Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Decided To Pick Spence Because I Wanted To Give Good Fight To The Fans

[thedarkdragon11]

"Pick" eh? So he admitted that he picks opponents...

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Pac has earn the right to pick and choose his opponents, he obviously sat down with his team and analyse who to pick between Crawford and spence, and they obviously see Spence as the easier of the two. Spence could end up being the most difficult out of the two but I think they see him as being the weaker.

Before the Spence fight was made, Pacquiao SIGNED to fight Crawford. It was the latter who refused to sign the contract and it was widely reported: https://mobile.twitter.com/mikecoppi...702336?lang=en

Crawford was supposed to be the opponent this ssummer. He swerved the fight and now we have Spence.

Pbc cowards... What don’t you understand with your low iq?

If my IQ is low, it's because I keep repeating the same **** to you idiot Crawford fans, and I feel like I'm getting dumber, just entertaining your posts.

What part of Arum has just flat out refused to negotiate with any of the PBC fighters don't you understand? He doesn't feel Terence draws enough, and doesn't feel a fight with any of them will generate the money he has to spend to make the fight. Which is why Crawford fights Top Rank bum, mandatory, washed up former champion....rinse, repeat.

What's funny is that when Bud leaves in October, that'll tell you idiots one thing. And when he leaves, and those fights magically get made, that'll tell you frauds something also.

At this point in time, it should be obvious to anyone with a brain, based on the words out of Arum's own mouth, why these fights aren't happening. But you keep running with your PBC coward narrative, dummy.

Let's pretend Shawn Porter hasn't been knocking on Terence's door for the better part of 5 months now. Let's pretend Terence didn't tell the dude to stand by, and let him work on whatever he was working on. Let's pretend the Paquiao fight didn't fall apart, and Terence still wasn't looking Porter's way. Let's pretend Terence isn't fighting Jose Zepeda on a cold Friday night in October.

And that's why I think its Arums fault, I believe Bud matched into the big names would repay the cost, people pay to see matchups if Bob would put TC in with the big names the paying bums will be on seats.
On the Manny fight it was Manny that wanted 40mill , that was the purse Bob would not pay, Manny accepted 5 mill for Spence you can't blame TC if Manny didn't want to negotiate the 40mill for a TC fight, I'm sure it would have easily been accepted if Manny wanted 5mill for a TC fight.

If you are looking for something to be negative about, you will find it. He is fighting undefeated, huge, p4p ranked Spence. People still complain.

I agree with the first part. You're dead wrong on the last part. Paquiao earned 20 for Broner, 30 for Keith, and you think he's only getting 5 for a Spence fight?

You guys have to stop with the nonsense, unless you're new to boxing. Clearly fighters get a guaranteed purse, plus a portion of the ppv.

[Ray*]

nope! it would have been pac vs crawford but bobby couldnt come up with the funds....

Nope you are wrong … Not everything is about money.

Spence is cheaper and an easier fight than Crawford.

Lol. Cheaper?

Definitely not easier. Terence was on his way to being a one-eyed fighter, before Brook quit (like many UK fighters do) in the fourth round in November. Before that, he got dropped by a C- level journeyman. Why do you think Manny chose to negotiate with Crawford first?

The 40 mill he wanted was a guaranteed purse, then the extras, Spence is 5 mill guaranteed then the extras, Ive been involved and followed the sport for over 50 yrs Im not talking about the PPV cut Im talking guaranteed purses.

Pacquiao’s guaranteed purse, BusinessMirror learned, is $5 million, a measly sum compared to what he banked during his prime some five to 10 years ago but looked ideal during the pandemic.
