    People have short memory.

    Pacquiao vs Crawford was the fight that was supposed to be made, instead of the Spence vs Pacquiao.

    Arum was all praised for Pac saying the legend accepted all terms in the Crawford fight, but then Bobfather got nervous about the possibility of the fight not making enough to recoup his investments.

    Bud wanted $12 mil and setttled for $9 mil.

    Bob finally passed it on to PBC. This is just recent. And Pac was in his 40's. You gotta be a total moron perpetuating this silly narrative that Pac is avoiding Bud Crawford.

    Hating the guy with such shallow reason tells more about you than anything else.​

      This is total BS, it was lucky for Manny, he would have received a terrible beating worse than the broken bones Ugas received.

      To the post I think deep down Arum didn't want Crawford to knock Manny out and so the fight never happened, I don't think Manny was keen to fight TC either.

        Yes! Both were being promoted by Bob arum and ya said arum will always feed his fading star to his new star!! Ya said the minute, Manny leaves arum, all the dirty secrets will come out! Ya said Bob arum doesn't care about Manny and that Manny does what Bob says!

          That's what you think, I feel pac would have done better against Spence. Style makes fight and we will never know the truth since Spence pulled out, not Manny!

            I cant see it not how Manny looked with Ugas and Spence ran him over, just too big and strong too much pressure and Manny was done adds up to all bad for Manny, but you can never write off a guy as good as Manny was.

              But who do you predict wins in the Spence vs Crawford?

                Im on the fence, I can see Spence winning a late stoppage and I can also see Bud stopping him by 6, its a clash of styles where either guy can win it, as fighters, I like them both.

                  And you still think Pac was scared of Bud Crawford when Spence was the one who backed out of that fight not Pac. You don't realize how silly that sounds? Pac willing to fight Spence, but not Crawford whom you think will be 50/50 with Spence. And we're talking about a 40 yr old guy.

                    I don't think scared comes into it as much as styles do, I don't think he was keen to fight Bud because of Bud dynamic style, where with Spence he seen the car crash see the comeback fight with Danny Garcia and thought, I can beat him, if you look at Manny when Spence called him out in the ring before the crash Manny didn't want him, he picked Thurman instead when Keith was nearly stopped by Lopez after 2 years out and major surgery.

                    Scared is BS calculated match making is very different.

                      You really sound silly bro. I don't think any amount of texts would change what you want to believe. Let's just leave it at that. Manny ducked Crawford if you want that.
