Report: Pacquiao willing to fight UFC’s Conor McGregor

Philippine senator and boxing champ Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao says he’s willing to fight Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC) Conor “The Notorious” McGregor if McGregor’s Floyd Mayweather fight won’t push through.

According to a Bleacher report on Jan 21, Edward Chaykovsky of Boxing Scene said Pacquiao “admitted he’s open to stepping into the conversation if those talks fall apart, but only on his terms.”

“In boxing? In boxing [I would fight McGregor] but not in [UFC], just boxing,” Pacquiao told FOX Sports.

Pacquiao says he knows UFC and boxing are completely different sports, but still expressed his willingness to face McGregor outside the octagon.

“If we are talking about Conor McGregor and boxing, it’s different. Boxing is different than MMA,” Pacquiao said.
