Arum: Pacquiao undercard will be all-Hispanic reply to Trump

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) Boxing promoter Bob Arum plans to make a statement against Donald Trump with an all-Hispanic undercard on his next big pay-per-view show.

Arum said Tuesday that he'll feature all Hispanic fighters on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao's third meeting with Timothy Bradley on April 9 in Las Vegas.

Arum calls it ''the Donald Trump undercard.''

Arum is no fan of Trump's calls for a wall on the US-Mexico border and the deportation of 11 million people living in the country illegally.

He says he wants Latin Americans to know ''there are a lot of people that have their back and are not going to allow them to be deported.''

Before the 84-year-old Arum began his promotional career in 1965, he was a lawyer in the U.S. Justice Department during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.
