Conor McGregor vs Manny Pacquiao

Great update mate, now the possibility of this to happen is getting closer and closer and until there's no negotiation on the May-PAC 2, this fight is gonna be the one that would bring big money to Manny. Continue putting more update regarding this fight, good job mate.

Thanks, I will If I have free time, since I'm also following this match.

This is more hype than It will be substances.

Yes, that is true! Despite the fact that we all knew that this is all about business, but we can't also deny that we're riding the hype. Maybe because they knew how to sell the fight by presenting the stat sheet telling McGregor have a shot to this fight. Which I think it was deliberately done before the Mayweather fight.
It was evident McGregor lacks a certain areas to beat a high ranked pro boxer. But, this is the only way to shut this pro boxer wanna be.

Manny Pacquiao just signed the Paradigm SM, a combat sport agency  which has also represents Conor McGregor. I guess we are closing the gap for this fight to happen. Because the negotiation will not going to be complicated since they're both under the same agency now.

This is more hype than It will be substances.  Both are professionals at their own sport.  It's like lebron james trying to play professional football.  It might get some hype but once it comes down to it he really doesnt have a shot.  If it becomes an AMA fight conner will wreck manny.  If it is a straight boxing match , manny will wreck him.  Pretty boringly too

But for me that result is important. Connor is saying that he hit Mayweather many times than Pacquiao did in their last match. In short he is saying that he is better than Pacquiao, and if this happens and we see the results, we could create a conclusion whose really close in defeating the undefeated champion. For me this is just a bridge to what will be the defeat or the down fall of the pretty boy.

Maybe it's true that Conor hit Mayweather more than Pacquiao, however, it doesn't have any effect on Floyd though. On the contrary, it looks like Floyd is making Conor do that, to exhaust him early because we all know that Conor has a history of gassing out in fight.

And we see that it is very effective, many we watch and bought the tickets thought that Conor has a chance in the early stage of the fight. However, when Floyd saw that Conor is tired he took over and won eventually.

It's more an exhibition.  If someone from one sports tries to fight a top level person in another sport it doesnt mean one person is better than the other in their own respective sport.  It's not even close who is better at boxing between pac and conner, conner isnt even a professional boxer.  He just makes noise and turns that into money from people wanting to watch him.  This would be a silly exhibition at best.

And that exhibition match could shut up this fighter. We all know that Connor talks be he also has a skill in his sport, the time that this topic opened, all I can think is how would Manny make this come true since as his fan, I know that Manny is interested in this fight. You might not be interested in this but for me, it is like LeBron joining a football team, it is an exhibition but as someone that will not be seeing this every single day, we want that to happen, how can he perform in a different field.

Most of the fans that will watch this are the fans of Manny, they want to see how Conor's face would look like by the end of the fight.
Hopefully his face will be look like the face of Margarito so he will stop his stupid idea of challenging well respected boxer, and hopefully he will be so aggressive like his style with the MMA so Manny would not have a hard time giving him a lesson.

Conor McGregor said he's in talks to box Manny Pacquiao, and a prominent boxing reporter says the Filipino is interested

LAS VEGAS — Conor McGregor said he has been in talks to box Manny Pacquiao, and a prominent boxing reporter said the Filipino is interested in the fight.

Business Insider attended Wednesday's press conference at the Palms Casino Resort's Pearl Theater for McGregor and Donald Cerrone to build interest in their UFC 246 welterweight fight at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday.

McGregor mentioned that his plans included a return to the boxing ring to improve on his losing record, having been defeated by Floyd Mayweather three years ago.

McGregor said he thought he did well against Mayweather in 2017. "With adjustments, I'd do better," he said. "Now I'd take victory."

Do you think this fight is possible? sure, it's gonna bring a lot of money for both fighters and this should be a better fight than conor vs mayweather because we might see the power of Manny here punish a trash talker conor.

What do you think on this article?

I don't think that is a good idea for McGregor. Manny Pacquiao is a legendary boxer and is very close to defeating Mayweather way back. Having the fact that Manny almost ended Mayweather's undefeated record, that makes the probability of McGregor from winning the match. I would definitely bet on Manny if this would happen. I am confident that I would win if that's the case cause the boxing ring is Manny Pacquiao's element and the octagon is McGregor's which somehow predict who will be the winner.

In terms of winning chances, it is not a good idea but in terms of money he will get regardless of the outcome, it's a good idea to fight Manny.

That's the simple logic I see why he challenge Manny to fight him.

The problem will be the odds of the fight.  I would say you would have to lay $1,000 to win $100 on this.  Anything under 10-1 odds is an easy bet on pac.  As a matter of fact I hope this fight does go off so all the nutballs out there can drive the odds down by betting on conner.

We can think that it's not the genre of Conor but this is all good for him and he's in a win-win situation. Everyone is already expecting that he will lose on this boxing match. We know Manny is a professional boxer, a legend, a champion while Conor, he's in different genre of fighting which is MMA. But despite of that, he can actually win through numbers and profits of this match so that's why this is a good match for him. I've heard that this match will be for real.

That's what Conor wants, he wants to make this his 2nd professional fight after the Mayweather fight (correct me if I'm wrong).

If the fight is going to be MMA format Connor will have a big edge but if it is going to be a boxing match Pacquiao will win and even knock him out I read in one article that Mayweather did not even take the training seriously and yet he won in a loop sided match, what more if he fights Manny.

[Gyfts]

I'm not sure why so many of you are under the impression that this is something other than a huge money grab for Conor. The dude is milking every dime he can from his fights, as he should. But that doesn't mean he believes he can hang with one of the best boxers in the sport. Mayweather was going easy on Conor to gas him out and prolong the fight. Floyd could have ended it in the first couple of rounds if he wanted to. I don't think Pacquiao is going to wait.

For fighters that would be playing into their own rules or game then for sure would really have the edge since theyve been get used to it.Ex.
Manny Pacquiao would fight on MMA rules since hes a boxer then he would have a disadvantage yet he cant utilize on how to use up his limbs and
other techniques which would be needed but somehow it do still have a chance yet we know on how tough boxers are when it comes to stamina.
He do have still chance on winning on MMA but for MMA to Boxing? it would be obvious to tell that chances of mma fighters are really slim.

[molsewid]

If Manny Pacquiao will fight again, it would be best if Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the opponent, not McGregor. There are many disadvantages to McGregor, and advantages to Manny Pacquiao.
Conor McGregor is in the world of MMA while Manny Pacquiao is in the world of boxing. This fight is a waste of time, what would be the benefits of this fight? only money?

People know that Manny would beat Conor, but for the sake of entertainment, they'll buy on this hype if ever the fight will happen.
Of course we all want a Manny vs Money rematch as that would be better than the fight we are also hyping,..lol.. but its likeliness to happen is very slim.

Lol, let's move on, with Manny vs Floyd. Of course, even though that Conor has a somewhat boxing background, he can't beat Manny in his own game. Any sports today are in the business of making money, so definitely, boxers and organisations and managers are targeting this kind of cross over fights to get tons of money from fans all over the world.

Yes, because the flavor of the game is favoring the people's champ.

But despite of that, he can actually win through numbers and profits of this match so that's why this is a good match for him. I've heard that this match will be for real.

That's what Conor wants, he wants to make this his 2nd professional fight after the Mayweather fight (correct me if I'm wrong).

Yes for the money and sure if this clicks, there will be 3rd, 4th and so on matches.

That's why @molsewid said that it would be best if this fight id against Floyd. Connor is at disadvantage here and we all know that Manny will win for sure even if Connor has a boxing background. He will served as a moving punching bag in the ring.
But this will turn to be a great fight, and for business of course. This will be one of the most awaited fight in the history.

[Vaculin]

This will be one of the most awaited fight in the history.

I am not sure it is because people were not asking for it, it just came down the conversation when Conor challenge Manny and we fans would also want this if there is no other fight for Manny that we think is going to be an exciting fight.

Exactly, I'm not sure about the anticipation though, I mean we all know that Manny Pacquiao said that along the line that he doesn't like this sort of fight. We want to see Manny fight again though, but with a good boxer, 147 lbs is fully stack up, so there is a lot of challenge for him, just saying.

The hype would be the most exciting part of this I guess.  When conor fought money it was a subpar fight at best and that's because money stayed in it to provide a show.  Of course there will be the fools that bet on conor but that is just the uninformed.  People need to stop talking this fight up as if it will be something.  The Conor boxing fight already happened...why would anyone want to see another?
