Thank you for all your comments guys the latest news posted by Harizen justifies that this fight would not happen so soon, so I decided to lock the thread for now and we will re open it once the hype is back.
According to the article.

LAS VEGAS — Conor McGregor said he has been in talks to box Manny Pacquiao, and a prominent boxing reporter said the Filipino is interested in the fight.
Business Insider attended Wednesday's press conference at the Palms Casino Resort's Pearl Theater for McGregor and Donald Cerrone to build interest in their UFC 246 welterweight fight at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday.
McGregor mentioned that his plans included a return to the boxing ring to improve on his losing record, having been defeated by Floyd Mayweather three years ago.
McGregor said he thought he did well against Mayweather in 2017. "With adjustments, I'd do better," he said. "Now I'd take victory."
Do you think this fight is possible? sure, it's gonna bring a lot of money for both fighters and this should be a better fight than conor vs mayweather because we might see the power of Manny here punish a trash talker conor.

We already saw the potential of Conor McGregor in boxing so I can say that it is not a good fight especially that he unanimously lost to Floyd in their fight. He is a good fighter in UFC but in boxing his chances of winning is very low as boxing is very different compared to UFC but it is worth a try if both parties will agree to the fight. https://www.businessinsider.com/conor-mcgregor-says-hes-in-talks-to-box-manny-pacquiao-2020-1

I am pretty sure that their fans will watch their fight even if it is like a copycat to what happened in Floyd&McGregor fight. With the odds, I am sure that Manny will come on top.
Errol spence is a hard fight for sure, Manny could loss but it's the fight that fans would want to see over another possible opponent which is Mikey Garcia.
Wow, it should be another great night for boxing as most of Pacman's fight are very entertaining.
Manny vs McGregor's hype is now gone, maybe the above suggestion is right.
People need to stop talking this fight up as if it will be something.
And besides, the discussion is going nowhere as McGregor isn't even on Pacquiao's choice as his next possible opponent this year.
"There's a lot of possible opponents, like Mikey Garcia, Errol Spence or Terence Crawford and also there's boxers from Canada and Mexico who want to fight with me.” - Pacquiao
I want to see these names instead of McGregor.

This thread should be lock now, I'd like to see a Garcia Pacquiao match, they are a perfect match Garcia just comes out from a dominant performance against Vargas which is surprising considering Vargas have given Pacquiao a tough time, when they fought it will attract hype and interest if this fight push through.

This will be one of the most awaited fight in the history.
I am not sure it is because people were not asking for it, it just came down the conversation when Conor challenge Manny and we fans would also want this if there is no other fight for Manny that we think is going to be an exciting fight.
The hype would be the most exciting part of this I guess. When conor fought money it was a subpar fight at best and that's because money stayed in it to provide a show. Of course there will be the fools that bet on conor but that is just the uninformed. People need to stop talking this fight up as if it will be something. The Conor boxing fight already happened...why would anyone want to see another?

Exactly, I'm not sure about the anticipation though, I mean we all know that Manny Pacquiao said that along the line that he doesn't like this sort of fight. We want to see Manny fight again though, but with a good boxer, 147 lbs is fully stack up, so there is a lot of challenge for him, just saying.
This will be one of the most awaited fight in the history.

If Manny Pacquiao will fight again, it would be best if Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the opponent, not McGregor. There are many disadvantages to McGregor, and advantages to Manny Pacquiao.
Conor McGregor is in the world of MMA while Manny Pacquiao is in the world of boxing. This fight is a waste of time, what would be the benefits of this fight? only money?

Lol, let's move on, with Manny vs Floyd. Of course, even though that Conor has a somewhat boxing background, he can't beat Manny in his own game. Any sports today are in the business of making money, so definitely, boxers and organisations and managers are targeting this kind of cross over fights to get tons of money from fans all over the world.
But this will turn to be a great fight, and for business of course. This will be one of the most awaited fight in the history.
We know Manny is a professional boxer, a legend, a champion while Conor, he's in different genre of fighting which is MMA.
That's why people believe he will win here easily against an MMA fighter.
But despite of that, he can actually win through numbers and profits of this match so that's why this is a good match for him. I've heard that this match will be for real.
That's what Conor wants, he wants to make this his 2nd professional fight after the Mayweather fight (correct me if I'm wrong).If Manny Pacquiao will fight again, it would be best if Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the opponent, not McGregor. There are many disadvantages to McGregor, and advantages to Manny Pacquiao.

People know that Manny would beat Conor, but for the sake of entertainment, they'll buy on this hype if ever the fight will happen. Of course we all want a Manny vs Money rematch as that would be better than the fight we are also hyping,..lol.. but its likeliness to happen is very slim.

If the fight is going to be MMA format Connor will have a big edge but if it is going to be a boxing match Pacquiao will win and even knock him out I read in one article that Mayweather did not even take the training seriously and yet he won in a loop sided match, what more if he fights Manny.
Manny Pacquiao would fight on MMA rules since hes a boxer then he would have a disadvantage yet he cant utilize on how to use up his limbs and
other techniques which would be needed but somehow it do still have a chance yet we know on how tough boxers are when it comes to stamina.
He do have still chance on winning on MMA but for MMA to Boxing? it would be obvious to tell that chances of mma fighters are really slim.
I'm not sure why so many of you are under the impression that this is something other than a huge money grab for Conor. The dude is milking every dime he can from his fights, as he should. But that doesn't mean he believes he can hang with one of the best boxers in the sport. Mayweather was going easy on Conor to gas him out and prolong the fight. Floyd could have ended it in the first couple of rounds if he wanted to. I don't think Pacquiao is going to wait.

I don't think that is a good idea for McGregor. Manny Pacquiao is a legendary boxer and is very close to defeating Mayweather way back.
In terms of winning chances, it is not a good idea but in terms of money he will get regardless of the outcome, it's a good idea to fight Manny. That's the simple logic I see why he challenge Manny to fight him.

I don't think that is a good idea for McGregor. Manny Pacquiao is a legendary boxer and is very close to defeating Mayweather way back. Having the fact that Manny almost ended Mayweather's undefeated record, that makes the probability of McGregor from winning the match. I would definitely bet on Manny if this would happen. I am confident that I would win if that's the case cause the boxing ring is Manny Pacquiao's element and the octagon is McGregor's which somehow predict who will be the winner.https://www.businessinsider.com/conor-mcgregor-says-hes-in-talks-to-box-manny-pacquiao-2020-1

The problem will be the odds of the fight. I would say you would have to lay $1,000 to win $100 on this. Anything under 10-1 odds is an easy bet on pac. As a matter of fact I hope this fight does go off so all the nutballs out there can drive the odds down by betting on conner.
