Dana White threatens to sue Manny Pacquiao over Conor McGregor
UFC president Dana White has threatened to sue boxing legend Manny Pacquiao.
The Filipino hero recently revealed that he held initial talks with Conor McGregor over a boxing match. But White is furious that Pacquiao hasn’t gone through his team to secure a bout with the UFC champ.
Pacquiao recently said of his potential fight with McGregor: “If we can negotiate it, I have no problem. [Talks?] Initially, but we have not had any follow-up conversations.”
White was less than impressed when he heard the revelation.
“That would be weird because [McGregor’s] under contract with us,” White said. “If that’s true, I will be suing Manny Pacquiao and whoever’s representing him. So, I’m assuming that’s not true.”
Pacquiao is currently enjoying life as a politician in his homeland. But it appears the veteran is ready to put politics to the side and land a big-money fight with Ireland’s favorite son.
