‘Make Sure You Get Paid Upfront’: Fans Go Wild as 43-Year-Old Manny Pacquiao Set to Fight ‘Modern Day Bruce Lee’ in His Boxing Return

Former 8-division champion Manny Pacquiao is set to make his comeback into the squared circle against DK Yoo. The bout will take place on December 10 in South Korea. The Pac man last fought Yordenis Ugas in his last bout back in 2021, but has since retired from professional boxing, and will now compete in exhibition bouts.

The exhibition bout was recently announced by The Triller fight club on Twitter. The fight will take place on December 10. Moreover, they also announced that the fight will also feature 18 other fights along with musical performances.

Moreover, the fans also went wild over this announcement as they reacted to the fight announcement.

Fans react to Manny Pacquiao announcing his next exhibition

One fan was curious as to why boxing pundits were not calling out Pacquiao for competing in an exhibition.

Another fan stated that Pacquiao was mimicking Floyd Mayweather and was curious whether if Triller was back with concerts in the middle of fights.

Another fan claimed that Pacquiao was copying everything that Floyd Mayweather did.

Following this, one fan even went as far as asking Pac-Man to get his purse up-front, referring to Logan Paul, who accused Mayweather of not paying him after his exhibition bout.

Moreover, one fan stated if the event would consist of 80 percent music like the previous Triller events.

However, one fan surprisingly supported Yoo despite being a Flilipino.

The fans certainly feel that this exhibition is nothing more than a cash grab for the 8-division champion. However, the funds will go to to war relief effort in Ukraine during a time of conflict.
