Conor McGregor is seeking to face Filipino professional boxer, Manny Pacquiao, at the new 60,000-seat Las Vegas Allegiant Stadium.
The Irish star told the press ahead of his bout with Donald Cerrone in Nevada, USA, that he aspires to win a boxing world title.
“I always want bigger and better and to reach for the stars. I would love the rematch with Floyd Mayweather and I know the Manny one is there whenever I want it", McGregor said.
He added that the new spacious stadium is a perfect venue for such a fight.
“I would be honoured and love to be the first combatant to fight in that arena and what a fight that would be against a small and powerful southpaw. We would have to figure out the weight we do it at but it interests me, no doubt", he said.

Manny Pacquiao, who has been a Philippine Senator since 2016, is regarded as one of the greatest professional boxers of all time by boxing historians.
