Recently I read an article in IB Times, which claimed that a potential fight between Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao may generate revenues in excess of $250 million. This is going to be a windfall for Manny, but I am not sure whether Conor will be interested. Because he is having plenty of options right now. I heard that a number of big names are interested in fighting against him (one name that comes to my mind right now is that of Terence Crawford).
It was posted earlier and I can't find the article on the ibtimes. Conor is a known name and Pacquiao of course as well. $250,000,000 is very likely to make from this fight that they'll do.

Here's the article:

These article writers are really pushing this fight to happen. Yes, it will generate a lot of revenue because Pacquiao and McGregor is a big names in boxing and mma.
Here's another article from IBtimes showing a desperate interest for the fight to happen.
  https://www.ibtimes.com/floyd-mayweather-fights-show-conor-mcgregor-can-beat-manny-pacquiao-2914464?amp=1

The article said McGregor stands a chance against Pacquiao base on the number of landed punch during their match against Floyd.

Please please PLEASE KO him within the first 30 seconds, everybody wants to see McGregor get humbled once and for all.

Please no, 30 seconds is too short for the expensive ticket or the PPV.

Maybe Conor should start seeing Manny's fight highlights so he will haven an idea what he would get comes the fight night.
here's one of the many I found in youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXGmYySBcVE

So as long as he is willing to be KO and be humiliated than good.  Smiley
As a fan of Manny Pacquiao, I'll definitely watch the fight and expect a KO from him.
It would be nice if Manny would really take this seriously, he'll take a $100 million winning then he will an impression that Manny is still a beast.

Truth.

It's going to be easy money for Pacquiao, but it's going to be a tough night for McGregor.

I would honestly love if Pacquiao just goes for a savage KO within the first round, just to show everybody the difference between one of the all-time greats, vs a wannabe who thinks he can suddenly jump into the highest levels of boxing.

Please please PLEASE KO him within the first 30 seconds, everybody wants to see McGregor get humbled once and for all.

Everyone is a fan of Manny especially for Filipinos and this fight is boxing not MMA so the fans will be on Manny here.
In the fight if this will be realize, you'll surely hear the usual cheers from the fans, "MANNY! MANNY! MANNY! MANNY! MANNY! " and that means knock conor out cold.

Plus, Manny was a politician last I checked, I don't know if he still is or not but it really was an important reason why he had that Mayweather fight as well, dude used all that money to get bigger and bigger in politics.

So, I am sure this fight will not probably happen but if they do have this fight I am sure the money reason would be for politics and not anything else, he probably has enough investments and savings to cover all the smaller expenses like salary and car washes and everything, those are easy stuff to pay for, when it comes to politics tho, paying your way in (bribing) always requires more and more money, the more you spend will result with more you further your career as a politician, which means he kinda "needs" money but not in the way you think.

Manny Pacquiao is still into politics. Currently a senator. It is possible that he still wants to continue fighting in order to finance his political ambitions. it is not a secret that he wanted to become a president one day (I hope it won't happen). But I cannot say that he is up into bribery or something. Pacman is a very religious and traditional guy. But who knows.

But hey. I don't think this fight is gonna happen. McGregor is already making big money like 8 digits per fight in mma. And McGregor can cherry pick all he wants. He can fight Mashvidal if it losses to Kamaru, or anybody which is less dangerous than the current champions.



While there’s no doubt that Manny will earn lots of money from this match, but I feel he’s doing it for the fun sake rather than to earn extra cash and reinvest it into politics as he has already made a name for himself and he’ll receive unlimited funding if he chooses to run for presidency. @inthelongrun I believe this fight will definitely take place as their PR teams are continuing to tease this match, and a latest report shows that McGregor can beat Manny and they have concluded this by using stats of Mayweather and Manny’s match.

Well, everyone in the media and personalities are trying to ride the hype of a possible Pacman-Notorious fight for popularity and money. Hard core boxing fans will just laugh at this anyway. It is too obvious McGregor will lost very badly if the Pacman gets serious. I believe McGregor is will managed right now from financial analysts to marketing and fight analysts. A brutal set back from Pacman, and McGregor's market can start to fall. Rather than cashing out another hundred millions dollars. Why not McGregor pick lesser opponents in mma at $50 million each fight. McGregor said that one of his motivations returning into fighting is because he believes that he can be a billionaire in few years. So he needs some wins here in mma and probably in boxing too. He can fight old and past prime but popular rival Paulie Malignaggi in a boxing tune up. Financially, McGregor don't need to cashout on a Pacman fight, at least not right now.       

Of course as boxing fans we really don't want Manny to fall for Conor's trick her. Although it seems plausible that Manny, with the huge money in the table, will rather pick Conor for easy and cool $250 million as reported by media. So it's a win-win situation for Conor and Manny as well. But it will be brutal KO for Conor if he ever faces Manny. So as long as he is willing to be KO and be humiliated than good.  Smiley

Manny Pacquiao is old even McGregor but when it comes to boxing, for sure Pacman will gonna win this fight. I think this fight is very possible since Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor has already happened. That fight between Mayweather and Mcgregor is very amusing and very entertaining.

Pacman's left fist will gonna make McGregor cry in the ring but it still depends if they will fight in the octagon 'cause Pacman doesn't know the strategy on that environment. Hoping this gonna be possible 'cause many people will watch, the MMA and Boxing fans.

The think is, everybody knows that Pacquiao plays up to the fans in boxing fights, so I imagine he might just let it go for 12 rounds just so the fans get their money worth.

After all, tickets for fight would likely be hella expensive, which means that Pacquiao is going to want to give them a short they'll never forget. Although a brutal knockout will never be forgotten, nobody wants to shell out all that money only for it all to end in a couple seconds.

I think that Pacman will let it go on for 10-11 rounds, then we KO him savagely. Then we'll see McGregor boasting about how he survived 10-11 rounds with Pacman and that he'd beat him next time.

McGregor beats the same old drum every time and people keep falling for it.

Suddenly the hype of the Mayweather vs Pacquiao rematch has been replace by this exhibition fight that could possibly give both fighters big money, but fore sure this isn't gonna be the fight that all the boxing fans would love.

they are mixing two sports, and although Conor like a title fight but it should not happen because there's other boxers that is more deserving to fight Manny for a title fight.

Why everyone is falling for this shit? isn't it gonna ruin the boxing industry in the long run if all the stars would follow the same?

That's why McGregor is eager to fight money since it's a win-win situation for him if this fight will be finally set but for Manny  I think he shouldn't pursue this fight since it doesn't give any honor to him since we all know he will easily defeat McGregor since their fighting style is different and he cannot last long especially it's a boxing rule, Mayweather vs Pacquiao will be worth to watch since it will be a good fight between both of the fighter.

Take a look.

A fight against Conor McGregor could generate $250 million and be Manny Pacquiao's retirement party, according to an expert

Why would Manny pass on this when he can retire getting at least $100 million.
Manny always generate huge revenue with each of his match and if this isn't enough for him, he could fight again for the very "last" time with another known boxer or someone like Conor. When we say "last" time, he mentioned it before that he's about to retire.
But then, we keep on saying matches after matches and rumors after rumors of fight for him so I guess I will not believe anymore if he ever says that he's going to retire.

I am not sure with other fights but this fight is going to be a huge paycheck for Manny with surely give him at least $100 million.
The last big fight of Manny where he gets $100 million + was only against Mayweather.

https://www.businessinsider.com/floyd-mayweather-manny-pacquiao-revenue-2015-5
Quote
According to David Mayo of MLive.com, Mayweather will take home between $209 and $210 million and Pacquiao will take home between $142 and $143 million.
With the combination of all promotions with the PPV tickets, he always get that decent profit for each of his fights. Although, with the match with Mayweather we knew it that he got the lower portion because Floyd wouldn't allow Manny to get the higher portion.
Anyway, whether it's bigger or not $100M is $100M and sure it's really a big money for him.

Again, Manny isn't fighting for the money,  Manny Already has it.
[ .. snip .. ]

[ .. snip .. ]

Well, if you look at the way Manny lives his life, you can see why he still needs to keep earning.

He basically considers all of his trainers and team to be like part of his family, and wants to keep supporting them with a healthy wage. I'm not sure how long he could keep that up for if he retired.

I already read that he spends like $500 a week on car washes, so you can only imagine the other expenses he has in his life if he spends $25k a year washing his cars!

That's why he still needs to fight and get more money since he has live up a standard of a wealthy person, and although Manny already established a lot of business but we can't say that all of them are earning, in addition, he has a lot of mansions where the maintenance is high.

here are some new update : https://www.scmp.com/sport/martial-arts/mixed-martial-arts/article/3046155/conor-mcgregor-says-he-was-close-signing

They are all high level athletes and with that comes high maintenance lifestyles that's why we see lots of athlete who even at old age or even at retirement wanted to comeback to the sports because they need money to continue with their lavish lifestyle and Manny Pacquiao is not an exception. Yes, he has tons of money back in the Philippines, but he's also a high profile personalities and people literally come to his house on Christmas for a gifts.

And with the potential huge money to be generated here, it's possible that he will accept the offer.

Again, Manny isn't fighting for the money,  Manny Already has it.
Then why didn't he retired already in boxing?
Manny has a lot of money but he still has the opportunity to make money, and we know his opportunity now very short due to his age, if Mayweather who are already rich and probably richer than Manny take exhibition fights for money, I don't think Manny would easily resist any offer.

Exactly, if it wasn't for money, Manny had already retired at his age now, he is fighting because he know he can still make money and he is still capable, that two things should go together. The world of boxing is a a world of entertainment, we don't have to listen on what people are saying because everyone has a price.

Well, if you look at the way Manny lives his life, you can see why he still needs to keep earning.

Although I believe in Pacquiao's speed and power, the age gap of almost 41 would be a hurdle to Pacquiao's possible victory. The energy and speed, and most importantly endurance, is just not the same as those golden days. Connor Mcgregor may have the higher chance, but would still be an interesting fight. The odds might be greater with McGregor as he is the underdog.
