It appeared that a bout between undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and champion Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) Conor McGregor was close to becoming real, according to a report by The Sun.
An ISIS affiliate group, Abu Sayyaf, plotted to kidnap boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao, who is running for senator in his native Philippines, said the country’s president on April 27.
After roughly six years of negotiating, the megabout that would be Manny Pacquiao (57–5, two draws, and 38 knockouts) versus Floyd Mayweather (47–0, 38 knockouts) is nearly a done deal—that is, depending on who you talk to.
