Pacquiao and McGregor are in talks on a fight next year

The first attempts to organize a fight of Manny Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs) and Conor McGregor were made. Both fighters are now represented by the same managerial group Paradigm Sports Management.

Pacquiao's contract with Al Haymon recently expired. The duel of the Filipino against UFC star could be held next year on the boxing rules.

British promoter Eddie Hearn also has taken efforts of signing a contract with Pacquiao and arranging a duel of the Filipino against Mikey Garcia. Such a fight could take place in July in Saudi Arabia, but because of the coronavirus pandemic plans have changed.

In his last professional fight Pacquiao beat on points the previously undefeated Keith Thurman. Last year Pac Man also defeated former world champion in four weight categories Adrien Broner.
