    Pacquiao should fight McGregor anyways

    Just because McGregor lost, I see no reason why Pacquiao shouldn't fight him next.

    First off, obviously, McGregor is a Mayweather leftover. 75% of Pacquiao's career is fighting people who Mayweather already defeated. McGregor falls under this category.

    Secondly, McGregor is coming off a loss. This is a classic Pacquiao move. He's always fought boxers coming off a loss, or a bad performance. Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto, Keith Thurman, Adrien Broner, and countless others come to mind. It's very rare for Pacquiao to fight someone that is in their prime or coming off a strong performance.

    I'd hate to miss a legendary exhibition ( started by floyd doe ) just because of a small UFC loss.

    Pacquiao should actually fight a world champion in his... oh wait. He got stripped of his title lol. I think he should honestly retire. A win over prime thurman would be a great last fight to have on your resume. No point fighting mcgregor in an exhibiton

        He should fight. It'll still generate big money, and he deserves a fat check after letting Arum rip him off for IDK how long.

            1. pacquiao and mayweather have 5 common opponents. pacquiao had 70 fights. 5/70=7,14% and not 75%. facts.
            2. i don't care about mcgregor or any exhibition.

                How so? He was 30, undefeated, and what not. Pacquiao was also further removed from his prime

                  The what not is, major surgery that kept him out for two years he couldnt box at all, makes a comeback and is nearly stopped by a B grader that Maidana KOed , prime is your best boxing form not age and Thurman was nowhere near his best from years earlier, he was stale as fck and got another injury during the fight that caused him to have even more surgery .

                  Saying he was prime is total ignorance to boxing, go and read what Roach had to say about him before the fight where he says he hasnt been any good for years and his last fight before Manny he looked like a 4 round boy.

                    McGregor is a MMA guy not a boxer. The only thing fighting McGregor McGregor does for Pac's is to legitimize McGregor vs Froid!

                    I say no!
