Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Crawford Likely To Happen at 140

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It wasn’t the follow-up he envisioned to a Fighter of the Year-level campaign he enjoyed in 2014, but Terence Crawford made the most of the in-ring opportunities with which he’s been presented in the past 12 months. The unbeaten fighting pride of Omaha, Nebraska won every round of his two fights on the year, both of which have come in his second title reign in as many weight classes.

Crawford will beat PAC

[MOMENTO MORI]

as it should. Got manny taking this.

[Andre Ward]

Is it that easy for Manny to make 140?

[Build That Wall]

Good. No catchweight.

At this point I don't think Pacquiao wants to go through the process of making weight even if he doesn't struggle much to make it.

[BOXEO _]

When was the last time Pac fought at 140?

Is Arum gonna put this in Omaha too?

Arum looking to make this very favorable for Crawford.

He has to make it favorable its a business, he needs Crawford to win to prolong name value. Crawford is highly marketable, after he showed personality in his post fight speech he won me over, I used to think he was just another Cotto giving robotic professional answers, he actually smiled in his post fight interview and gave some swagger. Also he is backed by Warren Buffet who has attended his fights in Omaha, when you have the richest man in the world as your backer and number one fan there is no way you can fail.

This is what I think too. That they're looking to sacrifice manny

Usually the onus is on the lesser status fighter to move into his opponent's weight class

They want this to be at 140, so Crawford can easily continue campaigning there to build up his career
