If Connor Mcgregor wants Mayweather so much, why doesn't he fight Pacquiao?

[DARKSEID]

If he's serious about getting into boxing and fighting Floyd, what about the next best thing? Floyd is retired and Pac is not.

They both fight at 147.

Watching Pacquiao light Mcgregor up in a boxing ring would make me cream my pants. If this fight was announced it's a Guaranteed buy for me.

Floyd can market a fight. Manny can't.

If you're going to do a crossover spectacle like this, you're going to want to maximize the return. As ridiculously stupid as it is, at least Floyd and Conor going back and forth on social media is digestable - Manny and Conor doing the same would be a ****ing train wreck. No one would care.

You don't have to sell this fight. The fight sells itself. Boxing fans know who Pacquiao is. MMA fans know who MCgregor is.

MMA vs Boxing. Ireland Vs Philippines. There is no way this fight does not sell.

I really hate this whole subject but the reason Connor isn't boxing anyone else is because this isn't about boxing, it's about money, and that means Floyd. The dude is nicknamed "Money". He's the one you go to if you want a payday,

[Dosumpthin]

Because Manny PookieOw failed on May2nd and embarrassed himself on the world stage only to make alibis and use magic salt water.


Now that "the Floyd won't plight me" propaganda has been debunked - No one cares about Manny. Without Floyd, Manny was never marketable.


And with out peds, special Gatorade and his toradol, there is a chance McGuzzler over powers the little fella. Risk vs reward.



Slave master Dana White understands this. Floyd is who White America hates. Hatred = profit.

[HanzGruber]

more money/notoriety (no pun intended), plus floyd will and has shlt talked conor which adds entertainment

it would be no fun with conor calling manny a midget and shlt and have manny just nod and smile at him

You're mad if you don't think Floyd will draw more eyeballs, and thus dollars, than Manny.

Floyd is significantly more marketable to the demographic that makes the cream of the profit - casuals.

You're right that boxing fans know who Pacquaio is. Boxing fans are already a given. It's the easy-switchers that Floyd can pull in much more effectively.

Yes, Pacquaio v Conor would sell. Floyd v Conor would sell more. More more more.

He actually might. if you watch the PPV interview on YouTube, he says it around the 1hr 3m mark.

People watch Floyd fights because they want to see him lose against the toughest opponents. Floyd himself admitted this. How much did Floyd vs Berto sell? That was because nobody thought Berto could beat Floyd. Connor has almost no chance of beating Pacquiao or Floyd.

What do you think the fight fan and the casual wants to see, Floyd UD Mcregor in a slow pace 12 round fight he has no chance of winning or Pacquiao breaking him down and tearing him up with power shots.

Pac-McGregor would also be a better fight action-wise.
