Conor McGregor said he's in talks to box Manny Pacquiao, and a prominent boxing reporter says the Filipino is interested

LAS VEGAS Conor McGregor said he has been in talks to box Manny Pacquiao, and a prominent boxing reporter said the Filipino is interested in the fight.

Business Insider attended Wednesday's press conference at the Palms Casino Resort's Pearl Theater for McGregor and Donald Cerrone to build interest in their UFC 246 welterweight fight at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday.

McGregor mentioned that his plans included a return to the boxing ring to improve on his losing record, having been defeated by Floyd Mayweather three years ago.

McGregor said he thought he did well against Mayweather in 2017. "With adjustments, I'd do better," he said. "Now I'd take victory."

Do you think this fight is possible? sure, it's gonna bring a lot of money for both fighters and this should be a better fight than conor vs mayweather because we might see the power of Manny here punish a trash talker conor.

What do you think on this article?

This would be a great match it this fight would happen, Boxer vs. MMA fighter is such a good fight, they have a different style in fighting, well let's see if McGregor can adjust to the boxing rules. However, I hope this will genuinely happen even it is not impossible as of now because Manny Pacquiao is still active in a boxing fight, the fight of May Weather to McGregor before it happens. After all, May Weather already retired in boxing. That match before is only a promo fight for all the supporters of boxing community. and as what I said Manny is still an active boxing player until now so it will be impossible for him to fight McGregor, even if he wants to compete with that MMA fighter, there is a post on the Instagram of Manny way back 2018, posting the McGregor picture with the caption of "Happy Thanksgiving, Stay fit my friend," he posted that because I think he wants to fight McGregor, It would be an exciting fight if that would happen.
