I only see one scenario of this happening.
That's if Pacquiao miraculously wins against Thurman on July 20. Coincidentally, his 2-fight contract with PBC is also completed. I see this as a window of opportunity for Bud.
Manny possibly asks Bob Arum one more time for a 20-30 million fight against Bud and Arum this time would not turn down this last opportunity he thought was gone forever; and for the other reason of fearing Spence getting all 3 belts and losing leverage in negotiation with Spence in the future.
you're so right. If Crawford was interested in doing bigger fights he would have demanded a Pacquiao fight to propel his career. But I don't think Bud wants big fights. To be honest, I don't think Crawford believes in his heart that he can beat Manny Pacquiao that's why he never calls out Pacquiao. Crawford should have been looking to settle that Top Rank issue with Manny that was screwed up by Bob Arum. That'd be a heck of a fight, if Crawford wants it.
Bud was very quiet until a little while ago
Imo , it’s about time cause he won’t notice but his career will fly right by
Forget Pac for now , Bud knows that a fight with Spence will bring along fame and fortune
That’s what I think he is after at this moment , he needs an authentic name on his resume
If not Spence then who
It’s a smart business move and career wise
Win win for both guys
This is a fight that can standup on its own
Bud’s just got to get to Arum
Thé only way Arum makes any of those fights is if Bud is loud enough
Crawford , if he really wants it , would have to force Arum’s hand by making noise
I think Bud is realizing he needs a name on his resume to propel him

Arum couldn't make Manny vs Bud when it was an in house fight. Which is odd for him.
And beyond that Arum SUCKS at doing big fights across ent^ties so him making Thurman, Spence or Porter vs Bud seems unlikely at best.

With today's fighters fighting only about once every 6 months Crawford would have to wait a long time for the winner of that fight.
They could wait until November or December to make it happen
I think that is the most logical fight as well but that isn't going to happen with the politics. Manny already nixed a Crawford fight when he was still with TR.
Spence will clean out the PBC ww division and Crawford will keep beating JWW moving up until Bob is willing to make the fight.
Dosent Manny fight under Top Rank as well??
