Manny Paquiao VS Connor McGreggor?

[qwertyup23]

in fact McGreggor's match schedule is really busy this year but i also think he does it more for the money than for the passion for fighting, if he decides to face Paquiao in a ring with the rules of boxing he will almost certainly lose he should be able to get him to sign up for a match with the ufc rules

Like what I have previously mentioned in this thread, in a business perspective, this fight would be beneficial to both teams.

I mean, we all know who is going to win or at least have the advantage of this fight. Both fighters are famous on their respective fields- Pacquiao, being the People's Champion; and McGreggor, being the UFC's most decorated fighter. Without a doubt, this fight would garner millions of viewers which should equate to easy cash to both of them.

To be honest, if I were in the shoes of McGreggor, I would definitely push this fight to happen even if boxing is relatively outside my field.

This will be the perfect marketing stunt if McGreggor would want to stay relevant in the sports world. And I think win or lose, he would be able to give people good entertainment value by fighting Manny. I am not sure if there are talks right now, I don't think there are but they should consider that people will pay to watch that fight. As long as they have the time to do all of these considering Manny schedule too being a Philippine politician.

One of the best ways to earn money.

To be honest, I didn't know Connor McGregor until the news of a UFC Fighter fighting a boxer in the ring. That match lit up a lot of people that also started YouTubers fighting each other, even a Youtuber against an athlete. This will not be the last fight that is like this and I can tell that it will not be about honor but about money and popularity.

Pacquiao will not agree to fight in UFC rules he is a boxer all his life and he will face anybody in the boxing industry, he can only make Pacquiao agreed to fight him only in boxing, but before this happen he must beat Poirier this sunday, things will go as plan if Poirier  beat him remember Dustin will go all out to beat him because he wants to even the score between them,

I think it will not change the popularity of McGreggor, he is not getting any younger so fans would understand if he will lose in fights.
By the way Conor is the favorites against Poirier, so he will likely win this fight.

Manny is fully rested now while Conor is actively fighting,.. maybe after his fight, regardless of the result, the negotiation will continue to make this big fight happen.

I'm sure McGregor is going to hype this fight to try to convince people that he can beat Manny Pacquiao just like he did with his fight Mayweather but every comparison points to Pacquiao's advantage over McGregor in terms of skills, experience and power, his chances to win is slim but it's going to be interesting how McGregor will fare to Manny Pacquiao.

This one is different because no matter what words he throws on Manny, he doesn't get anything until they get on the ring. Let's just see considering McGregor's attitude before the fight, he has always some words to say and that would be better than Thurman's taunt when he called Manny Pacquaio Tirex Arms. That same T-Rex arm has caused so much damage to his stomach he felt it after their fight.

Let him talk, that's his way of selling the fight.

Remember, he made a lot of money during Mayweather's fight, trash talking really help to hype up the emotion of the fans, and Mayweather and Conor are both known trash talkers and their fight was successful.

Manny will remain humble but he made sure he is a beast in the ring, and it would be satisfying to see conor getting KO in the ring.

[Kelvinid]

McGreggor will face Justin Poirier by Jan 23, a few days from now. The result for this will help to evaluate McGreggor's capabilities to win for his coming fights and that to assess for Manny as well. I don't think this could be all about aiming for him to fight Manny alone or for money but this just to say he wants to get more attention from the public. I actually say that He's been almost out of this business, I mean, many promising and rising start at UFC/MMA, they are more aggressive and interesting to see than McGreggor inside the ring (no hates).

[pinggoki]

As a fellow Filipino I definitely cast my vote to Manny Pacquiao especially the fight will be in a boxing ring but if the fight will be in a octagon then probably I will go to McGreggor. Still I am supporting Manny Pacquiao if they fight and I've love to see on how my two idols will fight inside the ring. I think Manny Pacquiao will definitely win in this match but I believe McGreggor will give him a good match and a good blow for every round. Can't wait to see this happens.

There is no way Manny Paquiao will fight in the UFC, the only boxer that can fight in the UFC is Vasyl Lomachenko who is having a background in wrestling and Judo. Conor McGregor will be planning to reclaim the title and then have a much bigger leverage when he fights Manny Paquiao and that will be his plan, if the fight is to happen it might happen next year.

People need to stop with the boxer going to ufc.  UFC IS A wide difference of skills.  Ufc fighter in a top boxing match will always lose, and vice versa a boxer going inside the octagon will pretty much always lose. Just like any other sport.  Just because X guy is the top basketball player in the world, doesn't mean he can go on tour and beat the world's top golfers.  Its a different set of skills.  This cross sport thing needs to stop its embarrassing to these athletes

I'm 1000% agree with that. People should stop all these pro athlete vs regular guy competitions or cross sport competitions. Specially in contact sport or sport where someone can be injured due to lack of skills. It makes me sad and angry that boxing match between Mayweather vs youtuber gets more attention than Tyson vs RJJ. The only thing that is ok is "dance with the star" but people managed to get injured there.

All these ufc fighter vs boxer is same intrigue as mathematician vs wrestler in trigonometry olympiad. Both know how to sum, subtract, but only one knows formulas.

Agree into this point!

But when matter is the main deal on here then you would really be expecting for this kind of trend to continue.There might be injuries but that would be less
because they will surely tell their boxers/players that they should limit out their own force to avoid those situations. If we do really tend to see a real fight
and not just trying to pretend to be one then that will really be causing some devastation to those noobs who do jump together with a lion in the ring.
You can see the differences so obviously.

They wont really care on what others would say as long they can make or earn money with this type of cross sports fighting or exhibition then they will push it to happen or to push through even if it would be raining with lots of criticisms towards the event.There are haters but for sure there are fans as well who are excited for this kind of fight which seeing their idols do clash out into the ring and you are right that they would really be limited on giving those true or real punches and you are right that you will really able to picture out on what it looks like on fighting a pro on a certain sport while you are just noob inside the ring.

[mezzaluna]

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.

I am a huge fan of boxing and seeing great boxing fighters with decades of experience fighting amateurs(yes, consider McGregor an amateur at least in the boxing world) is really disappointing and is derogatory to the sport. but I'd still watch the fight though. can't pass a Pacquiao fight especially when he can retire at any moment now due to his age.



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."

I also have heard about news that they were Pacquiao was expecting to fight McGregor EVEN before fighting Mayweather. This much is gonna be better than his fight with Mayweather. Both are exceptionally talented and they have proper respect against each other. They should also talk about the type of match that they will be having so that it could cater a lot of sponsors because some of the previous charity matches are really just matches that just occurred for the fun of it but having to watch Pacquiao and McGregor fight with high stakes, then we should really see some pretty good match.

[TopTort777]

As this all is just about money, will any professional martial artist agreed to do exhibition fight against lion for example? If he would be offered millions. I would have watched this. I’m even ready to buy ppv (if it wont cost more than 50 bucks).

there's should be no argument about that.

But we all knew that if things realted to money matters people behind this kind of scheme will continue to find ways to create more fight like this, they are all going to ride with the same concept, knowing that fans and gamblers will bite this still and money will continue to flow ech fight that they'll be going to promote.

You are right and this is all about money and cant really be stopped once they had finalized for this fight to happen.It wouldnt matter if this one is unfair or heavily unmatched.They can make money with it and thats
what theyre been concerned on and we already had several exhibition fights that already happened and this will continue and cant be stopped.

Even with money, do you think these fighters won't go all out? While money is at stake here, the same goes with their names.

McGregor and Pacquaio are highly recognized. If they are against a non-popular fighter then the fight is total crap.

Though McGregor is known also, but we are talking boxing here.
It is not MMA, so the fight will end just like his fight with Mayweather.
I guess, he knows that very well. Fighting with Pac, the legend, is already an honor.
That's what most fighters were saying after the fight with Pacquiao.
So now, it is how much money they will gonna attract this match?
This is what they will be working on anyhow.
