If he gets the Crawford fight for 20 million i doubt he would be still fighting after that, and Arum, if he lets the Crawford fight go on too late Crawford would be 31 by then slightly passed it, too late to be the cash cow.
Do you think he will still be fighting in 2019 at the age of 40?
Manny Pacquiao will continue to fight for as long as someone somewhere is willing to pay to see him fight; as the man himself has said, he needs to keep fighting to support his family.
Whether Bob Arum can manufacture a run that long for Pacquiao (to get to that point, you're basically looking at 5 fights) is another story.
The US audience is already done with Pacquiao; Macau may have somewhat continued interest, and Australia/Phillipines are there for at least one novelty fight. Does Arum have five fights to work with without getting Pacquiao washed by Crawford? not too sure.
