[Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor

[wheelz1200]

The odds are not good IMO.

Conor at +700.. nobody would bet on him against money though the odds is very attractive.

Manny  -1200, I know Manny would win this fight, but 1200 usd for 100 usd win, I'll pass on that.

Actually at -1200 those are great odds even though its almost $1 for every $12 bet.  If I blindly told you  an ex world champion in professional boxing is going up against a guy who has fought one other professional boxers in his life wouldn't this be considered a steal of a fight.  When conner faced floyd money brought it down to around 7-1 and thats when the massive money came pouring into floyd at Vegas pushing the odds back out.  I imagine people will bet on conner as a novelty but then as the fight draws closer a ton of mo ey will come in on pac

If Manny had already decided then lets wait on McGregors team to agree and then set the fight.Some said that this might not happen but we do able to heard up on whats the motive of Manny Pacquiao for this match
which is really a heroic kind of thing specially into these hard times on where people do lost their jobs and have some problem on day to day living.Its rare for someone whom do donate most part of his winnings
for the sake of others..Hopefully this fight would push through not for the sake of fame or reputation but thinking off for the people that would be helped for this cause.This is aint a charity fight or whatsoever
but the other fighter had already recognized for this one to be the way on making things.When it comes to winner talks then theres no doubt that he would really pull this one off easily.
Boxing rules will always suit boxing fighters.

Indeed, one of the reason why I am hopeful for this fight to push through is because of the people who will benefit to the aid that Pacquiao will be giving out. And knowing him he will help those people regardless if he wins or not. It is for the best that he wins tho.

Very well said, this odds are great enough but let’s see what will happen next. Pacquiao all the way!

I am not so sure if it will be a good fight to watch knowing that McGregor is pro in MMA and not in boxing. He only start playing boxing because he see it as an opportunity to earn a huge amount of money.

And now, he will be playing against Manny to get a good attention and also to have a huge amount of money at stake again. The chances that McGregor will win this  fight is pretty slim so if I am to bet, whatever the odds then I will bet to Manny.

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?

That's purely because of money.

I 'll give you an idea how much conor made during his fight with Mayweather,

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.

Does that also mean that boxing matches like these earn big cash than UFC matches? I guess that would be the reason he's asking for it in the past. We all know he's a hard puncher but I never thought of how big they are being paid inside the octagon, so I thought it is kind of a challenge to him and the money, of course.

This is depending on the opponent, for an ordinary boxer, he would not make much.
We can only compare with his first fight in boxing where he made $100 million (more or less) but his biggest paycheck in UFC is only around $50 million according to https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-246-conor-mcgregor-bags-the-biggest-payday-of-his-mma-career-to-fight-donald-cerrone/.

Just think of this, Conor superstar in UFC, Manny and Mayweather both superstars in boxing.

Its all business as usual and its sad that they do jump off into other sports just for the sake of money even they do know that they dont have the chance on winning.
He knows that he would win a rematch? Hell no, and its clear as day that the would just aim for another big paycheck if ever there would be a sequel but this
time he's aiming for Pacquiao which can possibly generate more or less on what he expected but it is much better than nothing at all or the amounts that he
cant gain when he's on UFC.

Besides he's too slow for Manny if it's just punches the one we are talking to. This time it's about money and maybe he just wants fame and says he is good of both the UFC and boxing world but the latter is really a question to all of us.

I just really hopes Manny won and that it could be donated to the people affected by the pandemic. A prayer for Connor this early I know this will be a fight everyone is expecting - not a close one.

In fact, to make a lot of money Conor challenges Manny, especially in conditions of economic crisis like now, surely most boxing matches
are held to make money. Therefore Conor seems to have challenged Manny from the start not to want to win the match, but to be able to
make a lot of money. Therefore, I really hope that Manny can win the match, because Manny's goal is to provide charity funds for victims
of COVID-19.

[sunsilk]

I have searched for some confirmation and it's the office of Manny Pacquiao that has confirmed this fight but, from MP himself he hasn't said any word.

I just see another the same match that Conor did before with Mayweather. But if the camp of MP has confirmed this to happen, we just have to wait from the official announcement of his manager or campaigner as they're the one fixing his upcoming matches.

Yes it was only said first by Manny's assistant as been also said in news. So it's really confirmed and He will do it for helping in needs due to Pandemic, portion of his winning will go for helping many. Hopefully He will really win, not just because of his good heart for other but because he still deserves to win despite his age, he's still strong and fast.

I see the good intention of why he's going to go with this match as it will bring him a lot of money. And the same with Conor, there's also going to be an outflowing of money for this match.

If that's the said statement is coming from the camp, ok then I don't have to wait for an official words coming from MP as there's already an assistant of him who has verified this match and to say, there's already a lot of news circulated for this match which is said to happen on Dubai if not, somewhere in Middle Easy but it can still change as they cook this match.

[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.

[Sadlife]

Well, we know what to expect mostly MMA fighter has very low stamina. So we might see Manny to go a battle of endurance, or we may see Manny make things interesting such going on for a brawl in the starting rounds. When i first heard of this fight was ridiculous, but when i've learned the reason behind Manny the 8 division world champion fighting Mcgregor was to help poor people devasted by the pandemic.

[NavI_027]

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

Yup! Not even close to any of Pacquiao's opponents. Don't get me wrong, Conor is well known because of his striking abilities. But if you may notice, he is not a heavy puncher, he is just a sharp one.

Furthermore, boxing gloves is not the same as MMA gloves. And I doubt that he can adjust with it in such a short period of time. In that being said, Conor no longer had an ace card against Manny. How he can win now?

He has a lot of future in the Philippine politics that he may have retired for good now.

You know what, I may agree on you. Even though his educational background is way far from the other senators, I don't look at it as a downside. It's true that only a poor can deeply understand the struggles of his fellow. Plus, I'm pretty sure that he will never be corrupt. C'mon! No need to do so since he already had a plenty of money so we can expect that he will just into public service. Nothing more, nothing less.

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.   

[Jating]

I know this will be a big night, and a big seller for the fans. However, I'd just like to see Conor actually get back into the UFC, and start earning his way back to a title shot. I'm not a fan of these boxing crossovers, since someone of Conor's quality, and persona should be fighting for titles, and not these white collar boxing events. I do think this will be a good fight, and ultimately Pacquiao will come out on top. Although, I'm hoping Conor, and Dana sort out their issues, and get Connor back in contention for the title within a few years.

If I'm not mistaken, Conor hinted a return to MMA, but obviously, it seems that the talks has break down because he wanted to fight Pacquaio now for a bigger money.

I do doubt it though, I believe Conor thinks he deserves big money for the once big name he was. Don't get me wrong hes still a massive name inside UFC, but he was taken apart in his last but one fight against Khabib, and against Cerrone it was too short lived to really get an idea of whether he can return back to the big names.

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.
