Conor won't make it if it's boxing, it's a different kingdom for him and he just can't take the people's champ. I'm not belittling him but this seems to be his business today and sees it more profitable than to fight in a UFC match.
Does anyone have an idea why he seems to be looking for matches against boxers? or it's just simply about making money for these matches as he sees more money in it?

It is a challenge to him, I guess. I am not against this fight as we all know Manny Pacquiao also donates for his people after a huge fight. With the current state of the country with the pandemic continuously growing, money is badly needed to support the families affected.

In terms of Connor, I think this will be a challenge and money to him, no other reason. He's already popular with his match against Floyd, he is known in the UFC world, I guess that just sorrounds his goals to that two.

No... not a challenge but money only, if he like some real challenge, he should challenge a boxer where he has a chance, it's his 2nd fight in professional boxer if ever this fight will pursue and he would still lose this fight like what happen with Mayweather. If Manny would knock him out, which I think he can if he will be serious with the fight, I think Conor will taste how sweet to make money in boxing.

Does that also mean that boxing matches like these earn big cash than UFC matches? I guess that would be the reason he's asking for it in the past. We all know he's a hard puncher but I never thought of how big they are being paid inside the octagon, so I thought it is kind of a challenge to him and the money, of course.

This is depending on the opponent, for an ordinary boxer, he would not make much.
We can only compare with his first fight in boxing where he made $100 million (more or less) but his biggest paycheck in UFC is only around $50 million according to https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-246-conor-mcgregor-bags-the-biggest-payday-of-his-mma-career-to-fight-donald-cerrone/.

Just think of this, Conor superstar in UFC, Manny and Mayweather both superstars in boxing.
