Manny Pacquiao's ring return against YouTube star flops as fans stay away

Manny Pacquiao made his return to the ring for an exhibition last night, but was unable to draw anything close to a sold-out crowd for his bout.

The legendary eight-division world champion faced popular YouTube star and supposed 'Martial Arts expert' DK Yoo at the Korea International Exhibition Centre in Goyang, South Korea. But during the broadcast, countless empty seats could be seen as the main event fighters were making their ring walks.

Ultimately, the exhibition was quite an entertaining affair, with Pacquiao dropping DK Yoo on multiple occasions as he pushed for the finish late in the fight. The YouTube star was somehow able to survive an onslaught at the end of the fifth to make it to the final bell, with no winner declared following six rounds of action.
