Conor McGregor said he's in talks to box Manny Pacquiao, and a prominent boxing reporter says the Filipino is interested

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.

What do you think on this article?

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.

It's more an exhibition. If someone from one sports tries to fight a top level person in another sport it doesnt mean one person is better than the other in their own respective sport. It's not even close who is better at boxing between pac and conner, conner isnt even a professional boxer. He just makes noise and turns that into money from people wanting to watch him. This would be a silly exhibition at best.

And that exhibition match could shut up this fighter. We all know that Connor talks be he also has a skill in his sport, the time that this topic opened, all I can think is how would Manny make this come true since as his fan, I know that Manny is interested in this fight. You might not be interested in this but for me, it is like LeBron joining a football team, it is an exhibition but as someone that will not be seeing this every single day, we want that to happen, how can he perform in a different field.

Most of the fans that will watch this are the fans of Manny, they want to see how Conor's face would look like by the end of the fight.
Hopefully his face will be look like the face of Margarito so he will stop his stupid idea of challenging well respected boxer, and hopefully he will be so aggressive like his style with the MMA so Manny would not have a hard time giving him a lesson.

Manny Pacquiao just signed the Paradigm SM, a combat sport agency which has also represents Conor McGregor. I guess we are closing the gap for this fight to happen. Because the negotiation will not going to be complicated since they're both under the same agency now.

Source : https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/manny-pacquiao-signs-with-paradigm-which-represents-conor-mcgregor-2020-2%3famp

This is more hype than It will be substances. Both are professionals at their own sport. It's like lebron james trying to play professional football. It might get some hype but once it comes down to it he really doesnt have a shot. If it becomes an AMA fight conner will wreck manny. If it is a straight boxing match , manny will wreck him. Pretty boringly too

But for me that result is important. Connor is saying that he hit Mayweather many times than Pacquiao did in their last match. In short he is saying that he is better than Pacquiao, and if this happens and we see the results, we could create a conclusion whose really close in defeating the undefeated champion. For me this is just a bridge to what will be the defeat or the down fall of the pretty boy.

Maybe it's true that Conor hit Mayweather more than Pacquiao, however, it doesn't have any effect on Floyd though. On the contrary, it looks like Floyd is making Conor do that, to exhaust him early because we all know that Conor has a history of gassing out in fight.

And we see that it is very effective, many we watch and bought the tickets thought that Conor has a chance in the early stage of the fight. However, when Floyd saw that Conor is tired he took over and won eventually.

Yes, that is true! Despite the fact that we all knew that this is all about business, but we can't also deny that we're riding the hype. Maybe because they knew how to sell the fight by presenting the stat sheet telling McGregor have a shot to this fight. Which I think it was deliberately done before the Mayweather fight.
It was evident McGregor lacks a certain areas to beat a high ranked pro boxer. But, this is the only way to shut this pro boxer wanna be.

Great update mate, now the possibility of this to happen is getting closer and closer and until there's no negotiation on the May-PAC 2, this fight is gonna be the one that would bring big money to Manny. Continue putting more update regarding this fight, good job mate.

Yes, we can now expect and wait for the updates of when will this fight be initiated, upcoming preparations and the agreement of both parties. This fight will be one of the most awaited fights.

Quote

The deal could smooth negotiations for a boxing rules mega-fight between Pacquiao and McGregor, as the UFC fighter told the media last month that talks with the boxer had already begun.

I am glad that what the previous news is really making a progress.

Keep on sharing updates mate!

I am not sure he will be able to survive fighting Manny,.. I watch some highlights on Mayweather - Conor fight and looks like Conor does not play defense, he will be an easy target for Manny and we a possible knockout of the year. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRnfVEL9Oyg)

He's not going to survive, that's for sure.

He got knocked out by Floyd Mayweather, who hadn't knocked a guy out since 2012.

Meanwhile Pacquiao has been stopping guys left, right and center for the last decade. I would be worried for his life if I were McGregor's family.

But it's just another fight to entertain fans and not as serious when two boxers fight. There's no chance that Pacquiao will harmed McGregor the same
thing that he's doing with his previous opponents, and with how he already change in fighting style he's no longer throwing that killer punch that much
there's no serious harm that might happen, enough only to bring enjoyment to their fans around if this fight will happen.

You cant still say such thing before the fight.Yes, we might not able to see or do compare his punching power when his still young but i can still say that
he do still have that solid blows which can TKO opponents.It might not be as fast or strong but still a capable one.Conors life is in danger? Its just too much
for a presumption yet Pacquiao wont really be that harsh on punishing his opponent also why do underestimate much ? Grin

Manny is still champion for the Filipino people and the decision was anonymous and not knock out and I believe he still one of the best boxer in the history of boxing .

Manny is legandary boxer and the greatest pound for pound king who won 8th worth division title, no one could be him on that record, if he is not the best in the eyes of some people, at least he'll be one of the best.

Even he is still older their fast and strong are still enough to knock out the Conor Mc.Gregor.
I hope mayweather and manny have rematch so we can see who is stronger between the two boxer.

Conor is still 31 years old, but Manny just beat a younger boxer, a real boxer which is Thurman, so it's not gonna be hard beating Conor.
While on the other hand we have Mayweather who is as age as Money, this two will fight in a rematch would be a classic match (if Mayweather stop running).

We will never know that until the fight will come. Even if Manny beat a younger boxer before, or even considered as a Legendary, a lot of things can happen inside the ring. I am not saying that Manny might be defeated, but Connor is not a weak man that can easily be knocked down.

And for Mayweather, he is running on his entire career, I don't expect a rematch since I don't see their last match as a good fight.

Based on the youtube video, Connor can easily be knocked down. He is an easy target for the counter punches which specialized by Manny Pacquiao, he focused more on offense which is in favor to Manny Pacquiao. He won't survived after a few counter punches and that will be for sure.

Conor McGregor vs. Manny Pacquiao would be a great fight and most awaited fight if this will be announced to happen. Manny Pacquiao wants to occur in the battle as well as McGregor. I think he wants to prove to everybody that he can fight in boxing. He wants to recover himself from losing to the professional boxer Floyd Mayweather. However, for me, this would be impossible as of now, because Pacquiao is still active in boxing, it is not pretty much like between the fight of Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor, because on the year 2017 Floyd Mayweather already retired in boxing. Hence, the match that happened that year is a promo fight, so as what I have said, Manny Pacquiao is still active in boxing right now, so Pacquiao and McGregor would not be possible to happen as of this year.

Manny is still champion for the Filipino people and the decision was anonymous and not knock out and I believe he still one of the best boxer in the history of boxing . Even he is still older their fast and strong are still enough to knock out the Conor Mc.Gregor.

There is no direct connection to the fight but this deal brings both fighters much closer. Making it easy to form a negotiation about the said fight.

I agree.

This is really something and despite Connor focussing on his UFC fight, I would really wait for this to happen. As these two getting closer, we do not know but the fight is becoming more possible to happen. As you said, the negotiation will be easier to handle. Team Manny has their different plans, Team Connor has his plans too still, I don't think they would be letting this fight hang there. This will not be the end of this, this is just the start.
