I doubt Dana wants to deal with Arum. And I suspect Arum would rather setup the Horn vs Pacquiao II fight with the winner fighting Crawford then on the off chance Manny loses to Conor cuz the way Horn fought kinda reminded me of how Conor fought.
Conor vs Paulie is the only thing I think sells legit. If something crazy woulda happened the other night even looking as "wobbly" as he was looking midway through the fight I think you coulda lined up Conor to be shot in the head by the Canelo vs GGG winner or someone way above him for a big PPV.
How things went I don't think Conor vs a legit top ten guy (or even lower than that) makes very much sense now. And it makes no $ sense to move Conor like some boxing prospect vs much lesser fighters in 6 or 8 rounders that he'd be able to win to build him up. So a retired guy who's not what he once was & who there is legit beef & drama with makes all the sense in the world.
Paulie or back to the UFC is the move. And I kinda expect UFC & then back to boxing for Paulie will be the move if he does comeback to boxing.
There's only one option and its Paulie but they need to strike while the iron is hot and keep the buzz between them going and announce a winter fight asap.
