[Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor

[zidanw]

Yes that could be true if there will only be limited people who will attend then there's a chance that it will result to a lower profit and so the fight will not earn and might just waste their two teams efforts. It's good thing to know that Pacquiao's intention was to fight McGregor on purpose of helping his fellow countrymen.

[dunfida]

Everyone has the right to challenge Manny Pacquiao, it's just that McGregor is a very lucky person because Pacquiao can accept the challenge and I believe this will be a very exciting and full of drama, at least the challenger still has the potential to beat the world champion, this is an opportunity. good for proving who is the best boxer in the world.

Do we really need a fight to determine who the best boxer in the world and that too against McGregor, he had a phenomenal rise in the MMA scene and that rise is taken a beating against Khabib after all the trash talk and gassing out against Mayweather but to think that he can challenge any top boxers in the world is just foolish and if the fight is put together it is going to be an easy pay day for Manny Pacquiao.

I bet yes, a match is needed not only for an intentions to determine who is the best boxer among Pacquiao and McGregor but i bet for a satisfaction of a gambler who used to put their money as a bet who among them would be win. For me it sounds uneasy knowing there are people behind the battle of the two boxer looking forward for their investment to become double or tripple whenever their bet wins but it is also a chance for a boxer to earned also a money not for themselves but for their family also. Both will become the benificiary of this game.

There's no need to prove out on whose the best boxer among between these two fighters knowing that they are champions on a different field which shouldnt really be collided but for the sake of money or business then these kind of fights made it possible as long it do create some hype and interest then it will really fit out into the criteria and of course when it comes on filling out someones wallet or pockets then these fight will no doubt generate hundreds of millions basing of into these two fighters popularity and career.Im not really much serious on whose gonna win because its clear as water and theres no need to question up your mind.
What thing matter most is it can bring out entertainment and at the same time they do fulfill on what they had promised out to help people in need.

I think the kind of figure they are looking would not match to the previous fight of Conor McGregor against Mayweather, $100 million to $200 million is still huge considering the pandemic.

If they get this figure. https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/21770652/floyd-mayweather-conor-mcgregor-43-million-domestic-ppv-buys-600-million

Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor pulled in 4.3M domestic PPV buys, $600M

I think it would already be considered as a big success.

[FlightyPouch]

If this fight is really gonna happen, then the result is already crystal clear, Manny Paquiao would win. Conor is a mixed martial artist, meaning punching is not his expertise so in a boxing match, the odds will be in Manny Paquiao surely.

That's why others see that Conor won't last against Manny. But I'm thinking that Pacquaio might just stretch the fight similar to what Floyd did, at least to give the fans some excitement and then knock him out in the later rounds.

True, whatever we said here, it will come down to how these two professional athletes will make this fight exciting, Conor McGregor struggling to the speed of one of the best boxers in this generation and the money they will be getting which Manny has a good intention for it and I don't know about Conor. I guess that is the way this match sums up.

I guess that is the way this match sums up.

These are just rumors Conor McGregor started after the last PPV just to have the media attention, we have another big fight coming up in the UFC where Khabib is fighting and i can bet that you will hear something crazy flash news from Conor McGregor after the PPV is over.

The tweet McGregor posted about the fight were forced to remove by the Saudi if not he would have faced legal issues. Now McGregor is having a war of words with Dana White and if he rejects this match up then there is no  way he could overcome the decision of Dana.

[Debonaire217]

As what I see, Conor actually do fight in boxing, but it is evident in his style that he is for UFC since he always does foul plays when he fought Mayweather. But that is actually not the case as what I've heard, the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor will be for a cause especially to help the nation's biggest Covid victims.

But I think it will already be a big help since most of the fights of Pacman makes people stay inside of their house. Meaning, it could help to lessen the spread of the virus.

[BuNga_cute]

I'm sure Pacquiao and McGregor's fight will be very entertaining, for Pacquiao is more popular than McGregor. And also in terms of
achievements, Pacquiao is still much better than McGregor. Pacquiao should be able to beat McGregor easily. But the 9 year age
difference between Pacquiao and McGregor takes into consideration McGregor's stamina should be better, but if Pacquiao can beat
McGregor in 1-2 rounds, such a difference in stamina is not a problem.

[sunsilk]

I hope that if they this fight will be organized, it wont happen with empty tribunes. By looking on both fighters average rewards, PPV wont be enough to pay them and for organizers to earn. I dont think that PPV will be even enough to cross promotional expenses.

The fight wouldn't just be dependent with PPV. Actually it's just an additional profit for the match as they've got several and expensive sponsors to get some view and exposure for this fight. And they wouldn't have hard time looking for them.

Because they are the ones who wants to fill those exposure watch time as they know that this match is going to be viewed by millions of people worldwide. They've got enough to cover the two fighters, it's just a matter of closing the deal and how much budget was set individually.

If the rules of the pandemic won't change in the date of their fight and the people won't be allowed to watch the fight like they used to be, then the profit will decrease significantly. the only people can earn are those two fighters and that doesn't really matter for those who promote their fight and for the people who want this fight to happen. As long as they can watch those two fight in the ring, the profit won't really matter anymore.

I think it would already be considered as a big success.

You need to remind that bulk of the PPV buys come from the United States. Floyd Mayweather is an American, and within the US his fan base is much larger than that of Conor McGregor. So I would say that Mayweather was responsible for most of this revenue inflow. You can't expect the Manny Pacquiao-Conor McGregor fight to pull in the same number of PPV buys.

[kotajikikox]

I did not expected that Manny Pacquiao will accept this fight because he already saw what happens in Mayweather against Connor but this is about popularity and income since there are many expectorant that wanted to Bet on this fight though it is already obvious the outcome.
Manny will win on this and for Him that i will surely bet.

if this fight don't gather enough profit for the organizer?i'm sure they will extend the waiting like what Tyson's fight that supposed to be happened last month.

Yes, this pandemic has greatly changed the usual life of athletes. If this fight really takes place, it will attract a lot of attention, because the public was homesick for such fights.

There are still open questions about public events and whether the conditions of Manny Pacquiao to be a co-provider of this fight will be met.

You cant say so because even these fighters arent residing in US but doesnt mean that they wont really get that much support in terms of PPV. Of course, interest would really be there.
It might not be equalled nor match on Mayweather history when it comes to ppv sales but at least it will show some considerate numbers or quantities knowing that these
boxers arent just some average ones.These are "World Champions" and with that alone you can really presume out that this will generate sufficient hype and interest to drive
this to some good revenue both into its promoters and from boxers itself.

No matter the numbers in attendance, the match won't be a waste for the organizers. Remember that, coronal virus has taught us not be living as before and this event will be monitor closely by agencies responsible for that. McGregor fight has been my favourite and with the pandemic, they will make some slide loss though, there will be profit with the fight even at this trying times with our world.

Manny is not new in the US, ask some Americans on who is their favorite fighter, Manny or Mayweather and you'll be surprise with their answer. IF floyld were able to pull out that big money in that exhibition fight, I don't think Manny would be left behind. Also, let's put in mind that promoters aren't dump to spend money for this fight if they don't see the potential.

Less expense for them actually as they will not rent an Arena anymore if the fight happen without a crowd.

There's one listed in the OP but this one which is the latest is different.

There's a little improvement of the odds if you'll favor Manny Pacquiao to win this fight, though not so attractive but if you like making easy money, you should go for Manny Pacquiao here, all the time.

This is just crazy. Given the odds, I don't think that anyone will make a bet in favor of Manny. If you put $100, then you may get around $10 as profit. But there is always a chance of an upset. McGregor is a very talented fighter and he do have a good chance in this fight. It is up to you guys to decide whether you want to risk $100, just for $10. IMO, the risk is too high and the potential returns are too low.

More than 10% of return is not low if you are sure enough that it's a one sided fight, and it's what would really happen here, though it's just an exhibition fight, I just doubt Conor McGregor could even win one round.

"I just doubt Conor McGregor could even win one round." I'll take that bet 

Well, be caution of this bet because things has happened before now when the underdog takes the game by surprise. The first fight between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz should be a lesson for us all when a fight is be determine. Though am not yet ready for the bet but when ready I will go for the underdog IMO.

Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz, but also McGregor's bout against Mayweather demonstrated that McGregor is a decent boxer (outside the Octagon).

[Alucard1]

Boxing and MMA are quite different, if it's boxing, it's Manny who will win and if it's 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.

Yeah, that is true, both MMA and boxing are different sports, I think it is a good fight for me, the fight will be going to boxing and I want to see McGregor if he can win against a professional boxing player. We know that both fighters are great and can show the things we want in their different sports, that is why I am so excited for this fight, this would be a great fight.

It is just a bonus fight and the money that Manny Pacquiao can earn here will be sent to the victims of the pandemic in the Philippines.

Manny is not new. But that doesn't mean that he will be able to pull the same amount of revenues that Floyd is capable of. Floyd is Floyd. No one else can match him. There is a reason why he is the richest boxer out there in the history of the sport. Manny will be able to pull a lot of revenues, but at the point it is pointless to compare him with Floyd Mayweather.

Of course, we can't compare that to Floyd, but speaking of revenue, Manny could still earn a lot of money in boxing regardless of who is opponent is. A lot but lower than what Floyd has made, I don't know the reason but maybe people just love to watch a boring boxing and then regret at the end of the fight as all they see is just Floyd score and run technique.

McGregor can fight in boxing, in fact he has a license, unfortunately he doesn't have a talent in boxing, he just know how to fight but he don't know how to win. I could bet on the retired boxer to beat McGregor, Dela Hoya vs McGregor, I will still go with Dela Hoya, even Mike Tyson, lol.
