Jake Paul vs Manny Pacquiao ruled out
Manny Pacquiao is open to boxing a bunch of various opponents, but Jake Paul isn’t one among them.
The Filipino boxing legend’s advisor, Sean Gibbons, says no sum of money could get that matchup over the road.
Pacquiao is targeted on making big fights with people of the same size and skill level, not a novice who’s over 50lbs heavier than him.
“You understand what? Manny is different than other people,” Gibbons told Betway.
Will Manny Pacquiao’s boxing success ever be replicated?
‘PacMan’ is within the history books after achieving quite a lot of firsts within the ring.
“Manny’s an actual fighter. He’s a person of honor. Manny fights for money when it is sensible. He just doesn’t fight for money to fight for money.
“If he got offered $35 million, he still wouldn’t have an interest. Manny desires to win real fights in his weight, not like Gervonta Davis, who’s trying to money in. Manny has never been about freak shows.
“Plus, the dimensions difference, too. Manny’s at 147 lbs and Jake Paul is 200 lbs, so Manny isn’t going to do a fight like that.
“I don’t think I’ll ever see Manny doing any of those sorts of fights. I see him taking up an actual fight like Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis.”

“[Paul] has to coach hard,” Pacquiao told Bloody Elbow’s Donagh Corby.
Asked if he was ever approached about the potential of fighting Paul, Pacquiao replied that it was “inconceivable”. Even for an exhibition bout in his retirement, he only ever got to a peak weight of 161lb, while the social media star is best-known for fighting around 200lbs.
