Conor McGregor has been busy while he prepares to make his long-awaited return to the UFC Octagon. The Irish superstar was linked to a Michael Chandler fight at the end of this year but the bout never materialized due to issues with USADA protocols. However, that hasn’t stopped ‘The Notorious’ from calling out fighters from other combat sports in the meantime!

During the Francis Ngannou vs. Tyson Fury bout in Riyadh, McGregor had made some interesting remarks about boxer, Manny Pacquiao. The two men were apparently involved in talks surrounding a crossover bout but the negotiations weren’t enough to reach a deal. This led to a lawsuit being served between the two camps. Although it seemed like the two men were engaged in a war of words, Pacquiao recently shared a post on Instagram that indicates things between the pair have now settled down!

Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao may have settled their beef

In an interview with BT Sport ahead of the Ngannou vs Fury bout, McGregor revealed the backstory behind him and Pacquiao attempting to set up a crossover superfight. McGregor revealed that there were serious talks about him and Manny Pacquiao engaging in a boxing match in Saudi Arabia around two or three years ago.

But the fight fell through and McGregor’s management team successfully sued Pacquiao for not following through on the proposed two-fight deal. This led to McGregor taking shots at Pacquiao on social media, where he stated, “Where’s my $8 million from that court case, Manny Pacquiao? You owe me $8 million, Manny.” The voice note by McGregor on Twitter/X has since been deleted.
