Joe Rogan: UFC is trying to set up Pacquiao vs McGregor

That's a very good point. IF this is a Zuffa Boxing Promotion though, they'll probably persuade Pacquiao to come up in weight so Conor can make it.

Dana White is gonna have to dish out big money. Im almost certain this is going to be a Zuffa boxing thing, why else would Pac sign with an MMA agent who is close to UFC?

This is a big signing, it reminds me of how Bob Arum got into boxing, he got an aging Muhammad Ali as his first fight to promote and now he is the longest reigning and most prolific boxing promoter at 88 years old with Top Rank.

All it takes is one big name boxer and whats good here is Pacman is still top level even at 40 he aint like a washed up Roy Jones Jr.

only downside is Pac could age over night. So they gotta be careful on how they structure a contract with him. Maybe they let Pac take TRT? give him that USADA pass like they gave Jon Jones?, dam imagine Pac on TRT again? it would be like TRT Vitor.
 
Artem will be making Conor do the chicken dance when Pacman is done with that chin

Quiet the opposite they both have the sports agency telling them, their fight will be staged to make both look good

You think Pacman, the most respected filipino and one of the most respected boxers on the planet, near presidential status, is going to play nicey nice with Conor in there? lol

He doesn't need the money.

He'll break Conor in the opening rounds and he'll never be the same.

This is arguably the dumbest the decision the ufc/Conor could come up with. He is going to get beat up and beat up badly. Floyd is a better boxer than manny imo but manny throws fricken bombs. Crack conors chin and a his marketability all at once

Manny is way smaller than Conor. Conor has atleast 30+lbs on him

They will be a lot closer on fight night and Manny fought and beat much larger men than himself with blinding speed and near heavyweight power.

He's one of the hardest p4p punchers on the planet.
 
What ever differences there was between WWE and UFC seems to have completely disappeared .
 
it's super neat that McGregor can straight up start his pro boxing career against the consensus #1 and #2 welterweights in boxing a decade earlier. Homie don't need no warm up!
 
The Cerrone fight was just a cheap con to improve Conor's name so he could get a big money boxing fight again.

Will the CTE be worth it?

Conor's next fights:
Conor vs Pac - 1.5m+ PPV
Conor vs Khabib - 2m+ PPV
Conor vs Mayweather -1.5m+ PPV
Conor vs Nate/Masvidal - 1.5m+ PPV

The problem is there are no wins in there. He wont beat Pacquiao. He probably wont beat Khabib. He wont beat Mayweather and he would beat Nate and probably lose to Masvidal.

The Khabib fights diminished after he loses to Pacquiao. But if he then loses to Khabib again the Mayweather fights an even bigger joke.
 
Manny will put such a fast pace and pressure on Conor. Would end in 3.
 
No thanks.

And for the people saying Manny is old and washed up, have not been watching him or watching boxing lol. Last few fights he has looked good, still very very fast, his hand speed is still epic, yeah it might not be the same at 40 than he was at 28, but he still has super fast and slick hands. Should never be sanctioned.

Yeah he doesn’t need the money yet he signed with Connors agency? Why else did he sign there?
 
Oh for Christ sakes. UFC looking like thirsty, desperate morons again. Boxing only I assume.
 
Please no more stupid fights.

He'd still be getting the highest payday of his career to beat a complete chump. Who wouldn't?

Joe hinted that Zuffa Boxing wanted to do something big at the end of the year. He also thinks Manny smokes Conor... which is crazy. Dude is like 5'4

People here get dumber by the second, it's like cancer or something it just spreads.
