Conor McGregor vs Manny Pacquiao

[SaShiRaJaVu]

I you are looking for a good fight then Conor needs to fight someone who is coming up in the sport of boxing and not someone who is established and at the top of the game. I am sure Manny will school him and if Conor wants his stock to rise in boxing he needs a win and not starting a career with two losses.

There is a difference in approach between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Manny is aggressive in his approach and Conor McGregor is a really good counter puncher and the problem he had with Mayweather is that he was not able to find the trigger as he was looking for that counter punch and he never got that and then he gassed out. So it will be an interesting fight if it happens as i still believe style makes fight.

I just read this news, and it looks similar to KSI vs Logan Paul, aka stupid match!

Conor is not a boxer, and when he faced with a proper boxer, he will do the "gay clinch" just like what he did to Mayweather. I think he no longer dominates UFC (lost to Khabib), so he needs an easy paycheck. That's why he starts fighting washed-up boxers.

Well, if this match really happens, I'll still think Manny will win, simply because he was a great boxer.

No doubt on that and Manny pacquiao would surely win in the match.For sure there would be no bookies would offer this line yet its obvious on who would be the favorite.
We can really compare the capacities of a mma fighter to a real boxing warrior.We have seen on how McGregor perform when he boxed against Mayweather
and the result was just too obvious that he cant really able to match up.If mayweather is good in running and evading then how he would handle a fighter that
do love to box or belt to belt style?

[South Park]

That would be an easy win for Manny if the fight will be in boxing rules or easy win for Connor if that would be in the octagon. Both fighters have different fighting styles and stamina because of their sports. I think this match will be just for money, and the results will be too predictable.

Personally, I'm not a fan of this kind of fight, this is just for money, but the fight will be boring to watch because the results are pretty easy to predict.

I am not a fan of those fights either, the result is obvious even if Manny is no longer in his prime he is still one of the best boxers in history and he is not going to be easily defeated by anyone especially someone that does not really have a lot of experience in the boxing world.

Without a doubt if it happened I will see it since I love to watch Manny fight and there will be a lot of money involved for both fighters so it will be a good business decision for both of them, but the result of the fight is completely predictable.

I have read the majority opinion regarding this match on social media and it seems that most of them are going for Manny. It's an obvious mismatch for an UFC fighter to fight against a living legend and still a strong pound for pound boxer with a lot of belts from different divisions.

Whatver reason Conor had for doing this kind of match, he did this for his own sake and gain. We understand that boxing isn't for him but if this is what he wants and if Manny allows him to fight him, we'll see how a teacher will teach a kid.

It will also be interesting how much money can be generated in this fight.

We all know that Floyd vs Conor generated tons of money, I'm sure at some point there will be some comparisons about it. The fight depends on Pacquiao though, is Manny willing to put his legacy on the line here?

I mean, why not?

Pacquiao would be interested in this fight. Not just because of the money but also the fact that McGregor fought with Floyd and saying that he has a high possibility of winning on this match. The proof that he's holding right now is that he said that he has a lot of hits than Pacquiao did with Mayweather. That is in the past so we do not know what will happen now if Pacman and the Golden Boy face again.

But in terms of boxing, Pacquiao will really dominate Conor because boxers have a wider span of stamina rather than UFC fighters. It was proven in Mayweather vs. McGregor, Conor was already tired that's why Mayweather seize the opportunity to beat his ass up. Same in Pacquiao vs. McGregor, you really think that he will win? In terms of UFC fight, maybe but it is about boxing. Manny Pacquiao is already a legendary boxer and how can you think that Conor will win. On the other hand, no matter what's the result, it is all about money.

Manny Pacquiao is all for the entertainment. I don't see any reason why he will refuse this match. Pacquiao already has millions and owns businesses, he might not have to fight but for entertainment I guess he will. The man doesn't care whether he lose or not. But Mcgregor really wants to have more money before retiring.

It's simply for entertainment and nothing else, if this event will materialize then both fighters will recieved decent payments from the organizers. Knowing both are not getting any younger the chance that it will happen is really high. Especially if more fans will be encouraged to push it and call for this match, no one knows what will happen next.

[Quidat]

This is something that is not everyday i read that is kind of weird news in gambling. I have a doubt that Conor would have a chance to win over to an 8-times world champion even if you guys day Conor is younger than Pacquiao. The fact that Conor is always out of stamina in a boxing fight will be his weakness. Conor may be good at offense but he's not that good in defense and that is also his weakness.

For me, it's better that Manny refuse to fight McGregor if he doesn't want to be a laughing stock by media and people around the world. I mean, there is no chance that McGregor will win against Manny and it will be like a comedy above the ring. Also this fight will not generate large amount of money even if they promote it roughly.

It will. Manny alone could make a fight generates huge amount of paychecks. Bringing this speculations up to the media is testing the waters. We all knew this Connor dude is obviously chasing for huge money, he stands no chance to a professional boxer. His body wasn't trained to stand 12 rounds in the ring. He will definitely gas out.
Market strategy here is to keep Connor talking shit to media against Manny, while Manny will let his fist do the talking just like the usual.
This match could still generate huge amount of money even if this is obviously a business match.

Mcgregor is not a boxer but I’m sure he learned a lot from his fight before to Mayweather and hopefully this will be a good fight if ever because Manny is a real one and he won’t end the game without a fight. Though I’m still thinking about a fight for money just like before since Manny is a great boxer well this fight should be more serious for Manny considering his Age.

The bottomline of course of this match is about the money. But yes it is true, McGregor and Pacquiao will give a better fight in the ring as they will really give what they've got. Unlike Mayweather, which is always playing safe, counting technicals and others. And if this will happen, I think boxing fans will still watch this fight with enthusiasm.

I believe that Manny could give an exciting play but I doubt how McGregor could give. McGregor is old already and he even doesn't show the best fights for many years and he asks Manny for a fight? I don't think that Manny will give him a fight but rather to pick one that it looks exciting for him.
I also bet that this will never happen...

Of course! Because I can't see any reasons why they are thinking about this idea except for money (What's happening in the sports industry nowadays *sigh). But the real question is Manny will agree on the deal? Yeah we all know that he is a "Yes Man" when it comes to any fight but this one is very different thing. I don't think he will not fight a fighter without a pro boxing career just for money.

[Reatim]

is this another joke?McGregor is not a Boxer and he dont even know how to  Punch liek a Boxer,we have seen and prove this against MayWeather and what can we expect form this fight again?

i wish Pacquiao wont let His reputation ruined by this man ,and will be labeled Fighting for Money Cause because he is one of the most trusted Boxer that fought for dignity and country sake.if there are already  talk hoping Manny's camp will reconsider this one.

This is how greed for money for both people handing this two fighter if this match will become real its too obvious that this game is only for money unless they are doing this for a charitable purposes, matching two players with different skills and sports is a shame. 

you got the truth behind this mate because i am sure if only Manny Pacquiao will decide decide about this?he will deny and not give consent in this Joke Promotion,because he would rather Find a legit boxer that will give him real fight than this Octagon Fighter that will surely give comedy over the Boxing ring.

Manny Pacquiao is all for the entertainment.

i disagree on this mate because Not like Mayweather and this McGregor who fights for Money,Pacquiao is fighting for Dignity and the Name of his Country.

I think he can think if a reason to fight and at the same time help his people. If this will continue, Manny can look at this fight as an exhibition match and the percentage of his earnings can go to the people who are affected by the eruption of Taal in Batangas in our country. It is for money but it is for the better of his people.

[bering]

For me no wonder it's all about the money and probably his latest match against Myweather make a lot of money so he made this statements until hoping there was promoters are willing to held this match because probably he doesn't too care about the match results whether it will be lost or win it doesn't make any difference as long he got a lot of money if this match to be realized

But if the other way around, like the rule, is an MMA rule then it will be a different story because we all know Connor is very good in MMA combat fighting and Manny only knows boxing, but I don't think Manny will agree to fight in an MMA rules, he rather not go for the match.

It's all business and no pride in this fight. Dude, Manny will not waste his pride fighting a nonsense fight. I also doubt it will earn a lot of money if this fight will progress.

This is just a test if there is indeed hype that will be created out of this possibility. If there is, then there is also a big money. And if there is big money, it does not matter if the fight will look like a matador fighting a clown. Poor taste to those who will promote this joke.
