[Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor

[Golftech]

Looks Like Conor again wanted to try His skills over Boxers?because after Floyd Mayweather now he will try the second most popular Boxer of our time Manny Pacquiao.

I want to see how he will try His best to at least win over a boxer since He is  Mix Martial Arts fighter and has already Lose once in this Ring.

He has no skills in boxing, maybe know how to box but no skill, his skill is in UFC, he gotta stay there.
Pacman have an easy fight for easy money, if money is main purpose, he will take this.

because after Floyd Mayweather now he will try the second most popular Boxer of our time Manny Pacquiao.

I want to see how he will try His best to at least win over a boxer since He is  Mix Martial Arts fighter and has already Lose once in this Ring.

if he wasn't KO on floyd's fight, he will be in this fight I believe.

I think so too. The difference on the Floyd-Connor fight is both of them most do care on money, I suppose and with Floyd's style on boxing it wouldn't be that surprising that no KO happens. This time it will be different Pacquiao do really fight for glory, well, almost all of his fights we do expect a KO.

[Vishnu.Reang]

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.

Around two-three months before the fight, Pacquiao had odds of around 2.9 and Thurman was at 1.6 or 1.7. Then the fans of Pacquiao made huge number of bets in favor of him, and the gambling sites were forced to lower their odds for Manny. In two months time, Manny's odds came down from 2.9 to 1.8 (you can check the Pacquiao vs Thurman thread).

Would he had that same fighting? since he do know that his opponent isnt really a true Boxer? He might still have some hesitations on giving out his maximum fighting style but he wont for sure on giving out opportunities for him to be knocked out but basing off between them in terms of stamina then  no doubt that
Pacquiao would really had it.If we do try to look again on what happened in Mayweather-Conor fight where you can really tell the difference or the gap
basing off on jabs and stamina or even on hard punches that had been released.Conor get easily lost his gas of few round and thats the big problem.

[famososMuertos]

This is the fight of two super stars in each of their categories (!?)

This is the fight of two boxers who have earned the right to get on a ring to fight in one of the most respected individual rivalry sports, and of the sports that best paid a world champion deservedly for having won That right, well, at least for the world title one of them had it well deserved. -/Anyway/-
-//-
Or is it simply that there is no replacement generation or sure there is but the talent of the great stars is scarce, so much that we have to look for the great Manny Pacquiao (this guy is special, no doubt) against McGregor.

Come on! the point is that in my case I want to see real guys eager to win; for a title, for the money, for becoming a legend, history ...

When talent is in short supply the old school "ego" appears.

_____-
McGregor:Title, money, legend, history...
PacMan:Titles, money, legend, history, politics, philanthropist. (...)

I've read somewhere on the internet that Manny Pacquiao was tipped to KO,  McGregor on the very first round of their match. Is it true?

I think it is just rumour, don't believe on those tips. It is too early to have that speculation. I don't think Pacquiao will want his fight rigged and fixed. I believe he is a boxer that wants clean fight as much as possible. I don't know him well but that is my impression ever since I saw him fight inside the ring. He always wants to fight toe to toe with his opponent. So I don't think he will change his stance with McGregor, just because of the money.

[chaser15]

What kind of question is that. You just mentioned it's a rumor.

I don't know where you read that but both Pacquaio and McGregor aren't that type of boxer who will entertain that kind of offer. They are not desperate.

Can you share here some links or sources?

[Kemarit]

I've read somewhere on the internet that Manny Pacquiao was tipped to KO,  McGregor on the very first round of their match. Is it true?

LOL, where is the link? There are no longer any "mafia" in boxing, this is just pure speculation and none sense. Oh wait, don't put the link, probably just a rubbish website, don't want people here to give the website owner free click and revenues.

Pacquaio won't taint his reputation here by accepting this, same as McGregor, besides they are going to generate big money here, so it really doesn't make sense. Those who are insinuating this kind of non sense is just like trying to destroy the fight itself or they could have their own narrative behind this fake news.

[bryant.coleman]

I've read somewhere on the internet that Manny Pacquiao was tipped to KO,  McGregor on the very first round of their match. Is it true?

Hmm... "somewhere in the internet", right?

I don't know why anyone should take such unsubstantiated rumors seriously. Match fixing don't happen at this level, and we have to remember that Manny Pacquiao is also a politician. If he do something like this (which is impossible), then his political career will be ruined. These rumors were circulated by someone who wanted to tarnish his reputation. And I would say that most probably, his political rivals are behind this.

All that said, odds are heavily in favor of Pacquiao. Pacquiao at -450, and McGregor at +325. 

[Genemind]

I've read this on Facebook and Manny is planning to donate whatever money he gets to his fellow countrymen who became a victim of the Pandemic. I like the intention of Manny, however, McGregor should stop proving himself fighting other Athletes in different fields even if it's for entertainment or to prove himself the strongest. Boxing and MMA is way far different and huge adjustments have to be made by both athletes if this happens.

Fans are looking for KO, I would love to watch this if the fight will not be for entertainment only, we deserved a real fight,I don't mind Conor running around or not throwing a lot of punches as long as money will take this seriously, it would be a notable fight if there's a KO and it should Conor since he is not a pro in this sport in reality.

Pacquiao is not interested in fighting a UFC fighter. This is not fun to see and if they will fight on boxing I will go for Manny Pacquiao. The training they had is different because Manny Pacquiao is good puncher and a real fighter in boxin while Conor maybe a power puncher too or good fighter but this is boxing and not all the trained areas will be utilized by a UFC fighter. Boxing is a very strategic game and usually boxers are good in punching while Mc Gregor I do not know where could his advantage against Manny Pacquiao. Even if they will all go for a single round I bet that Mc Gregor will going to dance with Manny punches, movement and speed. He must have a longer preparation like years before he can beat manny pacquiao. If they do not know how fast and power Manny then they can see it and experience in the boxing ring.

I don't know if this news is true.

MINE Bad news for Conor McGregor? Mikey Garcia claims Manny Pacquiao is ‘100 per cent’ fighting him next and won’t face UFC star until after their bout

Conor McGregor declared late last week that his next fight will be against Manny Pacquiao, but Mikey Garcia is not so sure.

In his tweets on Friday night, McGregor posted his messages to UFC president Dana White, showing that he tried to arrange a return to MMA earlier this year.

Then, McGregor tweeted: “Anyway all water under the bridge who gives a fook. I’m boxing Manny Pacquiao next in the Middle East.”

In addition, McGregor’s manager Audie Attar – who also represents Pacquiao – told ESPN that there are ‘serious talks’ ongoing for the fight, though it is not a done deal yet.

The following morning, a statement came out from Pacquiao’s office which said: “For the sake of all the Filipino COVID-19 victims, Senator Manny Pacquiao will be fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor next year.

“The huge portion of his earnings will proceed to those who are affected nationwide by the pandemic.”

Prior to this news, there had been little mentioned within the boxing world about Manny’s next bout.

When his name was brought up, it was strongly linked with either Mikey Garcia or Terence Crawford.

Garcia has now thrown a spanner in the works and told McGregor he’s not Pacquiao’s next opponent after all.

And also this,

n the last few months, Pacquiao has been rumored as an opponent for several big names - including Errol Spence, Mikey Garcia, and even UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

Sean Gibbons, the head of Pacquiao’s MP Promotions, indicates that whoever the boxer faces - he won't be coming back on the cheap, so a live crowd will likely be necessary in some form.

https://www.boxingscene.com/manny-pacquiao-ring-return-likely-require-some-fans-venue--152120

So definitely, Manny will only fight if there is a crowd, which for now is most unlikely. If it's Mikey Garcia then so be it, and we all know that we would rather see him with a boxer, than something like Conor who are no match and just fighting him for the big money in the table.

[btc_angela]

Same as Mikey though, he is not a true 147 lbs fighter, his best weight should be 140 lbs. Look at him fighting Errol Spence, he looks like a balloon 147 fighter. So the better chose would be a natural welterweight like Spence, Crawford. Mikey is just for the money as well that's why he is interested even though we all know that this is not his weight division. Yes Garcia won against Vargas, but we all know that Jessie is not a top tier boxer anymore.

That might not give him as big money as he can earn fighting Conor but he will be able to keep his reputation as a boxer with principle and not for money, and also this could give better entertainment for the fans as we know Manny as a legend in boxing, he should be in boxing only.

[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.

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.   

Yeah McGregor is on His prime no doubt about that specially the AGE GAP that is Manny will surely in His retirement age.

But never forget McGregor is a Streetfighter meaning His skills depends on His Hand and Feet to bring down His opponent,but this is Boxing in which He only needs to Punch and Punch without any other skills allowed.
This is Pacquiao's advantage.

Lets see what happens to our Bets mate,lets congratulate who will win between us

Boxing and MMA is quite different, if it's boxing, it's Manny who will win and if its in MMA it's obviously Mcgregor.
MMA vs boxer, not a good fight to watch but since this attracts money, good for them.

And one thing I would disagree, Pacman does not upset Thurman as he was the betting favorite in the fight.

Manny Pacquaio was not the initial favourite though, it was Thurman,

According to the boxing odds at MyBookie.ag on May 15, the opening line for the Pacquiao vs. Thurman fight had Thurman as a -135 favorite (wager $135 to win $100). Pacquiao's opening line was +115 (wager $100 to win $115).

https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterkahn/2019/07/05/why-manny-pacquiao-became-the-odds-on-favorite-to-defeat-keith-thurman/#32faffe45231

But the odds change as the fight gets closer, (which usually happen). However, in this fight, Manny should be the opening betting favourite and I doubt that Conor can overcome it. Obviously, they are going to fight in the ring, although Conor has a powerful left as well, Manny has a good chin, (although broken by Marquez), but still I believed it can hold against Conor's left. And we all know that Pacquiao is a volume puncher, his right hand is underrated, but I think it will be his main weapon against Conor and then it will be finish with his left.
