[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bob Arum was dismayed by the latest news involving one of the greatest fighters he has ever promoted. The 91-year-old founder of Las Vegas-based Top Rank expressed his disappointment with the increasingly likely possibility that eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao could be returning to the ring this year against embattled British welterweight Conor Benn.

Yeah you corrupt old fart,

Bob is "sad" he can't shave his customary 20% off the top.

Manny will beat the piss out of McGregor, but he does need to stay retired. The sport isn't too friendly for fighters that stick around for too long

What's sad is neither of these guys should be near a ring . Manny has blown tens of millions and is 44! And Benn is running away from an obvious drugs ban after failing two separate tests .Anyone involved in this farce should be banned......period!

he invited conor out for lunch to tell him the good news but was dismayed to see conor ordering 4 scrambled eggs

Manny will beat the piss out of McGregor,

hes not a boxer and not powered by eggs either

[hitmanjosh]

To be fair Bob, he could say the same about your promoting career, like go sit your old asS down!

[Bronx2245]

Wasn't Arum the promoter of Ali vs. Holmes? That should've NEVER happened!

[Monty Fisto]

Bob isn't wrong, but I suspect he would find it less sad if he was promoting the fight.
