Conor McGregor is prepared to make a boxing comeback if the UFC does not provide him with a return date soon. The UFC superstar has expressed his interest in a boxing match against the eight-division champion, Manny Pacquiao. McGregor has been absent from the Octagon since July 2021, facing a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier.
Meanwhile, the 45-year-old Pacquiao has been inactive since August 2021, when he lost a twelve-round decision to Yordenis Ugas. McGregor was present in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night to witness the Day of Reckoning event.
In an interview with Derek Chisora for IFL TV, McGregor called out Pacquiao and offered to write off his debt if he comes up in weight to fight him in a boxing match in Saudi.
“How about me vs. Manny here in Saudi? How does that sound to you? Wouldn’t you think Manny should have to come up in weight, considering it’s his sport? Would you think that’s what a man would do vs. what a mouse would do? Manny already owes me $8 million via the court of law. He was signed to my management company and didn’t honor his deal. So fight at my weight and I’ll square that bill away.”
McGregor fought Floyd Mayweather in his boxing debut and it became one of the highest PPV events in the sport.
