Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest hunters of Boxing ever, and he welcomes UFC boss Dana White in the sport with open arms.
Many within the boxing companies are not sure of White, who has made a number of high -profile enemies while he was built by the MMA Supremo in the largest brand in combat sports. But it seems that Pacquiao is not one of them and it says that his arrival is a good thing for the sport.
The Legendary Eight-Division world champion is currently preparing for a return to the ring at the age of 46. He will be confronted with Mario Barrios on July 19 in Las Vegas and wants to win another belt while competing for the WBC Welterweight title.
Manny Pacquiao welcomes Dana White in boxing with huge compliment
Manny Pacquiao worked next month on a return to the ring and participated yesterday in a media training in California. He invited the press, including bloody elbow, to see him touch with pads and to train in the famous Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, ask questions later.
Asked by bloody elbow what he feels about the move from Dana White to the boxing world, he said it was positive for the sport, given his assets as a promoter and his profile. He also noted that his long -awaited meeting with Conor McGregor was now unlikely.
“That's okay,” he said about the move. “It's good because it really helps the boxing industry. It is one of the best [promoters in the world].
Dana White has always been a big fan of Manny Pacquiao
Although there has not been much of a relationship between the two parties, Dana White has never hidden his admiration from Manny Pacquiao over the years. In 2012 he claimed to be 'the biggest fan of Manny Pacquiao ever', despite choosing Juan Manuel Marquez in their fourth fight.

He noticed Bob Arum, the legendary boss of the top boxing, “A Moron” for setting up the event, in which Marquez finally hit Pacquiao. “Why would you fight that against your idiot?” He asked during a MediaSchrum at that time.
“It's all about the money, that was a cash fight, that's what it was done for. He should have fought [Timothy] Bradley, that was the fight they should have done. He would have hit Bradley out, removed his belt and now he is back in the position in which he should have been.
“He is one of the greatest hunters in the world … Bob Arum is one of the stupidest promoters in the history of the world.”
