McGregor and Poirier previously met back at UFC 178 in September 2014, with McGregor winning that fight by first-round knockout. It&#8217;s because he won the first meeting between the pair that Pacquiao believes that McGregor underestimated Poirier.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Losing is part of the game. In sport there are winners and losers, that&#8217;s all. It is not about defeat, but about how you accept defeat in your life. How you get over that difficult time in your life,&#8221; Pacquiao told ABS-CBN News (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingscene.com\/pacquiao-i-think-mcgregor-underestimated-poirier-rematch--155102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BoxingScene.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;McGregor had already beaten his rival before and I think that made him underestimate him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s great advice from Pacquiao, who himself has suffered several notable upset losses during his incredible boxing career, including a brutal KO to rival Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012 in the fourth fight between the two. So if anyone knows a thing or two about bouncing back from a brutal loss, it&#8217;s Pacquiao. After losing that fight to Marquez, Pacquiao won eight of his last 10 fights inside the boxing ring.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did McGregor lose to Poirier, a loss which dropped him back to No. 6 in the UFC lightweight rankings, but he also lost out on a potential boxing superfight with Pacquiao, at least for the time being. As soon as McGregor lost to Poirier,<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/boxing-news\/ryan-garcia-confirms-boxing-superfight-against-manny-pacquiao\/\"> Pacquiao announced his upcoming fight with boxing star Ryan Garcia<\/a>. It seems as though the McGregor fight won&#8217;t be happening anytime soon for Pacquiao at this point, though perhaps if McGregor wins his next fight then Pacquiao would be more open to it.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with Manny Pacquiao that Conor McGregor underestimated Dustin Poirier in the pair&#8217;s rematch at UFC 257?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao believes that Conor McGregor underestimated Dustin Poirier heading into their main event rematch at UFC 257.
