Conor McGregor’s schedule has been hectic as he gears up for his much-anticipated return to the UFC octagon. The Irish star was linked to a fight with Michael Chandler at the end of last year, but the deal fell through due to problems with USADA’s anti-doping rules. However, that doesn’t mean he hasn’t continued to challenge fighters from other sports in the interim!

During the pre-match media conference for Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou, McGregor made some provocative comments regarding boxer Manny Pacquiao. The two fighters were reportedly engaged in negotiations for a crossover bout. However, the negotiations were unsuccessful, and a legal dispute was subsequently filed between the two parties.

Furthermore, the McGregor legal team was able to win their legal battle, and Pacquiao owed him hefty compensation. Surprisingly, even though the two fighters appeared to be at odds, Pacquiao later posted a post on Instagram indicating that the relationship between the two had improved.

In an interview with BT Sport, McGregor openly spoke about the story behind his talks with Pacquiao. This included a crossover super fight between the two, which was supposed to happen 2-3 years ago. Subsequently, Paradigm Sports sued Pacquiao for concealing a prior management agreement, which made Pacquiao unavailable for the fight.

Hence, since Pacquiao was under contract with the company, they sued him for damages of up to $20 million. After a lengthy legal process, the jury in the case reached a verdict in favor of McGregor’s team. Furthermore, this awarded Paradigm $5.1 million in compensatory damages.
