discreet, I love to see both in the ring doing it for their love of boxing even in their retirement.
I'm sure this will be fun but of course, challenging for both fighters as they need to impress the boxing community.
-
Well this is something that we should all be excited about, they are somewhat boring for me, but to be honest the exhibition fights and to be honest I was left with a huge bitter taste in my mouth because things did not turn out as they were, that's why I always want to emphasize That's how things are when the exhibitions are, I don't like them, besides they are fights that are already square, there are no strong emotions, there is no emotion that makes one say wow this is real, here they are fighting for honor, the rematch, because seeing Mayweather running in the ring and then saying that he won, that's something that I didn't like at all.
In this order of ideas, it is something that does not give me much emotion, and that is why things when it comes to how it can increase emotions does not give me anything, of course there are people who do, but I have that way of thinking. It's a shame that the real rematch never happened, all because of Mayweather themselves, which I didn't like.

They will be fighting for real, even if it's just an exhibition fight. They might even get more ferocious than in the first fight as they got something to prove, especially Many, who lost the first fight.
Even if they deny especially Mayweather they still need more money coming in because of both fighters' lifestyles
Money is surely a major factor here, but it's not like any of them is broke and desperate for cash. It's more likely they are missing that thrill of preparations, the fight itself etc. Most high-achieving men can't stand being idle and doing nothing.

They would love to do it again because of the money. But who knows how much money will be involved to call out Mayweather from his Gucci lifestyle to the boxing ring after his retirement? According to Mayweather he keeps saying that he has made a lot money that he generation would never go poor in life.
Let's see how it would turn out to be. Whether Mayweather will accept to fight Pacquiao for the money or would he say, he is good living his Gucci life that needs no more stress to have additional wealth to his name.

Mayweather loves to brag about the money he made. Even though he often exaggerates, he surely has made a fortune. But that being said, I don't think he's the kind of person who would enjoy doing nothing other than just spending money. That gets boring pretty quickly.
Apparently it didn't take much to pull him out of his "retirement" as he had quite a few fights since then - mostly exhibitions + the McGregor fight.

the two have been doing exhibition fights every now and then. Floyd gets the best fights though and i guess he makes more money fighting Conor and that Gambino guy than Pacquiao fighting youtubers. Pacquiao has upcoming fight against Buakaw the kickboxing champ too.
it would be exciting if its not an exhibition actually. it doesn't matter if they are already old as long as we see a real bout and not an exhibition. it kills the idea that we could see real skills in boxing but when we are already aware its an exhibition fight, it feels like WWE.

I wasn't even aware that Pacquiao did exhibition fights post-retirement. I knew he had some political career so thought he was entirely focussed on that. As per his Wikipedia page, he only had one such fight though, against DK Yoo. I've just checked the highlights on youtube and he looked OKish, pretty much as expected.
The one against Buakaw should be more challenging.

I don't think that matters that much really. It could matter more for Mayweather if he had his undefeated 50-0 record at risk, but I'm sure he will take the fight seriously anyway. They both are highly competitive and have reputations on the line.
-
Well, to be honest, I had a very bad taste in my mouth when I saw that fight, because I was someone who was going for Pacquiao, and I actually thought that he was winning, because to be honest at that time I was not at the height of my sports. and among those was boxing, and when I saw how Mayweather beat him, I had no doubt , but I'm not going to deny that I knew that his strategy was merely technical, very valid in boxing and for very intelligent boxers, but I think that That fight wasn't for that, it was to show who was the strongest, so I didn't like it on his part, I've never been in favor of that fight, but it doesn't matter.
Now with the exhibition fight, it doesn't catch my attention because it's a fight that Isn't a fight for me , it's not real, and what I didn't like after that fight was that Mayweather himself said that he wasn't going to give revenge and Pacquiao more aware of Politics that may not have led to Anything.

you mean their first fight?
its true for a boxing fan, you're going to appreciate how Floyd circled Pacquiao in a sense that he won without fighting. basically all that happen was chasing but Floyd also display how accurate he can punch while at the same time avoiding a hit and then escape a situation. a boxing fan could see his footwork and how good his defense. that's everything there is to that fight and Manny lost.
this one might still be the same unless Floyd is already that of a wimp that he can't run around a 24x24 ring.
-

It's not like the fight isn't real, it's just there's nothing at stake other than personal ambitions and egos. For some that's not enough as they might be thinking two of them will show up only to prance around and collect their cheques. But I don't think that will be the case in this fight, I can't imagine any of them will take a loss lightly.
-
Oh come on, this can't be real. You know whats the worst part of it all? This will be watched like crazy as well, but these dudes are at least 10 years ahead of their prime already, they are way too old. I said even on their 2015 fight that it would have been awesome to see them like 5 years ago, and that 2015, now its 2024 and they are doing a "rematch"? Exhibition or not, this is just getting out of hand, we are seeing more and more "money making" fights and a lot less real fights. In any case, there will be a lot of viewers, a lot of betting, and it will definitely be a boring fight all around. I guarantee you, people will dislike the fight for sure.
-
Exactly things are not real and that takes a lot away from the spectacle and that can be Reflected in the things that can be manifested such as the emotion that can be influenced and destroyed in a fight, in fact it must already be Decided who the eluqe must win, and Due to Mayweather's great ego , it is very likely that the winner will be Mayweather. I actually don't see this as with so much emotion, emotion, and when it is real, and well, we already know that it won't be real, all because Pacquiao in that moment he lost the spirit of boxing because of politics, and not at all, because neither one thing nor the other, and well, for me, boxers who fight at a merely technical level, even if it is valid, don't interest me in fights like that, I don't see any emotion in them. or anything.
So exhibition fights don't attract my attention much and it's something that Doesn't motivate me to watch them at all. It motivates me to see the fights like theirs, but when it Comes to real revenge.
-
this one might still be the same unless Floyd is already that of a wimp that he can't run around a 24x24 ring.
Yeah, i agree that the result would still be the same as the first fight if this one pushes through but i doubt that because even if this is only an exhibition match, Mayweather is still thinking about that "0" defeat. Maybe Mayweather loss some steps as he is now older but Pacman too is getting older and he is not the same as he was below 40.
I'm not a fan of exhibition match as they only do this for the money, they should have done this right after the first fight while they are still in their prime.
-
What are your thoughts on that fight?
Pacman has something to prove here given the fact that there are controversies circling around regarding the previous fights so Mayweather should take this into consideration that Manny might want a knockdown score on this match but yeah we all know that Mayweather is a clinch king so let's just wait and see.
Are you excited about it or should they stay away from boxing after officially retiring?
Well, money is money and for them retire does not mean they will totally stop boxing. Exhibition fights are fun and of course good source of cash. 😁

That's partially because currently we only have a very few high-calibre boxers. They might be well past their prime but still are more famous than 99.9% of active boxers. And where there's interest, there's money to be made.

The only controversy was around Mayweather being administered IV fluids before the fight, but the fight itself was a clear display of dominance by Floyd. Pacquiao sure has something to prove but I don't think he'll be able to. Mayweather has been more active in recent years and looks less affected by the passing time.

Yep. The boxing world is sluggish because none of the fights can be sold at high prices.
And this duel still arouses curiosity among the public so that it can be sold at a high price.
Fact. This fight means nothing, and we don't need this fight. It's like WWE boxing.
But as long as suckers line up to purchase tickets and merch, boxing as a circus sideshow will continue howling with laughter to the bank.

I do agree that Floyd Mayweather had the upper hand against Pacman if this one pushes through but i do think that it would not be easy as Floyd clearly loses speed and though inactive, Pacman will try to compensate that through hard training.
But i don't think that Floyd will fight Pacman for the second time, he will try to protect that zero defeat on his record.
-

The fight was officially announced (although no exact details are yet known) so we can assume it will happen this year.
Mayweather loves his zero-losses record but he also loves money and will be the favourite, so can imagine him taking the risk.
That being said, the fight is likely to be classed as an "exhibition" so won't be counted towards their official records, so nothing at stake other than reputation (and maybe some winning bonus).

TBH, i'm not aware that this is officially announced but if indeed they are serious about this one then good. How they will split the money will be once again an issue as Money won't take equal money with Manny, just like in the first fight.
Though this is only an exhibition match, reputation matters for Floyd and he don't want to be on the losing side.
-

The announcement was made but until the date/venue/details are confirmed - nothing is certain.

Why would he? Costs of living are way higher in the US than in the Philippines ;D
But they're not necessarily aware of how much will the other guy make, so it's down to who has a better negotiator.
Though this is only an exhibition match, reputation matters for Floyd and he don't want to be on the losing side.
Yup, I'm sure it will matter to both of them. I can't imagine any of them would show up unprepared just to collect the cheque. They're just too competitive for that.

It is an exhibition match and I don't think any of them that lost to the other would take the fight loss or win to heart as they did before.
The fight is for the money and nothing in between because both fighters retired from the boxing ring a long time ago. However, calling them back for a fight this year after their retirement, will not be as physical as the last time they fought each other long ago.
-
Really! The first thing that came to mind was that first confrontation that we all wanted to see, wtf, someone may say that it was a good fight, but boxing honestly has become more and more a "miserable affair" of pay-per-view.
oh, yes, it has always been like this, but the level has dropped so much that today two guys who should be in permanent retirement are being promoted for a second confrontation.
The only interesting thing about this version 2 will be knowing how much they pocket this time.
-

I know it'll be an exhibition fight and the win/loss will not go into their official records. And yes, money is the primary motivator for both of them, but I still think none of them will be happy to accept a defeat.
People in general don't like losing. Even during sparring sessions fighters want to come on the top. And now take those two - both of them have highly competitive personalities, I can't imagine either of them showing up unprepared, giving up the fight just to collect the cheque. Their reputation and legacy are on the line.

Yeah, this will be an exhibition fight if pushes through and they are at it because of the money involved though not as huge as their first encounter but I think enough to satisfy them. I recently saw a video of Pacman training in the Wild Card gym in the Philippines, looks like he is serious on his exhibition fight this coming April.
-
Currently at the height of Floyd Mayweather's level of pride and arrogance, from what I can see based on what he always says that it is okay to be second to him, or Pacquiao is always next in the ranking in boxing.
Maybe for now he will still say the same thing, but the time will come when there is no one to fight him and his wealth is running out. I am pretty sure in the end he will approach Pacquiao himself just so they can have another fight in the ring of boxing.
-

Mayweather is the highest-paid boxer in the history of the sport. I don't think he'll ever be at risk of running out of money, unless he has zero money-managing skills and no advisers to help him with it.
And he has a big name and can sell fights, so there will be no shortage of people wanting to challenge him, be it other retired fighters, active fighters, or you-tubers.

I wasn't even aware of that, but apparently the Philippines tried to get Many to fight in the Paris Olympics.
Unfortunately, it won't happen due to a little-known rule saying that the max age for the boxers is 40. Pacquiao is now 45.
They tried to get the IOC to make an exemption but it didn't work.
I don't quite understand what's the point of having a maximum age limit. I'm guessing it's probably due to health concerns etc, but it should be down to each country to decide for themselves.

I think it's good that the IOC stand their grounds here and didn't bent any rule of law just to accommodate the legendary boxer. I like the intention of Manny here, although the Philippines has bag it's first gold medal already in the Olympics, and I think that's what Manny's goal is when he did apply for a exception and wanted to be an Olympian.
As for this fight, we will see, there's no official announcement yet and Floyd will have a fight this year and so is Manny. So this is still open maybe at the end of the year in Japan, which usually Floyd fight for bigger money or early next year when both of them are fresh.

Many Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, are too great fighters although they have officially retire from boxing, but they shouldn't stay away from boxing.
All boxing fans will be excited seeing them coming back to the ring once again. My thoughts about Floyd Mayweather and Many Pacquiao is that, I'm anticipating for their return.

Announcing retirement doesn't mean much nowadays. Most retired superstars would come come back to have few big money fights post their "retirement".
And two of them are not looking that bad after Mike Tyson agreed to return to the ring at the ripe age of 58 (this is how old he'll be in July 2024).
