The largest names in the industry are still prone to legal trouble. Conor McGregor has attacked Manny Pacquiao in a recent video that has surfaced on YouTube. In 2020, a legal battle unfolded when Manny Pacquiao signed an exclusive two-fight deal with Paradigm Sports. However, tensions escalated when Paradigm accused Pacquiao of taking a $3.3 million payment and arranging fights independently, all while concealing an existing management agreement from them.

The arbitrator ruled that Pacquiao had breached the contract. Furthermore, he ordered Pacquiao to pay a substantial $8 million in damages and legal fees. The ‘Notorious’ has now called out Pacquiao for not doing his bit and warned him of the consequences.

McGregor started by asking Pacquiao where his 8 million dollars were. Signing an agency to represent them and then arranging independent fights did not sit well with McGregor. “You’re crazy. Are you stupid Manny? Are you guys stupid? I’ll kick youse in the head and then the neck, in the inside leg. I’ll take you by your feet and drag you by your ankle across the stage and what then?” The MMA sensation had some interesting punishment for the Filipino boxer.

McGregor did not hesitate in pulling in Floyd Mayweather, his former opponent and another revered boxer into the argument to prove just how dangerous he can be, “I had Floyd bent over I could have done him. I should have done that to him. Should have showed the world because they don’t understand it the way we had in a little bit the way the thought process is of all these people.” Though McGregor lost the bout against Mayweather, he is certain he can drag out ‘Pacman’ and teach him a lesson. McGregor signed off the broadcast, saying, “So I am on the plane. I’ll catch youse tomorrow.”
