AND...remember, it was Crawford who specifically said the fight wasn't going to happen, "60-40 to me or NO FIGHT!", he's thinking about "other things", etc.
Also, for NSB:
Note that your guy is now talking in the third person. So I expect you to now trash him like you did with other fighters who did/do that.

I haven't liked how either guy sounded when asked. They both say yes but we haven't heard 1 thing about how negotiations have gone or what % of negotiation has been complete. It's like, "Are you going to face X now?" "Yeah, I don't see why it can't be made now." End of story.
I'd like to hear something, yeah, we're working on it, we should be all set for "X" month later this year. I wouldn't be surprised if neither guy has called the other guy's camp yet, lol.Comment

After beating Victor Postol (28-1, 12 KOs) tonight to claim his WBC light welterweight title, Terence Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs) appears to feel that he’s in the position to call the shots for a fight against Manny Pacquiao that he and his promoter Bob Arum BADLY want. Crawford says that if a fight between him and Pacquiao takes place this year on November 5, then Pacquiao will need to move down to 140lbs to fight him for his WBC/WBO light welterweight titles. Crawford won’t fight Pacquiao at welterweight.
“It will be at 140,” Crawford said via ESPN.com, when asked what weight he would consider a fight against Pacquiao.
Asking the aging Pacquiao to come boil down to a weight division that he hasn’t fought at in the last eight years since 2008 isn’t exactly fair to Pacquiao, is it? Pacquiao is 37-years-old now, and he hasn’t fought at light welterweight since his win over David Diaz in June 2008. To me, Crawford setting the condition for a fight against Pacquiao is a deal breaker. If there was any real interest from Pacquiao in fighting Crawford, I think he might have killed it tonight by saying that he needs to come down to 140.
“If Bob Arum wants that fight and my coaches want that fight, that’s something we’ll talk about later,” Crawford said. “I let my coaches handle that. I am a fighter and I will fight anybody. I’m happy and I’m about to go on vacation. We not worried about Manny Pacquiao right now.”
Comedy.
However, we have to put some blame on Manny, who said this after beating Jessie Vargas:

Another fight that fans are demanding is a showdown between Pacquiao and WBO/WBC junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford, who was also sitting ringside in Las Vegas. Crawford would like to do that fight at 140-pounds, as would Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach.
"I'm gonna go back home to the Philippines and back to work in the senate, and then I'll talk to [Top Rank promoter] Bob [Arum] about my next fight," Pacquiao said. "I don't know who the fight will be -- whoever the people want me to fight. I am not picking an opponent. Whoever my promoter gives me, I will fight. Anybody at 147. Crawford at 140? Not a problem."

Great to hear, Silence is a good thing, that means negotiations are happening
Fighters Teams and Fans need to STFU, stop trying to accuse people of "DUCKING" and let them sort this thing out and get it done You got Jackasses throwing out FAKE NEWS that "Bud Is Pricing Himself Out He Wants $20 Million and 50/50" STFU PLEASE!
Both fighters repeatedly saying they want that next, both saying it will happen just be patient and enjoy other fighters that are official and coming up soon
Some of you don't want this fight to happen it seems, you want bad news, you want to hear "Negotiations Fell Apart" so you can jump online and keep pushing your Narrative of "Spence Ducking" or "Crawford Ducking"Last edited by sicko; 05-26-2022, 03:43 PM.Comment

The fight will happen, I cant believe the negativity that comes out of this forum, if you ask me it's so obvious the fight is going to happen you only got to look at the big picture and add up all the evidence over the last few mths, its ready and about to go down, if you wasnt in so much of a hurry to try and find negative sht in everything you would see the fight will happen unless the bazaar like a sports car hitting another wall or one of them gets cancer.
There is so much paranoia in here I don't know what the fck is going on with people, planet needs a reset.
