Breadman: Pacquiao’s team picked Spence over Crawford because they see weakness in Spence

[asgarth]

Are you being sarcastic cause most of Breadmans predictions that he posts on NSB are mostly right.

No. He runs a boxing pick page and has awful picks. Regularly even messes up low odds pick. Lol

pac will fight bud after he beat spence and will probably be one of the easiest fight for pac.

a large rough and relatively unskilled inside fighter like horn gave a younger pac all kinds of problems. people say pac should have gotten the decision but that is beside the point, that style gave pac all kinds of problems and crawford can bring that pressure at a much higher level of skill than horn

spence is much more a conventional boxer. i think spence still is the favorite over pac due to pac's age but that style is better for him than crawford

[elfag]

Just like he was okay with Mayweather vs De La Hoya in 2006? Where Floyd had to leave Top Rank by court to get the DLH fight?

Arum is such a saint.

lol forgot about that part, floyd had to take top rank to court just to get them to honor the clause in their own contract allowing him to buy it out and leave. arum stopped putting that clause in after floyd.

arum is a grade A slimeball, nearly everythign he says is a lie

You might have forgotten that fight..

Dude was 90% wrestling in the ring in fron of his hometown crowd in Australia. That alone should be DQ worthy if that was in Vegas. Not to mention. The referee feared for Horn's health in one of the later rounds that he wanted to stop the fight.

A larger man allowed to foul and wrestle for 12 rounds isn't much sense to compare to Spence. If Spence did that much fouling, he would look like an armature who's desperate to survive with Pacquiao. That's not Spence game. What Horn did was lame, and is not really what elite level of boxing is all about. Know the difference.

Not to mention how Teddy and the rest of the world saw a robbery. So not so sure, what this fight really means to the present date.

Looks like a winner alright.







Bernard Hopkins on Pacquiao vs Horn "Pacquiao got robbed, Bob Arum probably liked it"

[just the facts]

Then why did Bob Arum get Pacquiao and Crawford to sign contracts for a fight against each other?

Why did he attempt to secure financing for the fight?

If Arum has signed contracts for Pac and Crawford to fight each other, why isn't that bout happening?

So Pacs never fighting Bud?

The financing fell through.

Do you really think it matters if the B-side has done 300,000 PPVs buys or not (as a B-side btw, but whatever), when the A-side was in the highest grossing PPV fight of all time?

The A-side is selling PPVs here. Spence and Crawford play the same role. They’re the undefeated, highly ranked p4p guy. They’re not selling PPVs, Pacquiao attempting to overcome them is selling PPVs.

Has Terence Crawford ever done 250k buys? Hell, has he ever done 180k buys?

Pacquiao wanted to maximize his earnings. That's why he chose Spence over Crawford.
