Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Never Received Pacquiao Offer at Any Weight!

[PoserExposer]

Read what Bob Arum said once then twice. At which point did he say a fight was offered to Manny or Crawford at 140? The man never said that, simply said Manny chose Jesse over Crawford due to weight. This article is garbage as it has nothing to do with offering the fight to Crawford.

What the **** are talking about? Ruslan wanted Pacquiao, Bradley does NOT want Crawford. Crawford does NOT want Bradley! Can't you see a big difference?

Though other possible Pacquiao opponents -- such as another junior-welterweight world champion, Danny Garcia, and former Pacquiao stablemate Amir Khan -- have been mentioned, Provodnikov wants the Pacquiao opportunity, Roach said.

“I still don’t really have interest in that fight, but his manager came begging to me to make it happen, and I asked Ruslan, ‘Do you really want to make that fight happen? You’re going to lose me as a trainer, and have a slim chance of winning,’” Roach said. “Ruslan said, ‘Well, we need big fights like that.’ I said, ‘If you want it, I’ll give it to you.’”

all i know is pacquiao has absolutely no control over who he fights. .arum picked vargas because he was turned off by buds performance vs postol. it was definitely the sweet science but bob wants an action fight. .mark my words and sig this..manny and vargas will be a trilogy..watch.

Manny can fight whomever he wants and refuse who he doesnt want , you guys live off hype and are very gullible , Vargas is the easiest fight he could have thats why he was chosen .

Koncz already said why they didn't pick Crawford. It's because they want a guy that will come to Pac and make him look good. Not that I care, because Pac earned the right to do what he wants at this stage in his career.

It will definitely be a more entertaining fight for the fans with the way it is set now with Vargas. Vargas/Pac compared to Crawford/Pac is no comparison. I can see Pac haters getting mad at the current fight, but I'm probably one of many who will stick with choosing Vargas. Maybe fight Crawford later.

Sorry you can't get it! There's a big difference friends who want to fight and those who don't. Anyway, it's a lose-lose! Bradley gets nothing for beating a Jr. WW, because unlike Pacquiao, he can't go back to 140. Crawford gets nothing for beating Bradley @ 147, because Bradley doesn't have a title. Neither Bradley nor CXrawford sell PPVs! So if I'm Crawford, I want Danny Garcia @ 147, for the WBC WW title, or I want Adrien Broner @ 147, so I can make some money!

friends??? this is boxing. its a sport. look at you trying to justify this now. so they both dont sell ppv?? so then why are you saying pac is ducking crawford then? he doesnt sell right? when has manny went back down to 140? you guys complain about the same match up but look how quick your shooting this one down. does eli and peyton manning sit out for the game when both their team play against eachother? lol

Manny is doing what he should at this point in his career, fight the lesser threat, for bigger money! It's Manny's team, i.e. Roach and Crawford that always steps in their own ****! It was Roach, not "you guys," that said Manny would be best @ 140, and that Manny walks around @ 138! It was Arum who said the target was Crawford, then suddenly, after Crawford is a threat, the choice is Vargas! If you read the article that started this thread, who started the controversy? Arum said Manny turned down Crawford because he didn't want to go to 140, implying Crawford didn't want to go up to 147. Now Crawford is saying he did not get any offer at any weight! "You guys" didn't start this, it was Team Pacquiao and Top Rank! Who said Manny was afraid of needles? Who said Manny was given suspect shakes? Who said Manny has already signed contracts that never existed? Team Paquiao and their followers are the laughing stock of this site, because they're always the most ignorant sounding mother****ers in the world! GTFOH!
