FREDDIE Roach doesn’t see any problem if Manny Pacquiao steps on the plate and fight Mixed Martial Arts superstar Connor McGregor if Floyd Mayweather doesn’t agree to take on the lucrative bout.
Provided of course, everything will be governed by boxing rules.
“If it is a boxing match and they sanctioned the fight, yes we’ll fight him,” said the 57-year-old champion trainer on Tuesday in his first ever personal apperance in the weekly Philippine Sporstwriters Association (PSA) Forum at the Golden Phoenix Hotel.
“I haven’t talked to Manny about that yet, though.”
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum earlier said on TMZ that if the McGregor-Mayweather fight doesn’t push through, he’s inclined to have Pacquiao face instead the biggest draw in the MMA today.
McGregor already signed the contract for the Mayweather fight and has been issued a license by the Las Vegas Athletic Commission
Floyd Jr. though, hasn’t signed his name yet on the dotted line, but has already advised his team to get ready.
