Conor McGregor vs. Manny Pacquiao in Middle East? Could be

Conor McGregor tweeted that his next fight would be against Manny Pacquiao somewhere in the Middle East.

Conor McGregor says a lot of things. One of his latest comments might be of interest to boxing fans.

The MMA star and one-time boxer tweeted that his next fight would be against Manny Pacquiao somewhere in the Middle East, although he gave no date or specific site.

Should we believe him? Maybe.

His manager, Audie Attar, later told ESPN that McGregor and Pacquiao are indeed negotiating to fight in December or January but that no agreement has been reached.

Attar said the Middle East is one possible site.

McGregor, 32, is known best in boxing circles for his 10th-round knockout loss to Floyd Mayweather in their massive event in 2017.

Pacquiao, 41, hasn’t fought since he outpointed Keith Thurman to win a welterweight title in July.
