Manny Pacquiao signed with Paradigm Sports Management back in early 2020<\/a>, with the expectation that \u201cPac Man\u201d would (eventually) fight UFC star Conor McGregor<\/a>. But then \u201cNotorious\u201d got knocked unconscious by Dustin Poirier at UFC 257<\/a> and his big-money boxing match fell apart.<\/p>\n

In addition, Pacquiao kept his signing bonus and moved on to greener pastures.<\/p>\n

McGregor\u2019s team tried to sue the hall-of-fame pugilist and appeared to have the upper hand<\/a>; however, it was later revealed that Paradigm\u2019s Audi Attar didn\u2019t hold a valid promoter\u2019s license at the time the deal was signed, making their contract \u201cillegal.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Now it appears they\u2019ll appeal to a higher court.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Pacquiao said when asked if his McGregor fight was dead (via Covers.com<\/a>). \u201cWe have a problem with his manager, they don\u2019t listen to me. I told them the situation, that I\u2019ve been in boxing for many, many years. I told him I\u2019m a nice person, I\u2019m fair like that, but they don\u2019t listen. They don\u2019t believe me. I can\u2019t tell you right now, because we still have the cases that they\u2019re appealing to the higher court.\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea of Pacquiao vs. McGregor sounds laughable in 2026.<\/p>\n

Whether or not \u201cPac Man\u201d has anything left in the tank at age 46 remains to be seen. The former eight-division world champion, who briefly retired in late 2021<\/a>, returns to the \u201csweet science\u201d to battle reigning WBC welterweight titleholder Mario Barrios on July 19 in Las Vegas<\/a>, streaming on Prime.<\/p>\n
