And Arum thinks that Ibarra is the perfect level for McGregor if he is to test the waters of the boxing ring.
“I’m grateful that Conor came over here, it certainly helped with the promotion,” said Arum, with quotes appearing on BoxingScene.com. “But Conor McGregor should not think about fighting a world-class fighter until he fights [against another boxer on a lower level].
"Let him fight the guy that Conlan just fought and see how he does."Arum also insisted that he would love the chance to promote a card featuring McGregor, and we can't say we blame him given the numbers that the Dubliner draws on a regular basis. "Sh*t yeah [I would promote a boxing match with McGregor]... the money involved. It's easy money," Arum said. "I would do Conor MGregor against any of my fighters and I would do winner takes all." McGregor stole plenty of the headlines in New York City last Friday, as he approached esteemed boxing reporter Dan Rafael to issue a resounding message.
"You're the boxing guy? I'm the boxing guy. Watch me take over boxing,” McGregor shouted. "Trust me on that. No one in this boxing game knows what’s coming. Trust me on that. When I step in there, I’m going to shock the whole goddamn world. Trust me on that. "Look me in the eyes. Twenty-eight years of age, confident as a motherfucker, long, rangy, dangerous with every hand. Trust me, I’m going to stop Floyd and you’re all going to fucking eat your words. The whole world is going to eat their words."
