Manny Paquiao VS Connor McGreggor?

[FinneysTrueVision]

On Instagram Ryan Garcia is claiming that he will be Manny Pacquiao's next opponent. I don't know if this is true or not. Pacquiao makes so many agreements that you can never be 100% certain of who he will fight next until there is a contract signed and a venue is booked. Ryan is probably not the best possible opponent but it is the fight that will make the most money out of all his current options.

This is what Floyd has to say about the Conor lost:

Conor can not even win in his own sport, but talking about coming back to boxing to fight Pacquiao. Nobody wants to see that, it's like my leftovers eating leftovers."

Typical Floyd though, for Conor, yes the scenario of fighting Manny Pacquaio for the money and fame is over. I'm not interested on this exhibition match on the first place. hehehe.

He has every right to say this. Floyd has remained unbeaten till now and he took on Pacquiao and McGregor when these two were on their prime form. And motormouth McGregor got beaten up a few times in the MMA as well. Anyone remember how poorly he fared against Khabib Nurmagomedov? And what happened against Dustin Poirier two days back? McGregor made a lot of claims before the fight. But he got destroyed by Poirier.

It is just Ryan Garcia's strategy to win the Manny Pacquiao sweepstake  .

With McGreggor's misfortune last Saturday night, the door simply open for those who want to fight him and if Ryan could get the Pacman's nod then this would be the biggest fight of his career, money-wise so i think he would do everything to get Manny's attention.

IMO, Garcia vs Pacquiao is a slim probability, as i have said before, the healthier fight for Manny is against Floyd or Connor.

I doubt that Manny will even consider fighting Garcia, not that he is afraid of young king, but they are in very different weight class. Obviously, even at Manny's age, he is still one of the biggest sweepstakes in boxing today so I'm not surprised that even Garcia is calling Manny.

But just that, he should take care of his division first, fight Haney, Lopez and Davis.

And with this Conor loss, Poirier really derail everything that Conor and Manny is setting up in the future.

The world is Garcia's oyster after his win with Campbell, and I just checked, it seems that the deal to fight Pacquiao was already hinted by Garcia himself in his Instagram post. I thought he wanted a shot with Gervonta Davis, he even challenged him and many seem to favor that Garcia should be on the ring with Davis. This is a good revenge story because Pacquiao made Garcia's promoter De La Hoya, let's see if a Young Cub could take on a Battle Hardened Lion. Regarding McGregor, I think that with his current defeat against Poirier, considering some matches in boxing should not be his priority, he needs the time to recuperate.

Honestly I did not know who is Connor McGreggor and I did not watch his fight before but Manny is one of the best boxer that I always watch when they have a fight that I amaze how is doing well inside the boxing ring and we know Manny is already in the history of boxinf as one of the best boxing in the whole world because there is a lot of title they get and also win a lot from their boxing career in the last decade. I remember when I was a child when Manny have fight people are focus on watching on his fight and not go to the job to watcg him or maybe for the Filipino it is National holiday because of him and the best with that is there is no crime happens during in his fight in my country.

[yazher]

after the lost of McGreggor i really don't think he would fight Paquiao, we've seen how does McGreggor fight with fist I mean Pacquiao would definitely won the match so what would this for? probably a promotion match or just another match to have some money like with Mayweather?

The fight with Mayweather is possible but takes a lot of negotiation which probably will result in both sides doesn't agree with each other because these guys don't fight for glory anymore especially Floyd. They've been in this industry for quite some time now and they already know how the boxing world really works. Those dramas are just for the fans and the real deal is the cash they earn from their fight. If they really wanted to fight they could have done a trilogy if they are not satisfied with the result and as we can see Manny Pacquiao is one of the fighters who do that kind of thing. If his opponent wants a re-match he gave it to them and you really know who the real fighter is.

For you to be interested in this fight more, you should search the name " Connor McGreggor" in youtube, you'll see his highlights and his arrogance inside and outside the ring. Manny is a humble fighter,  Connor McGreggor is not, that's what people want to see but  Connor McGreggor just loss recently, we don't know how people's reaction would change on this particular fight.

I dont think that this fight is going to happen (McGreggor vs Paquiao). This wont be a real fight for all boxing fans. That will be just a fight to let Conor and Manny earn on PPV and commercial. There wont be any real investment in boxing history.

Connor used to be a real MMA champion, but now he spends more time with family, promoting his brand and etc. I might say that fighting for him is on a background (not very important). When Conor was young and hungry, he fought like a lion. Now, when he earn million per fight and promotion, he is more entertainer than fighter.

After yesterdays McGreggor lost to Poirier in second round via KO, Mayweather replayed funny - “Connor (sic) cannot even win in his own sport,” he said. “But talking about coming back to boxing to fight Pacquiao. Nobody wants to see that, it’s like my leftovers eating leftovers.”

I agree, what happen to the Davis fight, the two have been fighting it out on the media after Garcia won against Campbell and Davis himself said as well that he is willing to fight Garcia. So now he is chasing the legendary Pacquiao for the money? There is no story line there, there is no revenge fight for Garcia vs Pacquaio just because he made Dela Hoya quit. If there is a revenge fight then he should chase after Canelo for leaving him with Oscar.

Garcia is so aggressive, he wants to have a big fight, first he would like to fight Davis then Manny Pacquioa next. I think he is just trying to create some buzz online, and that is very helpful on this campaign to reign the division he wants to invade, and that is by beating the best, and with that he will get respect from people as he is not afraid to ruin his undefeated record.

If you were a fight fan you would know about Conor McGregor as he along with Mayweather has the biggest PPV record in boxing history.

I was a child when Manny have fight people are focus on watching on his fight and not go to the job to watcg him or maybe for the Filipino it is National holiday because of him and the best with that is there is no crime happens during in his fight in my country.

I understand the impact he had in Philippines as i saw his documentaries and he motivated many youngsters.

A boxing match is still possible if they can promote the fight properly, McGregor can claim that his leg was compromised and hence was knocked out and in a pure boxing match he will be competitive .

[FinneysTrueVision]

McGregor is still one of the biggest draws in combat sports. His popularity might have gone down but he can fight just about anybody and sell a million PPVs. A fight with Pacquiao is not necessarily off the table but I think it is better if he stayed in MMA instead of taking a fight where he is guaranteed to be knocked out again.

I am also looking forward to this fight really happening. I hope they really fight, not just for visibility.
I don't know how McGregor's confidence will be after Dustin Poirier's defeat and how he will react in the future against Pacquiao
Manny Pacquiao is an experienced fighter, but with a little advanced age (42 years old), I don't know if that will be a problem, they are almost 10 years apart, I hope it is a great fight

it'll affect Pacquiao's reputation if he still fights McGregor whether it is for exhibition match or not. If I am a manager/coach I wouldn't want my fighter fighting a sub-par fighter. McGregor needs to build his record again before he can ask to fight manny again.

I don't know how McGregor's confidence will be after Dustin Poirier's defeat and how he will react in the future against Pacquiao

after a defeat fighter's tend to be depressed realizing all his hard work was defeated. and now with his current defeat, he will most likely perform worse than his fight against Dustin Poirier


I'll be locking the thread now. since the fight is most likely not tot happen further discussion will be pointless. thanks for everyone's input and thought about this fight.
