Joe Rogan believes Conor McGregor vs Manny Pacquiao could happen @KnuckleheadSeanUFC commentator Joe Rogan believes a boxing mega-fight between Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao is now a possibility. The potential bout would likely be one of the most lucrative of all time, pitting one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world against one of the most decorated boxers of all time. It\u2019s an event that would be reminiscent of Conor McGregor\u2019s 2017 clash with Floyd Mayweather, which unsurprisingly turned out to be the second most bought fight in PPV history. Putting aside the obvious revenue a McGregor Pacquiao boxing match would generate, there are many hurdles in matching up such huge superstars. That\u2019s irrespective of the fact the two compete in entirely different sports. Luckily though, one of those huge hurdles has now been removed. Pacquiao has signed with Paradigm Sports Management. What\u2019s the significance of this you ask? Well, this is the same management company who represent McGregor. In short, if two fighters are managed by the same company then it makes it a lot easier to put a fight together between the two. Even if it is between stars from different sports. Rogan: \u201cprobably what the UFC wants\u201d The news of Pacquiao\u2019s signing was revealed to Rogan during an episode of his MMA Show Podcast. \u201cManny Pacquiao inks deal with Paradigm Sports Management, who represent Conor McGregor.\u201d The host of the JRE Experience was left with seemingly little doubt about what\u2019s next for McGregor and Pacquiao: \u201cOh, Jesus. That\u2019s probably what they\u2019re gonna do. Manny Pacquiao Conor McGregor. That\u2019s probably what the UFC wants to try and do.\u201d Should the bout come to fruition there will be inevitable backlash from MMA and boxing purists who won\u2019t believe it\u2019ll be competitive. There was similar sentiment for McGregor\u2019s bout with Mayweather, although the Irishman far exceeded most pundits\u2019 expectations after legitimately taking rounds off \u2018Money\u2019. McGregor wants Pacquiao During the build up to McGregor\u2019s fight with Donald \u2018Cowboy\u2019 Cerrone, the Notorious was quizzed about a boxing match with Pacquiao. When asked about Pacquiao and a poster that surfaced teasing a bout between the two at the new Las Vegas Stadium, McGregor replied: \u201cI would be honored to be a part of that event.\u201d He went to say: \u201cWhat a fight that would be against Manny.\u201d Who knows whether we\u2019ll get this mega-fight but after Pacquiao signing with the same management company as McGregor, it\u2019s certainly more likely than it was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
