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.
