The super fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather have been traded for months.

The guarantor is the Filipino's manager, Bob Arum.

In an interview with the North American website TMZ, the “Pacman” agent made his client available to “replace” Mayweather against McGregor if the parties do not reach an agreement. Arum also gave tips to Dana White, president of the UFC, who is negotiating the duel against “Money”.
“If McGregor is still looking for a boxing opponent, Manny Pacquiao is available. (To make the deal happen) Dana has to be patient, she can't get carried away by Mayweather's side. He's a good negotiator, but he can't let Floyd's team push him around”, commented the businessman, who is at odds with White.
Even with his agent offering him other possibilities, Pacquiao already has his next fight scheduled. On July 2nd, he will face the unknown Australian Jeff Horn, at his opponent's home. It will be the 68th professional fight for the Filipino, who has already faced Floyd Mayweather and was defeated by unanimous decision by the judges.
