Pacquiao has featured in the Fight Night boxing video game franchise as a playable character. The playable character Paquito, in the mobile game, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang was also inspired from Pacquiao. A skin was also made available for Paquito which changes the character’s appearance to that of the real life boxer. Filipino game developer Ranida Games announced in 2021 that a mobile game revolving around Pacquiao’s boxing career Fighting Pride: The Manny Pacquiao Saga is in the works.

Back in the day, Mike Tyson was the only celebrity known for having a face tattoo. But times have changed, and in 2018 it’s slowly becoming a standard place to get inked (and not all of them are as in your face as the boxer’s famous design). The most recent celebrity to join the face tattoo crew is Halsey, who’s added a small Queen of diamonds symbol just in front of her left ear. Other celebs who have gone bold with little and large face tattoos include Justin Bieber (who is never afraid of ink), Kat Von D (who has us starry-eyed), and Kehlani (who opted for dainty dots). Rapper Post Malone also has fearless face tattoos that are, well, pretty relatable . . . that swirling “stay away” above his eyebrow definitely makes the message clear.

Yes, tattoos are allowed in boxing. Many boxers have tattoos, and there are no regulations within professional boxing that prohibit tattoos. Tattoos are considered a personal choice and a form of expression, and they do not interfere with the rules of the sport.

“I don’t see a court forcing someone to remove it, or wear a burqa, but they may not allow me to profit from that work that I had tattooed on my body,” he said, adding that it would be very unlikely that this action could delay “The Hangover Part II” from being released.

The legal action renewed claims of cultural appropriation but also saw some Māori tā moko artists defend Whitmill. Legal scholars have highlighted how the case juxtaposes Māori and Anglo-American attitudes on ownership of images. Despite never making it to trial, the case has been widely discussed in the context of the copyrightability of tattoos, a matter which has never been fully resolved in the United States.

Zhang returned with more of the same in September 2023’s rematch, stopping Joyce again, this time in the third round. With the wins, Zhang vaulted his name to the top of the division with the likes of Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua, but it wouldn’t last long.

The tattoo has become part of pop culture when one of the characters in the hit movie The Hangover, Stu (played by actor Ed Helms), wakes up to find he has the same tattoo. This tattoo forms the crux of several jokes, especially when Tyson pops up in the film, and was also the center of a lawsuit.

The rubber match ended when Wilder suffered his second defeat at the hands of Fury, this time getting knocked out in round 11. Wilder came back to win once by knockout in 2022 before suffering his third career defeat to Joseph Parker in December of last year.

A film based on Pacquiao’s life, Pacquiao: The Movie, was released on June 21, 2006, featuring Filipino actor Jericho Rosales as Manny Pacquiao and was directed by Joel Lamangan. The film flopped at the box in bing.com office, grossing a total of only P4,812,191 (approximately US$99,322), as confirmed by Lamangan.

This case seems to change that, since this judge apparently said the copyright is valid, and I hope that it goes up to another level of judiciary that forms a different opinion, because I don’t see how you can separate the wearer from the art.

A few months after Zhang’s debut, Dynasty Boxing went bust. “We ran out of money,” says Terry. The Lanes exited the business. Duva pivoted Zhang to Roc Nation, with Duva joining as an executive. Roc Nation—like many new promoters—entered boxing with a bunch of money and no plan. Zhang continued to fight but often at low-profile shows. When he did get opportunities he stumbled. In 2015, Zhang, fighting on the undercard of Miguel Cotto’s middleweight title defense against Canelo Álvarez, faced Juan Goode. Zhang was knocked down in the fourth round, narrowly squeezing out a decision. “He looked like s—,” says Duva. “His training, his diet, his living habits, they were all bad.” The next year George returned and addressed it, laying out a structured schedule and enlisting nutritionists.

Meaning: On Mike’s left forearm, there is a tattoo of his ex-wife, Monica Turner, whom he married on April 19, 1997. However, the couple got legally separated on January 14, 2003. Monica had filed for divorce from Mike in January 2002, claiming that Mike had committed adultery during their five-year marriage.

In 2003, as TalkSport reminds us, Tyson stepped into the ring with his freshly inscribed ink and knocked out Clifford Etienne in 49 seconds. This would be Tyson’s last career victory, a mere week after getting his first tattoo. His trainer, Jeff Fenech, who’d been training Tyson for eight weeks leading up to the fight, called shenanigans. He said that Iron Mike was sabotaging the fight, essentially, because it “wasn’t healthy” to have a boxing match where Tyson’s face would get punched days after getting a tattoo on it. Fenech also thought Tyson got the tattoo because he didn’t want the fight in the first place. A week before the bout, Fenech walked, and Tyson went on to win in the first round. Two years later in 2005, Tyson retired after back-to-back losses.
