Who deserves the "farewell Pacquiao" payday?

[Fetta]

Its gonna be Crawford....He is the only one in the top rank staple between 140-147 with star potential and Arum has to milk Manny one last time for the road

And thats why i dont think itll be Crawford.

He gonna try to use an outside fighter.

And i still say its Vargas

You can make arguments for a few guys & I couldn't disagree to much, but I think the ideal way for Manny to go out is vs Marquez. I think it'd actually be the ideal way for both guys to go out. People talk Manny & Floyd being a big rivalry in boxing, but I believe Manny & Juan Manuel had a much more historically significant & competitive rivalry.

Now if they can just get Marquez on board lol. And they could put Crawford vs Postol as the co-main.

Pacquiao has tried and tried to get the 5th fight with Marquez. Marquez wants to leave their series with his KO win. He has never ever considered a 5th fight with Pacquiao for one second no matter how much money is offered to him. You can't make a fight with a guy who absolutely does not want that fight.

Hence why I said if you can get him on board.

I like the Pac/Crawford matchup. I just dont think Pac would get credit for beating Crawford. Excuses of "he was still green" or "Pac went out fighting a LWW" will run rampant.

Khan is no slouch and can give Pac lots of problems with his speed and reach. At the same time Pac can spin his neck around with a KO punch. LOL. It'll be a very interesting and entertaining bout.

Beating Crawford is a ROI type of victory. If he goes onto have a good career, manny will get credit in the long run for beating him

Vargas fights for Top Rank. How is he an "outside fighter"?

[Yodpayak]

Pac wont waste his last fight a slowweight, Crawford is the biggest threat but will be defeated easily.

Is he? I knew he fought for them but didnt know he was actually signed. Ruslan/Algeri type outside i thought he was but ok

[Showtime..]

Maidana. Pac has been ducking him for over a year now, if Pac doesn't face Maidana the blatant duck with stain his legacy forever.

Maidana retired.

Khan is not getting the fight. Arum will keep it in house. If Crawford win he will be what Arum wants, another star.

Amir might have talked himself out of another big fight. All he has left now is Brook. Khan might be enough of a bum for Brook to take the fight

Dude is coming off a loss to the P4P guy Pacquiao schooled.
