    Pacquiao isn't calling out Crawford or Ennis, he wants Conor Benn.
    Pac isn't calling out Crawford or Boots because Benn isn't as dangerous as those 2. At 45 Pac is pushing his luck IMO but at least Benn is the lesser of evils there so to speak

        Manny thinks he sees something he can take advantage of, but this looks to be a complete beat down in the making if it comes to pass. The Ugas fight made it plain as day that Pacquiao's days as an elite fighter are well past him. Benn is going to hurt him and become twice the villain he already is in this sport.

            Pacquiao is reducing himself by fighting Benn. Unless he's flat broke, why is he taking this fight? I guess one can never have too much money, and the Saudis pay big.

              He'd be better off making a cereal or something, like Manny Pacqui-O's.

              Kostya Tszyu licensed everything and made a fortune.

              And Shaq is on everything from insurance commercials to ph balanced bottled water at Lidl stores (it's like Aldi).

                That's actually quite brilliant. Maybe have a balut-flavored option?

                  I can’t understand why people are hating on Benn for wanting this fight. Only a fool would turn down such golden opportunity. This is a winnable fight for Benn so he should be all over this potential matchup.

                  As far as cheating, many fighters have cheated and they just havent been caught so who gives a sht.

                  This matchup is pretty exciting. Im afraid Pacman is pushing it though against a young hungry lion.

                    It's common knowledge he burns through money and the Saudi's have plenty , if it wasn't Benn it would be someone else , it's just a really sad come down but nothing new to boxing.
