Manny Pacquiao teases showdown with Conor McGregor in 2018


Is a Manny Pacquiao-Conor McGregor super fight in the works?

In a cryptic tweet posted by Fighting Senator Manny Pacquiao on Thursday evening, boxing’s only eight-division world champion sent a direct message to UFC World Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor, hinting at a future match-up with the MMA fighter in 2018.

Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38KOs) last fought in July of 2017, figuring in a controversial unanimous decision loss to Jeff Horn in Brisbane, Australia. A rematch was supposed to take place later in the year, but the two camps could not come to terms. Pacquiao is turning 39 years old on December 17.

On the other hand, McGregor (0-1) made his professional boxing debut last August 26, 2017, losing to a former Pacquiao foe in Floyd Mayweather via a 10th round TKO. The fight — dubbed the Money Fight — had an estimated 4.4 million buys in pay-per-view, falling short of the record claimed by Mayweather-Pacquiao that generated 4.6 million buys.

If this comes into fruition, both fighters are expected to have big paydays. as the two are still considered part of the top five drawers in the fight industry.
