CONOR McGREGOR would get knocked out by ‘any boxer’, according to Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum.
Manny Pacquiao says he would happily box Conor McGregor
Conor McGregor has obtained a boxing licence in California and is talking up the possibility of switching from MMA.
However, the two-time UFC champion seems certain that he will face unbeaten boxer Floyd Mayweather in a mega-fight worth well over $100million (£80million).
But Pacquiao admitted last week that he would take on McGregor in the boxing ring and now his promoter Arum has backed the bout as well.

“Conor McGregor is a good athlete and he is the best at MMA,” Arum told TMZ.
“But MMA and boxing are two different sports
“So it’s a lot of talk, everybody is having a lot of fun about it and sure Manny Pacquiao wants to fight Conor McGregor in boxing.
“If the only impediment to Manny Pacquiao fighting Conor McGregor is that Dana doesn’t like me then I won’t be around.
“I would give Manny the right, the permission to fight Conor McGregor anytime the money was right for Manny.”
