Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I'm Leaning To Mikey Garcia, Crawford is Not Ruled Out

Just go ahead and sign with Mikey! Let everybody else move on with their careers! Crawford vs. Porter! MAN UP!

So obviously Garcia is getting the retirement fund payday he's been begging for . Disappointing match up but Pacquiao was never gonna fight Spence or Crawford for the kind of money that is available. There were other, better fighters available at 147 though.

Paw just please retire your wife and family. You have nothing left to prove.

Pretty much this.

Beating Mikey at WW does zero for legacy...and I struggle to understand how he could be kn need of money..but who knows?!?

If he is set on one more fight a Crawford win does wonders for his ATG ranking...but Pac would NOT be the favorite in that fight...tread carefully

Manny doesn't want Crawford and it's easy to see why, he doesn't want his next fight to be his last . Manny at this stage has to have a retirement plan so Bud doesn't fit..but don't count out him fighting Bud or Spence for big money as a grand finally . Garcia v Manny is a pick'em. Garcia is better suited to the smaller Manny type fighter.

Hopefully after the Mikey fight, Pacman would retire gracefully. Let the younger guys fight each other.

How much more proof do we need that pac really wants nothing to do with Crawford? He says he wants 40 mil for Crawford but definitely won’t be making that to fight Mikey. In addition Mikey brings next to nothing to the table. No belts, no top p4p status, the respect of boxing fans went out the window with his shameful performance against Spence. Yet that’s the direction pac is leaning in.

Crawford and Porter is more interesting than Crawford and Spence at this point to me. I'm curious how Crawford will handle Porter honestly.

The plan was always two fights anyway. Considering how long he’s been out of the ring, he’s likely being stressed to at least take a more of a tune-up type fight before taking some crazy challenge like Crawford at 42/43. Mikey is still a dangerous fight, despite the little respect Pacquiao will get for beating him.

Manny is going to follow Mayweather's example. The next phase for him is fighting Youtubers, then exhibition fights with the geriatric set -- maybe Oscar, Zab Judah, and that generation of retirees.

Don't see Manny ever fighting Crawford. Pacman's skill level was a notch below Bud Crawford even in his prime.
