Does Rizin Fighting Federation sounds familiar to you? Yes its the same Japanese mixed martial art group that signed Floyd Mayweather in a exhibition match with Tenshin Nasukawa that ended up in just 1 round but the contract that Manny Pacquiao signed is unique or shrouded in mystery as there is no stipulation that he will fight anyone, but Fighting Federation is asking Manny Pacquiao to fight Takanori Gomi also a mixed martial artist.

Never heard of this Rizin Fighting Federation till now. Another promotional fight and I'm sure that sports fans would love to see Manny fight an MMA fighter.

I don't know about this Rizin Fighting Federation. Is there any news on whom will Manny Pacquiao fight? When I see that the OP said "mixed martial arts" I think that Pacquiao could be at the disadvantage. Imagine, a boxer which uses only his knuckle to fight vs a martial arts with the combination of kick and punch?

As I posted, Rizin Fighting Federation is pushing Manny Pacquiao to fight Takanori Gomi
Takanori Gomi otherwise known as  "The Fireball Kid" have a record of 36 Wins and 15 Losses.
14 of his wins are via KO/TKO
6 through Submissions
16 over Decisions
He last won a fight July 28, 2018
He also have a losing streak of 6 fights from September 20, 2014 to December 31, 2017.

Reading and analyzing, seems that the promoting company wants manny to carry the business, knowing how well they produced regarding to Mayweather's fight they've got lots of money to flow, now it's Manny's turned and convinced the Japanese audience who adoring the Pacman to buy tickets and watch him inside their rings.

It is still early what Rizin wanted to sign up Manny. I'm not saying that it will be another exhibition match just like Floyd did, but probably will be like promoting Rizin in the rest of the Asia and the world.

Many hated Floyd for doing this kind of exhibitions in Japan for easy money. So what will be the argument in Manny pursue the same route as Floyd?

My bad for not seeing it. But still Pacquiao is still at the disadvantage it's like taking a spider out from its web. Pacquiao know boxing and Takanori Gomi knows martial arts and they will fight what fighting stance and skills they know.

As the latest news from Mayweather,he is willing to be a promoter of Manny Pacquiaos fight so maybe this is the fruit of that news as he (Mayweather)had already retired in fighting while Manny is still willing to fight again until 2020 according to the interview last year after his last bout

I don't know it either but OP already told on who or what Rizin federation is.


If you have been following Floyd Mayweather and the discussion about the rematch versus Manny Pacquiao, you are aware of that fight that took so quick and made Floyd earned a lot of money.

Any good analyst here on what will be the odds and possible outcome between Gomi & Manny?

The same thing will happen like Floyd vs Tenshin, this will end up in a minute exhibition lol, if Floyd ended the fight fast what more when it is Pacquiao but I hope he will take easy on it to make the audience enjoy the fight and the money they paid for at least haha. But for real Manny Pacquiao will be in trouble if they allowed kicking tho obviously its a boxing match.

Pacquiao is just wise to accept that easy money  :D

That will be an easy win for Takanori Gomi if the fight mixed martial arts rules. Remeber the fight Randy Couture vs James "Light out" Toney.
The fight ended in 3 min with a submition. Same will be with Manny. Or maybe he will survive for 1 round thanks to his speed.

If they follow MMA rules then Manny is at a dis advantage. If I'm in Manny shoes, I wouldn't just accept any fight just for the sake of money.

He will be branded as just fighting for easy money and following Floyd's footstep. I agree that everyone trolls Floyd for accepting a exhibition fight before and a lot of name calling. Is Manny willing to sacrifice his legacy as well here?

I haven't heard about that news yet but we all know them aside from being a great boxer, Manny Pacquiao also loves trying new things especially sports. However, if I would put myself in his shoes, I wouldn't sign that contract if it's just about money. He's a senator and a boxing champion so I think he could focus more on that.

I don't think so. You do realize that Gomi was on a 6 match losing streak in the past, don't you?

I feel that Manny will easily win this one just like Floyd did against him and earn big bucks and entertain the crowd for a short period of time.

Rizin does fights once in a while and it became famous when Fedor came out of retirement and fought there in their inaugural show, there is no drug testing and anything goes and with the Mayweather theatrics we know anything will happen and i am sure Manny will fight in an exhibition bout with boxing rules and nothing else. Looks like they want exposure by signing big names and as long as they have money to shell out for these bouts they will continue putting fights for the Japanese fans. ;D

But Floyd won easily, because there was a boxing match with a guy, that trained Karate or Taekwondo. I doubt that Floyd can survive 5-10 low kicks. Same with Manny vs Gomi. I dont care that he got 6 match losing streak, when he can out grapple or just destroy Manny's legs with his leg kicks.

Yes, it looks like they still have deep pockets to get Floyd before and now it's Manny turn. It was reported though that Rizin suffered a slump specially when One FC came into the picture. That's why they really needed to resurrect so to speak the company and be competitive right now otherwise One FC will take over the Asian market. So this is a marketing strategy on their part, and I'm sure the money throw around this boxing legends are going to be worth for them in the long run.

boxer has more advantage unless there is a ground fight like in the UFC. he doesn't have to use his feet to kick he still can use his hands alone. i wonder why is it that a boxing champ wanna engage in such arena. i have never heard of Rizin Fighting Federation in my entire life. but this isn't surprising to Pacquiao, he goes beyond what he can do, he got into politics and became senator maybe he wanna be something more than what he is.

Manny Pacquaio is not going to compete in this MMA organization but rather make an appearance in some way.
They are paying him for his time and to promote their show.
Manny will stick to boxing because he will earn the most money there and less threat of defeat.
We could see Pacman in a boxing match with this company since you may recall Mayweather making $9 million for his match with Tenshin Nasukawa.

Would love to hear out some criticism on here just like what i do mostly read up when Floyd involved on these exhibition matches.Time for Manny comments now. 3.2.1....lol

Well I see some criticism already.  But I don't think you will see more from this thread because Manny Pacquiao is so beloved in his country that no one will dare question his motives.

He will just say "I'm doing it for my country and for my beloved Filipinos".  ;D

I shock this news never heard it please can you give link about this news were did you can get it, even in the local channel where i reside i can't heard this contract signing.

You can see my post in the first page.  ;D. Maybe we can't see the same shit storm when it was reported that Floyd will fight in Japan for exhibition and for the love of money. ;)


Did you check on the first page? The OP give us some link, I guess Google is your friend, try to used it, maybe you can find something new.  ;D.

Mate the link has been given on the first page of this post and you can find it almost everywhere by just using a quick search with google.com

Here's the link, I quoted it just for you.

This is a good move by Manny Pacquiao. At the most, he has 1 to 2 years left before he is forced to retire, and Rizin Fighting Federation represents an ideal path to get some big bucks in to his bank account before that date. Don't expect hundred million USD revenue that a fight against Floyd could have brought, but RFF can get him at least $25 million per fight.

Is martial arts involved in boxing? I think that will only add to flexibility, strength and patience. I could see the guy on the photo in a posture that looks like martial though and with no hand gloves  ;D

A mixed martial arts federation is new with regards to Many Pacqiuiao's comfort zone but im sure that the game will be boxing and since that the opponent is a Japanese, the game would be in fair. Many people likes Many to be seen again in a boxing ring. Another million dollar comming through, beep beep.

Nowadays, a boxer are fighting MMA fighter not to protect their belt but of course to make more money. Pacquiao is a great boxer, but if they fight an MMA fighter I think it will ruin its reputation because he fights just for the money. Don't also heard about this federation thing but one thing I'm sure, Manny Pacquiao era is not yet end we will still more fight with him.

This will let pacquiao's ending goal of his career. Technically after having a few fight probably he will going to retire. I know how good he is in boxing but this is a mix martial arts so pacquiao has a lot of weaknesa about it. So, for sure pacquiao's.career will.never have a happy ending unlike mayweather that has retire already with an undefeated record withouth having bad reputations.

I missed out to read your previous comment and we do really have that similar expectations but it seems we arent seeing too much negative views not the same level with Floyd.
This proves out that lots of people do love Manny no matter what decisions he do take.

I cant deny such thing. They would always love their "Champ".

in that case then its going to be quite an offer while pacquiao will take it like he hits two birds in one stone. he seem to be serious in his political career that he register to a university to study political science. if i were in his position i would also accept anything so long as he appears winner in the public eyes. he might be running a position in the government in the next election but before the election he has to appear for a new match as he did before.

Thank you for your concern and correction mate, I overlook the link in the first page. I use this get update about this news.

As expected we don’t want to see a fight like this, that’s all for the money. Boxer is good for a boxer, and if they mix the fight it should be fair. But why Manny needs to fight like this, he’s more than better to Floyd so hopefully he will not sacrifice his own image for this one. A great boxer needs to become a great boxer not just for the sake of money.

Since he do already signed up the contract then expect on whats next. lol

http://i66.tinypic.com/j75atg.png

Whoa~ Seems like Pacman is being invited or he is going for easy money? I don't know either if the fight would be boxing or MMA? (Obviously, it's boxing) :D Well then since Pacman can't find a worthy one and i think most of them are still having a doubt about of fighting MP in the ring. I'd expect it is another exhibition fight again. ;D

What you do expect? For sure it would be a Boxing match just like what happened on Floyd fighting Nasukawa for an exhibition match and this is no different.Money is always important and it seems Boxing is becoming obviously a business.

Great, no worries if you are into discussions, you can try to backread for awhile to ever find an answer with your question.

It wouldn't take a lot of time if you will check and see if there's someone or the answer was posted already.  ;)

I think I will choose not to love or watch boxing anymore because the speculation going around was there no genuine fight anymore like the days of Tyson, Holyfield etc and now a fighting contract company having a shady contract with a fighter which seems not to fight.

Floyd had set the tone obviously, and Manny and others would be boxing great will follow this path to at least earn easy money before finally hanging their gloves. Obviously, boxing or any other sports out there are business, those promoters, network stations are raking lots of money through the names of sports personality and that is the perks of being one of the best athletes in the world.

Nah but Rizin fighting federation signed Pacman because they want to promote a fight which will feature kickboxer and boxer just like the fight between Tenshin Nasukawa and Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, the crossover combat fight of a thing is not something new.



Firstly, the OP statement is confusing because there's nothing misery in the contract cause the contract was just like the one signed by Mayweather then.
Secondly, Pacman will fight before the contract expire but he's not ready for any fight when he signed the contract cause he had eye injure from his last fight and also busy with election campaign things.

Another circus fight to generate money if ever this pushes through. Pretty sure the rules will be the same as the one with floyd so how do you expect these japanese fighters to even hold a candle to such seasoned boxers lol. Nasukawa earned his biggest paycheck however, and that can bait these mma fighters to a boxing match with one of the gretest pound for pound.

Floyd Mayweather vs Tenshin Nasukawa is in boxing. I believe I saw that when I was browsing for youtube videos. Floyd just really toying on Nasukawa and said he can end this game while sleeping. All of these fights and future fight are just for business. It will hype the crowd as they bring a famous boxing player on their fight.

Yeah as Manny’s popularity specially in sports is very desirable and many company wanted him to become a promoter or endorser
Thats right Manny Pacquiao will never gor to other ring than boxing because this is hes legacy and he dont wanna damage hes reputation for this MMA fight

Yes, no doubt that everything is all about money, they will entertained the crowd and the crowd will buy tickets and gamblers will place bets, nothing
serious but everything is for the sake of money, there's no real competitions but to bring entertainment to the crowd and to the gamblers.

I don't think someone would have to bet on that fight because we all know who will be going to win at the end anyway. But watching these great fighters just for the sake of fun, the audience will spend money just to watch them fight in the ring. Maybe they have been studying MP and FMs moves if ever those two will have a rematch in the future.

Manny is too busy focusing on his own son and his career then he is focusing on his own

"Manny Pacquiao’s son Jimuel scores KO in first amateur fight"
https://sports.inquirer.net/346227/manny-pacquiao-son-jimuel-scores-ko-in-first-amateur-fight

https://i.imgur.com/4M0fTdL.png

Congratulations Jimuel for your debut fight and you won it!

Did any sportsbook listed his  match? I was kinda late to show my support to him by betting with his first fight ever. It was also too late for me to know that Jimuel will take his match but good thing that he nailed it! There's now someone to continue the Pacman legacy and it was him.

I don't think that Jimuel Pacquiao would consider pro boxing as a career considering that he is a son of a billionaire and a politician. He just box to add more recognition and i won't be surprised if one day he would star in one tele-series here in the Philippines. Showbiz might be suitable for the younger Pacquiao not boxing. Just my thought.

I agree they just want promotion and hype and the first one is the Mayweather fight, but it also does harm to their fighters because people will perceive fighters from Rizin are so so fighters imagine one of their top fighter getting knock out in the first round compared to MMA's Mcgregor who lasted more than 8 rounds.

I am not so sure if how would this come out but if pacman is going to fight in the octagon then everyone's expectation is absolutely right. Pacman is getting old and we can't deny that his stamina is not as good as before.

Pacman tho is always such a good sports. This is not the first time that he came out from boxing category he even joined the Philippine basketball Association.

Wow, Many Pacquiao is on everything basketball, boxing and politics!!! but going to the octagon sounds to crazy for me... Since the last Floyd fight y don't know what to think about Rizin Fighting Federation but I wish good luck to Many and hope this is a good move for his legacy.

Yes pacman is a very athletic person and fighting in the octagon may be one of his goals. He is even one of the shareholder of the famous One Fighting Championship in ASIA. That might be a signal before of his interest towards Mixed Martial Arts. In the end whatever he wanted to do one thing is for sure. Filipinos will be supporting him all out

It's a Japanese MMA federation that was created by the same guys who ran Pride. There have been some famous fighters there like Fedor, Cro Cop, Wanderlei Silva, Akebono and... Floyd Mayweather lol.

So if they fight, is it going to be a boxing match or a mixed martial arts combat?

Lol. I think they're just staining their reputation as an mma company by pitting even their champions to be punching bags by boxing greats. It's not a good idea on their part though i doubt if manny will agree to this. Floyd did of course because of the money but pacquiao is different from him in that aspect.

They really wanted to do that because of money, no other reasons behind all those changes. Manny did that decision at a very serious and very crucial moment, because if he was satisfied from previous boxing promoter he won't divert to new one. With this strategy, the probability of gaining more possible opponents who has an interest to fight for Pacman would arise. Sooner or later more demands on his boxing career definitely take another milestone on his career, so let's expect another cheers for this boxing politician.

I don't agree about him being good in the politics, i bet he has no idea what's happening inside the senate and the rampant corruption inside it, he was basically got in the senate because of his popularity and not this knowledge

it's still good though he is trying something new out and i bet the other guy got alot of money out of it even if it's loss which is not that bad, i think.

i think there was some agreement between the two, it's not like they will just put the two inside a ring, im pretty sure Tenshin Nasukawa agreed to it.

What happen to the boxing world now, Mayweather started it and he might destroy the reputation of boxing.
I don't like to see mixed martial artist fighting a pro boxer as they have different trading and clearly in different sports.

If they like to entertain people, give a real fight, let's make the Mayweather vs Pacquaio 2 possible please.

there is more possibilities to that being an actor than a boxing champ, the kid already started dating an actress. he already had fame and the money he can spend. he'd rather chose to be a politician or a businessman than be in the shadow of his old man. just so you know Manny Pacquioa has already established numerous businesses.

Manny Pacquiao in MMA? No thanks, I think Connor McGregor entering boxing is enough to show that even if you are good in another combat sport you won't be good in another combat sport, his dominance in MMA didn't gave him the edge he is talking about. The same thing can be said for Pacquiao as even in decades of training boxing won't be enough for him to survive a MMA seasoned pro. Pacquiao would be smart if he takes the route Mayweather has took by doing another exhibition boxing match, but surely for him still having a belt in pro-boxing doing this exhibition match would only harm his reputation.

He do really have all the resources when it comes to fame yet his father do able to provide them all.About on his career,this doesnt matter at all because we dont all know that this sport might really be for him and he do idolized his father.We do have our own insights but lets see on future years to come if he would pursue out boxing career or would easily switch to showbiz.

Then you get it all wrong cause Emmanuel Jimuel Pacquiao was actually following his dream and if it up to his Dad(Manny Pacman) the boy won't have fight in the ring because his heart ache said the report says but hr can't stop his sob dream because of his own personal interest.

I don't think Senator Manny Pacquiao will agree on such terms and fight MMA. If ever he will fight under Rizin, he will fight under boxing rules just like what Floyd Mayweather did last December 2018. I don't recall any news thar Senator Manny trained for MMA. Senator Manny is a businessman as well, he knows what is doing and he will not sign under Rizin if he will not earn anything from it and not on his advantage.

With his age and going to fight a mixed martial artist is quite peculiar, I don't think Manny would fight him or if he would then it should be boxing and without any kind of kicks or knees because that is an advantage for a mixed .artiat artist + Manny's age, it wouldn't be fit but if it happens then I think it's going to be a great match.

He knows how to value his name as well, Manny Pacquiao will fight under the rules of boxing even this is just for entertaining the fans but he wouldn't adjust to any other rules, not unless the price is right but I still doubt that he will do that, lets wait and see if how the promoters will ends up with this
match and they will handle this to bring money to the company.

Yes he would never fight MMA rules which is far too dangerous.
It would be like Mayweather did.

Of course, Manny wouldn't go that far and try to fight with MMA rules because we all know that he can't win that fight. Besides, we have seen Floyd vs Conor with boxing rules and his recent exhibition match with Rizin as well.

Not that I am judging Jimuel or otherwise known as Pacboy (pun intended), I don't think Jimuel will make it like his dad Senator Manny Pacquiao. Jimuel was born when Senator Manny Pacquiao is already making his name. Those who are successful in boxing started at an early age and had a hard time earning money in their early days. Senator Manny Pacquiao had this drive when he was still starting, while Jimuel just want to follow his dads footsteps. But, good luck to the Pacboy.

Here's the fight if any of you are interested to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HceqnYcjdXU

With the way I see things about the Manny contract with the Rizin federations was signed because of the money involve which also the reason why he also choose to fight against Mayweather the other day when we heard a report that he's not totally fit for the fight.

Since Mayweather also fought in Rizin and Asian public likes freak matches, maybe Manny should fight Mayweather by MMA rules ? :D

Your thoughts or mine don't count here mate and his boxing age is not the hinderances cause once hes tested and go to he will defintely have to fight. However, there's no point in him signing the contract which he won't fight or earn some money from it and him fighting a mixed fighter should be a pieces of cake.

Categorically, i cannot see the disadvantage from Pacquuiao against Takanori Gomi, this tournament will not welcome kicking (i presume) which could have given the advantage to Takanori Gomi, so, until then the challenge still stand with Pacquiao in my opinion.

This is more interesting than the news written in the OP.
Why are these two staying away from each other, the fans like them to fight, they owe it to the boxing fans on what they have achieve now.
They should give us a good fight and let this rematch happen.

not gonna happen unless they offer floyd billions. besides he proved himself faster than pacquiao which he believes what matters the most. no doubt he is faster we can check every move he did, he gets in and gets out quickly leaving pacman throwing punches to nothing.


i would only assume the kid does it for his father but ultimately, he will end up having kids from different girls in showbiz as he inherits assets from his father.

Or he probably do some stunt or fix matches in MMA just for promotional stuffs, No one will get hurt and manny will surely take home the win :D

Yes the situation of his father as a starter is different from his start. But let's don't judge it quickly on how long the boy can go on with his journey. He's still starting and let's not compare Jimuel to Manny, they are two both fighters though with the same blood.

This young guy has all what he needs to be a great boxer, there's no problem with trainers, budget, promotions and other things that a boxer wanted just to get to the top. But I think Manny won't feed him much with that because he's teaching him the way on how he should go, starting from the bottom.

You have your point, tho one thing that I would disagree is he loses his reputation. Pacman already have nothing to lose by his age and his career right now this is the main reason why he keeps exploring things that can make him happy and being able to fight fairly ouside of your comfort zone is actually a brave and fun act to do.

Best idea yet  ;D
I say they do it in Dubai and are each paid 450million Euros

This is a big joke,  money is coming only from the revenue of the event and I don't think the usual supporters would appreciate watching them do this.
It's a big loss from the promoters side if they will pay this kind of huge amount.

On the contrary, promoters are willing to give this athlete huge payday because at the end, they all know that they will give the full benefits. If there are no incentives on their part, they wouldn't risk by paying this huge amount. Just remember DAZN's contract with Canelo a whopping $300 million, I'm sure it's calculated risk on their end, but they know they can really get the output when people starting to buy tickets watching Canelo fights. Business is business.

I disagree with you that this is a big joke.  If there are wealthy people willing to pay, participants willing to compete and plenty of money to go around then no one will be laughing at the revenue generated.
There has been many fights like this that have happened in Asia over the years (think Muhammad Ali) as the Asian culture appreciates side shows like these.

Dont ever estimate the wealth of those people specially into those places/countries yet they can pay up uptfront without the need of any revenue if they
do really like for the fight to happen.Considering that dubai is really a very rich country and paying up that amount wont really be a problem but i doubt
who would be the one?On topic reply, If pacquiao do fight with these exhibitional fights then its none of our business.

Yes. Most probably. Manny Pacquiao is a well known boxer all around the globe. And watching him fight an MMA fighter would bring tons of spectators to the said company which is equal to tons of money in return. However, I remembered the fight of McGregor against Mayweather. I just don't think that they should cross their lines. I mean, if they are good at boxing or MMA, the maybe they should just focus there. It's not like I don't have faith in Manny that he could win the fight inside the octagon. It's more of a concern with his reputation. Well, the decision still lies with Manny and their team. Let's see what'll happen.

Some still think that there is a chance of another rematch between Pacquiao and Mayweather.  The amount of money to be had if they fought again would be immense and Floyd already has career winnigns over one billion.

I don't think that it will happen. Manny Pacquiao has tried his best to schedule a rematch, but Floyd Mayweather has rejected his request outright. We can't blame Floyd for that as he is having much better options when compared to Pacquiao. Also he may be thinking that a rematch may accrue less revenue when compared to the original match.

Imagine how much would Floyd and McGregor would earn if they fight once again. Would be great if this time they would do mma rules fight.

If it can produce alot of money then yeah I can see them doing a rematch. Floyd is still in the news and wants to be in the spotlight again so it could very well happen.
Just look at Mcgregor he wants a rematch just for the money. So why not pacquiao?

Maybe your right but Floyd doesn't really have anyone left to fight and the way he is blowing through money he may some really big payouts before he is too old to continue boxing.

Floyd is already 42 years old and at the most he has 2-3 years left. And during this time, we can expect at the most 5 fights from him. The problem is that the welterweight class is looking very thin and there are a limited number of individuals who can offer good competition to Floyd. His fight against McGregor paid him around $300 million and another 5 fights can get him well above $1 billion.

I disagree. Welterweight is the most stack up division in boxing. We have Crawford and Spence and then Porter and Thurman. We also have Danny Garcia and Vargas. The thing is Floyd doesn't want to fight those champions at this stage of his career.

In two months from now, Manny Pacquiao will be fighting against Keith Thurman. Probably Thurman will take on Floyd, in case he wins his fight against Manny (he is the favorite according to the betting odds). But that possibility is for 2020 and not for 2019. I think Floyd doesn't have any immediate plans to fight anyone this year (especially after his low profile MMA fight a few months back).

I only heard it when Mayweather fought a fighter in that circuit but this circuit is unknown because we don't have this on our TV circuit, they want huge promotion for their organization and getting big names in the sport is a good way to promote their organization, Mayweather and Pacquiao is such a good choice, although they would have to spend millions to get these two fighters.

Maybe this is the reason why they signed up Manny Pacquiao in Rizin Fighting Federation, to hep them promote the company by being par of their roster or perhaps owner. Remember that Manny Pacquiao is also part of One FC, an MMA promotion based in South East Asia that is starting to gain grounds in MMA.

Me too, haven’t heard of Rizin Fighting Federation but if incase Manny will have to fight an MMA fighter then I think it is fine knowing he has experience a lot of fights already. I don’t agree with Manny on a disadvantage of he fights in MMA because Manny is strong he is known for his strong punches so long as Manny will punch the opponent hard enough and don’t let it tangle him or get hold of him then it is okay. I watched MMA fight before and I witnessed a previous boxer who already won couple of fights against an MMA fighter and to my surprise the boxer won, I think it is more of the strategy to always get ahead of your opponent, at that match the boxer just keep on punching whenever he got a chance and he didn’t let the MMA fighter get hold of him until the MMA fighter can’t take the punches anymore.

If there is no stipulation that he is going to fight anyone in their roster then what will be his role in the federation since he is still an active boxer, he is going to fight definitely, and if they asked to fight someone in their roster he will go for it, he is afraid of no one, I hope they'll pick a fighter that is much better than Mayweather's opponent in Japan.

Sorry but this is kind of a stupid move if he (Manny) ever decides to have an exhibition match with an MMA fighter. I don't see this happening while he is active in boxing. Maybe when he's retired?

McGregor/Pacquiao needs Floyd much more than Floyd needs McGregor/Pacquiao.  ;D

But probably Floyd is thinking about a different opponent. And he is right when he prefers someone else. A fresh opponent may bring him more revenue when compared to a repeat rival. On top of that Floyd is already 42 years old and he knows that the time window for him is running out.
