Manny Pacquiao to come out publicly and declare that the winner of that fight would be his guaranteed next opponent.
Manny can easily do this because he just finished his 2-fight contract with PBC and he could easily shop between the two streets.
Of course, PBC would prefer to lure Manny to fight the winner of Porter vs Spence, which is obviously gonna be Spence and unify 3 titles before going for Crawford. But that means, they would be asking for a 75-25 split with Top Rank and that's where the buck stops. Bob Arum don't want the fight if he's going to end up in 25-35% side, even if that is the real fair situation.
This is the perfect solution because networks and all fighters understands that until you get Pacquiao's head, Spence nor Crawford will find themselves unable to leap into the next stage of stardom even if they fight each other, it doesn't matter if they clean up the division, without Pacquiao's head, your level of fame is limited.
Pacquiao is the key to unlocking mainstream and casual fans. But you gotta really beat the man to be the man. Don't go the Jeff Horn way, it's not gonna cut it. Beating Pacquiao dominantly without any sort of controversy will earn a non-charismatic figure like Crawford or Spence a "charisma"--an attraction. This gives them a chance to leap to the next stage of fame,--they don't stand a chance at super-stardom without Manny Pacquiao.
All roads leads to pacquiao!!! :boxing:
BTW, crawford is a bum
Spence too. Manny even compared Spence to Ledwaba who was a master boxer, but still, both Crawford and Spence are beneath Manny.
Won’t happen
Since when was manny that vocal and decisive lol
That's true. Manny has a well-paid match maker whom he trusted well, he let him do his job and don't meddle with him. I've read somewhere that when Sean Gibbons said he's going to fight Keith Thurman, Pacquiao responded with "who is Keith Thurman?"
So maybe the key for this to happen is for Sean Gibbons to read this opinion and present it to Manny. haha
Very poor choice of words. If you're ignorant to history, maybe look up "final solution".
so its not allowed to be said ever ?
dont be one of those guys

Yes the title could have been: a great solution or just a solution.
If Manny want to uplift the sport one more time, this is a great moment to do it. We've lost a lot of Prime vs. Prime fights lately and it looks like Crawford vs Spence is the next one we will lose if not already lost.
Crawford is not getting any younger and Spence's body is ready to blow up at any given time. One day Spence would wake up and can't do welterweight anymore. So they would meet at the higher weight that doesn't guarantee the same dominance as they are on welterweight. If we wait for Crawford's contract that's gonna be how many more years? Is Crawford still prime after that? Is Spence still able to make the welterweight? There are a lot of uncertain question the longer we wait.
So we have a chance here, Manny can help bring them together.
Good post.
Crawford beats Spence tho.
And at this stage, Crawford beats Manny. Prime Pacquiao annihilates them both though, same night, back to back.
I think Spence edges this one out. Manny beats Bud if no drug testing too
