    KEEP SEETHING SON

    Same people say Floyd is the better fighter, its a joke how you go for the hype title above the actual boxing, but you back the loser so it all fits.

      I back the legend that gives the fans exciting fights rather than the point fighter. Very likely you only back a certain type of fighter to love vicariously through them, as a means to bolster tribal pride . Many such cases.

      Anyway Manny is universally considered the greater fighter now. That's got to sting

        why do people comment on things without context? abu dhabi was reportedly putting up a lot of money for the pac-crawford fight but that fell through so the money wasnt there.

        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

        manny wanting 40 million was in relation to a 50 million dollar pot that was proposed, now that the 50 million dollar pot isnt there he moved on. what offer did top rank make? none. pretty sure 5 million minimum plus upside is better than nothing.

          I don't think it means anything other than you back the hype, I back the guy that beat the other guy in a boxing ring, I back the guy that HOF fighters that shared the ring with both state with no doubts that Floyd is the better boxer, the boxing is all I really care about, there is an old saying in pit dogs " the BS stops when the tale gate drops" , in fighters that's the ring., Floyd beat them ALL in the ring, the hype can never take that away, Mayweather was the best boxer of his era, and by quite a margin.

            But Manny walked away with a firm 40 mill demand, why didn't he accept any lower offer and take TC, why accept such a low ball purse for Spence, it kinda glues itself to Team Pac stating Spence is not the same they think he is a crash test dummy, is that why they took such low money, I don't Im fishing but its looking like a TC duck from Manny.

                Tell me why would he demand 40 mill for TC and take 5ml for Spence, WHY?

                I'm fighting out of passion (msn.com)

                Pacquiao said if he is fighting just for the sake of money, he should have just chosen to face a YouTuber like Mayweather did.

                "If this is just for money, I would have chosen someone weak and not a boxer. If this is just for the money, why would I take on an undefeated boxer? This is the real fight; not a fight where your opponent is not a boxer," Pacquiao said.

                "I'm not like any other boxer out there, who is just fighting for the sake of money, fighting someone who is not even a boxer. What I want is a real fight; to challenge the best. It's always been like that."

                  well there is nothing wrong with pac demanding 40 million if the pot is 50 million. manny is the much bigger draw and the reason abu dhabi wanted the fight in the first place. what happened is the money was pulled so the whole 50 million pot didnt exist. manny wasnt saying i want 40 million any time for a crawford fight. it was in context of abu dhabi putting up the money. since that money was no longer there he moved on, from my knowledge top rank didnt offer any counter offers so what was he supposed to do?

                    Then why take 5ml for Spence and want 40ml for TC if money doesn't matter should be one price for all, so in other words if TC offered 5mill Manny would take it but he didn't do that he walked because he never got 40ml so money does matter, cant you smell it I can, some really bad cooking going on in the Manny backroom..

                      Before there was a mention of Abu Dhabi Manny demanded 40 mill, there was no pot only his demand, when the whole Saudi thing failed they could have done a deal all the way down to 5ml for Spence, but Manny didn't he walked to Spence for 5ml , smells bad for some reason.
