CONOR MCGREGOR SAYS HE IS BOXING MANNY PACQUIAO NEXT & REVEALS SOME FUTURE UFC PLANS
Dublin, Ireland (September 25th, 2020)– Conor McGregor took to social media today and made some exciting announcements of what he has planned for 2021. Conor McGregor announced he will be boxing Manny Pacquiao in the future in the Middle East. Keep in mind, Conor and Manny share the same management company, Paradigm Sports Management. This fight can happen since they are negotiating with the same management firm and ultimately they will need UFC’s approval in the end since Conor is still under contract with the MMA promotion. WBA World Champion, Manny Pacquiao will be age 42 in 2021. Pacquiao defeated the undefeated Keith Thurman in July of 2019 by a split decision and is still one of the top welterweights in the world.
Conor McGregor the 2-time UFC Champ, 32, is 0-1 as a professional boxer and had a strong showing as a boxer in the Summer of 2017 when he lost by a 10th round TKO to Floyd Mayweather. Many boxing experts at ringside said he won 5 rounds against the boxing legend while landing over 100 punches.

I seen your recent comments about your final bout and I am in!
After you fought Pereira, I had requested for myself and you to compete in Dublin. This was back in February when I was working on opposition for my season, pre covid.
Good luck this weekend! pic.twitter.com/Y0hf6Zr7XF— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) September 25, 2020

Here’s the finish of that exchange. Pre covid. Pre retirement.
Never turned down offer of Tony as was suggested at the time. I stated months in advance (early February) that I was not interested in being an alternate for two consistent pullouts.

I was pushing hard for the season.
Multiple opponents, multiple dates offered throughout. All to take place back to back.
Then when covid hit and the talk was that I would have to wait for crowds again, I walked away from the situation. I was waiting long enough at that stage.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) September 25, 2020
Anyway all water under the bridge who gives a fook.
I’m boxing Manny Pacquiao next in the Middle East.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) September 25, 2020
