Manny Pacquiao has named his conditions for a boxing superfight with Conor McGregor.
Just under a week ago, after leaking private messages with UFC president Dana White, the Notorious claimed he would be returning to the squared circle to face Pacquiao in the Middle East.
McGregor has been dropping hints aplenty on his social media channels, while Pacquiao himself confirmed the fight will be happening next year.
Having expressed his desire to donate funds to Filipinos struggling as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the eight-division world champion has now requested that he co-promote the bout.

As per The Mirror, he said: "I have formed my own company, Pac Sports and Entertainment, and am more than willing to give the fans what they want: An exciting fight with Conor McGregor under terms and conditions where I am the co-promoter with my company.
"Thank you and God bless."
McGregor's money-spinning boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather was done with the approval of UFC, but it's likely he'll want to co-promote this event with his company McGregor Sports and Entertainment.
In addition to the Pacquiao fight, McGregor also had a Dublin charity fight proposal accepted by former rival Dustin Poirier.
