[Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor

[pilosopotasyo]

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

Let's see if it can generate interest both in the boxing and MMA fans but majority of us here will bet that Manny will be the run away winner here, Manny is very much superior to McGregor in boxing skills, yes Connor has power but that can he execute it properly and besides this is not a five round fight it's a ten rounds fight and Connor will run out of gas or he will be knocked out.

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

Support on this,Manny is already rich to care for the pot in boxing,instead He chooses to donate half of the Winnings for the victim of Covid 19.

No wonder that He will be one of the best candidate as presidential in the Philippines lol.

I will surely Bet on this,for my best ever idol Manny Pacquiao.

[DeathAngel]

I don’t see any point to this fight aside from a big pay day for both fighters. McGregor isn’t a boxer, it’s a farce, I would like to see him back in the Octagon where he belongs.

Pacquiao is one of the greats, he has nothing to prove, let alone against a MMA fighter. I struggle to see a need for this fight, it makes a bit of a show of the sport.

[Fundamentals Of]

This is not going to be real boxing. This is like a game of some kind. Conor doesn't know how to box. But credits to him for even coming up with this plan. He really knows how to stir the fans and make money out of it. He's a pro in marketing.

But let this fight happen if the fans want to see the two with their boxing gloves. We all know how it will end up, Conor getting schooled by the legend.

[Shasha80]

I think the boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor is very predictable, I'm sure most boxing fans will bet
on Manny Pacquiao's win. Although the age difference between the two boxers was quite large, but it is not a problem for Manny.
I believe that with Manny Pacquiao's ability and experience, he should be able to beat Conor McGregor easily. Moreover, it turned
out that Manny Pacquiao's main goal was to accept McGregor's challenge to provide charity to victims of COVID-19 in the Philippines.
This made Manny Pacquiao fans even more amazed at the Filipino boxing legend.

I have also heard about this news a while ago. There's still no final details but for sure, a lot of fans are already waiting and excited about this match. Also, the news said that Manny Pacquiao will use a huge part of his earning to help to fight COVID and I think it's a good initiative of the boxer/senator.

In a statement sent to CNN Philippines, Pacquiao’s camp said details of the match are still being finalized. What's certain is a huge portion of Pacquiao's earnings will be used to help in COVID-19 response, his office said.

I'm not really into boxing but as someone from the same country with Pacquiao, of course, I will support him and also because he has a good intention with the money he will earn.

[stomachgrowls]

There is serious discussion happening to try and make a Pacquiao vs. McGregor fight. McGregor is coming off a win in a tune up fight in January. His last win in a championship fight was in 2016. His record in MMA is 22-4, in boxing he is 0-1. Manny Pacquiao has a record of 62-7-2 and is coming off a win against Keith Thurman for the WBA Welterweight Title in July of 2019.

Manny Pacquiao opens as the heavy betting favorite.

When the fight would stick on boxing rules then its clear as day on who would really be the winner.Its a surprise that there's some odds given yet bookmakers wont really tend to make a line on this one yet its clear on who would really be winning this one.

The question is, would this fight would go through? If the demand would be that high then they might consider but now on this current pandemic. they cant really extract that much of
revenue unless of that ppv would be insanely high.

This had been discussed in the past but this one would just remain as a rumor and as long we dont hear any words from neither of both camps then it would still remain as a rumor.

[Rosilito]

I thought Manny Pacquaio was already done for good after his fight with Keith Thurman, and was just taking some time to announce his retirement  . While, mostly presume that it would be a one sided fight or outcome is to be expected, I'd rather see him fight Spence before bowing down away from his boxing career though.

Anyway, it just seemed that the opportunity to provide financial assistance for his own country was primarily the ground why Pacman took the challenge . It'd be much better if Conor would get back inside the octagon than fighting a career boxing man one of the greats to ever play such sports, or shall I say, get his ass back to where he's really great at. Either way, he'd still be able make some money out from there.

[Casdinyard]

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.

But  then wasn't McGregor also started their fight between Mayweather with just by talking, same as he is doing right now? I think that they would really push this out but I doubt with the confirmation of the Pacquiao's side, especially with the pandemic that is currently happening here in the Philippines as Pacquiao being part of the Philippine Senate. It might be not happening on January right away, but I really forsee that this would really happen.

If ever that it would happen, this would really be another hell of a match. I'm not that kind of fan anymore with Pacquiao as he is slowly getting weaker by aging. Hence, my bets would be on Mcgregor. Though he was lost with Mayweather in his first boxing fight, I think he is capable of learning fast with that experience.

[Yamifoud]

Wow, I can't imagine how McGregor decided to fight Manny. I know and I believe that he has the ability when it comes to close fight, MMA, but not for boxing. He's out fighting against Mayweather before and probably the same result to come out once they finally on the game. But I'm not sure if Manny will take this (opportunity) time as He already been facing huge responsibility as the COVID-19 cases in the Philippines isn't over yet.

I put my bet to Manny, McGregor is young enough, less experience in boxing. He's nothing TBH.

I put my bet to Manny, McGregor is young enough, less experience in boxing. He's nothing TBH.

I also bet for Manny he can knock Connor out, remember when Connor fought Mayweather he was on retirement and just came back because of the money and prestige of the fight, but now Connor is fighting a very active boxer in Manny Pacquiao who just comes from beating one of the best welterweight champion, it's going to be disaster for Connor this time.

Manny is still undeniably good in boxing despite his age that he is able to match with younger boxer, he's disciplined and dedication really helps them to win in every fight. It was also said and confirmed in Philippines that this game will pursue and will be scheduled soon. This match if Pacquio win maybe is to be able to help more people during this Covid, and I know he will still win.

[seoincorporation]

I don't think this fight is really going to happen, we see in the past fight how McGregor isn't made for Box, he didn't know how to react when his opponent gives him the back, so that only means he is not good for that sport.

And if this fight happens is because McGregor needs more money to promote his whisky, that's all, it doesn't mean he is going to win, it only means it's show time.

Pacquiao is one of the greats, he has nothing to prove, let alone against a MMA fighter. I struggle to see a need for this fight, it makes a bit of a show of the sport.

I see your point, but there's nothing wrong if Pacman will accept the match. I believe in Manny that he will win the fight if ever that it will be set. But we should not take away the chance that McGregor still have the slightest chance for this match up. A fact, Pacquiao will donate the money that he will get from that match for the victims of covid 19 here in our country.

That's maybe a good reason accepting this fight! The money that he will earned can be donated to those many affected people struggling with this pandemic virus. There's nothing to prove as what we all know it's just a fight to entertain people who are interested to see how this two fighters will performs.
Not a big fan though of such kind of entertainment but if ever this materialize I go with this reason why Manny will accept it.

[target]

so they finally made it happen.

While Conor McGregor lost his last boxing with Floyd Mayweather.

When it comes to Pacquiao, people will pay to see him fight. Its like Tyson vs Jones that even if they got too old to fight their fans will still want them to rumble. Money is just one of the reason.

Somehow I would assume pacquiao will have the better deal for the match. Still a good deal even if its 60-40 for Mcgregor, making fights like this that will generate him millions is far better than retiring without seizing the opportunity while younger.

[KTChampions]

This is not going to be real boxing. This is like a game of some kind. Conor doesn't know how to box. But credits to him for even coming up with this plan. He really knows how to stir the fans and make money out of it. He's a pro in marketing.

But let this fight happen if the fans want to see the two with their boxing gloves. We all know how it will end up, Conor getting schooled by the legend.

Such fights only annoy me and do not cause any interest, this is a farce. Obviously, Pacquiao will win easily. I would look with interest at Conor's boxing with some boxer from the bottom of the first hundred - young and ambitious. That would be really interesting (and I think Conor would lose).

[Twentyonepaylots]

I don’t see any point to this fight aside from a big pay day for both fighters. McGregor isn’t a boxer, it’s a farce, I would like to see him back in the Octagon where he belongs.

As we have seen with Floyd and McGregor's fight, we hate it coz it doesn't look like a real Boxing. McGregor exhausted too fast, clearly he can't keep up for 12 rounds. McGregor was born to fight in octagon, he knows that but the thing is he's creating a hype for the money and the title.

Pacquiao is one of the greats, he has nothing to prove, let alone against a MMA fighter. I struggle to see a need for this fight, it makes a bit of a show of the sport.

Could have been another Filipino UFCC fighter like Kevin Belingon. I don't see the point of Pacquiao fighting McGregor, really.

[posi]

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.

Of course, there's guarantee that the fight will push through because Pacman camp and lawyer are already doing the finalize of all confidential components thag will make that fight happen and i even read that Pacman is planning to use some portion of his earning from the fight to help with the pandemic issue in his country.
With that been said, the fight will take place next year and the fight format is boxing. However, its too early to decide who the winner will be because Conor McGregor once fought with Mayweather and he performed nicely.

I think this could be a very tense fight because Manny Pacquiao's reputation is at stake against Conor McGregor who I think still has the potential to win if he can use good strategy and have high luck. just watch how the match and the results hopefully won't be a nightmare for Pacquiao.
