Conor McGregor could get in the ring with Manny Pacquiao - although the dealmakers are yet to speak
Pacquiao, with 67 fights to his name, is an 11-time world boxing champion and was the first boxer to win a title in five different weight divisions.
And the 38-year-old hinted this weekend that while he would not switch into the octagon, he could see himself taking on McGregor in the ring.
"In boxing? In boxing [I would fight McGregor] but not in the UFC, just boxing," Pacquiao told Fox Sports.
And UFC chief White is one of those who has no interest in working with Arum.
"Listen, I love Manny Pacquiao," White told Yahoo.
