It would hurt his career and his image if he lost to a 43 year old at age 33. I am reasonably sure he beats Pacquiao. he is much better and tougher than the Thurman who lost to Pac. Pac would put up a good fight but I doubt he wins. Pac was at his best abut 14 years ago not today, He is not ageless. No boxer is. He fights amazingly well for his age but Crawford is only a little past prime and too much for Pac today.And the part that makes it difficult for Pac is that while he slows later in the fight, Crawford adapts and adjusts later so while the first few rounds may look even, it's those two changes, one by Pac and the other by Crawford that go against Pac. I have to go with Crawford, everything tells me he wins. The only unknown is if Crawford's legs begin to fail him and he ages slightly from one fight to the next, but he is amazingly adaptable, and he has that one additional weapon, the ability to turn southpaw and back and if he senses that one of those stances is working better than the other against Pac, he will capitalize on it. It is an intriguing fight but one that I think Pac will call it a day after losing.
Knowing Pac's fearlessness if he beats Crawford he very well might fight Spence who I think is slightly better than Crawford. that fight would probably be easy to make.

pacquiao vs spence would be massive. make it in cowboy stadium, manny does big numbers there and the state has no income tax. manny would be a star again if he genuinely came out and whooped crawford. unless crawford breaks an ankle.
Moot point because Pacquaio knows he’s not getting 40 million.
Not during Covid, social distancing and the biggest global recession.
If it was to make huge bucks the fight would need to happen in 2024/2025
What would come next?
PAC vs Spence fight?
What would be of Bud’s career?
Yes, and if my grandmother had a beard she'd be my grandfather........... The yellowbricked road is just a block down the street,and around the corner...!!
Pac v Spence.
Crawford will have to rebuild, he will probably blame; judge bias, inactivity and Covid
And overnight half the people that had him as p4p number 1 will say he was overrated as ****
Feels like Crawford stays with Arum, because he knows Arum won't ever pay for a real fight. That way Crawford can just blame Aram.
Arum keeps Crawford because he knows they have enough TV ratings airing free fights to make a decent profit fighting cheap nobodies.

Let’s say Arum gives $40M to PAC for Crawford, then PAC whoops Bud | BoxingScene Community
