    Who cares?

    Who goes back and watches Floyd fights? Nobody. He only had fans because Americans attached racial/national prestige to his achievements. Manny is the people's champ and gave boxing fans scores of classic fights. People will be talking about him and watching his fights for 100s of years from now while Floyd fades away into history due to the boredom his fighting style induced.

      yeah you arent getting it. maybe purposefully. abu dhabi said they were putting up 50 million for the pac crawford fight. pac said ok i get 40 million of that 50 million which is completely reasonable.. later abu dhabi pulled the money so pac moved on. it wasnt oh ill still fight for crawford for 5 million in abu dhabi. there was no more money period in abu dhabi. everything reset to zero. he then decided to fight spence for 5 million since 5 millino is better than nothing or do you disagree? is zero more than 5 million?

        yeah you dont know what you are talking about and are making things up now. they were negotiating the fight based on abu dhabi putting up the money. pac didnt randomly ask for 40 million and oh look abu dhabi said the would give him that much! thats not even rational to think. The fight negotiations between Manny Pacquiao and Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford have imploded after the Ab Dhabi investors failed to come up with the money for the fight. Pacquiao had signed his portion of the contract, but Crawford didn’t sign his part. But with the money never materializing from the Abu Dhabi investors, it makes it immaterial that Crawford didn’t sign.

        yes they could have done a deal but the didnt so he went with spence. like i said whats more 5 million or zero?

            Seething.

            We're taking about people involved in boxing that realise Manny surpassed Floyd already.

              Its you that don't know what your talking about, Mannys demands came before any Saudi thing was announced, the Saudi deal came with Arum trying to finance the 50ml fight.

              “I like to fight somebody who has a title,” Pacquiao said in the interview.

              “We told Bob [Arum] I get $40 million and Crawford gets $10 million.
