IShowSpeed knocked out by Manny Pacquiao in social media stunt gone wrong (Video)

Social media influencer IShowSpeed is on tour in the Philippines and recently booked an impromptu sparring match with boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. Things started off playfully enough, before “Speed” took a few extra liberties with his body shots.

“Pac Man” responded in kind and IShowSpeed was planked in short order.

Pacquiao, now 45, is an eight-division world champion with twelve world titles to his credit. Despite his age and deteriorating skill set, the former Senator is still participating in boxing exhibition bouts, brawling with former K-1 champion Rukiya Anpo at the Super RIZIN 3 event last July in Japan.

“He retired for a minute to run for President of the Philippines, where he took a respectful third place,” MP Promotions President Sean Gibbons told ESPN earlier this year. “And after that he felt that his retirement was due to running for president, and now that [he wasn’t elected], he wants to fight again and feels like he can do it at the highest level.

“Manny is an all-time great and he feels like he still has a lot of fight left in him and he still wants to compete at the highest level. And this fight [vs. Conor Benn] was presented to him by Eddie Hearn, and he agreed. Ball is in Eddie Hearn’s court. Pacquiao is ready to go.”
