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.

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?

Obviously Connor is offering the fight to Manny he is ready and more than willing and it's now up to Manny if he will take the bait, and obviously it's going to be a boxing match, Manny will not fight Connor if it is an MMA type of match, this iso nly for entertainment as Mcgregor is not a serious threat to Manny Pacquiao's reputation.

[dothebeats]

The camp of Manny Pacquiao is actually open 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.

So is Manny willing to give another opportunity for Conor to make more money out of him? I don't know, if this is the case then Manny should fought boxers and shouldn't do any MMA cross-over match. This is definitely a win situation for Conor, even if he lost, he will get a lot of money from the fight. Just my opinion, if I'm Manny I wouldn't take this bait and will not give this kind of sweepstakes again to Conor. He already had it with Floyd. Anyways, boxing is pure business now and money talks so....

Edit:

“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 office of Manny Pacquiao already confirms it today, they said the fight will happen next year. The portion of money will really help a lot of people during these times. I've read there's another reason too for Manny to fight again, elections is coming and they said this fight will boost his name once again to run for higher office. Well, If this match up came true, then Pacquiao will be the winner for me even though his already at the age of retirement. This is boxing and this is the stage of Manny.

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.

Team Pacquiao already decided that this will be held next year, and portions of the pot money will be given to the victims of COVID 19.

The fact that they already accepted it, the decider of this match would be on how they would cope up with each others weaknesses. The age gap is already given that Manny Pacquiao will be at disadvantage but he already proved in some of his fights that this won't slow him down. Stamina is what makes Manny Pacquiao famous and strong contender as always, and sure in fact in BOXING, stamina is better than MMA. Ergo my bet for this fight goes to Manny, same as what many others people think.

[Astvile]

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.

[Jating]

Lots of contradictory statements, other media outlet says this is going to happen, but Sean Gibbons issue a different statement. If the fight is going to happen and for sure there will be no fans to watch because we are still under threat from the covid -19 virus, then how can they generate huge money? PPV will not be enough to generate if their goal is to raise as much money to help the covid-19 victims in the Philippines?

Floydie maybe laughing his ass off hearing this news, he started this trend and it shows that Manny is just following on his foot steps. And then Conor McGregor is the sure winner here, as he has the potential to make a lot of money fighting this legendary boxers.

[Japinat]

These are just speculation, this would happen but it won't be exciting as Conor was not really a boxer while they are fighting in the boxing ring. Have we seen the Conor vs Mayweather fight? if so, then you should not watch another exhibition look alike fight, it's just a waste of money IMO.

Mayweather vs Pacquaio, that's more interesting TBH.

[aioc]

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

“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,"

Whoa, next year? That'd be an interesting match if ever it'll really push through. But if I am to bet, I'd still go with my fellow Filipino, Manny Pacquiao. I saw McGregor fight with Mayweather and I was not that impressed. He's very good at fighting inside the octagon but when it comes to boxing, I just don't think it's his thing. If the match happen, it'll probably be just for entertainment.

[Botnake]

I thought this was just a joke, what would people expect in this fight? Damn, Manny getting on the Money style here, where's the reputation? why not fight a younger champion like Spence or Crawford?

I've seen this on Facebook hours ago regarding this fight that will happen next year and it seems that this will happen base on the legit sources that I've seen so far.

I didn't tried to research any articles regarding this on the internet but I just base it on the legit sources that I saw in Facebook. I also saw that the majority of the winnings of Pacquiao will be going to those people who are in need in this pandemic.

Either way, this is just money talks but the intention is good. Its just that Pacquiao will be using the winnings for a greater good. I don't know what McGregor will be doing in his winnings though.

[GreatArkansas]

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.

[Erumo]

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

[acroman08]

so they finally made it happen.

While Conor McGregor lost his last boxing with Floyd Mayweather.

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

In terms of the odds, it's still early to decide for this. But I'll totally go with Manny Pacquiao this time.

I hope so, based on McGregor fight to Mayweather. He was already exhausted around 8 rounds and up which in that time, He can't even throw a heavy punch and he looks like gonna faint. Considering that Mayweather is not a hardcore boxer compared to Manny pacquiao that known for pound for pound King, I'm sure that CM will gonna suffer a hard time here or maybe a KO if he didn't improve his stamina.

But the first 5 round of the match is gonna be good fight. If the fight continues until round 12, I'm sure the result will be the same as Mayweather and Connor previous fight.
