"At the present time, I do not have an existing management contract with Paradigm Sports Management. I have formed my own company, Pac Sports and Entertainment, and am more than willing to give the fans what they want: An exciting fight with Conor McGregor under terms and conditions where I am the co-promoter with my company. Thank you and God bless," Pacquiao told The Daily Mail.

Do Pac fans want that 0-1(1ko);0 action ?

Manny Pacquiao signs with same agency that represents Conor McGregor

Manny Pacquiao has signed with Paradigm Sports Management, the company announced Tuesday.

In its announcement, the agency said he signed because he is looking to "solidify the final years of his boxing legacy."

According to the announcement, Pacquiao -- a reigning welterweight world titleholder, the only fighter to win world titles in eight weight classes and a sitting senator in the Philippines -- and his existing team will partner with Paradigm.

"I am proud to partner with Paradigm Sports Management and am excited for the opportunities that [Paradigm president and CEO] Audie Attar and PSM have to offer," Pacquiao said in a statement. "One thing I want everyone to remember is to always think positively. Never think negatively; that is the beginning of your downfall. Everything is possible."

The signing adds Pacquiao to a company that also manages UFC superstar Conor McGregor. There has been ample talk from both sides about a possible Pacquiao-McGregor crossover boxing match. McGregor moved over to the boxing ring in 2017 and lost by knockout to Floyd Mayweather in the second-highest-grossing combat sports event of all time, behind only Mayweather's decision win over Pacquiao in their long-awaited 2015 showdown to unify welterweight world titles.

On Friday, Paradigm released another statement confirming it can negotiate fight options for Pacquiao.

"Manny Pacquiao and his business manager and legal counselors have assured us that Manny is free to pursue other fight options moving forward and that Paradigm is free to negotiate on his behalf," said Jacie Prieto, head of communications for Paradigm. "His previous agreements have no legal bearing on our future negotiations at this point."

Guys you’re quoting daily mail of the uk

Literally known for fake news

[GBP4LIFE]

Tell em Pac Man lol

[GrandpaBernard]

Give fans what they want

No one wants to see manny fight mcgregor

Mcgregor proved he can’t box at a high level

If manny going to fight a mma fighter pick someone else

[Liondw]

There's no bigger easy money and am easy fight than a great fighter, even in the twilight of his career, taking on a guy who's not really a boxer.
