Manny Pacquiao hits back at Conor McGregor with cutting remark after UFC icon claims ‘stupid’ boxer owes him $8million
MANNY PACQUIAO has responded to Conor McGregor with a savage comment as their bitter feud continues.
McGregor, 35, and Pacquiao, 44, were due to meet in the boxing ring back in 2021.
But frosty 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 insisted Pacquiao had not yet paid an eight million dollar [£6.6m] settlement that had been agreed.
There is no evidence that such a deal was agreed, or that Pacquiao has failed to pay up.
But in a voice note 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."

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.
