Comments Thread For: McGregor Rules Out Pacquiao, Says Return To MMA is Next

[D4thincarnation]

Nobody made him take the fight.

He muzzled himself.

Fight?

Try circus, show, performance.

Floyd and Connor saw an opportunity to make money of very ****** people.

I find it funny people fell for it.

McGregor doesn't want anything to do with Boxing.

A "small, old, frail, weak" boxer who "hadn't had a KO in 20 years" walked him down and stopped him so chances are any capable fighter is going to beat the **** out of him especially one that can punch such as Pacquaio.

He's had his reality check.

You make is sound like he was fighting the guy on the Quaker Oats box or something......If May was still listed as an active fighter, he still would be viewed as p4p king.

McGregor's words not mine.

Well he wasn't active though he was retired so that's irrelevant.

I'm a fan of Pacquiao's fight, but I wouldn't pay for this farce.

Pacquiao destroys him.

Floyd could get away with it, his fanboys are not too bright and love ****riding Floyd.

Too bad 4.6 Million Pac Sac riders aren't too bright and love ****riding Manny!!! ������������

I mean you've got knees, shins, heels, elbows and all you want to use is your fists? Conor must have felt like a muzzled Pitbull in there against Floyd.

Conor told the everyone in the world that would listen that this didn’t matter.

Hiding behind the whole ‘Conor was limited’ excuse is ******. Conor wanted to box, told us all he’d win by boxing, told us he even was boxing...yeah there’s trash talk and reality, but at the end of the day if a guy agrees and is happy/confident to fight just using his hands, you can’t complain that he couldn’t use anything else once he gets shown up.

His promoter made him one of the highest earning athletes in history in all sports, how is that taking advantage of him? Pacquiao has more money than Davey Crockett. Floyd couldnt even pay his taxes for 2015, had to file a court order to stop the IRS from seizing his assets until he could pay them from the Mcgregor fight. s

Let’s not even talk taxes when mentioning Pacquiao. He will be paying that 75million off the rest of his life. Floyd never had his bank accounts garnished lol

To satisfy the BIR's tax claim, it issued a warrant of garnishment to banks, which reportedly prompted the banks to freeze Pacquiao's accounts. A warrant of levy on Pacquiao's properties has also been issued.

I will appeal to them to remove the garnishment so that I can move and pay for my staff's salaries,” Pacquiao told reporters in his southern hometown of General Santos City. “I am not a criminal or a thief.”

Arum previously donated $25,000 to the typhoon relief effort and said he’d be willing to front Pacquiao more money for the recovery, “but where am I going to put it?”

Thank god. Think McGregor boxing professionally could be quite an interesting proposition in the long run... but not if it's just PPV fights which are little more than a cash grab and a mockery.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

His promoter made him one of the highest earning athletes in history in all sports, how is that taking advantage of him? Pacquiao had a torn rotator cuff and still almost beat Floyd, imagine what he would have done with 2 healthy arms

You’d be in denial to say that Arum really cared about Pacquiao. He knows it and his fans knows it. He went from PPV to fighting school teachers on ESPN.
Knocked out cold 3 times. Lost nearly 10 times. I forgot losses don’t matter unless it’s a fighter you don’t like lol.
Arum treated him like trash and robbed him blind.
Same guy that was hating on the McGregor fight now he wants to copy Floyd. He’s been riding Floyd’s coat tails for years.

When he got beat by Morales
“It was the gloves that I was wearing that made me lose” “ My socks Made me lose”

Horn
I’m OK. I’m OK,” said Pacquiao after the fight. ”I don’t complain, but when I arrived here, I caught a cold. It affected me a lot. There was a lot of blood coming out of my head.”

Mayweather
Three weeks before the fight I got a tear in my right shoulder," he said. "It got better but it wasn't 100%."

“I’m fine. It’s God’s work,” Pacquiao said of his recovery to Joaquin Henson of the Philippine Star last week (via Mike Coppinger of BoxingJunkie.com). “I never saw a doctor. I never did rehab. All I did was to swim in the sea as often as I could. The salt water healed my wound.”

Conor is a standup fighter


You must understand these gloves probably weight four ounce. There's no padding on the elbows, there's no padding on the shin bone, on the foot. It's like going through a car crash - a 5 minute round in MMA. That's why I'm saying this here: this game is easy! I'm telling you right now. I wake up feeling so good...and I'm getting in super shape."
