Manny Pacquiao has already moved on from a Conor McGregor mega-fight as the demand for such a match is no longer there, one of his managers said.

Prior to the UFC 257 headliner, there had been talks that McGregor and Pacquiao would fight but now that the Irishman's lost for the third time in as many years, the Filipino fighter has left the discussion table.

"It looked like Conor looked past Dustin and got knocked out," Pacquiao's manager Sean Gibbons told The Sun. "Maybe he had the Senator on his mind. I think the demand for the fight is not there presently."

The new demand involves non-boxers.

Jake Paul doesn’t deserve the pay day from a boxing match with Connor. If he wants a fight with McGregor, then it should be in the octagon.

Make it a winner takes all fight.

5 rounds of boxing. 1 round of MMA. The end.

Too bad, I would’ve enjoyed Conor getting KOed in the 1st round.

Good, that loss to Dustin will turn out to be a blessing for Conor in the future.

A fight where Paul has to tap out in the first round via submission would be lame as hell.

They are on much more equal footing as boxers and that would be a far more entertaining fight.

Jake Paul


I'm predicting Jake loses to Askren, Billy football beats Jose Canseco which leads us to a Jake Paul vs Billy football fight. I'm thinking that PMT/barstool has enough pull to entice Paul into taking it.. unless Paul thinks he doesn't have a shot against Billy.

He’s apparently going to fight Ryan Garcia

I don't know why Manny would have even entertained a fight against McGregor. The guy lost to Mayweather after Floyd carried him late into the fight and that was his only ring experience in pro boxing. It was a joke when they announced it, but the biggest joke were all the people thinking Connor really had a chance to win.

Pacquaio would make very short work of the Irishman if they stepped into the ring. He has never been a "safety first" fighter like Floyd and goes balls to the wall to win in every round.

Can you imagine the hilarious introduction? “In the blue corner, we have an 8 division champion, 12 time world title holder”. “And in red corner with a 0-1 boxing record”.
