Arum: McGregor Can't Fight For Sh*t, He Pushed Malignaggi Down!

As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, UFC superstar Conor McGregor is planning to continue his boxing career beyond the upcoming showdown with five division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.

McGregor will make his professional boxing debut against Mayweather next Saturday night, August 26th, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“I love the sport of boxing. Boxing has been dear to my heart my entire life. I will contend in boxing bouts going forward. And I will contend in mixed martial arts bouts going forward. I will rule both with an iron fist. That’s where my mind-set is. We’ll see where it goes," McGregor said.

But Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who has 50 years of experience in the business and promoted some of the biggest boxing names in history - including Mayweather - sees no real future in the sport for McGregor.

“After he fights Mayweather, the only promoter I think who might be interested in promoting him is Artie Pelulo,” said Arum to the Los Angeles Times. “Who the f*** would want to promote this guy? He can’t fight for sh*t. Don’t you understand? He’s not a boxer. It’ll take him years to understand. And there’s so many more talented guys around.”

Arum admits that he wanted Manny Pacquiao to face McGregor - because the veteran promoter smelled an easy payday for his fighter.

“The ship will be revealed as having no ballast and once it’s on the water it’s the Sinkable Molly Brown,” Arum said. “Of course I wanted Pacquiao to fight McGregor. Because it was easy money for Pacquiao. It was an opportunity for Pacquiao to pick up big, easy money. This is a one-off thing. [McGregor] has absolutely no reason to be in the ring with a skilled, professional fighter. And if I was wrong, why didn’t he fight some journeyman to show you belong in the ring?”

McGregor and his promoter, UFC President Dana White, released video clips - which showed the MMA fighter scoring a debatable knockdown of former two division champion Paulie Malignaggi in a recent sparring session.

Arum was not impressed by the clips and sides with Malignaggi's claim that McGregor pushed him down.

“He didn’t do [anything] to Malignaggi. He pushed him down,” Arum said.

The McGregor lineage traces back to Scotland in the 1500s and the clan’s motto, ‘S Rioghal Mo Dhream, means “Royal is our race”, reflects the family’s claimed connection to Celtic royalty. The skinny is that the McGregor’s fought for and helped win Scottish independence. However, their property was redistributed to another family by the ruling class, thus beginning centuries-long skirmishes. In Ireland, the McGregors demonstrated resiliency as they survived the Irish Potato Famine which saw 1.5 million people starve to death or die of disease. Conor’s great-great grandfather, Albert McGregor, rose from the harsh streets and joined the military. All this points to a family gene that’s faced wars and extinction, thus Conor simply represents the most resilient and heroic member of the clan, which he alluded to in a tweet, “I am simply doing what my ancestors were doing long before me.” Surviving!

is there some type of prophecy that is going to happen here? Like . . this is when his bloodline takes back it's royal oats?


We gonna act like this dude doesn't look like a Game of Thrones character?

Are articles about $880,000 bets placed on Mayweather the pre-emptive build-up to an ironic loss?



I think I might spend my average bar tab on a McGregor win

McGregor keeps talking win by knockout . . . but if he can win by decision the payout is . . . and that will be the truest upshowing
