The Irish MMA fighter tweeted that his next opponent will be a Filipino boxer. Recall that Pacquiao became the world champion in eight weight categories during his career, which is an absolute record.

According to Conor, the fight will take place in the Middle East.

All McGregor cares about is money, and this is why the UFC is an absolute joke.

That's why MMA promotions should have a code of honor that the fighters must uphold, or be fired.

Guess he got false confidence after beating up the shell of Cerrone thinking he can go beat up another old dude. This one is going to be a rude awakening for him.

I hope McGregor gets sent to the hospital after Pacquiao destroys him.  He's a disgrace to 2 sports that I love, MMA and boxing.

not to far back pacquaio said he wouldnt fight conor, "why make that fool rich" was what he said.

This shouldn't happen but if it does, then I'm routing for Pacquiao.

Ooops too late pacman, I don't like this fight let him rematch poirier in boxing.
That I would watch neither of them have any business in pro boxing imo. 

This is a step up from trying to get a fight with Diego Sanchez...

Yeah... Whatta mcjoke he's becoming. Woodley and mcnuggets Should teach a class. How to destroy your fight legacy at the end of your career in ten easy steps.

Scum bag dana made McGregor wait for crowds!!!
Scummy greedy mother f'er. Hope Dana's next steroid injection hits a nerve.

McGregor-Pacquiao remains a very long shot despite Conor's assertion

I second everything you said.  
Any mma fighter v. any boxer is merely exhibition, entertainment, and a paycheck.
@fish I don't deny that making money is the end game, but let boxing and wrestling
keep their fixed foolishness and leave mma alone

Everyone hate's on Mcgregor until he fights or boxes then everyone watches if he wins everyone jumps on his side if he lose's everyone talks trash about him I don't get it he is a worldclass fighter in my opinion one of the best to ever do it and to switch sports and go ten rounds with mayweather is pretty damn awesome hell atleast he's trying different things seems like dana not giving him fights so might as well do something .

**** conor mcgregor, hes a low life ************* and a mediocre fighter at best. hes not even in the top 50 all time greats in mma. 

@Tosh

I used to be a big fan of boxing,  but then Floyd Mayweather had to make it about staying undefeated, rather than actually proving that you're the best by fighting the best fighters before they're past their prime.

McGregor vs Tyson

@freemoneyforall

That would be a good fight lol!

But seriously, if Conor McGregor must fight a boxer in a circus fight then he should fight Logan Paul. Think about it:



Both are 0-1-0 as "professionals" so they are evenly matched

Both are controversial yet have a large following

If it ends in a KO then we'd have at least got the satisfaction of seeing one of these morons get knocked out

While it would draw in a lot of casual fans, there is the chance that some of them would then start to take the sport seriously and become more serious fans, which can only be good for boxing



Of course, the only problem is that Conor McGregor is a super welterweight while Logan Paul is a cruiserweight but It's not impossible for them to meet somewhere in the middle if McGregor bulked up and Paul slimmed down a bit. 

To be clear, I don't want to a promotor to read this post and think "That's not a bad shout! Thank you, random pink square on the internet!" but this would be a better circus fight than McGregor VS Pacquiao.

I love the fact that out of all of the millions of pictures available of Conor McGregor, they chose his Mugshot as his Boxrec image!
