The whole process has been confusing... I'm retiring, he's not retiring, now I'm really going to retire and buy some goats, oh he's def not retiring, 30-0, I'll see you soon.
What in the bobby hill..

It's all speculation at this point, but it does sort of kind of seem like he's coming back..

All the champs think they are just going to quit and retire on a couch somewhere. Retirement ain't a good life for almost anybody... Get's boring and people need meaning.
And if you are used to the highs associated with being a world champ you definitely are not well suited for a couch. Takes drive to get there, and you don't just decide not to have that drive when you retire.
Knowing very little about Khabib, I'd bet money he comes back.

I don't even watch UFC but I know enough to know that Conor McGregor is a shell of what he was and will get wrecked by Khabib.
McGregor has also said how he's working on a fight with Manny Pacquiao (under boxing rules). Which again, obviously he'd get destroyed. Pacquiao even at 42 is still an elite level boxer and he would annihilate Conor McGregor in a boxing ring.
McGregor is just chasing money at this point -- basically he's at the point where he'll sacrifice himself if the money is right. Which hey, I don't know if I can blame him. It is a lot of money after all.

There’s little downside for him to fight Pacquiao imo. He would get a huge payday,and I do not think many people expect him to win. If he put on a good performance and lost, it’d be a net positive for his profile.

Right now they have betting odds out on it. Pacquiao is a -450 favorite. And for you non-bettors out there that would mean you'd have to put $450 on Pacquiao to win 100, meanwhile if you put a hundred down on Conor (and he won) you'd win $350.
Floyd carried McGregor and barely threw a punch in like the first 4 rounds, and Floyd doesn't have the KO power of Pacquaio, either.
While Manny is about the nicest guy on earth outside of the ring, he doesn't know how to carry a guy. As soon as the opportunity presents itself to fuck him up he's going to do so. McGregor will probably be the slowest opponent Manny has ever fought in terms of hand speed, and for McGregor I guarantee you that even at 42 years old (for Pacquiao) he has never ever seen any pair of hands as fast as Manny Pacquiao.
If they make this fight (and there's lots of chatter that they are) then the ref better be ready to jump in there fast, because in all likelihood it will end fast and it will end violently. Make no mistake about Pacquaio's age, he's still very, very formidable. In fact he's coming off a very impressive win over an undefeated world champion in his prime (Keith Thurman).
But yes it would certainly be a very handsome payday for McGregor. Oh and for the record I do know that if the shoe was on the other foot, and Pacquaio had to fight McGregor in the octagon, McGregor would win just as easily as Pacquiao will likely do to him in a boxing ring.

I assumed Mcgregor would have a good showing but you’re making a lot of sense.
