According to some sources, Filipino boxing champion Manny "The Destroyer of Asia" Pacquiao (Manny "The Destroyer of Asia)" is in contact with the team of UFC superstar Conor "Mouth Cannon" McGregor in hopes of replicating a "money fight" comparable to Mayweather in Saudi Arabia.
Manny Pacquiao announced his official retirement in 2021, but frequent events and exhibition matches have shown that Manny Pacquiao has never really retired from the ring, including a super fight with influencer DK Yoo at the end of 2022 and the upcoming super fight with two-time K-1MAX champion "The Prince of Muay Thai" Buakaw Banchamek, and there are even rumors that Manny Pacquiao is considering participating in the Olympics!
However, according to his agent, Sean Gibbins, Manny Pacquiao has officially returned to the professional boxing ring and is preparing for a new big fight.
"Technically, he's out of retirement. Gibbins said in an interview with The Ring. "One game that has been talked about for a long time is Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor. It's going to make a splash in Saudi Arabia, so let's get started. That's a great place to be. ”
It may sound like the hype of Manny Pacquiao's team, but in this big battle, they have the most crucial ingredient: a wealthy man in Saudi Arabia who is willing to contribute to it.
Of course, the UFC could be a stumbling block to this plan. They have an exclusive contract with Conor McGregor and are unlikely to be willing to see him boxing with Manny Pacquiao in Saudi Arabia.
In fact, Conor McGregor tried to make a comeback in December 2023, but the UFC said that was impossible. Conor McGregor responded very unkindly: "If the UFC hadn't prepared him for the fight, he might be back in boxing, and he might be legally allowed to do so under the Mohammed Ali Act." ”
Pacquiao vs McGregor, whether this battle can be successful in the future is actually not much hope. The comeback of Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor undoubtedly brought a surprise to fans, however, there are still some unknowns whether the UFC will let Conor McGregor participate in this boxing event, you know, the UFC took half of Connor McGregor's income when it approved Conor McGregor's fight with Mayweather.
