It is not clear exactly where McGregor, 32, and Filipino superstar Pacquiao, 41, would have their supposed fight - or if the Irishman was 100 per cent genuine in what he was saying.

This is just pure speculation as of now, specially the news come from Conor's camp. So for now we have to wait and see. If things get finalized then that's the time we can have a 'serious' conversation. And I can't believed that Manny Pacquiao is willing to take this fight though, this is exhibition match. Can Conor go to 147 lbs?

This is just an obvious money-grab for McGregor, and we know how bad he fought against Mayweather on August of 2017.

“It’s something that’s been talked about over the last year and it’s something I think could happen one day. The senator is going to fight again in 2021. He’s absolutely looking to fight and Conor McGregor is on the list of guys the senator could fight,” Gibbons said about Pacquiao, who serves as a senator in his native Philippines. “If the fight ever did happen it would be a huge global event between two global superstars. But it’s a long way from (there being any kind of deal). This is just Conor playing around right now, wishful thinking.”

- Sean Gibbons - President of MP Promotions

The camp of Manny Pacquiao is actually open (https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/boxing/757292/pacquiao-camp-says-mcgregor-fight-being-considered/story/) for the fight to happen, and even stated that they would be donating the fight proceeds into charities that cater to COVID-19 victims. This is just an obvious money-grab for McGregor, and we know how bad he fought against Mayweather on August of 2017. While this is exciting and all for the Irishman to set the records straight again that he's an undisputed fighter, we just know that Pacquiao is several leagues above him when it comes to boxing. Either way, I want to see this happen, and might even put some bets on other lines except for who's going the winner because there's no value in there honestly.

There is serious discussion happening to try and make a Pacquiao vs. McGregor fight. McGregor is coming off a win in a tune up fight in January. His last win in a championship fight was in 2016. His record in MMA is 22-4, in boxing he is 0-1. Manny Pacquiao has a record of 62-7-2 and is coming off a win against Keith Thurman for the WBA Welterweight Title in July of 2019.

I don't think that Manny will accept this kind of fight because He is a respectable Boxer and politician and i know he will never lower His position to fight a Clown in Boxing9with Due respect for Conor in Octagon,but not in rectangle ring)

look what happen when Mayweather and Conor Fight,the rung becomes a clown show.

“Regarding the news coming from McGregor himself, we don’t deny it. In fact, our lawyers are finalizing all the confidential details, but both fighters are getting ready for this one epic last boxing fight. According to Paradigm Sports Management head Audie Attar, the fight may happen in the Middle East next year,"

The match is already confirmed to happen next year. This will be a boxing match so the favor of the game I think will be with Pacquaio if he can drag it to a long match, we all saw how much McGregor can only last in a boxing match versus Mayweather but I expect him to train harder now that it is confirmed. 9 years age difference, but we see how  Pacquaio play against younger opponents so we can expect nothing less from him.

The fight will push through and it's official the fight will go ahead somewhere in the middle east so expect a lot of media promotion on this coming fight, McGregor seems to be the one very exciting on this fight

https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/boxing/757318/pacquiao-to-fight-mcgregor-next-year-in-the-middle-east/

While Conor McGregor lost his last boxing with Floyd Mayweather.

This will gonna be a big fight in history again once it will happen.
We all know what Manny Pacquiao can do inside a ring, Manny Pacquiao still undefeated since it's last 3 fights. While Conor McGregor lost his last boxing with Floyd Mayweather.
In terms of the odds, it's still early to decide for this. But I'll totally go with Manny Pacquiao this time.

so they finally made it happen.


if money wasn't a huge factor on why their fight happened I would have still no Idea get how can McGregor get a fight with Mayweather. in terms of experience, Mcgregor is an amateur compare to Mayweather or Pacquiao. boxing is really becoming less of a sport but a money-making opportunity

Pacman is not interested in money like Floyd and will end this fight quickly. This wont be a show march for spectators, 3-5 rounds and TKO

In a statement sent to CNN Philippines, Pacquiao’s camp said details of the match are still being finalized. What's certain is a huge portion of Pacquiao's earnings will be used to help in COVID-19 response, his office said.

There's still no guaranty that the fight will push through Connor is just all talks here, there was no official announcement on the camp of Manny Pacquiao but knowing both fighters they want this to push through for entertainment but we all know who's going to win if the format is boxing.

Wow, I can't imagine how McGregor decided to fight Manny. I know and I believe that he has the ability when it comes to close fight, MMA, but not for boxing. He's out fighting against Mayweather before and probably the same result to come out once they finally on the game. But I'm not sure if Manny will take this (opportunity) time as He already been facing huge responsibility as the COVID-19 cases in the Philippines isn't over yet.

I put my bet to Manny, McGregor is young enough, less experience in boxing. He's nothing TBH.

Pacquiao is one of the greats, he has nothing to prove, let alone against a MMA fighter. I struggle to see a need for this fight, it makes a bit of a show of the sport.

I see your point, but there's nothing wrong if Pacman will accept the match. I believe in Manny that he will win the fight if ever that it will be set. But we should not take away the chance that McGregor still have the slightest chance for this match up. A fact, Pacquiao will donate the money that he will get from that match for the victims of covid 19 here in our country.

Let's see if it can generate interest both in the boxing and MMA fans but majority of us here will bet that Manny will be the run away winner here, Manny is very much superior to McGregor in boxing skills, yes Connor has power but that can he execute it properly and besides this is not a five round fight it's a ten rounds fight and Connor will run out of gas or he will be knocked out.

This is not going to be real boxing. This is like a game of some kind. Conor doesn't know how to box. But credits to him for even coming up with this plan. He really knows how to stir the fans and make money out of it. He's a pro in marketing.

But let this fight happen if the fans want to see the two with their boxing gloves. We all know how it will end up, Conor getting schooled by the legend.

I don’t see any point to this fight aside from a big pay day for both fighters. McGregor isn’t a boxer, it’s a farce, I would like to see him back in the Octagon where he belongs.

Such fights only annoy me and do not cause any interest, this is a farce. Obviously, Pacquiao will win easily. I would look with interest at Conor's boxing with some boxer from the bottom of the first hundred - young and ambitious. That would be really interesting (and I think Conor would lose).

~ And I can't believed that Manny Pacquiao is willing to take this fight though, this is exhibition match.

He is known for his generosity in the Philippines. Conor is a cash cow and it makes sense for Manny to fight him instead of other boxers because it can generate more money. The more PPVs, the more he can donate for COVI-19 relief.

Manny is a clear winner here. The only question is how long will he entertain the fans and let Conor stay on his feet.

I am also rooting for Manny Pacquiao all the way since day one of his boxing career. And talking about the intention, Pacquiaco really does what he says. Although I think that rules and scoring system must be clearly indicated since this is a boxing match and Conor do not really have a clear record of being a good boxer or even for showing how being a boxer truly is, as witnessed by the many.

Is it official? Another money making for McGregor but we surely know that Pacquiao will won this since it's a boxing match and not an MMA it would be really a disgrace for a legendary boxing fighter to be get lose from an MMA fighter since boxing is his specialty.

I won't believed it until it actually happens. Yes, Pacquiao will obviously win this win, just a matter of what round will Conor quit or getting knock-out. What catchweight are they going to fight? And I think Middle East is the logical choice since there are a lot of Arab billionaires more willing to pay them huge amount of money just to see them. And nice gesture of Manny if his purse goes to the victims of the pandemic in the Philippines.

I'm sure Pacquiao will beat McGregor, and surely McGregor will regret his decision by challenging Pacquiao. As we know Pacquiao's
ability is far above McGregor, moreover Pacquiao accepts McGregor's challenge not because of money. But want to do charity for
his country. This will further increase Pacquiao's popularity as a politician in the Philippines.

McGregor is young enough, less experience in boxing. He's nothing TBH.

If only McGregor will train hard to have a better stamina and better paly style in boxing he will surely be as good as those top caliber boxers. Fight style is different from MMA it is actually hard for McGregor to step out of the octagon and fight in another ring with different nature. McGregor with proper training will surely have an edge against Pacquiao.

What's Conor McGregor bringing forth to fight Manny Pacquiao? Conor gats nothing worth fighting for with him ''no heavyweight belt''. The fight between both two will not be possible.
The only fight Manny Pacquiao will embrace without much stress is to have another opportunity to fight with Mayweather again

Curious if this will ever push thru. Maybe if this will build up to multi-million dollar deal, both camps will go for this fight.

There is serious discussion happening to try and make a Pacquiao vs. McGregor fight.

What makes interesting is that some part of the proceeds will be donated to the victims of coronavirus in Philippines. This is a good thing I see to help the victims.

So, who is your favourite bet? Who do you think will win the fight?

It can be an epic match between the two, of course.

Do you have any clue what it takes to be a top boxer?  You can't just say oh he is good at mma, with a little training he will be a top boxer.  This is for pure entertainment and money thats it.  It won't be competitive in the least bit.  The odds should be 50-1 in favor of Pacquiao and if it goes past the first round it should be 100-1 from there on out.  MMA is a COMPLETELY different sport.

“For the sake of all the Filipino COVID-19 victims, Senator Manny Pacquiao will be fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor next year,” Jayke Joson, special assistant to Pacquiao, who is also a Philippine senator, said on Saturday.

Well, that is right. Something like Pacman lower his standard on boxing, I don't know if Mcgregor will reach the 12 rounds if he will not knockout earlier as perhaps other previous opponents by  Pacman. Perhaps, thi is all about money, Mcgregor can still have his prize even he is loss againts Manny Pacquiao. It is clear as in a crystal clear that the opponent of Pacman will not wil and hist nothing compared to PACMAN a Filipino boxer. It is nice to see this fight on how can Mcgregor defend the PACMAN punches, he will surely regret on this. However, back to the PACMAN's proposal, it seems touching my heart, good people like this will always have a bless. I really like his proposal on this fight.

I have searched for some confirmation and it's the office of Manny Pacquiao that has confirmed this fight but, from MP himself he hasn't said any word.

I just see another the same match that Conor did before with Mayweather. But if the camp of MP has confirmed this to happen, we just have to wait from the official announcement of his manager or campaigner as they're the one fixing his upcoming matches.

I am not hoping for this to happen.

I think Manny could fight other boxers and not this kind of an exhibition match. I know Manny and his game with every strong opponent he will face but I think it is better for Pacquiao to fight other professional boxers now and let this plan be his final match if he decides to hang the gloves, or maybe other rematches to prove that he's the best boxer of this generation.

Since yesterday, there are legit sources in different social media platforms that posted this fight so this will happen :).

Main reason why he choose to fight this one is for the country (since he is always fighting for our country in the first place). He want to help those who are the most affected ones by this pandemic that is why majority or large portion of his winnings will be going to these people. What a kind fighter and politician we have :).

Yes it was only said first by Manny's assistant as been also said in news. So it's really confirmed and He will do it for helping in needs due to Pandemic, portion of his winning will go for helping many. <snip>

Yep, the match is already confirmed, just need to be set up.
Manny accepted the fight  so he could donate his winnings to charity to help those people here in our country that are affected by the Covid 19 pandemic.
He is a great and a legendary boxer as well as a good person that have so much care for his fellow countrymen.

I'm believing with money, I'm sure most of us Filipino, if not all, are also believing to him. So much talent and determination, a true warrior.

By this statement I can assume that this fight is just for money and for sure Manny will win just like the fight of Floyd and Conor.

Well, I do support Pacman for this one but I don’t like to see a boring fight and hopefully its not an obvious fight. This will happen next year right? Let’s see if this will push through and yeah many people will benefit on this.

This is the reason why he is fighting that man because we really need some funds for the charities and our fellow countrymen who has less fortunate may benefit from this fight. As of today, there are lots of videos of reviews in youtube regarding this fight and most of them don't really whether what the aim of this fight as long as this fght will happened in the middle east. I am also excited for this fight to happen and hope that they will fight like they used to be in the ring.

The odds are not good IMO.

Conor at +700.. nobody would bet on him against money though the odds is very attractive.

Manny  -1200, I know Manny would win this fight, but 1200 usd for 100 usd win, I'll pass on that.

If Manny had already decided then lets wait on McGregors team to agree and then set the fight.Some said that this might not happen but we do able to heard up on whats the motive of Manny Pacquiao for this match
which is really a heroic kind of thing specially into these hard times on where people do lost their jobs and have some problem on day to day living.Its rare for someone whom do donate most part of his winnings
for the sake of others..Hopefully this fight would push through not for the sake of fame or reputation but thinking off for the people that would be helped for this cause.This is aint a charity fight or whatsoever
but the other fighter had already recognized for this one to be the way on making things.When it comes to winner talks then theres no doubt that he would really pull this one off easily.
Boxing rules will always suit boxing fighters.

Actually at -1200 those are great odds even though its almost $1 for every $12 bet.  If I blindly told you  an ex world champion in professional boxing is going up against a guy who has fought one other professional boxers in his life wouldn't this be considered a steal of a fight.  When conner faced floyd money brought it down to around 7-1 and thats when the massive money came pouring into floyd at Vegas pushing the odds back out.  I imagine people will bet on conner as a novelty but then as the fight draws closer a ton of mo ey will come in on pac

Does anyone have an idea why he seems to be looking for matches against boxers?

Conor won't make it if it's boxing, it's a different kingdom for him and he just can't take the people's champ. I'm not belittling him but this seems to be his business today and sees it more profitable than to fight in a UFC match.
Does anyone have an idea why he seems to be looking for matches against boxers? or it's just simply about making money for these matches as he sees more money in it?

It is a challenge to him, I guess. I am not against this fight as we all know Manny Pacquiao also donates for his people after a huge fight. With the current state of the country with the pandemic continuously growing, money is badly needed to support the families affected.

In terms of Connor, I think this will be a challenge and money to him, no other reason. He's already popular with his match against Floyd, he is known in the UFC world, I guess that just sorrounds his goals to that two.

No... not a challenge but money only, if he like some real challenge, he should challenge a boxer where he has a chance, it's his 2nd fight in professional boxer if ever this fight will pursue and he would still lose this fight like what happen with Mayweather. If Manny would knock him out, which I think he can if he will be serious with the fight, I think Conor will taste how sweet to make money in boxing.

Does that also mean that boxing matches like these earn big cash than UFC matches? I guess that would be the reason he's asking for it in the past. We all know he's a hard puncher but I never thought of how big they are being paid inside the octagon, so I thought it is kind of a challenge to him and the money, of course.

That's purely because of money.

I 'll give you an idea how much conor made during his fight with Mayweather,

 Conor McGregor Made 'Around' $100 Million for Floyd Mayweather Fight, Knows He Would Win Rematch (https://www.forbes.com/sites/trentreinsmith/2017/11/01/conor-mcgregor-made-around-100-million-for-floyd-mayweather-fight-knows-he-would-win-rematch/#7f8beda01d13)

Easy money, right?

Its all business as usual and its sad that they do jump off into other sports just for the sake of money even they do know that they dont have the chance on winning.
He knows that he would win a rematch? Hell no, and its clear as day that the would just aim for another big paycheck if ever there would be a sequel but this
time he's aiming for Pacquiao which can possibly generate more or less on what he expected but it is much better than nothing at all or the amounts that he
cant gain when he's on UFC.

Yes it was only said first by Manny's assistant as been also said in news. So it's really confirmed and He will do it for helping in needs due to Pandemic, portion of his winning will go for helping many. Hopefully He will really win, not just because of his good heart for other but because he still deserves to win despite his age, he's still strong and fast.

just like Mayweather vs. Mcgregor fight,this will end up a Boxer won over streetfighter .
Conor is a great fighter but not inside the boxing ring.

i will definitely go for Manny pacquiao.

And McGregor is a much more harmless than the other boxers out there who are calling Manny Pacquiao.

He has a lot of future in the Philippine politics that he may have retired for good now.

I know this will be a big night, and a big seller for the fans. However, I'd just like to see Conor actually get back into the UFC, and start earning his way back to a title shot. I'm not a fan of these boxing crossovers, since someone of Conor's quality, and persona should be fighting for titles, and not these white collar boxing events. I do think this will be a good fight, and ultimately Pacquiao will come out on top. Although, I'm hoping Conor, and Dana sort out their issues, and get Connor back in contention for the title within a few years.

I do doubt it though, I believe Conor thinks he deserves big money for the once big name he was. Don't get me wrong hes still a massive name inside UFC, but he was taken apart in his last but one fight against Khabib, and against Cerrone it was too short lived to really get an idea of whether he can return back to the big names.

And McGregor is a much more harmless than the other boxers out there who are calling Manny Pacquiao. This maybe called cherry picking on the Pacman camp but hardcore boxing fans would understand this move by the fighting senator. He has a lot of future in the Philippine politics that he may have retired for good now.

Back in the fight,Conor has no ability to win over boxer when he cannot use grappling in boxing,or even kicks  ;D

I doubt this will happen even though Conor says it will and Manny's camp seem to suggest they're working on it.

As far as progress reports are concerned, I'll give 80% chance that the fight will happen.

We have to take note that Pacquiao is eyeing to share the majority of his profit on this fight to the charity and McGregor is a best pick for that in terms of "entertainment purposes". If Pacquio is looking for another milestone on his career, he should instead pick another boxer but since he has a purpose of giving hand to the PH community who got struck by the pandemic, I think he believes McGregor can boost PPV sales.

Not really a big deal for me if this fight will happened or not. Pacquiao is serious when picking a boxer for his own reason. For now, his charitable work will be his priority why this fight should happen.

Sportsbookies should add boxing now on their list, if they don't have yet.
Because this upcoming fight will be a good money maker for them.
Since the camp of Pacquiao confirmed that this match will be happening, then high chance that this will really happen.
If next year, they may open the gates already. Hopefully, vaccine will be already available for public before they set the date.

He had swallowed his pride as a boxer and did decide to fight off for another fighter which isnt on boxing related.For some there might be criticism yet he had tarnished out his pride as a true boxer and just
do these kind of in-cross sports fight but basing on his aim and goal then people will surely understand.It would really be a big help specially now that people are suffering from pandemic situation.
80% chance for it to happen is already a good indication that this will push through.We do only need some final words or announcement on when this fight will happen.
Having these Legendary fighters on both Boxing and MMA will surely boost up PPV sales.

That's purely because of money.

Maybe this is His way of maintaining popularity kabayan,at least whenever he Goes up the ring to fight His name refreshed and people will remain trusting Him,as i believe that the next target is either Vice or president .

...

Easy fight for easy money, I don't even think that it's also harmful for Conor as definitely it will be a soft fight just to entertain the fans. I know there are still buying this fight, Boxing and UFC fans combined, that would result a bigger revenue, probably bigger than Conor vs Mayweather last fight.

What we saw with Mayweather and Conor fight before is just like what I saw if this fight will happen. We already know whos Conor and much more we know about Manny. I don't know what Conor had looking about this decision. Well, anything to speculate is all about money, not the aim to win. Anyway, it was him that would like to test how strong is Manny and might feel what others feel too.

I think he had lost the enthusiasm once the taste the huge pay check fighting Floyd Mayweather. And he knows that no Dana or at least the UFC can't give him that, not even fighting Khabib. So his only options is to chase Manny and probably retire for good.

There is a big difference in both these fights, when Conor McGregor fought Floyd Mayweather, he was a mystery to many as he was smoking everyone like the way he predicted and he was on a winning streak winning his second belt and so was the reason the anticipation was high among causal fans whether he will defeat an undefeated boxer but if he is fighting Manny Pacquiao all of that mystery is gone, he is on a loosing streak and the big punch in the Khabib fight came from Khabib and McGregor was on the receiving end, so if he thinks that he can make the same kind of money he is dreaming  :D.

Manny Pacquiao is a much faster fighter and there is no way Conor McGregor could defeat him, it is better for him to go after easy fights rather than getting humiliated again.

I've seen some of his videos shadowboxing he is very slow although he shows some power with those punches if those punches cannot connect that will be nothing and with Pacquiao, it's very hard to connect a clean punch because of this speed and the awkward movement he has no chances whatsoever Manny will just play with him.

I think Pacquiao will be relevant in the Philippines as he is a Senator, and there are reports that he is eyeing the Presidency? if this is true then he could focus more on his politics instead of boxing. However, it was mentioned that if he ever accept this fight, 'portion' of his pay check will go to Covid-19 victims in his country, so it's a win-win situation here. Also, Pacquiao will not get damage here and can continue to chase the young champions in the 147 lbs if he wanted to after the Conor fight, good strategy on his part.

I doubt this will happen even though Conor says it will and Manny's camp seem to suggest they're working on it. If they both need the money they should just fight people in their respective sports.

Manny Pacquiao opens as the heavy betting favorite.

https://i.imgur.com/kAZEYRl.png

Completely understandable as he do have a good reason to pursue this fight, it will be more on profits taking now, promoters and each camps needs to agree with the payments that they'll be sharing after the fight.

Not much in the titled but more on beneficiary fight for Pacquiao, majority of he's shared will be used to help more people
who are continuously suffering from this hardship.

He's doing things to extend his help allowing every open opportunities to grab up and use as supplementary for his goodwill.

I agree that Pacquiao had an upset win against Thurman. But still I am quite skeptical about his chances against Mcgregor. He may be more suited for MMA, but Mcgregor is in the top of his form. Obviously you can point to his recent defeats (such as the loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in boxing and to Khabib Nurmagomedov in MMA), but his last performance (TKO against Donald Cerrone) once again proves that he's among the best out there.

BTW, one of the reasons why I would be making a bet in favor of Mcgregor is that the gambling odds will always be biased for Pacquiao, due to the huge number of fans who bet in his favor. I would say betting in favor of Pacuqiao is like a high-risk move, with potential for a low-return.   

Looks Like Conor again wanted to try His skills over Boxers?

because after Floyd Mayweather now he will try the second most popular Boxer of our time Manny Pacquiao.

I want to see how he will try His best to at least win over a boxer since He is  Mix Martial Arts fighter and has already Lose once in this Ring.

if he wasn't KO on floyd's fight, he will be in this fight I believe.

That Pacman win over Thurman is not an upset mate, it is expected. In fact, on the bookies, Pacquaio is the favorite on that match days prior to the fight and i won on that fight with a 1.78 odds on Pacman.

McGregor maybe still on the prime on MMA but they will be fighting on boxing where the only advantage of Mcgregor is his youth. The template on how to beat a MMA fight in a boxing match is already written by Mayweather and i expect Pacman will do what Floyd have done to Mcgregor.

I think so too. The difference on the Floyd-Connor fight is both of them most do care on money, I suppose and with Floyd's style on boxing it wouldn't be that surprising that no KO happens. This time it will be different Pacquiao do really fight for glory, well, almost all of his fights we do expect a KO.

I've read somewhere on the internet that Manny Pacquiao was tipped to KO,  McGregor on the very first round of their match. Is it true?

Pacquiao is not interested in fighting a UFC fighter. This is not fun to see and if they will fight on boxing I will go for Manny Pacquiao. The training they had is different because Manny Pacquiao is good puncher and a real fighter in boxin while Conor maybe a power puncher too or good fighter but this is boxing and not all the trained areas will be utilized by a UFC fighter. Boxing is a very strategic game and usually boxers are good in punching while Mc Gregor I do not know where could his advantage against Manny Pacquiao. Even if they will all go for a single round I bet that Mc Gregor will going to dance with Manny punches, movement and speed. He must have a longer preparation like years before he can beat manny pacquiao. If they do not know how fast and power Manny then they can see it and experience in the boxing ring.

Conor McGregor declared late last week that his next fight will be against Manny Pacquiao, but Mikey Garcia is not so sure.

In his tweets on Friday night, McGregor posted his messages to UFC president Dana White, showing that he tried to arrange a return to MMA earlier this year.

Then, McGregor tweeted: “Anyway all water under the bridge who gives a fook. I’m boxing Manny Pacquiao next in the Middle East.”

In addition, McGregor’s manager Audie Attar – who also represents Pacquiao – told ESPN that there are ‘serious talks’ ongoing for the fight, though it is not a done deal yet.

The following morning, a statement came out from Pacquiao’s office which said: “For the sake of all the Filipino COVID-19 victims, Senator Manny Pacquiao will be fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor next year.

“The huge portion of his earnings will proceed to those who are affected nationwide by the pandemic.”

Prior to this news, there had been little mentioned within the boxing world about Manny’s next bout.

When his name was brought up, it was strongly linked with either Mikey Garcia or Terence Crawford.

Garcia has now thrown a spanner in the works and told McGregor he’s not Pacquiao’s next opponent after all.

n the last few months, Pacquiao has been rumored as an opponent for several big names - including Errol Spence, Mikey Garcia, and even UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

Sean Gibbons, the head of Pacquiao’s MP Promotions, indicates that whoever the boxer faces - he won't be coming back on the cheap, so a live crowd will likely be necessary in some form.

And also this,


https://www.boxingscene.com/manny-pacquiao-ring-return-likely-require-some-fans-venue--152120

So definitely, Manny will only fight if there is a crowd, which for now is most unlikely. If it's Mikey Garcia then so be it, and we all know that we would rather see him with a boxer, than something like Conor who are no match and just fighting him for the big money in the table.

MMA vs boxer, not a good fight to watch but since this attracts money, good for them.

And one thing I would disagree, Pacman does not upset Thurman as he was the betting favorite in the fight.

According to the boxing odds at MyBookie.ag on May 15, the opening line for the Pacquiao vs. Thurman fight had Thurman as a -135 favorite (wager $135 to win $100). Pacquiao's opening line was +115 (wager $100 to win $115).

Manny Pacquaio was not the initial favourite though, it was Thurman,


https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterkahn/2019/07/05/why-manny-pacquiao-became-the-odds-on-favorite-to-defeat-keith-thurman/#32faffe45231

But the odds change as the fight gets closer, (which usually happen). However, in this fight, Manny should be the opening betting favourite and I doubt that Conor can overcome it. Obviously, they are going to fight in the ring, although Conor has a powerful left as well, Manny has a good chin, (although broken by Marquez), but still I believed it can hold against Conor's left. And we all know that Pacquiao is a volume puncher, his right hand is underrated, but I think it will be his main weapon against Conor and then it will be finish with his left.

Boxing and MMA is quite different, if it's boxing, it's Manny who will win and if its in MMA it's obviously Mcgregor.

Since McGregor is a Mix martial artist he can switch to boxing with no problems. So he will fight Manny Pacquiao in his sport which is boxing. Now McGregor need to accelerate his practice in his stamina because last time he fought Mayweather he is lacking this basic and lose the fight. they don't have more than 5 rounds in the UFC because fights won't reach that long. But in boxing, he needs to expect the fight to reach 12 rounds since he is fighting one of the living legends.

I agree they are very much different, no way Manny Pacquiao will shift to MMA because he is fighting all his life in boxing once McGregor take him down that's the end for Pacquiao, and since this boxing, Mcgregor has a slim chance to win in this match he should have opted for a rematch with Khabib he will be embarass here.

Manny Pacquiao opens as the heavy betting favorite.

https://i.imgur.com/kAZEYRl.png

I think this could be a very tense fight because Manny Pacquiao's reputation is at stake against Conor McGregor who I think still has the potential to win if he can use good strategy and have high luck. just watch how the match and the results hopefully won't be a nightmare for Pacquiao.

It appears that Pacman and Conor might be the promoters of this fight. I am not certain how trustworthy is this journalist, however. The source was not mentioned.

In any case, I am hoping for the MMA fans to hype Conor for better odds on Pacman hehehe.



Statement from Senator @MannyPacquiao (1 of x): “At the present time, I do not have an existing management contract with @AudieAttar. I have formed my own company, Pac Sports and Entertainment, and am more than willing to give the fans what they want: (MORE)

Senator @MannyPacquiao statement (2 of 2): An exciting fight with @TheNotoriousMMA under terms and conditions where I am the co-promoter with my company. Thank you and God bless.”

It's not gonna happen, everyone knows Conor has no chance of beating Pacman, he isn't as good as Mayweather and what I like about Conor is he never back down and with that, he is a good target for Manny's power punch and he might kneel to the king of boxing if the fight happen.

For the win

Mayweather -400

McGregor +300

Now Pacquiao is -1200 while McGregor is +700, see the big difference, so I agree, it's hard to hype McGregor here.

It appears that Pacman and Conor might be the promoters of this fight. I am not certain how trustworthy is this journalist, however. The source was not mentioned.

If this fight would be possible to happen then I think it would be a good event, McGregor is such an aggressive MMA fighter and Manny Pacquiao is an aggressive as well, it would be good to see them both in a ring. I want to see if McGregor can play boxing sports, actually, this even would be just a bonus game and all of the money that Pacquiao will receive will be sent to the citizens of the Philipines who get affected by the pandemic virus, we can see how kind Manny Pacquiao is because even though he has a disadvantage from the age, he still accepted the fight.

"At the present time, I do not have an existing management contract with Paradigm Sports Management. I have formed my own company, Pac Sports and Entertainment, and am more than willing to give the fans what they want: An exciting fight with Conor McGregor under terms and conditions where I am the co-promoter with my company. Thank you and God bless," Pacquiao told The Daily Mail.

The match between McGregor and Floyd generated more than $800 million in revenue. If this fight also generates a similar figure, and if the majority of it goes for charitable causes, then it will be a very significant help for a small country like Philippines. Manny would agree, and I hope that McGregor would be fine in donating a part of his paycheck to the charitable cause.

If this fight is really gonna happen, then the result is already crystal clear, Manny Paquiao would win. Conor is a mixed martial artist, meaning punching is not his expertise so in a boxing match, the odds will be in Manny Paquiao surely. I hope this match would happen in the right time because I've heard that it was for a good cause, and that is to help people in the amidst on this pandemic.

I know our Champ is old enough and already decided to quit boxing in 2021, but he still has the power of the true legend and a person with a heart that is full of humanity.

So this match-up is only speculation?

Yeah Manny has high chances if winning. Besides why would mcgregor wanted to fight manny in a boxinf ring? I think the fight will be all about the money. Since Manny has influence greatly in boxing especially during the fight with Mayweather then others like Mcgregor has been motivated to ask for fight even if they are not in line with their fighting career. How would he hit Manny with such agility, speed and power punches? He will just going to dance with sweet music and sleep well when gets knock out.

McGregor wants to face UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier next.

Yeah Manny has high chances if winning.

It is funny to read that Manny has chances to win. A guy that trained boxing for his entire life and is one of unique fighters has chances over a rookie in boxing and has only 1 boxing fight. A chance against a guy that did not do any fighting sport for half of his life. A chance against a guy that likes to drink and smoke (Tyson Fury is an exception).

I second the motion Hahahah ;D :D chance are we talking about chance ?

Oh well, I think if the fight will not be rigged then the chance of losing for Manny is slim, though he's fighting for charity works, most probably he will aim to win and bag much bigger money to help those people who are in need due to this pandemic virus.

Chance for Conor to win is very slim, but there's always a chance since Manny is also human despite looks god in boxing. You know, what if Manny got injured in the fight and Conor would dominate him due to that injury, so that makes Conor as a winner, but then, there's only a slim chance of happening but wouldn't bet anyway of Manny's odds, unless there's an odds available to know Conor as that's likely to happen.

Seeing that he will use his earnings and donate it to charity or the government's efforts in the pandemic is a very noble cause indeed. He has given many and has helped many in his country and his help will be greatly needed in this time of troubles and uncertainty. Manny still has power left and would still be able to execute many moves that could beat his opponent and will be able to do more to help the poor and those who need help.

We can't doubt his power especially against an MMA fighter. Manny Pacquiao might old if you look at the age, but he just beat a young fighter and he is currently the champion in that division, this is just an easy fight for Manny and easy money, that's why taking it is not hard.

Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao confirmed he will fight two-time UFC champion Conor McGregor next year.

"For the sake of all the Filipino Covid-19 victims, Senator Manny Pacquiao will be fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor next year," Joson said, per ESPN Ringside. "The huge portion of his earnings will proceed to those who are affected nationwide by the pandemic."

Yeah! the spokesperson of Manny Pacquiao in his official page has stated that one of the reasons he is fighting McGregor is about the money he can earned. He had a good reasons since our country is struggling to get through from this pandemic. Some of the money he earned from that fight, if it's gonna happen, will be donated to the charity in our country to be donated to those needy that badly needed some basic financials.

Well, if that is the case then we can also say that this is also an easy money for Conor McGregor since it is said that these kinds of games or matches paid so much even in professional MMA matches. Either way, I know that Manny Pacquiao would but using that huge money to support the country with the ongoing pandemic.

so it is a fight for a cause for Pacquiao? I wonder if Mcgregor feels the same the money he'll get. as always Pacquiao is thinking about others. what a great fighter and a human being.

now about the fight, I am not really expecting anything but I hope I can see an aggressive approach from Mcgregor since I already know Pacquiao will be aggressive and give us an at least an entertaining fight.

Well, if that is the case then we can also say that this is also an easy money for Conor McGregor since it is said that these kinds of games or matches paid so much even in professional MMA matches. Either way, I know that Manny Pacquiao would but using that huge money to support the country with the ongoing pandemic.

I hope they push through because there are so any hindrances to make this fight happens I just read this article here and it's a fresh article
Pacquiao wants to co promote the fight.

Manny Pacquiao lays down his demand before fighting Conor McGregor (https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/boxing/758092/manny-pacquiao-lays-down-his-demand-before-fighting-conor-mcgregor/story/)

“I have formed my own company, Pac Sports and Entertainment, and am more than willing to give the fans what they want: An exciting fight with Conor McGregor under terms and conditions where I am the co-promoter with my company.”

The demand is simple, I don't think it's a big hindrance to make this fight happen if Conor McGregor agrees with it. He was the one challenging Manny, so he needs to give the demand, besides Manny can pick a boxer and still make money.

Here's the demand per written in the article shared.

I believe Conor is fighting Pac for money and additional fame. Though we know, the bottomline of this fight is all about the money. Yet, it is still interesting to see these 2 fighters inside the ring. Maybe for entertainment purposes because we all know who's gonna have the edge inside. Are we really going to see a toe-to-toe fight here?

If this will indeed happen, sportsbooks will easily pick up this match. Another upcoming money-maker for bookies.

As a Manny Pacquiao fan, of course I am quite excited to hear the news that Manny will be boxing against Conor McGregor.
I won't miss this match, not because McGregor is a strong opponent. But I am always entertained by Manny Pacquiao's
boxing style, and I'm also sure Manny Pacquiao will beat McGregor easily. Even veteran boxing coach Freddie Roach predicts
McGregor will only hold out 2 rounds against Manny Pacquiao.

Of course, money is involved.

Did you see an exhibition match wherein they are not after the money? lol.

So let's not take this fight as the worst match or be against this. Good thing, Manny Pacquaio will put some of his earnings on this fight on the charity. That was the most important thing.

So let's not take this fight as the worst match or be against this. Good thing, Manny Pacquaio will put some of his earnings on this fight on the charity. That was the most important thing. I don't know about McGregor.

By the way, I would like to know what odds the bookmakers will set on the victory of Pacquiao if this fight takes place. I think any odds above 1.1 would be pretty easy money as I see a very low probability that Connor will achieve even a draw. I will watch this topic (I love easy money  ;D ).

~snip~
There's a little improvement of the odds if you'll favor Manny Pacquiao to win this fight, though not so attractive but if you like making easy money, you should go for Manny Pacquiao here, all the time.

I found the same odds when I searched on odds checker, but I think this might change and might adjust to another improvements on Pacquiao's win, as the fight might happen early next year.
And, I agree, this will be an easy money. Pacquiao is a different animal than Floyd. If McGregor gassed out in the late rounds during the Mayweather fight, for sure he'll even gas out more early when he's fighting with Pacquiao.

He would be easily gassed knowing that Pacquiao do keep continue on throwing punches unlike Mayweather which is totally different when it comes to frequency of thrown punches
which isn't really that stressing for someone to block out unlike on the fighting style of pacquiao which is totally different.

When it comes to odds, then there might be some changes but wont really be that much.We can already conclude we might see 1.1 - 1.3 max but I do still doubt.

Im surprised that there are odds given for this fight even we do see on whose the clear winner on this one.

We are seeing odds because that's gambling business.

If sportsbooks will not give any odds, how can they earn money from this lucrative fight? So even if we have the obvious winner, they need to put up those odds for the gamblers. After all, we are talking money business here, right?

If this fight is really gonna happen, then the result is already crystal clear, Manny Paquiao would win. Conor is a mixed martial artist, meaning punching is not his expertise so in a boxing match, the odds will be in Manny Paquiao surely.
...

it's better that Pacquiao co-promote the fight he has the marketing arms and a big company to make this fight big and create a big hype and of course the money parts is a big reason why Pacquiao wants to co-promote the match because Pacquiao is a businessman and he knows where the money is.

not only because he is Businessman and know where the money is but instead it is He wanted to Donate more money to the victim of covid 19.
this is the main goal why He is fighting for this and wanted to gain much money.

and besides he has the ability and the skills in doing this as he is an actor,a sportsman,a politician and a good person so promoting this fight is indeed better for Him.

There's one listed in the OP but this one which is the latest is different.

This is just crazy. Given the odds, I don't think that anyone will make a bet in favor of Manny. If you put $100, then you may get around $10 as profit. But there is always a chance of an upset. McGregor is a very talented fighter and he do have a good chance in this fight. It is up to you guys to decide whether you want to risk $100, just for $10. IMO, the risk is too high and the potential returns are too low.

More than 10% of return is not low if you are sure enough that it's a one sided fight, and it's what would really happen here, though it's just an exhibition fight, I just doubt Conor McGregor could even win one round.

It is true that our Senator, Manny Pacquiao has the upper hand when it comes to boxing but let's not forget that Conor McGregor is also known for his powerful punches and the same as Manny Pacquiao, Conor's left hand KOed a lot of fighters in the octagon. The fact that he is challenging boxers means he has the gut and he's confident with his punching power. Boxing is not his expertise but in terms of punching, Conor can answer still, I am rooting for our Senator as he has his own reason for taking this fight.

"I just doubt Conor McGregor could even win one round." I'll take that bet  ;D

Everyone has the right to challenge Manny Pacquiao, it's just that McGregor is a very lucky person because Pacquiao can accept the challenge and I believe this will be a very exciting and full of drama, at least the challenger still has the potential to beat the world champion, this is an opportunity. good for proving who is the best boxer in the world.

"I just doubt Conor McGregor could even win one round." I'll take that bet  ;D

So if i understand correctly 12,5$ profit for every 100$ bet? I think this is quite acceptable and most likely I will make this bet if the fight takes place. For the sake of fairness, I should note that the coefficient for Connor's victory is greatly underestimated, I think the fair coefficient should be approximately +700.

It would still even on considerable if it would be set out = +900. Its not underestimating but its clear as hell on who would win on this fight.To know that this would be on Boxing rules and of course boxers would have the edge or advantage plus talking about stamina then we know that Conor do have that issue.  :D

I have seen a lot of posts on this thread claiming that Conor is a MMA fighter and he stands no chance in the boxing ring. I have to disagree here. Manny Pacquiao may be the overwhelming favorite, but it is not going to be a cakewalk for him. Conor is at his prime, and he has taken part in boxing before (although it ended in defeat, against Floyd Mayweather in 2017). I would say that the risk is too great to bet in favor of Manny.

A lot's people wants this fight , next year probably is the good for them if they are planning to fight to each other.

I believe both boxers have strong strength and it is a good fight for the first month of 2021 but let see if gonna happen because of pandemic. We know the vote for this possibility to win with high chances is Manny Pacquiao because he is one of the best boxer in the history or in the world but Conor McGregor is also gold boxer so I think will good fight and many people will watch but there is still no official announcement if that is true.

But the question is,does Connor's Speed is enough to punch Manny?because though he has also a Strong punches but Pacquiao has the speed that Mcgregor might not afford to Hit.

Connor is trained in fighting that requires using his Feet and hands with Elbows,things that is forbidden in Boxing.

The fight is almost confirmed. Conor McGregor was saying that the fight will take place in the Middle East next year. There was no confirmation from Manny's team. But since this is a charity fight and the main purpose is to raise as much funds as possible for the fight against COVID 19, I would say that Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates would be the best choice.

Do we really need a fight to determine who the best boxer in the world and that too against McGregor, he had a phenomenal rise in the MMA scene and that rise is taken a beating against Khabib after all the trash talk and gassing out against Mayweather but to think that he can challenge any top boxers in the world is just foolish and if the fight is put together it is going to be an easy pay day for Manny Pacquiao.

This fight is still far from realization because one of the condition that Manny Pacquiao give to Mcgregor is that Pacman wants to be the co-promoter of this proposed fight and giving in to this request would also mean losing more money to the Pacman camp.

One more thing, AFAIK this is not a charity fight. It is only Manny Pacquiao who have said that the bulk of his income from this fight would be use to help his compatriots affected by COVID-19 in the Philippines. 

I bet yes, a match is needed not only for an intentions to determine who is the best boxer among Pacquiao and McGregor but i bet for a satisfaction of a gambler who used to put their money as a bet who among them would be win. For me it sounds uneasy knowing there are people behind the battle of the two boxer looking forward for their investment to become double or tripple whenever their bet wins but it is also a chance for a boxer to earned also a money not for themselves but for their family also. Both will become the benificiary of this game.

Yes that could be true if there will only be limited people who will attend then there's a chance that it will result to a lower profit and so the fight will not earn and might just waste their two teams efforts. It's good thing to know that Pacquiao's intention was to fight McGregor on purpose of helping his fellow countrymen.

...
That's why others see that Conor won't last against Manny. But I'm thinking that Pacquaio might just stretch the fight similar to what Floyd did, at least to give the fans some excitement and then knock him out in the later rounds.

True, whatever we said here, it will come down to how these two professional athletes will make this fight exciting, Conor McGregor struggling to the speed of one of the best boxers in this generation and the money they will be getting which Manny has a good intention for it and I don't know about Conor. I guess that is the way this match sums up.

I hope that if they this fight will be organized, it wont happen with empty tribunes. By looking on both fighters average rewards, PPV wont be enough to pay them and for organizers to earn. I dont think that PPV will be even enough to cross promotional expenses.

Yes that could be true if there will only be limited people who will attend then there's a chance that it will result to a lower profit and so the fight will not earn and might just waste their two teams efforts. It's good thing to know that Pacquiao's intention was to fight McGregor on purpose of helping his fellow countrymen.

I think it would already be considered as a big success.

If the rules of the pandemic won't change in the date of their fight and the people won't be allowed to watch the fight like they used to be, then the profit will decrease significantly. the only people can earn are those two fighters and that doesn't really matter for those who promote their fight and for the people who want this fight to happen. As long as they can watch those two fight in the ring, the profit won't really matter anymore.

As long as they can watch those two fight in the ring, the profit won't really matter anymore.

You need to remind that bulk of the PPV buys come from the United States. Floyd Mayweather is an American, and within the US his fan base is much larger than that of Conor McGregor. So I would say that Mayweather was responsible for most of this revenue inflow. You can't expect the Manny Pacquiao-Conor McGregor fight to pull in the same number of PPV buys.

You cant say so because even these fighters arent residing in US but doesnt mean that they wont really get that much support in terms of PPV. Of course, interest would really be there.
It might not be equalled nor match on Mayweather history when it comes to ppv sales but at least it will show some considerate numbers or quantities knowing that these
boxers arent just some average ones.These are "World Champions" and with that alone you can really presume out that this will generate sufficient hype and interest to drive
this to some good revenue both into its promoters and from boxers itself.

Well, be caution of this bet because things has happened before now when the underdog takes the game by surprise. The first fight between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz should be a lesson for us all when a fight is be determine. Though am not yet ready for the bet but when ready I will go for the underdog IMO.

Boxing and MMA are quite different, if it's boxing, it's Manny who will win and if it's in MMA it's obviously Mcgregor.
MMA vs boxer, not a good fight to watch but since this attracts money, good for them.

And one thing I would disagree, Pacman does not upset Thurman as he was the betting favorite in the fight.

Manny is not new in the US, ask some Americans on who is their favorite fighter, Manny or Mayweather and you'll be surprise with their answer. IF floyld were able to pull out that big money in that exhibition fight, I don't think Manny would be left behind. Also, let's put in mind that promoters aren't dump to spend money for this fight if they don't see the potential.

Less expense for them actually as they will not rent an Arena anymore if the fight happen without a crowd.

Manny is not new. But that doesn't mean that he will be able to pull the same amount of revenues that Floyd is capable of. Floyd is Floyd. No one else can match him. There is a reason why he is the richest boxer out there in the history of the sport. Manny will be able to pull a lot of revenues, but at the point it is pointless to compare him with Floyd Mayweather.

Yeah, that is true, both MMA and boxing are different sports, I think it is a good fight for me, the fight will be going to boxing and I want to see McGregor if he can win against a professional boxing player. We know that both fighters are great and can show the things we want in their different sports, that is why I am so excited for this fight, this would be a great fight.

It is just a bonus fight and the money that Manny Pacquiao can earn here will be sent to the victims of the pandemic in the Philippines.

McGregor can fight in boxing, in fact he has a license, unfortunately he doesn't have a talent in boxing, he just know how to fight but he don't know how to win. I could bet on the retired boxer to beat McGregor, Dela Hoya vs McGregor, I will still go with Dela Hoya, even Mike Tyson, lol.

Those boxers you have mentioned are professional boxers. And there's always the big gap between an MMA fighter versus a boxing professional. Yes, he can fight but inside the boxing ring, it's a different thing for him and he can't just win.

But, maybe, if he's going to focus training into boxing and making this a real thing and won't just fight for the money. There's a possibility that he can catch up with any professional boxer.

That's the right assumption there, if he will focused and try to work out with his boxing skills, he can start from the lower level of competitions.

He needs all the stamina and not just knows how to fight, the key to succeed is to be trained like how the professional boxers do.

This fight still in the favor of Manny since he's actively fighting still and the training that
he had is accurately relevant with this sports.

I bet yes, a match is needed not only for an intentions to determine who is the best boxer among Pacquiao and McGregor but i bet for a satisfaction of a gambler who used to put their money as a bet who among them would be win. For me it sounds uneasy knowing there are people behind the battle of the two boxer looking forward for their investment to become double or tripple whenever their bet wins but it is also a chance for a boxer to earned also a money not for themselves but for their family also. Both will become the benificiary of this game.

Mcgregor's strategies are for UFC, so if he does not focus on improving his skill and stamina into boxing, for sure, Manny Pacquiao will win this fight.

The only problem with Manny Pacquaio is his age if he can still fight like before to see another legend fight. And I hope Mcgregor is prepared to keep up with Pacquaio.

It would still even on considerable if it would be set out = +900. Its not underestimating but its clear as hell on who would win on this fight.To know that this would be on Boxing rules and
of course boxers would have the edge or advantage plus talking about stamina then we know that Conor do have that issue.  :D

This event will not happen, McGregor already stop talking about it under the social networks, now he is talking more about the fight he will have with Poirier, si, we can say good bye to this nice Box fix, it would really be great to see those two fighting. So, maybe we should focus on the fight that really is going to happen:

McGregor VS Poirier
https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/1311362118457978884

Oh, why sudden changed of mind? Just last month he is tweeting about it.

https://tv5.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/29970845/conor-mcgregor-tweets-going-fight-manny-pacquiao-boxing-match

Wonder why he stopped talking about this fight?
But still too early anyway, a lot can happen in between. Let's see.

If the odds are greater than +900, you can bet on both outcomes of the battle and get a guaranteed profit.

I don't get what you meant here, it's not possible in sports unless bookies are stupid enough to offer an odds on both sides that makes gamblers win regardless of the outcome, I think that's giving free money and have never happen based on my experience being a sports bettors for many years.

Wow that's a sudden shift of mind. What happened to all those hype he made to fight Pacquiao?
Is there any link to it so we could have a good read why McGregor suddenly became disinterested in fighting the opposite party when he heard their approval?
Well, he's not a pro boxer anyway. I guess he should just stick his feet and mouth to MMA.
Too bad I felt so excited how'd he adjust on Pacquiao's speed, agility, and power, though he's out of his prime, but I'm pretty sure he'll let Conor how an 8 world division champion fist tastes like. Lol

If the odds are greater than +900, you can bet on both outcomes of the battle and get a guaranteed profit. Therefore, unfortunately, we will not see such a coefficient. Or you will have to wait for such a chance when betting during the battle. This is the only chance to get such a coefficient.

This fight still in the favor of Manny since he's actively fighting still and the training that
he had is accurately relevant with this sports.

But all of it are speculations, and as we know, Conor won't be dragging himself to boxing for serious career but just doing it as it creates hype both for the MMA and boxing fans.

and maybe trying also to get His luck because we know all of these fighter has a strong punch and a single of those can bring down the opponent so chances are always there,and i know this is also what Conor thing though i don't say that he has no power to face Manny's ability but lets be real they they have different discipline in their career and this is a boxing ring in which Manny is one of the Best.

Actually, I'm for Manny for this match. I'm not saying that Conor will win this game. I'm talking about his entire career if he's going to shift from UFC/MMA to boxing. That's just a mere speculation that we're talking about.

Chance is there but we've seen him fight Floyd and the guy won. It's not even to see someone who's into a different physical career and goes shift into boxing quickly. Obviously, the majority will be for the crowd but we don't know what's in it for Conor.

I definitely look into early retirement for Connor. He faces a tough guy in MMA/UFC and really has the strength and win but I may take into him facing a tough guy in boxing, he.s just a little who is fighting for an old man. I don't think the seriously taking this fight decision or just like he wants to gain appreciation from the crowd. Because only hard/loyal fans for Conner will support him, the majority will choose Manny.

So Conor is taking that route to retire early unhurt, his health is 100% but has fat paycheck. But the problem with this kind of athlete though is that they also spent their wealth very quick. And that's why I think he needs the Pacquiao fight to maintain his lifestyle unless he has invested his money instead of buying expensive thing. Yes he has his whiskey business, but the last time I read is that it didn't go as well.

Conor McGregor is not an active fighter, he won his second belt and then went and boxed Floyd and earned around hundred million dollars and then his return to the UFC was to basically promote his whiskey. I am sure he invested in many things and he does have a media company who is following the sport and many other ventures. Even if he is not fighting anymore he will be having the revenue stream.

From the discussion.

That's what everybody thinks, Conor's for the money and fame for this match. It's rarely happening that an MMA/UFC fighter goes into boxing. But for real, it's an effective transition for him. First with Floyd and then Manny, see how his strategy works.

Raking a lot of money from the genre that he's not really with.

He was not thinking of reputation anymore, thinking solely of money that's why he is asking for this fight for the price of big money.

Just like in boxing, if you ask people who is the best fighter and compare Floyd to Manny, I believe majority would choose Manny as though he wasn't undefeated but he really gives entertainment to the fans, he wants to give you a war in the right and it's up to the opponent if they will go toe to toe against Manny, so if this fight will eventually happen, I'm just hoping Manny will knock Conor out, but it's unlikely for an exhibition fight.

Wonder why he stopped talking about this fight?
But still too early anyway, a lot can happen in between. Let's see.

The tweet sent out by Conor McGregor was Manny Pacquiao vs Conor McGregor in Saudi Arabia. The fact is these Middle Eastern countries are loyal to Khabib Nurmagomedov and the Saudi officials informed Conor McGregor to take down the tweet within an hour or face legal action and Conor McGregor took down that tweet and now wanted to divert the attention and asked for Dustin Poirier fight  ;D.

Yups His skills are not for the boxing ring though i know he knows how to box yet the rules in boxing arena will be the hard part for him to use his ability to beat Manny.

Maybe same strategy that Manny will use,because we can't deny that Conor has a power and if he reached pacquiao then for sure game set will change and favor him.

No doubt that majority will go for Manny Pacquiao,even me who has no plan in gambling this whole year because of Pandemic yet decided to Bet for manny in this one.

But conor and Floyd fight is not interesting because we Knew how Mayweather play always keeping distance in His opponent.
While Manny is a Bull type,wanted to go forward in each fight.

I think that in this fight (if it takes place) for Pacquiao there will be no need to go forward in every episode - he will easily shoot Connor from a distance. Knowing this, Connor will be forced to go forward himself and will most likely get knocked out very quickly.

But that title will not be on the line if Conor McGregor is to be Pacquiao’s next opponent – as recently confirmed by both parties. The fact Pacquiao vs. McGregor will be an exhibition and more than likely at a higher weight than 147 pounds, means the WBA title will be sitting on the shelf for that event.

Just so everyone knows how got hype in this possible fight  ;D

Manny Pacquiao vs Conor McGregor will not be for WBA welterweight title (https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2020/10/03/manny-pacquiao-mcgregor-wba-title/)


I think even if let's say this is a title fight, there's still no risk on Manny as no way Conor McGregor can win against the legendary boxer.

Strange news. This fight initially could not be a title fight, since Connor does not meet certain requirements (I don't remember exactly which one) as a boxer. The organizers of the fight for the sake of the hype could declare the fight a title fight and even hold it, but then through the court "remove the title" from this fight. If I'm not mistaken, a similar story happened with Roy Jones.

I think even if let's say this is a title fight, there's still no risk on Manny as no way Conor McGregor can win against the legendary boxer.

That would be unfair if that actually happens.

Am I the only one thinking that this for sure is an exhibition match? Other boxers are grinding their ways for that fight and every boxer would love to pick a fight to try their best grabbing a belt and Connor would easily take a shot at getting it? That is just unfair. Even though I love to see this match, if that is the case, I would be against the fight.

I think even if let's say this is a title fight, there's still no risk on Manny as no way Conor McGregor can win against the legendary boxer.

If the outcome was so certain, then what is the need for the fight? We could just declare Manny as the winner and award him the prize money. It is quite irritating to see some of the posts in this thread. I agree with most of the points, such as McGregor is more used to MMA and he lost his last boxing fight to Mayweather. But that doesn't mean that he doesn't have any chance to win this fight.

That would be unfair if that actually happens.

More on gaining money from fans same deal with how McGregor fought Mayweather, promoters are after with the potential fans who loves seeing MMA fighter another legendary boxers.

There's maybe a good show that we will see in case the fight will proceed, but I also agree that the fight will happen inside the boxing and not the MMA ring so the advantage still with Manny.

Well.. that's true. One of the reasons why the odds are so biased against Conor McGregor is due to his poor performance three years ago, when he fought against Floyd Mayweather. Back then also, the odds favored Floyd, but Conor's performance was really bad. On the other hand, Manny is in good form, especially after his win against Thurman.

Conor McGregor doesn't have a lot of head movement and low endurance in a fight, his fight with Floyd Mayweather shows where he already struggling to fight after a few rounds.

Manny Pacquiao is a really strong fighter inside the ring, fast and strong punches is going to hurt Conor McGregor, but Pacquiao is always on the attack and in the early round I think McGregor has a slight chance of winning in that early round because McGregor is really a strong fight on early. Still when it comes to boxing Pacquiao is going to win and in the octagon, McGregor is going to win.

Another marketing match ? Meh, I think I will pass this after what I've saw with McGregor vs Mayweather. This kind of matches are pure entertainment and not serious fights ...

do you think that Floyd wanted to hurt McGregord ?

If he wanted, would've been K.O in 1st 20 seconds. I'm not saying this match will not gather attention but I don't see it happen tho.

Of course and it will never be a title fight for a boxer who did not even win at least one fight in boxing, obviously this is just an exhibition fight and this is expected to be a fun fight to watch if Conor McGregor will engage by being aggressive.

The first boxing match of McGregor against Mayweather shows the weakness of McGregor that he is not a very good boxer he is more of a martial artist,  Pacquiao has been boxing for over 25 years and he is still on top of his game I don't know if McGregor will able to withstand Pacquiao assault, Manny do not like exhibition so he will take this seriously.  

Forget about his weakness as even before he fought his first professional fight in boxing against Mayweather, we already know that he is not gonna do any good especially against a boxer who is soon a hall of famer, now challenging pacquiao, this isn't really about his chance to win in the fight, but his chance to make easy money.

Easy money is always been part of Boxing when talking about MMA fighhter and a Boxer,wayback Mayweather is a known Money maker in boxing but now it is a Serious boxer like Pacquiao?

story might change.lets see it happen.

So there bout is considered to be an exhibition match where they will have a higher weight limit considering these factors I think these bout won't be recorded in their professional stats as for exhibition matches these is all about the fame and money for them and showing who is better in the ring. For the fighter who will benefit the most with the higher weight limit I think McGregor will have an edge when it comes to him having a heavier weight since Manny Pacquiao is the one having some trouble gaining some weight.

This isn't a boring fight as Manny is not a boring fighter, if you didn't saw a KO on the first fight of Conor McGregor in boxing, probably this time you will see it, so missing it is not a good idea especially if you can watch it live though.

I think this will be considered the same with McGregor's first fight in boxing, and that fight was recorded in the professional fight of Mayweather, so it will be an addition to Manny's win and will be recorded in his professional fights as a boxer.

McGregor should focus on his career and not in boxing. Boxing is not his game and he even wants to challenge the best boxer in the world? How he think he could win?

I think he is only after the money. No chance that he can knock down Manny and beat him. However, if he really has the intention to win in this match then he shoul be making physical conditioning as early as possible to catch up with Manny in terms physical abilities.

Do you remember the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor fight of 2017? McGregor reportedly received $130 million for the fight. That is almost $4 million for every minute of the fight. So what do you think? Are you saying that McGregor should have refused this opportunity, saying that he is not interested in boxing? Boxing and MMA are just professions. In the end, money matters a lot.

Let me just add to this:

As much as we hated the Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao fight, we cannot deny the fact that both of them made hundreds of millions of dollars in that match alone. At the end of the day, it really boils down to the business discussed between the fighters. All of their gimmicks and rivalries are part of their campaign in order to hype the fight and gather as much audience as possible to increase their winnings.

Still, a fight between McGregor and Pacquiao may sound ridiculous at first but let us all be honest that we will still be looking forward to see them fighting on the ring. I hope this fight materializes in the near future and see the people's champ back at the ring again!

I received a notification from this today and it sounds like this match is going to turn into a reality.

I think McGregor is going to fight and defeat the Legendary Pacquaio because he is more focused now on being President in his county (Philippians) then training for a fight with someone so dangerous like McGregor.

It will turn into reality but what you said that Manny will be defeated that's still a speculation. Well, good for McGregor to defeat PacMan, yeah, he got the height and the reach but will that match to Pacman's quickness? I doubt that.

By the way, there's no Philippians country it's Philippines and what you said he's in focus on being a President that's hilarious, there's a rumor about that but I don't think Pacquiao will ever make that decision even when the election comes nearing.

So funny to see some speculation about McGregor beating up Pacquiao since if we talk about experience for sure McGregor will be a tiny piece for him and as you said base on physical statistics as well on capabilities for sure McGregor will be short for that matters.

And also I don't think Pacquiao will run for presidency for year 2022 since most provably he will support the candidacy of their allied. Also Pacquiao is always prepared whenever he have a fight, so for sure it will be a tough day for McGregor if he meet Pacquiao in the canvass.

Well, it's a different fight for Pacquaio, we all know that politics is dirty in the Philippines so we don't know if he is willing to get himself involved, specially the office that he is going to run is the highest. And this fight is more of a joke actually, and we all know that they are just trying to raise money, but McGregor will surely do get another huge paycheck.

Obviously Manny Pacquiao is the most famous athlete from the Philippines. But I am not sure whether politics is the suitable field for him. He is already a senator and I think his approval ratings are satisfactory. But to go any higher, he needs political experience. If you remember, Vitali Klitschko of Ukraine also entered politics after his retirement from boxing. Although he is not doing that bad as the Mayor of Kyiv, I am not sure whether he is 100% happy now.

There's no problem with experience but being a politics as he has that, however what more important is the knowledge, as for me, there are more smart people than him that is deserving in the higher position as next to senator is vp or president which main job is running the country.

You're right! Not to discriminate but on such position it does really need for someone who do really had the intellect and passion on such position because running or handling a country doesnt really
just rely on sympathy and understanding of its citizen but rather you would really need that knowledge on how to make things on organized manner and doing things which would really be good or for the
benefit of your country.Its better to focus on his current political position while he's still not retired on his boxing career.When it comes to training then theyre not really that careless on that one
specially if fight is upcoming then its anticipated that they would really be prepared.Some said that he's already not on good condition due to his political job but he had prove out that
he do still had that firepower.

Just to bump this and I find it something funny but I think McGregor should do this trick so that Pacquiao may not find any opening on him LOL! https://www.facebook.com/Koreanvideovlog/videos/730845957786409/

Though still a long way for a fight since it's been pushed through until first half of 2021 but I'm that excited again for the upcoming fight of PacMan.

I think it has been moved since McGregor wants a rematch with Dustin Poirier and I've been reading his tweets looks like it will still be a long way to go before we see the fight between them (PacMan vs. The Notorious). I think it's for best to lock the thread until the fight is nearing, never read some news lately and I miss it has already been extended and it looks like McGregor is really an enigma where he would really want to be if it's on UFC or on boxing.

Probably it's because of the Khabib's retirement and that's why he chooses to not pursue a fight with Pacman and settled for a 2021 clash with Poirier since obviously the title is now vacated.

But I agree with @stadus to keep this thread open, so that if there's new development and someone wanted to update us, he can simply go here specially if Pacman decided to really accept this fight.

I see, thanks for the heads up but if I were to the OP he should update the thread/title of the thread especially that the fight has been extended, so that people will be aware but I think it's best if there's a thread for Poirier vs. McGregor too.

Was the fight really scheduled? By saying it's extended this means there was a prior date of this fight already, but it seems for me, this is just an speculation from fans on both sides.

Well I guess, it will be a long while before we can have any updates about this fight. I recommend to keep this open and constantly update to prevent people from creating a whole new thread which in my opinion is only a waste of resources. Right now the boxer is being a politician and is busy doing his tasks as a senator. So definitely this will be a thing but for the next year. So until then, just give comment and then tell others not to make similar threads.

However, not this time maybe as there's a lot more important things to do than this fight, and during the pandemic there was no crowd, so less money.

I guess they are targeting next week because they believe the pandemic will be over by next week, only vaccine is the answer here, if there's a vaccine already, people will be free to watch this game live and that could bring a good revenue for this fight, another easy $100 million in my estimate.

Though still a long way for a fight since it's been pushed through until first half of 2021 but I'm that excited again for the upcoming fight of PacMan.

With this kind of fight, they badly needed PPV just like what's the outcome of the Mayweather-McGregor fight wherein they generated $600M on that and I guess this anticipated fight between PacMan and The Notorious will do the same but I am not expecting it will be that huge until the situation goes better.

To be honest with you, Pacman and McGregor fight will never generate the funds as McGregor fight with Mayweather Jr and Mayweather himself also confirmed it. Besides, he said his fight with McGregor was a bank robbery due to the money he bagged through the fight but if McGregor and Pacman create some kind of hype conversation before the fight, it may gain the attention of boxing fans.

Yeah, it's very different, fans buy tickets that time to see Floyd and hope that he will lost, while for Pacquiao, fans are going to watch because they wanted to see him whoop McGregor's ass. But it can generate close to Floyd's number though, but I don't think Pacquiao can surpass the numbers in terms of PPV and live gates generated. So this fight will have to wait, till the pandemic is over or at least fight fans can watch in live.

Close? how close, if I'm not mistaken based on what I read here, the Mayweather vs Conor McGregor generated $600 million, more or less, I don't think this fight would generate at least $500 million, to say it close.

For what I've seen Pacquiao will fight McGregor for charity I think he would donate it to Covid-19 victims.
Which I think is a good act wherein he will be fighting to allocate funds just to help others but still it would be interesting to watch how legendary boxer will fight a MMA professional McGregor.

ya.ya.yo!

By the way, there's no Philippians country it's Philippines and what you said he's in focus on being a President that's hilarious, there's a rumor about that but I don't think Pacquiao will ever make that decision even when the election comes nearing.

Manny's net worth according to https://www.sportekz.com/boxing/manny-pacquiao-net-worth/ is $375 Million, so if they will make $500 in this fight and Manny will get a bigger slice of the cake, that's bigger than what he made during his fight against Mayweather.

For everyone's information, Manny made $150 million during his fight with Mayweather and that fight generated almost the same amount Mayweather vs McGregor fight generated. In short, Mayweather here is the one bringing money to the fight and we can see that in his previous fights.

There's still no guaranty that the fight will push through Connor is just all talks here, there was no official announcement on the camp of Manny Pacquiao but knowing both fighters they want this to push through for entertainment but we all know who's going to win if the format is boxing.

Who knows that maybe one day this dream match will come true, Just like the Mcgregor and Mayweather fight but one thing that’s really sure its just for the money. The world already witnessed how great they are in there passion, there’s nothing to prove between both of them.

Definitely, the promoters of this match will only be after for the money, even the fighter themselves will allocate the money received as per their own agendas. They are popular at their own sport but fighting inside the ring using the rule of boxing is somehow unfair to one fighter. So yeah, this is just for the money and fame, nothing more.

There is not much hype for Pacquiao. No thrashtalk for this guy so this fight is close to never happening at all.

Crazy numbers. But maybe due to the fact that the audience is starving for the spectacle (due to the covid epidemic and the ensuing recession in the entertainment industry) they will receive this money. I'd love to watch Connor get beaten, but in fact, such show-fight fees are disrespectful to athletes who fight in normal battles for normal titles but get much less.

Boxing matches nowadays are different from glorious matches from the past, boxing is now slowly taking different path. Will not argue with that fans will still love to see this wild fight it gives them more excitement in different level.

If Conor McGregor gets beaten again he will find excuses on how he lost the fight, injury, lack of motivation and so on. He was hyped and jumped to boxing and fought just for the spectacle and the big money and he earned that. If Conor wanted to fight Manny he needs to convince Dana White first and i do not think they are in good terms after the DM leak by Conor.

For the sake of money, they will change it

Boxing is really part of the big entertainment industry, so don't be surprise if the path is different.
 
Like this one.

WHO WOULD EXPECT THAT FROM ONE OF THE HALL OF FAMER?

I think no excuses will work anymore. In fact, Conor is a waste material for both UFC and boxing. I think he is well aware of this, so he is only trying to make as much money as possible while he is interesting to at least someone. I wonder in what area he will work after he finally retires from the fighting.

Lol, it was really Floyd who started this all, first he fought a Wrestler, then a UFC fighter and all of that brings money to him.

Easy money for him but it's not possible for him if fans didn't love it, so it could be different in today's era but fans supports what they love, that's why.

You guys need to show some respect to Conor. He has a terrific MMA track record. He has 22 wins from 26 fights to his name. It is true that he lost against Floyd in 2017, but then boxing is not his core domain. He was brave enough to accept a challenge outside his core domain. Will Manny or Floyd do something like this? Floyd previously tried his luck with WrestleMania, but he never participated in MMA.

I think it's the other and it's the match that's no hype or it's just because that we're still in the pandemic and that's why the match is still unknown if it will continue.

I'd like to see this fight so Conor will just stop boxing with the pro and just stay on his craft.

They've seen maybe that the pandemic affects both viewers and gamblers to bite with this fight so they ain't pushing it that much, they are looking for more money.

If fans will not talk about this then there's no money around, knowing that this is just for entrainment, can't pushed it without big money.

In some circumstances there are people who will continue to wait for this call, if the
announcement of the dates fight will be push, we don't anything but to wait.

Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao confirmed he will fight two-time UFC champion Conor McGregor next year.

Pacquiao's aide, Jayke Joson, released a statement saying the bout will take place, with part of the fighter's earnings going to COVID-19 relief in the Philippines.

"For the sake of all the Filipino Covid-19 victims, Senator Manny Pacquiao will be fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor next year," Joson said, per ESPN Ringside. "The huge portion of his earnings will proceed to those who are affected nationwide by the pandemic."

According to some news I have read, the Manny Pacquiao vs Conor McGregor battle will be held early January 2021 in the Middle East.
There is no official news yet, but I believe many boxing fans are looking forward to this fight. Although this battle was only entertainment,
not a title race, but very interesting to watch. Moreover, Manny Pacquiao has very many fans from all over the world, should this fight be hype.
Let's just wait for updates regarding this fight.

Let's just wait for updates regarding this fight.

I know many are saying it is entertainment and has no title to fight with. But this is like some sort of what if scenario that started when Mcgregor fought Mayweather a few years ago. I would even be impressed if this match is some sort of charity event that would benefit some charities and they will help those in need, then I am all eyes and ears on this exciting match. Many are trying their best to stay sane and composed this time of pandemic but watching them fight would be a good morale booster for many in the form of boxing entertainment.

I agreed to the part you’ve said that this fight would be more interesting to watch if it’s a charity event. Could’ve  been both parties would do that and lot’s of boxing supporters and even those not would be interested watching this fight as it is being showcase for charity. Well, Manny Pacquiao cleary stated it in the first place that every penny he’ll get from this fight should be given to all affected of amidst coronavirus pandemic.

There's so much money involved in UFC, retirement are just stunt for many. People would love Pacquiao and McGregor fight and it would happen soon after it aggregates more interest. UFC is a professional event with large costs involved. All of those fighters have a lavish lifestyle.

They can't just charity every of those tournaments. And with charity tournament, I feel there not much dedication for the fight among the fighters as well as they'll be getting less for a win.

I meant to say, Pacquiao accepted the fight as the current situation in Philippines fighting the coronavirus pandemic will help the country as we all know that the last match Mayweather earned roughly $275 million and $100 million in total for McGregor.

This amount is too huge given the current situation, and that fight between Conor and Floyd, there was a gate entrance, at the current situation, it's not possible, so the number will certainly go down, at least we should not expect that high, but it's still money.

Gate collection is always secondary. Most of the revenue comes from PPV buys and sponsorship. And since fans are hungry for live action, I would expect the revenue from PPV buys to go up. It may not reach the figure they had during the Floyd vs Conor fight (since the fight involves two non-Americans), but we can expect total revenue upwards of $250 million (with most of it coming from North America and the European Union).

Both Conor and Manny have signed the deal with Paradigm Sports, but the dates and venue are not finalized. There are rumors that the fight will occur in Saudi Arabia, but none of the sides have confirmed this. There is a large Filipino diaspora in Saudi Arabia and the neighboring regions, and the organizers may be keeping this in mind (along with the low tax rates).

Yeah right, there are considerations but still ain't being confirmed.

Both camps are with Paradigm Sport and it won't be hard to set this one out just making sure that promoters won't lose their money if they will push the fight. Considering that pandemic still there and fans and gamblers are having difficulty from this current situations.
Once it's been finalized announcement will take place every information will be shared for now we have to wait.

Just seen this.

https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/boxing/762211/pacquiao-vs-mcgregor-won-t-be-as-big-says-floyd-mayweather/story/

Floyd Mayweather stated that the event will not be a big event without the involvement of Floyd Mayweather.

Do you think this fight can beat the 2nd highest selling PPV which is Conor vs Floyd?

Just seen this.

https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/boxing/762211/pacquiao-vs-mcgregor-won-t-be-as-big-says-floyd-mayweather/story/

Floyd Mayweather stated that the event will not be a big event without the involvement of Floyd Mayweather.

Do you think this fight can beat the 2nd highest selling PPV which is Conor vs Floyd?

There was a reason why the Floyd vs Conor fight could attract so much revenue ($600 million). Floyd was at his peak, and at that time Conor was also getting hyped in the MMA market. But the revenue distribution shows who is the boss. Floyd ended up with a paycheck of $275 million, while Conor received $100 million. So Floyd is right there. Neither Manny, not Conor can match his revenue generation power.

Is there any final date of their fight?

Floyd seem right, he is really popular, and anytime he fight he makes big money, we can't deny that.
In fact, Manny would not make the biggest payday of his career as a boxer if Floyd does not fight him, same goes with Floyd but this guy has been making big money already before he fought Manny. His name was even change from Pretty Floyd to "Money", because he literally makes money.

Manny Pacquiao said that the fight will happen but as far as I know, there is still no date announced as they only say it will happen next year. The money Pacquiao will be given to the people affected by the pandemic in our country, so we are hoping that Manny could win this fight, well I know he will win. I am confident that he will since this might be a deciding factor for Floyd to accept a rematch.

This made me happy as he really have the heart to help the poor, he is a real hero of the Filipino though there are people who criticize him being a politician. The fight if it will be realize will give both fighters a good amount of paycheck, so no one would resist this fight and this is not just an exhibition fight, it's a professional fight that record will be added to player's fight history.

Yeah, I guess that would be the reason why there are some people that don't want this fight to happen. Manny Pacquiao also wanted the money but in a good way, Connor, on the other hand, might all be in the money he will be getting in this fight. So, I guess even without a good match each side would get the money they wanted.

I have heard reports about Manny Pacquiao helping the poor people and so is the reason he is still fighting at his 41 years of age when he would have retired and hopefully Conor McGregor could be a good fight because it is easy pay day for him in his mind and could make multiple millions extra than fighting a tough boxer  ;).

Hope all the Filipino users are safe as i heard about the disaster.

even though its clear as the sky on whose gonna win on this fight.Both boxers would have their paycheck and what ever on what are the thing they would gonna do into their money then its none of our business.Just make this fight happen and we as fans will really be grateful if ever this one will happen.

Don't think about the money since both of them deserve that we should enjoy the match since this fight is not the normal fight we can see every month since this is different although Pacquiao got the advantage but still for sure many people want to see if how long the bout last and if he really can beat McGregor easily since if not and Pacquiao struggle for sure mayweather will dead laughing at him.

~
He had been helping his fellow countrymen ever since even if theres no fight he do still make out some charitable works which really makes him a good man.

The only reason this fight might not happen is because Conor McGregor is contracted with the UFC and he needs their permission to fight anyone else.

Dana White expressed his plans about creating his own boxing promotion and he might inaugurate it once again by having Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor but for that to happen things should go back to normal and they should be allowed to have fans in the arena.

Wow, didn't know that, I think that would be great if he will make his own promotion as that means the boxing world will be more popular with popular promoters getting in, actually this is just about the money, I doubt Dana White would not allow McGregor when he allowed him to fight against Mayweather before and this is not a UFC fight, it's a boxing fight and McGregor is a license boxer.

That would be great as this guy will open some opportunities for other boxers who wanted to be their Idols. now that we have another big-time promoter coming, those boxers who are not yet signed with some promoters will be excited and looking for this opportunity that maybe they will gonna signed with Dana's boxing promotion.

Any update Guys when this fight will be Held?surely not happening this year right?

I'm so eager to see my money doubled thinking that Manny Pacquiao will Win on this fight.

and another amount from my friend if the deal happens before the fight,Though i am confident that this will be in details to happen either this year or next.

I have seen some documentaries regarding his career and hence i am aware of this, he is a good person who loves to take care of everyone who is under privileged and i am a big fan of Manny as a boxer and i like his story and if he can get his biggest pay check fighting Conor McGregor let him have his share of the pie.

He deserves on what he had worked hard for and its just people are way too judgmental when it comes to those funds that had been earned on legal way.
Its up to him on what he gonna do but there are people who do judge that he had jumped into exhibition just for the sake of earning money.

Its clear that its one of his reasons which is to help people and that what  matter most.Setting it aside when it comes to pride because boxers have their
own will and as mentioned that Manny is a good man, neither he do earn or not from an exhibition match, he do still make these charitable works without any hesitation.

I have heard reports about Manny Pacquiao helping the poor people and so is the reason he is still fighting at his 41 years of age when he would have retired and hopefully Conor McGregor could be a good fight because it is easy pay day for him in his mind and could make multiple millions extra than fighting a tough boxer  ;).

Hope all the Filipino users are safe as i heard about the disaster.

Yes Manny Pacquiao is helping people and Im very thankful for that because we have him who help . He is not a boxer only because he is also a senador to my country and I would say money is not the reasons also why they did not fight because also he wants gives another enjoyment to my fellowship Filipino people because many here are watching when Manny have a fight because we know his ability when he fight.

No update yet. Speculations are telling that by next year but that's still a rumor. On the other hand, we got Floyd having a side comment.

It is true that he lost against Floyd in 2017, but then boxing is not his core domain. He was brave enough to accept a challenge outside his core domain. Will Manny or Floyd do something like this? Floyd previously tried his luck with WrestleMania, but he never participated in MMA.

I don't think the statistics of fights 22-26 are special. For aspiring boxers heading for the most important fights, a 20-0 stat is common. 22-26 doesn't look like legendary. As an athlete, Conor is good, but unfortunately he will be remembered more for sports scandals and kitsch than for his sports results.

Mayweather his right, the idea was originated by him so he got the people to interest the fight, and people who have already watch the Mayweather vs Conor fight might not be interested in this fight as they have already seen what's going to happen.

Conor will just be a punching bag for this legendary fighters, maybe if Manny will fight him, he will just play him so the game would last but Conor does not really have a chance here.

Conor has no win on his professional boxing, but he get big fights due to this popularity, if I'm not mistaken, he first fight was only Mayweather, the best in boxing in his time and now he likes to face Manny. Look, he has no intention to win, all he will do in the ring is just to survive and avoid not getting hurt, then he will enjoy the big reward.

You may have a point on that mate, just like what happened to timothy bradley if you remember, where Bradley's did only was avoid Manny's
attack until the last round round ended up, so this will possible to happen again via Conor, it could also be that Conor is only after for popularity to connect His name to those boxer who are popular in boxing career only, am I right?

Mayweather his right, the idea was originated by him so he got the people to interest the fight, and people who have already watch the Mayweather vs Conor fight might not be interested in this fight as they have already seen what's going to happen.

Honestly, Conor here is not a boxer, he only fight to get easy money

If you think this will be easy money for Conor, you are wrong. The gap between Pacquaio and Conor is so wide and expect that the distribution of expected revenue of this fight might be 70/30 Pacquaio. That's why Conor is cross-switching as if ever he beats Pacquaio, his value will increase and he might end up doing an exhibition match instead since no need for a cage match as he will gain more revenue in an exhibition match.

Fighting Pacquaio will be his opportunity to make that happen so I don't expect easy money for Connor here as he is gambling his career.

That record is not easy to achieve, Conor McGregor just know the trick on how to make himself popular.

Even Manny Pacquiao, he does not have an undefeated record but he is one of the most popular boxer in the sports of boxing, we can ask people whom they think is better, Pacquiao or Mayweather and we know the answer is very obvious.

But why are you mixing popularity and athletic performance? I respect both of them in Conor, but he is not great either there or there. Time will pass and another show-man will repeat the same tricks. There is demand and there will be supply, people are willing to pay for the show.
