[Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor

[peter0425]

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. 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.

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 .

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

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.

[Sutters Mill]

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. Connor is a great MMA fighter but he's not going to beat a world class boxer despite Manny getting on a bit now and being out of action for a while. Fans are desperate to see him in the UFC again so why not just give people what they want??? No big boxing matches are going to take place anytime soon due to covid restrictions anyway so he might as well fight in the UFC as at least Dana has managed to put fights on behind closed doors.He can fight in the UFC and do these big boxing matches when he's able but without building up a bit of a buzz first I think he might not be as popular as he once was and the fight could be a flop or not command anywhere near the same amount of eyeballs as the Mayweather fight did.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sports books are going to take a huge loss on this fight.  All the big smart money will be in on pac as its almost a lock and only smaller novelty bets will be on the conner side.  They don't like these novelty events because its almost always an automatic loss for them.

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.

[batang_bitcoin]

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

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

Easy money, right?

Yes, definitely easy money. Most UFC fans are missing him the way he is as a fighter in MMA not in boxing. But if that's his decision, it's all about business to him and we can't just stop him if he likes it this way and there's more money doing challenges and matches against the other genre of sports than what he's practicing for years. I wonder how much he's going to make for this match and if this clicks, there could be another match for him to make money again.

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

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.

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.

...

80% is something, this event is getting close to become a reallity, i have been searching news but couldn't find one that really confirms the fight will happen.

From what i understand Conor is pushing Pacquiao in the social networks but that's all... Is like when Steve-O try to fight with justin bieber. Is just some drama.

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.

the bottomline of this match is the money that they can bring home. Conor - money for himself, Pacquiao - for his countrymen (as it has been said that part of his earnings will go to covid charity). what else are we gonna expect from this fight? wonder when will Pac will truly retire from his boxing profession.
 if nothing else, this will get the interest of boxing fans around the world. bookies will have good money afterwards.

[7788bitcoin]

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  .

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.

He wound't mind getting humiliated if in return he will make at least $100 million. There's no pride anymore on some boxers now, they want to make money so they can retire and entire that big fortune and that's what they are making if the fight will indeed happen.

Pacquiao has a speed and this is the problem if His Punches will connect or just thrown in the air,and also if he can tolerate Manny's punches as he is Good at it using LEft and even Right ,The Hooks  is also powerful.
Hope that the Fight will end early for Manny not having any damage or accident in this game because He is a sure winner .

But he Need to use the Boxing for more appearances and People will always freshly reminded of His name and what he did for the country.

This is not the first time that Conor McGregor is trying his luck with boxing. Three years ago, he had a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. , which is regarded as one of the most revenue-earning fights in the history of professional boxing. McGregor got a paycheck for $130 million, while his opponent earned $280 million. There were more than 5 million PPV buys.

[carlisle1]

Manny Pacquiao opens as the heavy betting favorite.

i am a McGregor fan for years now because i love him Fighting in the octagon,But i am disappointed when he Goes against Floyd Mayweather because Boxing
 and Mix Martial arts has different rules though there are many boxers that is now playing in octagon.


But this time with the famous and  great boxer like Manny Pacquiao ?i will go against Conor and will bet surely for the fighting senator.

Yeah i do understand the motive which i do have the same view as well as he do this fight for helping out people who are in need.For now he didnt care much about other fights that would give even more better opportunity
specially on that GGG rumor fight aiming for the 9th division belt.Instead he do go for a fight on which he do saw that it might generate even more sales but to look against GGG it would really still give out some decent PPV sales because we have seen that everytime that Manny Pacquiao do had a fight then you can really expect that there would be lots whom do love to watch.For now it might be different since we arent on the normal days
but they can still make out some money of it.

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.

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.   

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.
