But relations between the Filipino and McGregor’s management agency, Paradigm Sports, led to the contest being cancelled.

Then earlier this year Pacquiao lost a legal battle with Paradigm Sports.

The agency claimed they had already paid the boxer £2million before he withdrew from an exclusive two-fight deal.

McGregor recently claimed Pacquiao had not yet paid the eight million dollar [£6.6m] settlement that had been agreed.

There is no evidence that Pacquiao has failed to do so.

But in a voicenote on Twitter, McGregor said: “Where’s my $8 million from that court case, Manny Pacquiao?

“You owe me $8 million, Manny… Are you stupid, Manny?

“I’ll kick you in the head, in the neck, the inside leg, and take you off your feet and drag you by your ankle across the stage.”

Pacquiao was then asked about McGregor in an interview with MMA Junkie.

To which he simply responded: “Oh, he’s not active anymore.”

McGregor has not fought since breaking his leg in a defeat to Dustin Poirier in 2021.

And he has not competed in the boxing ring since he made his professional debut in a defeat to Floyd Mayweather in 2017.

He has finally re-enrolled in US Anti-Doping Agency’s testing pool ahead of his UFC comeback.

McGregor is expected to face off against Michael Chandler in early 2024, although a date has not yet been confirmed.
