[Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor

[suzanne5223]

However, not this time maybe as there's a lot more important things to do than this fight, and during the pandemic there was no crowd, so less money.

With this kind of fight, they badly needed PPV just like what's the outcome of the Mayweather-McGregor fight wherein they generated $600M on that and I guess this anticipated fight between PacMan and The Notorious will do the same but I am not expecting it will be that huge until the situation goes better.

To be honest with you, Pacman and McGregor fight will never generate the funds as McGregor fight with Mayweather Jr and Mayweather himself also confirmed it. Besides, he said his fight with McGregor was a bank robbery due to the money he bagged through the fight but if McGregor and Pacman create some kind of hype conversation before the fight, it may gain the attention of boxing fans.

Yeah, it's very different, fans buy tickets that time to see Floyd and hope that he will lost, while for Pacquiao, fans are going to watch because they wanted to see him whoop McGregor's ass. But it can generate close to Floyd's number though, but I don't think Pacquiao can surpass the numbers in terms of PPV and live gates generated. So this fight will have to wait, till the pandemic is over or at least fight fans can watch in live.

Close? how close, if I'm not mistaken based on what I read here, the Mayweather vs Conor McGregor generated $600 million, more or less, I don't think this fight would generate at least $500 million, to say it close.

Manny's net worth according to https://www.sportekz.com/boxing/manny-pacquiao-net-worth/ is $375 Million, so if they will make $500 in this fight and Manny will get a bigger slice of the cake, that's bigger than what he made during his fight against Mayweather.

For everyone's information, Manny made $150 million during his fight with Mayweather and that fight generated almost the same amount Mayweather vs McGregor fight generated. In short, Mayweather here is the one bringing money to the fight and we can see that in his previous fights.

Thank you for breaking it down Stadus and I think it will stil hard for Pacman die hard fan to accept the fact that every boxing fight that involves Mayweather Jr as fighter or promoter the fund that will be generated is just like robbing the bank this the reason why Davis a boxer which Mayweather promote upcoming fight was among the most talk about fight in boxing.

Who knows that maybe one day this dream match will come true, Just like the Mcgregor and Mayweather fight but one thing that’s really sure its just for the money. The world already witnessed how great they are in there passion, there’s nothing to prove between both of them.

Definitely, the promoters of this match will only be after for the money, even the fighter themselves will allocate the money received as per their own agendas. They are popular at their own sport but fighting inside the ring using the rule of boxing is somehow unfair to one fighter. So yeah, this is just for the money and fame, nothing more.

Crossing is more for the money but were up to see which is better though. There seem to be a competition which sports has the hard puncher, I think Ronda Rousey teased Floyd back when she was still on top and then Mcgregor step in to challenge Floyd and all the thrash talk follows making the hype. Its fun.

There is not much hype for Pacquiao. No thrashtalk for this guy so this fight is close to never happening at all.

I think it's the other and it's the match that's no hype or it's just because that we're still in the pandemic and that's why the match is still unknown if it will continue.

I'd like to see this fight so Conor will just stop boxing with the pro and just stay on his craft.

[Clement Kaliyar]

Crazy numbers. But maybe due to the fact that the audience is starving for the spectacle (due to the covid epidemic and the ensuing recession in the entertainment industry) they will receive this money. I'd love to watch Connor get beaten, but in fact, such show-fight fees are disrespectful to athletes who fight in normal battles for normal titles but get much less.

If Conor McGregor gets beaten again he will find excuses on how he lost the fight, injury, lack of motivation and so on. He was hyped and jumped to boxing and fought just for the spectacle and the big money and he earned that. If Conor wanted to fight Manny he needs to convince Dana White first and i do not think they are in good terms after the DM leak by Conor.

It was always been that way, boxers now value more the money than their reputation, Pacquiao is known as a great fighter, a hall of famer and possibly the greatest of all for some people but he still choose to fight  Conor McGregor that it might affect his reputation, you know how it's justified by him, he says the proceeds will goes to the donation of the people suffered due to the covid-19, then people stop criticizing him.

Boxing matches nowadays are different from glorious matches from the past, boxing is now slowly taking different path. Will not argue with that fans will still love to see this wild fight it gives them more excitement in different level.

WHO WOULD EXPECT THAT FROM ONE OF THE HALL OF FAMER?

I think no excuses will work anymore. In fact, Conor is a waste material for both UFC and boxing. I think he is well aware of this, so he is only trying to make as much money as possible while he is interesting to at least someone. I wonder in what area he will work after he finally retires from the fighting.

Lol, it was really Floyd who started this all, first he fought a Wrestler, then a UFC fighter and all of that brings money to him.

Easy money for him but it's not possible for him if fans didn't love it, so it could be different in today's era but fans supports what they love, that's why.

You guys need to show some respect to Conor. He has a terrific MMA track record. He has 22 wins from 26 fights to his name. It is true that he lost against Floyd in 2017, but then boxing is not his core domain. He was brave enough to accept a challenge outside his core domain. Will Manny or Floyd do something like this? Floyd previously tried his luck with WrestleMania, but he never participated in MMA.

They are blind fans of Mayweather or his opponent. In any case, they are not real fans of their sports. If they are fans of boxing I doubt they will be happy seeing their undefeated legendary idol fighting against a UFC fighter with no serious background in boxing. If they are really treating boxing, its players, and their reputation seriously, they wouldn't be supporting one of what could be considered a great boxer fighting the Big Show.

This is the same with the possible fight between Conor and Manny. Even if I am a fan of both, I am not happy with them meeting inside the ring. They are just making boxing as a joke.

Almost everyone knows that Conor holds an unbelievable and terrific record in the MMA. Unfortunately and fortunately, he chose the path that would increase further the numbers on his bank account. But let's face it, although boxing is a sport, it is also no less than a form of business for the players. Hell, if I were Conor, I would actually fight the people's champ just for that quick cash and I would be settle for life!

There are fighters which do really had that goal or mindset to make more money no matter what ways that must be done even though this is already going outside of the scope of his profession yet we know that making or settling up fights on different sport rules is totally a mess up and making out exhibition matches?

Its clear as day that both boxers/fighters and management is just trying to make money which we know that sports is considered business and it doesn't matter if fans do love
on what you had done or hate it.

You would really be expecting these exhibition matches came from hall of famers yet that will surely make some hype which means more money to generate from.

They've seen maybe that the pandemic affects both viewers and gamblers to bite with this fight so they ain't pushing it that much, they are looking for more money.

If fans will not talk about this then there's no money around, knowing that this is just for entrainment, can't pushed it without big money.

In some circumstances there are people who will continue to wait for this call, if the
announcement of the dates fight will be push, we don't anything but to wait.

Manny Pacquiao Confirms Fight With Conor McGregor Next Year


This is happening next year according to Manny.

Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao confirmed he will fight two-time UFC champion Conor McGregor next year.

Pacquiao's aide, Jayke Joson, released a statement saying the bout will take place, with part of the fighter's earnings going to COVID-19 relief in the Philippines.

"For the sake of all the Filipino Covid-19 victims, Senator Manny Pacquiao will be fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor next year," Joson said, per ESPN Ringside. "The huge portion of his earnings will proceed to those who are affected nationwide by the pandemic."

This years update in this thread is only about more on speculation and a little update regarding the fight as they don't need to hype it much since Manny have already agreed about this fight. For now, if they are aiming another fighter for their professional fight, they can do but next year is next year.

According to some news I have read, the Manny Pacquiao vs Conor McGregor battle will be held early January 2021 in the Middle East.
There is no official news yet, but I believe many boxing fans are looking forward to this fight. Although this battle was only entertainment,
not a title race, but very interesting to watch. Moreover, Manny Pacquiao has very many fans from all over the world, should this fight be hype.
Let's just wait for updates regarding this fight.

Who would say that this wont really make out some hype? Knowing that two hall of famers on each sport would clash out? This isnt counted though but only some exhibition match.
Some say that its a bullshit fight and nothing interesting since its clear on whose gonna win and some say that they would watch this interesting match but we cant really
deny that Pacquiao would have this fight and as part of business then its just normal that this will make some nice cash flow in both promoters and fighters.
well this is entertainment so it should be expected.

[iTradeChips]

I know many are saying it is entertainment and has no title to fight with. But this is like some sort of what if scenario that started when Mcgregor fought Mayweather a few years ago. I would even be impressed if this match is some sort of charity event that would benefit some charities and they will help those in need, then I am all eyes and ears on this exciting match. Many are trying their best to stay sane and composed this time of pandemic but watching them fight would be a good morale booster for many in the form of boxing entertainment.
