Has Pacquiao stated that he is going to fight the winner of Spence vs Porter? Do you think he will?
I think Haymon/PBC will offer Pacquiao enough money to make the Spence fight happen in 2020 but that is just my opinion.
Do you think Spence (I honestly can't see Porter beating him) vs Pacquiao happens next?
If the numbers come in that Spence-Porter ends up tracking like or exceeding Spence-Mikey, with Thurman-Pacquiao being said to have topped 500k PPV buys (@$65/$75, the US TV was likely worth over $17m before counting anything else), Spence is the money option for Pacquiao at that point; marketed properly, you're on your way to 1m PPV buys pretty straightforwardly.
If the numbers come in that Spence-Porter ends up tracking to 200k-250k, Spence presents as a similar value to Mikey and Danny Garcia, and Pacquiao would likely look elsewhere.
I agree with you there! I think it will be a fun fight that will generate money. Why not? No one would hold it against Pac. A very interesting fight against a former stablemate/kinda rival so there is a back story, and who was very popular. Fun way to close out his career.
If he gonna do that then he must stop the belt and let Spence fight Danny, Ugas, or Thurman for it.
Stop holding belts hostage, we want to see an undisputed champ.

Nope he hasnt’t. And i hope he wouldn’t..
I just want the legend of pacman to finally close his book. Dude deserves a good ending and he got one with that thurman win.. i don’t want him getting hurt anymore by fights he doesn’t need to take at this point.
Spence is too dangerous for a 41 yr old way past his best fighter with a very high mileage. With a style we thought wouldn’t last this long.
Porter is also dangerous at this point for pac.. he’ll be pushing pac nonstop all night like horn did... and make it rough.
3 years maybe... but not now.
It’d be another miracle for pac to pull off to win against these two.. and he already used all aling dionesia’s magic against thurman..
Throughout history it’s all “i still feel young” until the brutal KO.
Humble yourself against father time.. before it humbles you.
PAC will be seeing the Spence-Porter fight at ringside. If this fight will be a brutal war (which I think will be the case) and both Spence and Porter takes heavy damage then PAC will call out the winner to fight next... :D PAC will even jump into the ring after the Spence-Porter fight to show his real intention... :lol1:
Not that I'm aware. I think the look on his face the last time he was forced to confront Spence in the ring after the Mikey Garcia fight tells us everything we need to know about Pac's enthusiasm about that fight.
I seen it, was like a deer in the headlights moment.
I think Manny knows its too much and at this stage of his career he dont want nor need that, keep the fanboys happy is all he has to do, there are decent Garcia fights for the taking, I think it will be one of them, I cant see him fighting Spence.

He is not going to be sitting front row tomorrow (after flying in from Dubai btw) just to say hi. He is about legacy at this point (that and the spence-porter winner would make this a MASSIVE PPV draw).
I don't think he has said that's what's next.
The thing is, the longer he waits, the less chance he has of winning. If he still wants to fight at the highest level, then it should be next.
I just have a feeling that he will go with a Mikey Garcia or Amir Khan. I wouldn't mind watching those honestly.
I am a Pac Tard but I don't want to see him in with Spence or Porter at this point.
Knock out Khan in Dubai or whatever and retire.

He expressed interest in fighting Spence after his Thurman win but made no official intentions of fighting the winner of this fight. He has always let his management decide this stuff for him.
He does what Haymon tells him to do, same as he did with Arum. The difference is he no longer has to fight bums.
The only reason he was fighting top rank bums was because he cleaned out top rank 140-147.
