Re Broner, at least he was a former 4 division world champion and over a DECADE younger than 40yo Pacquiao when he lost to him.

    In comparison, Crawford padded his record against absolute NOBODY's who couldn't buy a world title between them such as Lithuanian Kava (who dropped him ) & Black Sheep Benavidez. He also had that embarrassing tune-up against Avanesyan before the Spence fight.

      Why did Manny avoid fighting him?

        Lol are you kidding me? Pacquiao is a WARRIOR who's willing to fight ANYBODY anytime (just look at his CV and his recent fight against a world champion in his prime despite being 46yo and spending 4 years out of his ring). If the fight didn't materialise, that's down to the promoter's but don't accuse an 8 division conqueror and 3 decade champion of ducking anybody. Have you also forgotten that 42yo Pacquiao had signed to fight Spence before he pulled out of the fight?

          I didn’t ask what you posted. I asked why did he avoid Crawford.

          Do you have a reason why?

            Who said Pacquiao avoided him? Where's the evidence? 42yo Pacquiao had signed to fight Spence (who held 3 belts) before he pulled out of the fight so use your brain

              Crawford and Many people in the forum.

              He signed to fight Spence. That isn’t signing to fight Crawford. Use your brain. Answer the question.

              Like Manny signed to fight JMM a 4th time but didn’t take the 40 mil, no PPV offer to fight Floyd.

              You don’t get credit for not taking one fight because you signed to fight someone else.

              WTF.

                Bud beating Nelo is great and all that. But Shane Mosley fought both pac and Nel o and said pac was toughest he faced. So i can't say buds greater yet

                  Ahahahaha...that's your EVIDENCE? Weak AF

                  In case you didn't realise, Spence was viewed as the SUPERIOR fighter at the time of the Pacquiao fight as he held 3 world titles and had fought better opposition compared to Crawford. Therefore, Pacquiao wanted the bigger, tougher challenge which makes perfect sense.

                  Re Mayweather, apparently Pacquiao pocketed $120m from their fight so of course he was right to decline Mayweather's WEAK $40m no PPV deal. In fact, Floyd only proposed that shitty deal to AVOID facing Pacquiao in his prime.

                  Come on man...you'll have to do better than that otherwise I'll be tempted to call you 'The Big DUNCE'!

                    Regardless what he thinks of Pac if he would got into the ring he would had seen a different thing than what the records and accolades demonstrate.

                    But that 8th weight championship for a vacant fighter against an in house fighter that did not deserve a shot at the title either is questionable.

                      I agree with you about Spence. But He didn’t fight Spence dude. Why are you giving so much credit signing and not fighting him?

                      That fell through and then he avoided Spence. Can you just tell me why?

                      Lmfao. He made him an offer for the most money he would’ve made up to that point and 42% more than the $28 mil he got with the bulk of the PPV against JMM, yet you say it was meant to be declined.

                      You make excuses for Manny avoiding fights. Pathetic.
