#Rapscallion.........You comment when and not if Bud beat Manny. Your comment suggests that Crawford is twice the fighter Manny is in your eyes but do you think Crawford would even have taken a fight with with Pacquiao when the Phillipino was in his prime let alone beat him. My guess is that he wouldn't. The fact that Crawford is taking the fight now suggests the supposed P4P best is looking for an easy payday against a name well past his best and 42 years old. Money over his legacy. The guy is in his prime, he should be moving heaven and earth to fight Spence. To answer my own question......Manny would beat and KO both Crawford and Spence on the same night in his prime.

So what if he makes less money? I thought you said he was willing and ready? Why doesn’t he get his promoter to take it to a purse bid?If he fights as a mandatory, he makes less money.
Terence Crawford next fight: Manny Pacquiao, Shawn Porter both in the mix according to Bob Arum
Arum on Porter really wanting the Crawford fight
“Shawn’s father, Kenny, came to see us. He’s a lovely man and highly intelligent, and we’ve had preliminary discussions and let’s see if it can happen. And there’s also Manny Pacquiao who has said that he wants to fight Terence Crawford. Let’s see if that can happen. But as far as Crawford is concerned, he’s in a good position...”
That's how you know Porter wants the fight! Of course he's not going to accept $1 Million dollars, especially when both Brook and Khan got way more than that!
They don’t want the fight am telling you, hence why they want over the odd to take the fight. Hence why his promoter isn’t forcing a purse bid. Not because he would make less, what’s his highest purse? He is not a 5m dollar fighter. And I doubt if he has ever made that in a single fight.Comment

Spence-Porter To Earn $2 million Each; Benavidez-Dirrell $1M
If they can give washed up Kell Brook $2 Million, they can give WBO #1 Contender Shawn Porter $2 Million! They gave Amir Khan $5 Million!!!Comment

That’s where the issue is, who cares what anyone else makes? And if you want to care what anyone else makes then show us what revenue you are bringing that those who you are pulling up didn’t bring to the table.

If not get your own promoter to do the fight..... Quite simple. Pull for the purse bid, get your promoter or more promoter to put money in the fight since you are that valuable.... Teo Lopez just showed you the way.Comment

Did Crawford need a purse bid to fight Amir Khan and Kell Brook? Why would he need a purse bid for Shawn Porter? If he gets the Pacquiao fight, fine. If he doesn't, and he does not face Ortiz Jr. or Porter, then he's a waste of time! Please Lord, don't let him fight Josesito Lopez! LMAO!

No because they weren’t the number 1 ranked WBO fighter when he fought them. And no he doesn’t need a purse bid v Porter.... Porter need a purse bid v him.
He cannot force Porter to fight him, again let Porter get Al Haymon his own promoter to fund the fight and get paid what Khan and Brook earned.

Your argument is so bad! First you say Porter needs to enforce his mando, then you say "he cannot force Porter to fight him! That's ass backwards! If Crawford wants to fight Porter, it can be done easily! Obviously, if Porter has to enFORCE his status, then Crawford don't want no smoke! Why would he prefer to fight Khan and Brook, and pay them well too, but when Porter, who is a real top WW contender, asks to fight him, he has all the obstacles? I don't blame Crawford, I blame Arum, but time will tell! If he doesn't get Pacquiao, and he chooses anyone besides Porter or Vergil Ortiz Jr., then he's a wasted talent!

Does anyone think June 5th is a bit short notice to build this fight up (if it happens). Both guys are likely training but promtion wise it seems short notice.Comment
