  • Hopefully it’s just a rumor but if it’s not, Pacquiao is gonna pick McGregor apart and destroy him with ease…

    • Pac man has no chance based on McGregor’s last outing – he destroyed cowboy in a matter of seconds in case you missed it…. he can achieve the impossible that’s why he’s top of the combat sports foodchain.

      • If McGregornis very good in boxing, he would be a boxer. That is where the money is. But he isnt a good boxer.

        • I think you are missing the point. It’s no longer boxer or MMA fighter, things in this world have become a lot more fluid. Lines are becoming blurred, boundaries crossed, rules rewritten…..
          Unarmed combat is the name of the game these days and it’s just the rules you choose to sugarcoat it with that dictate the format

      • Niki, what the hell are u talking about lmao. Do u even listen to the crap ur saying. Pure stupidness.. ur comments r about as dumb and crappy as Mcgregors boxing style.

        • Hey Tony,
          It’s common knowledge that Pac man has been dropped by McGregor in sparring when he was training for the mayweather fight. Can’t see why it doesn’t happen again.

          • Yeah saw the videos so feels like McG has handpicked Pac for his return. We all saw what the crazy school teacher Horny did to Pac

      • Thank to people like you, I will be make an easy money in Vegas. Make sure you make it up with a large bet in Vegas. Unless you are a chicken who says one thing but does not back it up with a large bet.

  • UFC fighters are grossly under paid compared to boxers so I don’t mind these money-making events. From a fight fan perspective, it would be good if they gave it to a more deserving UFC fighter…like Justin Gaethje….but McGregor is more popular and will generate more PPV.

    • Justin Gaethje? Had to google him. For those reading he’s some Blokes been fighting about 2 years, when Kabib beats him he’ll go back to his job in the local steak house. He has absolutely no right to challenge Pac-Man.
      McGregor is a household name that carried combat sports in general for almost then last decade. Money may spent the last 10 yrs fighting big names but running around the ring and not engaging. McGregor goes in for the kill every fight. Put him in against Pac and you have a fireworks display that will stop the world. If they donated the PPV generated they could end poverty as we know it.

    • Gaethje is a human punchbag, my prized cockerel would chew him up and spit him out

  • I strenuously reject the idea of boxer vs. MMA fights because I prefer to watch boxers and MMA fighters fight in their own professions – no crossover fights.

    If a fight occurs, I would rather later read about it in ‘Fightnews.com’ and read the comments of fellow boxing fans.

  • McGregor would hump a water buffalo if he could make money off it. This is getting out of hand! What a joke!

  • If this fight does happen, I hope Manny doesn’t string this fight along and just beats the crap out of Conor and KO him in 1 rd which Mayweather could have done. MMA punching power is nothing compared to that of boxers. Again, Paulie Malignaggi would KO Connor.

    • If it does happen probably just as staged as Mayweather fight. Pro wrestling looking more believable than boxing thee days.

  • This farce it’s highly possible to happen, because both guys are brutally greedy. McGregor found a way to make money staging this kind of sideshow without having the most minimum level and boxing knowledge to compete with skilled boxers like Mayweather or Pacquiao, being the only way, staged.
    Pacquiao doesn’t need to be fighting anymore, but greediness keeps him going and what about an easy money staging this shamelessly farce with McGregor?
    Integrity and decency doesn’t exist, when the thirst for money prevails.

    • These men are prizefighters – since when were Blokes that beat the crap out of others for a living become beacons of integrity for society? They fight to feed their families and their egos. More power to all of them.

      A prizefighter is someone who competes in a contest between fighters for a prize, a sum of money, etc.; for example a professional boxer or mixed martial artist.

  • Preposterous matchup. They might as well make this + 1000000 for Conor lol. I think Manny toys with this clown for as long as he chooses before dispatching this bum.

  • 1/7 is very generous on Pacman. It should be more like 1/100. The only way her loses its by DQ or injury.

  • You must be stupid to pay to watch the PPV. We already know Pacman will knock McGregor out just like Mayweather. I headed to Vegas to make an easy money.

  • Most of the hypocrites commenting on the page today are the same ones that gave Mayweather The fn Business when he fought Connor . Now you have nothing bad to say about pacman “ making a mockery of boxing by fighting Connor! Tell the truth

  • I like McGregor, but if this is a legitimate fight and not an exhibition, Pacquiao can KO Conor any time he chooses.

  • Everyone underestimates McGregors – think about It when he brought out his Whiskey and took on Jameson And Jack Daniels he won hands down – who could have predicted that. He has a sucess mind set – he works within the parameters of exceptionalness – I think the smart money will be on a McGregor win.
