Conor McGregor apparently wants to box retired boxing champ Manny Pacquiao because the UFC hasn’t given him a fight date yet.

On Saturday night, McGregor went to Saudi Arabia to catch the Otto Wallin-Anthony Joshua fight.

While at the event, McGregor was interviewed by IFL TV, and he said he wants to box Manny Pacquiao in Saudi Arabia.

“How about me vs Manny here in Saudi? How does that sound to you? Wouldn’t you think Manny should come up to my weight considering it’s his sport.

“Would you think that’s a man would do? vs what a mouse would do?…Money talks, Manny already owes me $8 million via court of law cause he was signed to my management company and didn’t honor his deal.”

McGregor says the Saudis have been talking to him, and the UFC hasn’t spoken to him about a fight date.

“The lads in the UFC aren’t talking, the lads here (Saudis) are talking many, the lads in the UFC aren’t talking any …Give me something, it was supposed to be April, it was supposed to be December…no one in the history of the fight game has been treated like I’ve been getting treated”

While many believe McGregor will fight at UFC 300 in April, there are rumors that his fight against Michael Chandler is being pushed back to the Summer of 2024.
