Bob Arum Reacts To Dana White on Pacquiao vs. McGregor Fight


By Edward Chaykovsky

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is still very interested in matching up eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao in a showdown with UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

In a recent interview, Pacquiao recently expressed his willingness to fight McGregor - if he was unable to finalize a sought after fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Although Pacquiao made it very clear that he was only interested in a boxing match - and had zero desire to fight under MMA rules.

"In boxing, but not in MMA. Just boxing," Pacquiao recently stated when asked about McGregor.

Arum said he has no issues with this bout, because he expects Pacquiao to win very easily.


"That's an easy fight for Manny, and I would love for that fight to happen, absolutely," Arum said in an interview with TMZ. "For sure, Manny Pacquiao would love to fight Conor McGregor in boxing. Any boxer would like to fight Conor McGregor, because they'd knock him out," he added.

But White recently told Yahoo Sports that he doesn't have any interest in doing business with Arum.

“Listen, I love Manny Pacquiao,” White told Yahoo Sport's Kevin Iole. “But I don’t love Bob Arum. You can tell Arum to save his money and not make any calls over here because we aren’t doing business with him.”

When Arum heard the news of White's comments, he wasn't surprised - and he offered to step back if that would allow Pacquiao-McGregor to take place.

"I tell you, if the only impediment to Manny Pacquiao fighting Conor McGregor is because Dana doesn't like me, then I won't be around," said Arum. "I would give Manny the right, the permission to fight Conor McGregor anytime that the money was right for Manny."

Even McGregor himself welcomed a bout with Pacquiao, if he's not able to get Mayweather.

"Maybe I'll just fight Pacquiao instead," he said in a recent interview. "Why not do that?"

The payday for a fight of that magnitude is such that only a fool would turn it down imo

 

[Newzz]

Idk why he opened Pandora's Box

Desperate times calls for desperate measures


It's getting desperate over in Team Pacquiao if they fighting guys like Jeff Horn when they could easily set up a big fight vs Thurman for July

 

[reservoirdogs]

salute the Viking Warrior...but he's 38 years old ...and he hasn't fought in almost 4 years though..but i have respect for him..he put in work at 168 in the 2000s and early 2010s

smh.... smh

they need to do better than that
I want this project to succeed bad but one gotta be skeptical if he sees that after all the promises of at least two champions competing, elite fighters and stuff... the first guy they recruit is old man Kessler who hasn't fought in 4 years...
and why...? Of course because he was with Sauerland. So long to the "we pick by quality, a commission will decide who to invite". Nah based on this it seems like they just gonna fill it with Sauerland fighters
They also said they gonna invite fighters only from the top 15 rankings of the 4 big organizations. Kessler is ranked nowhere, he is retired for a long time.


Damn... I still hope this is just a minor failure but this is not a promising start, I already sense fukkery...

 

[reservoirdogs]

Past prime, burnt out boxers who desperately seek for plus attention on the waves of Floyd vs McGregor rumors, so you call out MMA fighters ass boxers like Haye, Khan, Malignaggi or Pascal.
that's the way you go

mayweather has nothing more to prove and is retired
him vs mcgregor is more like a exhibition

pacquaio have retired after bradley if he wanted to go out with a win.
lingering around fighting bums is not a good look
and its not like hes roy jones status, last time he fought he looked decent
challenge yourself or retire

 

[King P]

Dont believe what??
$20 million the only reason they're going to Australia...

Pac fighting for the biggest paydays.. we dont have to like it

That's cool, Pac can fight whoever he wants.

But he gonna have to stop fukking around and come up off that belt and not hold up other nikkas careers :onetimeorly:

Freddie Rch at it again

 

[Black_Jesus]

He lost that fight...no need to talk about that.




Beating Bradley again didn't prove or show anything.....Vargas was never a legit top 10 Welterweight, at any point in his life.....Jeff Horn is a bum



He's dragging down his legacy which is reflected in the fact he cant sell half the PPVs he used to do






AB has nothing to do with this, but you have a problem with staying on topic and always wanna use AB's name to boost your post views



*edit* and since you using organizational rankings...everyone AB's faced since Maidana, outside Carlos Molina, was ranked by an organization as well.....including Allakhverdiev who Vargas still has problems**

Vargas and Bradley were both ranked top 10 according to your Precious RING rankings though.. Still is today.... Unlike Biscuits who isn't top 10 anywhere

You can call Jeff Horn a bum all you like.. Just proves cause unlike Biscuits Jeff Horn is undefeated and ranked #2 under the WBO and IBF.. and its a $20 million fight for Pacquiao guaranteed regardless of its sells a lot of ppvs... If we desparate for ppvs we might we might call the Ohio c00n.. hopefully he doesn't price himself out again...


Buscuits has everything to do with it as long as a Buscuits stan wants to criticize Pac's legacy..

Thuman the one against fighting on ppv and gets upset anytime anyone mentioms ppvs.. He holding up his own career

Cut out the bullshyt about official belt rankings

Especially that you mentioned the WBO too...
Even you gonna get a good WBO ranking from nothing if you buy Bob a bottle of whiskey. "We are Bob's Organization" s/o to smoke for that name
IBF is very consistent with their rules but they also have some trash ass rankings. Did you see who are ranked in their 154 top 10? Cedric Vitu (who) and Marcello Matano (who) will fight for the mandatory title shot on Hurd's title.

question is: w/o any "but he is ranked..." cdeflection do you actually, wholeheartedly believer that

1: Horn is really a top 10 welterweight?

2: is this really who Pacquiao should fight?

Shade? nikka, the curtains already closed on Pacquaio career when Floyd beat him...the credits is rolling now

That's why he cant sell PPVs and he's afraid to let Arum feed him to the wolves, so he running to Australia to fight bums
