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.

Let's cover some off-topic discussions here with this recent news:

Manny Pacquiao signs with Conor McGregor’s management firm

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.

But I agree with UFC big boss Dana White here that McGregor should deal first on the octagon on his next match rather than push for the Pacquiao fight. I like to see McGregor too on the octagon as he is now on momentum after his last win. His next match should be a rematch against Khabib and that's what I'm waiting for. Although Khabib should win first on his upcoming in April to increase the chances of having a rematch with McGregor.

Lol you guys still saying that all he does is run.  I dont think you have knowledge of how boxing should be fought.  I guess it would be more exciting a backyard brawl that lasts 10 seconds until someone is knocked out.  Go to youtube and watch those fights, boxing is for professionals not just street fighters.

Well others may not like the style of boxers who run, but definitely if you are a fan of the sweet science of boxing, you will appreciate it, so to each its own. But majority wanted a brawl, toe to toe, fight of the year candidate boxing match. But Floyd Mayweather is retire so I think we shouldn't insert his name in the discussions, just saying.
Agree though, and besides Manny Pacquiao have already affiliations with Mayweather now and they support each other. So there's no need for us to discuss them since they have good terms.

And about McGregor-Pacman, more likely it's just a show for me but still many people will bite on this event. But on my side, I hope Pacman chooses a specific job if he will just a boxer/businessman or a senator 'cause it's weird, he's gaining money from the people and his passion.

So you can't blame Floyd if he's running the whole time and wanted to defend his champion title. Still, it's very disappointing to see that kind of playstyle.
No one has to be blame, they are fighting to put a show but people are expecting that is less likely to happen.
In this fight, Floyd was the favorite so many expects him to win and it so happen, and when Manny lose they'll want a rematch to have another shot of beating Floyd which I think again will not likely to happen but I would still beat on Manny, that's how bias I am.
Like what I've said, people are looking for a best fight, so many are disappointed and hated him for his actions on that match. That's why Manny Pacquiao gains the trust of all the viewers on that fight. No one really likes the strategy of Floyd used on that fight, even a fan of him.

The perspective of a normal person, can see him as running boxer in the whole fight but technically, he is just defending. So what's the difference between that, defending the whole time and just punching if there are open spots, that's lame tho. Anyways, title and the money are more important unlike in the past years of boxing, literally a brawl.

If given a chance to pursue this fight big chance that same scene  will happen Mayweather will continue to run and avoid any possible big punch from Manny and wait till the deciding bell rings up and announce the winner.
Big chance? I am not a full time gambler, but I will bet, that's surely will happened without any zero doubt. Boxing has a lot of strategy I just dont really like how Champion floyd style of fighting (defense running, avoiding whatever dodgy move he has). That's a hundred percent statement. Technically he won their fight so we need to accept but still cant accept his the best. 100% No, period. Anyway, this fight being raised by Pacman and Connor would be match more interesting. If given chance I would buy ticket to watch it Live if this will push through. Match worth wasting some money.

That's the reason why Floyd keeps running, he can be easily knocked out by Pacman once received a power punch from Pacman's left fist.
Floyd has been running all his life as a boxer and that's his style we can't change as he master the running. lol

So you can't blame Floyd if he's running the whole time and wanted to defend his champion title. Still, it's very disappointing to see that kind of playstyle.

That's the fans loves to see, some actions between the two but unfortunately Mayweather have a working strategy where he keep banking his winnings.

Actually there's a lot of sources that tells a different story, and it's understandable that if you are a pacman fan, you'll be bias sometimes.

I saw this video in youtube and it's telling Manny beat Floyd.  

Why Pacquiao Beat Mayweather (60 FPS Landed Punches Count | Remastered) #MayPac2

Compubox, and I'm not really a fan of either just people that are knocking floyd and saying he just runs has no idea about boxing.  I still havent heard one reason why pac won just that floyd runs

I haven't continued scoring the Pac vs Mayweather fight due to my ppv unstable connection that time. But as far as I can see, it was Floyd who dominated Pacman. Floyd was fighting defensively but was landing more punches too than Pacman. Pacman's right shoulder injury did some damage but it was his team to be blamed by convincing the star to go on with the fight schedule despite Roach insisting it.  
Well technically, Floyd really won the fight.
I'm a Pacman fan and considered Floyd as the winner, he played defensively 'cause he knew that once Pacman throws his punches and Floyd received each of it, he's in danger. That's the technical part of this fight.

You can't consider Floyd's strategy at that time as a dirty technique since he played fair but...
as expected in a boxing fight, it should be a brawl right? So, many people are disappointed in what's happening and wanted Pacman to be the winner. So in the end, Pacman became the People's choice since he really wanted to knock out Floyd but keeps running the whole fight. That's the reason why Floyd keeps running, he can be easily knocked out by Pacman once received a power punch from Pacman's left fist. So you can't blame Floyd if he's running the whole time and wanted to defend his champion title. Still, it's very disappointing to see that kind of playstyle.

Without his permission it would not be possible, they did that for the money, they don't want to disappoint the fans and it's the biggest payday of Pacman so they are taking advantage on it despite knowing the fact that Manny can't give his 100% in the fight.

Why is it the style of Money is still a big deal. His records and numbers won't lie and that's why he still doesn't have any loss. It's annoying but it's effective with his fighting style. I know it that I'm not the only person that doesn't like Money but we can't deny that his style brought him to fame and riches.

But judges can lie you know.   There are fights where Mayweather would have been lost but ended winning because of judges' errors, though we can't blame them since they are only human plus age make them see the other way around sometimes.
It happens to any sport but winning all of his matches and having no lose, that's incredible to be honest.
Again you dont win boxing matches with style points.  You might not like how floyd boxes and that's fine, but he clearly put a clinique on pacman.  It's not even really up for debate....based on the "hits".
This is exactly what I'm saying. It is undeniable that Money plays fair and that's his style. And a rematch wouldn't matter anymore, Money can win again or lose but he doesn't care if that happens. Let's go back to the main topic of this thread about Conor and Manny.

Boxing IS a defensive sport.  And by saying people dont like watching his style, then riddle me this genius, why were his fights so highly watched and his some of the most highest paying fights ever.  Just because people like to think boxing is like watching a rocky movie doesnt mean it is...

Defensive and offensive I think.. Let's just say people are fond of watching boxing. Highly anticipated? Did you ever watched the fight between Floyd and Pacman? Have you noticed the fight got trending after the results that many claiming it should be Pacman the winner based on the hits. Anyway, hope they can get a rematch and let Floyd prove how  a boxer should fight, not hide and run. That's your opinion and for me, his fighting style isn't the best in boxing world.

Yes I watched the fight as with most of moneys fights.  Here are the sheer numbers for you

Jabs:
Floyd
Landed - 67
Thrown - 267
Percent landed - 25%

Pacquiao
Landed 18
Thrown 193
Percent landed - 9%

Power Punches

Floyd   
Landed   81   
Thrown   168   
Percent   48%   

Pac
Landed 63
Thrown 236
Percent 27%

Total Punches
Floyd
Landed   148   
Thrown   435
Percent   34%

Pac
Landed 81
Thrown 429
Percent 19%

Again you dont win boxing matches with style points.  You might not like how floyd boxes and that's fine, but he clearly put a clinique on pacman.  It's not even really up for debate....based on the "hits".

When it comes to the decision, only the judges can have the final say and they declared Mayweather as a winner, so let's respect that.
Many might have think that Manny won the fight but you also have to look at the other side, for sure many are also convince that Maywather won the fight. I, personally is a fan of Manny but I believe Mayweather clearly win the fight, disappointed? I am, but I accept the fact and move on.

All I read is everyone knocking Mayweather's style.  Sorry but that's boxing, there is defense to it.  You can ask any major boxer or boxing analyst and they will tell you money is one of the best pound for pound boxers to ever live.  He doesnt run in the ring he wears people down, this isnt WWE where it's pure entertainment  Roll Eyes

Yeah maybe that's boxing for him defense alone. But everyone loves a good fight, why do you think the fight conducted on a huge arena, if the boxer care only of the results why should have an audience since judges are only three? Manny's game is kinda impressive than moneyman, how can you say, his the best pound for pound best defensive boxer maybe but best of all? No, even Conor much better for me than this moneyman guy who only fight for money and no balls to fight with style. His style maybe effective but not for everybody (MAJORITY)

What are you even talking about?  How can I say is is one of the pound for pound best boxers ever....because he is.  Did you just mention connor and money in the same boxing sentence?  Boxing IS a defensive sport.  And by saying people dont like watching his style, then riddle me this genius, why were his fights so highly watched and his some of the most highest paying fights ever.  Just because people like to think boxing is like watching a rocky movie doesnt mean it is...

Pacquiao is a boxer and a fine one, on the other hand Conor is a complet mix martial art artist. Conor can defeat anyone in his world but defeating a fine boxer which is not conors cup of tea is not going to last long.

I think we will see the same result like we have seen against money Mayweather. If this box really see a reality then my horse will be Pacquiao.
Agree but most of the time the goal for this kind of match from different sport was just entertainment and money. Both of the athletes are already doing a good job in their own sports.

For sure these two athletes will make a lot of money even if they win or lose the fight the only thing is the title that they will be going to get in the end.
