Manny Paquiao VS Connor McGreggor?

[blockman]

I think Many Paquiao is too old already, his last fights wasn't perfect, he lost most  of it. I think it will be better he won't take part in such fights

Not that old for me, only us, fans think that he's old enough to fight. But he himself still sees that he's in perfect shape and fits to fight more fights.
As long as he can still do a match and his body is still in the good shape, I don't think that we'll see him retire soon. He just keeps on saying that soon he'll retire and even his wife told him to retire but to no avail.

I still have doubts whether this fight will go ahead as planned or not. For McGregor, at least for now the priority seems to be his rematch against Dustin Poirier. And from what I have heard, Pacquiao is pretty busy with political commitments. Both the players are saying that the fight may happen this year. But that is a big "may". Until the date is finalized, I am not going to take it seriously.

Connor McGregor has a different playstyle and has been honed to a different level of fighting. Same goes with Manny Pacquiao. If this fight ever happens it will most essentially be one -sided depending on whose game they will play on. Like with Floyd's fight, if boxing is the game. Most certainly Manny will win, but if its inside the octagon, there's a slim chance of him winning against McGregor.

They will be basing on boxing rules as usual which boxers would really have the edge but if it would really be a brawl or mma fight then we know on who would really have the edge
but you can say that Pacquiao wouldnt give a fight even if its on an mma fight rule because we know that stamina comparing to boxers to mma fighters are way too obvious.
Management had already think of this on what would be the rules and as we do all see from time to time in exhibition fights like this then it would really be on the boxing side.
For the winner then no doubt and no questions that Pacquiao will take it even though there are some people who arent interested on this one but the hype for this one is real.

This fight is close to happening. But for when, that's the question.

At 42 years old, Pacquiao still has a long lineup. He should fight at least 2 times a year. But with that age and I think I read elsewhere that after 2-3 fights he will now hang his gloves, (the first count against Broner, 2nd Thurman so 3rd last?). He is still in his shape so only he knows when to retire.

If this fight between Manny Pacquiao VS Connor McGregor is possible. Is there any sports betting platform that will list the said match? Do you have any recommendations? I always thought about participating in sports betting especially with boxing matches.

99.9% of sports betting sites in crypto will surely open a betting for that fight. Recommendations to named a few, Stake, Sportsbet, Nitrogen, depends on your preferred one after doing a quick research about these sites.

I’m not that excited for this match if ever, because I know this is just for pure money and still Manny will win the match so technically, this can be a sure profit for the bettors. If those guys want to make money from us, then its better to provide a real match, I’m looking forward for Inoue or Garcia to fight Manny, this can be more interesting.

Neither myself who is also a fam of Boxing. The Boxing world has turned into something else which wasn't in place when legends fought themselves in the ring. They have turned the ring into an avenue to earn money than giving the best fighter the reputation needed, although, maybe the Filipino boxer just want another moment before his exit: he just want what Mayweathe did.

I think the idea of fighting McGregor came from Mayweather's fight and Pacquiao wants to prove something here. Maybe winning against McGregor will light the heat up against the two facing a rematch before their true and legitimate exit in their profeessions, their retirement.

Are you sure, Pacquiao wants to prove something here? But anyway, this fight will just be another money-making business. And if they want another match - Pac and Mayweather, will still be the same. Mayweather running around the ring. His style will not change. So not worth, I guess.

To be honest I don't see this as an interesting match, because the outcome of this battle is easy to predict. It should have been so easy for
Manny Paquiao to beat Connor McGreggor, I agree this fight is only for the sake of making money. Although many say that Paquiao's old age
has made his boxing skills decrease and there is a chance that McGreggor can beat him. This is not true, because I believe Paquiao's ability is
still better than McGreggor.

Another boxing fight for Pacquiao is not good for him, since his age is definitely old now compared those times he fought so intense. Proving himself isn't practical, because he already done great and maybe the best thing to do for him is just let the opportunity for other boxers who needs money.
If talking about exit, there's no need for another big fight; pacman needs to have a peace of mind and enjoy himself being a politician.

And I think Pacquiao wouldn't want a rematch if they will not be rrady for that. The fact that Manny Pacquiao is the one wanting the rematch means that there is something he can do against the strategy of Floyd Mayweather. I think he's not just wanting the rematch, he's wanting his win against the undefeated.

The truth is even Manny will be beaten or be a winner which I know might be the outcome he's totally wanted to donate some or even most of the winnings for the country. Though still a speculation that Manny may win but no one really knows since we also know how tough Connor is. He may be at his old age as they say but I know he can still groove on the ring and for everyone he will still be the Legend pound for pound PacMan.

In terms of ability it's too obvious Manny is at top since it's his craft and not Connors craft in boxing, odds isn't at Connor's favor when it comes to boxing.

You still have to watch it though, I am pretty curious what happens here because in his fight with Mayweather, McGregor does not get that much damage and the fight was ended in a TKO which is not that exciting. Pacquiao on the other hand have a lot of fights where bruises are definitely a guarantee so this one will be good. I was tired of this McGregor being clashed against boxers but the moment that I saw that he is the one that wants the challenge, I knew that he is a mad lad. Maybe next time, we should see some boxers try to fight McGregor in his octagon just to see the parallels.

[Darker45]

My personal opinion on this match is that this is a total disgrace to the sport of boxing. It makes the world of boxing cheap. It tramples upon the legends of boxing who made the sport what it is today.

Boxing is a respectable sport which is created by real fighters and not just cheap money-makers. We have had greedy promoters and managers behind certain matches but the spectacle inside the ring has always been a story of real courage, determination, talent, and strength.

Manny Pacquiao himself is a boxing legend. I don't understand why he will agree to this joke. He is not bankrupt either to just prostitute both his legacy and that of boxing's for the sake of money. He still has wealth and could make more by facing a real boxing opponent.

Things have changed already, boxers wants to make more money, they value it more than anything else. Manny is a legend but he sees the potential of this fight to make more money that he can use for his countrymen especially the poorest of the poor, and with that reason, I will undoubtedly support him.

Manny does not challenge anyone outside boxing, he was just accepting the challenge, if only Mayweather accepted a rematch, I think this would not happen.

I don't question Manny's philanthropy. But I don't want it to be used as a handy alibi for him to fight someone who is not a boxer. As I've said, he can make an equally big amount of money fighting a real boxer and give all the proceeds to the poor if he wishes to.  

I support Manny as a boxer and even as a philanthropist. But I don't want him to become a joke like Mayweather fighting the likes of McGregor, Tenshin, Paul, and probably more others who are not even boxers just for the sake of money.

What would happen to the sport if promoters, managers, and boxers alike are all thinking of money more than anything else? We'll be seeing more of exhibitions and funny shows inside the ring rather than real fights between real fighters with real talents. We'll probably be seeing more of Logan Pauls and Nate Diazs and McGregors and probably Justin Beibers someday.

I doubt this fight will be like Manny's prime fight when he fought Morales or Barera because he is already at his peak in his career we need to be honest with this but the guy has some never-ending passion in his career because he loves to fight from the beginning until now so this match would be no different than the last time we saw him fought Thurman. I think if he given a chance to Knockdown McGregor, he would not hesitate to do so even in the earlier round. that's just how he fought and we appreciate having this kind of guy in the boxing world.

[btc_angela]

^^ Boxing is business, sooner or later Manny Pacquiao will succumb to this kind of fights because after all he is still one of boxing's attraction, the cash cow. So it make sense for him and his team to accept this kind of fights. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, the money his going to get, the portion will go to the Covid-19, to the people of the Philippines who have been affected, so this is a win-win fight for Manny.

I guess it will be that way.

There are a lot of boxers thay wanted to fight Pacquiao but I don't know what will happen in the next few years since he is closing to his retirement. For now, I would also dedicate my fight to my fans but also maybe to ewrn money for them as we are all needing it in these times.

Exactly, so the "this fight is for my fans" reason is somewhat b***s**t" to me.

No offence to Manny Pacquaio, I'm a fan of his, but everyone is for the money now, he is just one case in boxing, rags to riches because he has the talent, one of a kind in boxing. This is his way out of poverty in the Philippines and there are a lot of boxers that are trying to follow his footsteps.

Also there is the political ambition as well to run for the highest office in the Philippines, so he needs that money to fuel that.

Higher than his position now is probably vice president or max as President.. Manny is not talking about running into presidency and I think even if he has the money, he will no win because people knows he is not knowledgeable enough to run a developing country.

Well, that's the rumor but more likely he's been the one to adjust considering how high that position is, we may never know if he does or not but I don't think he has that probable chance of winning, he's not the favorite in that another court dimension. But I don't think he's that inferior compared to just those alligators besides him in the Congress especially in the upper chamber.

We may not know where do he use those money he won from boxing but I think this upcoming fight on him isn't that huge to fuel his campaign for politics especially the election is nearing for the next year, Pacquiao is a billionaire in our country I don't think that will still make a huge difference if he win this or not.

[kotajikikox]

I was looking for future possible fights in boxing where I can bet and stumble upon this news. apparently, both side has been in talks of possible fights between Pacquiao and McGreggor.

Well this will lessen His popularity if he Fights Connor(manny pacquiao) and also i still believe that He will not facing this one in finality , because he will consider His respectable career than just for Money..

here's a statement from connor taken from the artile

“So I am excited for a Manny Pacquiao bout, and it’s looking like it will take place this year. What time this year, I’m not sure. We’re going to have to have some good discussions with Dana after (UFC 257) and see where it goes,” Conor added."

let Them (Mayweather and McGregor) do it again But not for our Fighting Senator , i have a Highest respect for Him and i want this to preserve until he finally retires .

He will continue to make money, that's what billionaires do, money is power for them, so we don't have to doubt that.

It may not make a big difference but $10 million or more is a big money, of course he can use that in the election but he doesn't really need that anyway as  he is already very popular, if he will run still in the senate, then there's no doubt that he will win, but for President, that's another story.

Nailed it, seems to me you are well acquainted with Philippine politics  .

Families and true friends of Manny Pacquiao were urging him to retire from this sport but it seems that the fighting senator is hard-headed, passion for boxing is the only reason that comes out of his mouth why he can't leave by now.

As a fan the Pacman, i think he should already retire as father time is already catching him, that is evident on the Thurman fight.

But if ever he would fight again, Mayweather or Conor is an appropriate and very healthy opponent for him not Spence or Crawford as it would be suicide to do so.

Sometimes we thought they are too much for Manny, but if Manny will take that fight, we just have to trust him that he can win. He maybe the oldest champion now but he showed heart in his last fight, and that made him win, some people even did not believe that it was a split decision win as they thought Manny won clearly and it should be a unanimous decision.

Well, probably he is waiting for another big time lose before he retires, and at this moment, it seems like it's hard to see that since he is very smart in the ring, he was not as aggressive as before, he fight using his advantage.
