Mixed martial artist Conor McGregor has claimed Manny Pacquiao owes him $8million due to a failed two-bout deal.

The Irish icon says he will waive the legal fees if his opponent agrees to face him in the ring.

The two legends were set to lock horns in 2021, but the bout was cancelled due to strained relations with McGregor's management agency.

Paradigm Sports went on to win a legal battle against the Filipino star afterwards.

McGregor spoke to iFL TV and said: "How about me vs. Manny here in Saudi? How does that sound to you?

"Wouldn't you think Manny should have to come up in weight, considering it's his sport? Would you think that's what a man would do vs. what a mouse would do?

"Manny already owes me $8m via the court of law. He was signed to my management company and didn't honor his deal. So fight at my weight and I'll square that bill away."
