crawford ducked pac im so sorry

Jul 24, 2016 https://www.boxingscene.com/articles/terence-crawford-manny-pacquiao-fight-me-140 Terence Crawford insisted that any fight with Manny Pacquiao would have to take place at the 140-pound super lightweight division. In 2016, after defeating Viktor Postol to unify titles at 140 pounds, Crawford made it clear that Pacquiao would need to move down in weight to meet him there, as Pacquiao had been fighting at the welterweight (147-pound) division for years. Aug 15, 2016 https://www.boxingscene.com/articles/arum-pacquiao-rejected-crawford-over-140-weight-demand “Manny can fight anyone, but he chose Vargas because that’s what he wanted and that’s the best for him. He doesn’t want to go down at 140. Maybe someday he will face Crawford.” Crawford didnt move up to 147 until 2018 to fight jeff horn. didnt want to fight pac at 147...would fight jeff horn. got it. there's nothing wrong with not fighting someone in another division and its not a duck to not fight someone in another division but the problem here is crawford was the one saying he wanted the fight...but he really didnt. he wanted it at 140 aka a non starter. it was all PR. now lets fast forward to after pac was back on top after beating thurman. does crawford now want the fight??? Nov. 13, 2020 https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/2195981/2020/11/13/terence-crawford-is-reaching-a-breaking-point-with-top-rank-can-it-be-repaired/ Top Rank chairman Bob Arum received authorization from Pacquiao this summer to pursue a fight with Crawford in Qatar slated for November on ESPN PPV, sources said, and talks ostensibly reached an advanced stage. Crawford was offered $6.5 million guaranteed, per sources, along with upside of the pay-per-view at $5 for every buy over 300,000. He countered at $9.5 million with upside at 500,000. Crawford fought Brook for 4 million no ppv upside. derp. 04/24/2021 https://www.boxingnews24.com/2021/04/manny-pacquiao-vs-terence-crawford-deal-dead-funding-from-abu-dhabi-never-came-through/ The proposed Manny Pacquiao-Terence Crawford welterweight title fight, pegged for June 5, appears all but dead after the funding from Abu Dhabi investors never came through. “Sources: If deal completed, the fight would have headlined ESPN+ PPV. Pacquiao signed his contract, but Crawford never did. Now it looks like it doesn’t matter that Crawford didn’t sign.” so crawford didnt want to move up to fight pac and crawford priced himself out. got it.

Lmfao. The worst you can say here is Crawford does the same thing Manny did with Floyd and fought a lesser opponent for less money. Daggum calls it a duck here yet not with manny. If this means Crawford ducked Manny, then it means Manny ducked Floyd. Daggum your anti black American and Mexican bias shows it’s ugly head yet again.

Pac is still alive and breathing because they didn't fight.

Many ducked pac. Bud shouldn't be ashamed he's one of them. But it worked out ok for bud in the end. Beat a 168 fighter then you can say that's evidence you'd be too much for pac I guess?of course Terence is a mobile counterpuncher with one punch power in both hands at all of their shared weights Juan and Floyd did it with their disadvantages in weight TBud is significantly heavier than manny to top it all off the cocktail of counters running and hugging overwhelms manny

Good detective work, very persuasive. Bud has some explaining to do.
