Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Wants $20 Million Guarantee To Fight Crawford, Says Koncz

I think Pacquiao is absolutely right about demanding $20 million. He will fight one or two more times, so he might as well cash out on a tough fight. Its a in-house fight, so Arum should have no problem with it. Manny has made him millions over his career.
I think Crawford poses problems stylistically for Manny, but it is still a winnable fight because Manny is so unorthodox. Gamboa hurt Crawford, so pretty sure Manny could too. 51-49 fight to me, with slight favor to Crawford.

And Crawford is the name most fans want Pac in the ring with. And if he only wants April, let him have it. Ask Joe Smith Jr how easy it is to juggle boxing with a full time job.

Pac wants 20 mil guarantee because Arum is going to take half of it. Pac is an idiot. Why would you stay with the guy who is screwing you out of money. Really wish somebody would finish that audit.

I have no problem with the demand, but I do think Crawford himself isn't quite a big enough star for that sort of demand. But I can see why Pac wants it because he is probably the most dangerous opponent for Pac right now (beneath his weight)

Sorry, but this isn't 2009 anymore. Pacman doesn't have the same draw as he once did. He's nowhere near worth $20 mil.
I would say his worth is more like a $8 mil guarantee, and even that might be on the high end.

Pac is not a draw like he was a few years ago and Crawford is not a big star outside of boxing. Demanding $20 million, I don't man, seems like he price himself out.
