Conor McGregor Eyes a Fight With Manny Pacquiao at New Las Vegas NFL Stadium

McGregor has had only one fight in his career as a professional boxer, that was against Floyd Mayweather. The Irishman suffered a defeat in the 10th round against "Money" at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada in 2017.

Conor McGregor is seeking to face Filipino professional boxer, Manny Pacquiao, at the new 60,000-seat Las Vegas Allegiant Stadium.

The Irish star told the press ahead of his bout with Donald Cerrone in Nevada, USA, that he aspires to win a boxing world title.

“I always want bigger and better and to reach for the stars. I would love the rematch with Floyd Mayweather and I know the Manny one is there whenever I want it", McGregor said.

He added that the new spacious stadium is a perfect venue for such a fight.

“I would be honoured and love to be the first combatant to fight in that arena and what a fight that would be against a small and powerful southpaw. We would have to figure out the weight we do it at but it interests me, no doubt", he said.

Just got this mock poster from @KnuckleheadSean who is the head of MP Promotions for Senator @MannyPacquiao So I'm guessing the Senator has heard that @TheNotoriousMMA is interested in fighting him and is interested. pic.twitter.com/odEwLoDHDg
