Conor McGregor vs Manny Pacquiao

[kotajikikox]

i think this thread is enough and should be locked because Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor will never face each other in boxing ring.

not unless exhibition games only so there might be some other decision to make from Manny's side because if serious fight Pacquiao will never face this inside the ring as he may come comedian

Being a Senator is still Manny's priority, so we will have to wait and see.

Exactly, he needs to focus on his job now because he might run for President soon, who knows, he all have the money to do that.
And if he will take the fight against Conor, that would be an additional for his funds in case he really plan to run in a higher position in the future.

Being a politician is just a partime job for manny, he is the senator who has the most absent and tardiness of all. Boxing is still is #1 priority this is where most money is being made

[Fundamentals Of]

And they ended up frustrating the fans just the same, right? That is because the match was not really a decent one to start with. It should not have been made in the first place.

none of fans either party expect this to be done so there is no frustrating that happens because people now are not that stupid to believe this will happen to reality,though maybe there are some who might wanted to be true but majority ,specially Pacquiao's fans that wont trust this news instead they believe it is just a Joke(i am one of those)

With Manny, this fight would not be boring, no fights of Manny I find it boring, especialyl if the opponent is also engaging, unlike Mayweather who does not totally take a risk of knocking out his opponent, probably if this fight happens, it could possibly end up a KO win by Manny.

I don't know about that McGregor can take a punch pretty well, I don't see a simple easy KO happening with either of these fighters. I think Manny would have the advantage but maybe his training has gone down since he's been a senator and not much of a boxer anymore.

Manny has loosened a bit in terms of speed and punch volumes and even strength but still has got it. Conor can take punches but that is the downside of it all. He'll end up with bruises and swelling and cuts with this match unlike his previous one with Mayweather. If this funny fight turns into a reality, he better be knocked out.

That's because he is already aging, but in his last fight he beat a young and undefeated fighter.

I don't know if he can take punches from Pacman, he hasn't knock out an opponent lately and I would be happy to witness it in this fight.
Manny should win easy.

That's understandable tho. But if you will compare him to the others with the same age, you will find him amazing. Maybe you might also wonder why he still got a stamina and power of a horse despite of his age .

Well, I think Conor can take punches from Manny there's no doubt about it because boxing gloves are thicker than MMA and besides he can also take elbows, knees and hammer fists from UFC so punches won't be a problem for him. What I'm worrying about is his cardio. No offense but I doubt he can't stand all 12 rounds lol .

Right, to be honest I think that Manny Pacquaio is really doing good as Senator of the Philippines so I won't be surprised that people are going to clamour for him to run for a higher position - the Presidency.

Well for sure the Conor fight will bring him more money and all that stuff and yeah, running for a President needs a lot of funds and you really need to have a deep pocket. So the possibility of him and Conor facing each other are great, its just a matter of schedule I guess.

Manny is not as smart as we think but him running for president using his own money will make the country Philippines a good country.
Why did I say that? simple, because he has no one who can control him, other politics need financiers so when they win, they will have to serve the interest of their financiers instead of the interest of the people.

The only reason why I want this fight to happen is that I want to see Conor schooled once again inside the boxing ring. I want him to face an opponent strong enough to bring him into the realization that he doesn't have the boxing skills of these pro boxers. If he'll be KOed, the better. Pacquiao or Crawford could bring him that realization hopefully. And this will also make the fans realize the limits of their fighter.

Conor should've learned from that fight with Floyd, that he doesn't fit the standard to fight top ranked boxers. Look how he gassed out on the later rounds causing his punches to lost power. If he (Connor) could boost his stamina to stand in the ring with consistent punching power, then I can say he's got a mad combat skills.
Manny, on the other hand was a beast standing 12 rounds while his punching power gradually become stronger in every rounds.

This the difference between an MMA fighter and a Boxer when it comes to stamina where they do really differ but if a boxer would
fight on a MMA arena then for sure he wont still have an assurance to win yet we know that all limbs are being used on a MMA fight.
So this thing is also applicable on both sides on what would be the rules either mma or boxing rules would really have its own advantage.

He'd be learning a good lesson once Manny beat him with several punches which will change his entire world. I am eager to witness their fight on the ring, but don't when will be the exact date to commence for a schedule since there was no official statements coming from their promotion. I guess the negotiation was still on process, so let's wait for any further updates.

@Oasisman
Every fight will be different, in a normal situation Conor McGregor would not be allowed to debut against one of the elite boxers ever in history and he did simply because of his drawing power and skills as a good counter puncher and so was the reason the interesting element was whether a retired Mayweather could still handle a young hard puncher and we saw Floyd did what he did throughout his career take the fight deep and he knocked him out because the conditioning issues of McGregor is well known and Floyd played the safe game as always but Manny is an aggressive fighter and it will be an entirely different fight .

[Natalim]

Conor should've learned from that fight with Floyd, that he doesn't fit the standard to fight top ranked boxers.

Maybe it's us the fans should learn that an MMA fighter can't win against a legendary boxers, and now he is trying to convince Pacman to fight just for money, I am sure Conor have learn in the first fight but he is willing to make mistakes again, just for the same big price he enjoyed in their fight with Mayweather.

Fans will always complain after the fight when they feel they don't get the value of their money, but they usually easily get hype also.
When I think of Mayweather, the word that comes in my mind is "boring", but this is not him against Conor part 2, so it should not be a boring fight.

I like to see how this cocky MMA fighter try hard against Manny, I hope he can still stand if he is hit by Manny's straight left hand.

Of course we know that a MMA fighter can't win against a boxer, not unless the MMA fighter has a good stand up skills with the level of Conor and fight some B-side boxer, but it won't happen because we all know that he won't simply fight someone. He is looking for big money fights like Mayweather prior and then Pacquiao  next.

So it's really up to Manny to accept the challenge or not. Manny will be different though, he is aggressive even at his age so I don't know if Conor can last at least 6-10 rounds with Pacquiao and not getting knock out.

He really love the attentions that he's getting plus the big bucks that surround this business, if fans agree to this by showing interest it will be easy
for both part to discuss the possible shared to receive after the fight was ended. McGregor  have a big chance to win if they will fight with MMA rules
but in terms of boxing rules he only got slim chances to win against the legendary PacMan.

Basing on punch power then Pacquiao had much more compared to Mayweather and i would like to see on how he would deal or bear with that.
Seeing these kind of fights are boring but when people do gets hype then they do consider it out since it would be entertaining on how a mma fighter
would be beaten down by a boxer.Practically, if there were lines to be offered on this one then for sure 100% sold on Pacquiaos side.

There's still a chance but it will take a lot of time. Just like the last match of Pacquiao with Thurman, the guy knows how to market the match and this what shall be done by Conor if the agreement is settled and this fight will continue.

This sure will be an exhibition match but probably a higher bit than that. Transition from MMA to pure boxing, we have seen how Conor performed against Floyd and we know that Floyd and Pacquiao are both the greatest boxers of this time. Maybe Conor's trying to prove something or he just know how to market himself.

Well we can said that as well to Mayweather-Conor thread before. Lots of arguments back then that the fight will not happen, but at the end of the end of the day, and to everyone surprised, the fight was made and we all know what how everything ended up.

I know that the Pacman spoke about not wanting to have any exhibition fights, but we will see, when there huge money in the line, maybe he will change his mind.

That's what I like him in the early rounds because he's a good counter puncher and can dance with Floyd and I thought he'd really deserves to fight elite boxers. Not until the later rounds that he literally and obviously ran out gas. I thought he was ready, but no, I bet he didn't had expected  that outcome.
Anyway, as far as the speculations about this circulating in the internet is concerned, It seems that this fight is still far from happening?

[Kasabus]

Money can change his decision and this fight is already guaranteed with a huge price for both.
Both boxers are still hot, they are coming from an impressive wins so sure fans would still want to see them, this could probably be bigger than the last exhibition fight of Conor so he is pushing it, this kind of situation is good since Manny is not hard to convince.

soon Manny's decision will make the people who are waiting this to be realize happy.
