Will the public be fooled twice? Pacquaio vs McGregor

[Steveh583]

people pay to watch KSI fight, of course it will sell

[Flump]

Yeah, but Manny seems to really have gone soft in his later career, I've not seen the Mathysse fight, but he seems generally to have lost the appetite for hurting opponents a long time ago.

We can only hope that McGregor sodomises his wife/sister/mother/all three, and brings out the devil in him.

Or some cynics have suggested that it was around the time Mayweather was giving him a hard time over PED's, possibly causing a rethink over his conditioning habits.

Possible, but also possible a combination of age, and a lack of anything much to prove robbed him of it.

Impossible to be certain, but he's scored one stoppage in 11 years.

Yeah fair point.

I knew the last one was a farce and I bought it and enjoyed it.
I know this one will be a farce, but I'll buy it and (hopefully) enjoy it too.

What on earth did you enjoy about it?

Has moving to wales made you glad for any crumbs of entertainment you can find?

That and the free money on offer.

Yes, the public are there to be fooled many times over.

[tonyevs]

How much money does McGregor want/need?

He apparently earned £66million against Mayweather; why would he need to embarrass himself and destroy whatever reputation as a fighter he has left?

Pacman could easily finish him in less than 2 minutes. But he will probably do as Mayweather did and try and make it a show for the fans.
I am not sure he would be able to carry McGregor for 10rnds though .. he would practically have to hold him up.

[Wee Tommy]

I'd rather pay for this than whyte v povetkin 2

Exactly, I don’t know why people are bitching about this. A chance to see Macgregor obliterated is always worth some of my time.

humans have a drive to accumulate cash , even if they already got absolute loads of it

its not even about what you can buy at that point, more like power/ego/social status etc....we are just drawn to dat dough bro

[tonyevs]

Yes - I'd have to agree. Sometimes we forget these guys are pugs .. successful because of their knuckles and fists - not their intellect and cognitive abilities

[whiskey]

Hope pacquiao gives him a whooping for a "proper 12" rounds - with a stoppage in dying seconds.

McGregor certainly has that Eubank quality where many people tuned in hoping he would lose

I only came into this thread to make a similar pun, ffs

[gregregegg]

IF they are going to make boxing ufc cross overs, you have to make the UFC guy wayyy bigger to make it interesting... Like connor vs inoue... @168lb.....

Great minds etc

[Coco]

While most will be pleased to see McGregor beat up, and he is happy for the cash, these are horrible match ups, its like sticking Pac in against Joshua or worse

He got old and slowed down, and clearly lost his youthful mean streak. He has been competing at a very high level these last 11 years, against opponents who generally don't get stopped. He's scored plenty of KDs against these guys.

so did i , went round me brothers about in 5 in morning after kipping the saturday got on it sunday morning ,we knew what we were getting, a show , i enjoyed it aswell , aint gonna lie i like mcgregor as fighter watching him progress up to the ufc , look i am london irish in my 30s now i think he has given alot pride to kids in london from a certain backround i remember my nephews nieces were asking are we irish , i used hear kids on street talking about did you see mcgregor.he is the jack charlton of fighting in ireland, yea than he went and seemes to have threw away

[SAPFO]

I had a guy tell me Connor will kill MP. “He much bigger, and has more powwa!”

I’d advocate that guys execution. I struggle to live on earth with these kind of people.

[milpool]

I wasn’t fooled the first time, mainly down to being completely smashed come fight night and falling asleep on the sofa. I haven’t even seen Mayweather/McGregor all this time later.
However, I would watch this if it actually happens. The thought of Pac swarming all over that overrated toss pot is well worth the £25 it’s likely to cost.

[Ruthless-RKO]

A fight with McGregor, according to Pacquiao, would require the involvement of his promotional company, MP Promotions.

He also denied having an agreement with Paradigm Sports Management, who guide the career of McGregor. The eight division champion has now formed his own management company, Pac Sports and Entertainment.

"At the present time, I do not have an existing management contract with Paradigm Sports Management. I have formed my own company, Pac Sports and Entertainment, and am more than willing to give the fans what they want: An exciting fight with Conor McGregor under terms and conditions where I am the co-promoter with my company. Thank you and God bless," Pacquiao told The Daily Mail.

[black panther]

Mcgregor is more similar in size to Canelo; wonder why he isn't calling him out?

[Cholo_cws]

So the fight would likely make it two years since Pacquiao had a 'real' fight and people here are all for it. I don't get it.

I think he’s given enough to the game to deserve a cash grab

Fans aren't usually that magnanimous....they weren't with Mayweather and McGregor. Pacquiao's a current world champion who hasn't fought for nearly 15 months and people are happy to see him in a 'testimonial' fight. It just really surprises me.
