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?"

@Black_Jesus I wouldn't be mad at Pac for taking this fight, like I was saying on behalf of Floyd the other day:ehh:



Huge payday for the least amount of work?:ohhh:



Cant blame ANYBODY for accepting that when they are prizefighters:manny:



Manny will KO McGregor in the 1st round guaranteed though:whew::heh:

juanma wasnt a bum......he just had the unfortunate luck of facing someone who took his zero in the first fight and then took his prime in the second fight..dude accomplished a good deal before his downfall

Yeah Juanma was a good fighter with serious power in that right hook. That Mtagwa fight took some of his prime too.

Mikey is built up already, TR needs to do with Felix what they're currently doing w Valdez. Problem is Felix isn't close to as good as Valdez. He gna have that WBO soon tho.
