    I feel he is happy with the money he is getting it's enough for him to look after his family and enjoy his life and he doesnt care enough to rock the boat
    His biggest rival at WW is getting every big fight that he is unable to get. I understand if he doesn't care but at some point you just have to make things happen. I have a similar opinion with Charlo and GRJ as well. Charlo can say what he wants, but he can go to DAZN for GGG or Andrade or can do something to get them in the ring with him. GRJ couldn't even get the LSC fight which was IN-HOUSE and really he hasn't been able to get any other big fight...So why not approach TR about trying to make a Stevenson or Valdez fight? Tell your team you are leaving to another network or promotional company for a big fight.

    I just can't fathom how Kenny Porter went directly to TR to make a fight and never heard back from them. That is just unreal. Forget going through potential offers, it was literally not one call back to them even when the Pacquiao talks fell apart.

        There's still Mikey, possibly Ugas or Porter, Thurman etc. Trust me, not late at all to get a good name for his next fight. That's not the issue at all, the issue is there is "not enough money" out there......

But I just don't get how there is NEVER enough money for a fight with Crawford and another decent/big name at WW. Only way there is money is if it is apparently in the Middle East where they get a big site fee or something.

            The reasoning from TR at this point is getting flat out embarrassing. Not a Texas or Florida fight! Fighters are too friendly! Can only fight in the Middle East!

            All this talk of these fighters supposedly pricing themselves out for a fight with Crawford, are they asking for more money than they received against Spence or something? Is Pacquiao getting less money in Vegas for Spence compared to Crawford in Vegas?

            This makes no sense at all.
            Would be interesting to see the purses for Spence and Manny compared to what Manny wanted from a TC fight, somehow I think Arum is behind all of TCs problems.

              Pacquiao is not getting less than 25-30M here and Spence likely is getting 10M at least....Spence has been getting 7-9M for Porter, DSG and Mikey, so he's going to want more than that. But no doubt he must have taken a far lesser split vs Manny here to make the fight happen.

                Pac never wanted to deal with Arum again, but Bob kept on trying. Even calls him on the phone, and, of course, Pac, with his culture of not disrespecting elders, has to say something so as not to disappoint the old man. Then bide time, and hope the TR chief would disappear, or have it handled by the MP promotions manager, don't know his name.

                In short, Pac will probably only take Arum's offer if it's big enough like in Dubai or some far-flung area.

                  Top Rank just sucks and is full of **** at this point and Arum has lost all mental ability and needs to be put in a home tbh

                    The man at the age of 90 is still sharp as a tack lol. He doesn't need to be put in any home but his own!

                      Okay, I missed this initially but on Spence's IG post, the last hashtag he used was #BlameBob lol.

                      Crawford's sister is none too pleased is and wondering if Pacquiao is getting 40M for the fight.
