‘Why destroy your legacy for a bum like McGregor?’: Manny Pacquiao’s coach bashes rumored super fight

It remains to be seen if there are any legs to all the hinting that has been going on about a potential super fight between boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and former UFC champion Conor McGregor.

This all feels a little nostalgic. A few years ago many thought it was ludicrous to suggest McGregor might box Floyd Mayweather Jr. But in August 2017, those who wrote off the idea were forced to eat humble pie.

Rumours around McGregor and Pacquiao facing off were sparked recently when McGregor tweeted in Pacquiao’s native tongue. The fact Pacquiao recently signed with Paradigm Sports Management, which also represents McGregor, also helped power the rumour mill.
