When Manny Pacquiao spoke about facing Conor McGregor in boxing
While Conor McGregor is itching to box Manny Pacquaio, the Filipino icon is not too convinced of the MMA fighter's chances against him.
During a media interaction in 2016, the former eight-division world champion stated that he was more than willing to take on 'The Notorious' in boxing:
"Of course, as long as it's in the rules of boxing [I'll fight McGregor]. I cannot fight with him in MMA because he knows how to fight in MMA, but in boxing [I can beat him]. It's like, how can you fight the shark in the ocean?"
