Arum should have made Pacquiao vs Crawford in 2018

[-MEGA-]

Pac got lucky on this one but arum should have forced this fight to turn Crawford into his number one star. If there's any fight that has tarnished Crawford's legacy, its this one. Its actually still damaging his legacy today when people say his resume is weak or what does he bring to the table. It also hurts his negotiation power. Arum did him dirty

I still think Crawford is a future HOF'r though


What do you guys think this fight would have done for Crawford?

Pacquaio didn't want that fight that's why it didn't happen.

I've been saying this for the longest, Crawford should have done everything possible to get that Pacquaio fight to build his brand but he jacked up royally. There's not really anybody out there for a passing of the torch fight for Bud - Canelo's too big, Pacquaio retired, Mayweather's semi-retired and doing exhibitions fights.

Crawford's stuck between a rock and a hard place, the only thing I can think of is a fight with lol, Jake Paul.

Crawford still wouldn't have been a star. He still didn't have fighters to face even if he beat pac.

I remember when the possibility of the Pacquiao smoke was mentioned to Bomac, probably when they were promoting the Hank Lundy fight. Oh man, hell broke loose with Bomac hurling all kinds of invectives why they had to fight the Pac. Later there were reports that Bud wanted it at his weight or a catchweight or something.

That's why this silly narrative about Pac being terrorized by that Lundy killer was hilarious.

Ha you mean the last Hurrah Manny who upset Thurman. He could have pulled that off against Crawford as well and that whole plan goes up in smoke. They knew what they were doing
