Crawford wants 7 million to fight Pacquiao.

[Scary]

That's more than Ward and Kovalev combined.

That seems reasonable. If I'm Crawford I eat a couple mil for the chance to be the one to put the nail in Manny's coffin. However, I think Bob/Manny are waiting to see if they can get a rematch with Floyd before they consider taking on a real opponent.

With the chances of the rematch happening because less probable at every second the fight will happen. Jeff Horn would be the last obstacle for the match knowing Pac still wants a payday.

Agree. TC lacks a big name, and Pac is still a huge name.

He is probably worth at least 5 million and 7 million might be reasonable. Broner wanted more than that I think.

Both sides should be willing to accept points over guarantees to get this done. PPV market looks to be in a slump and a huge guarantee is too risky for a promoter. Neither Floyd nor Manny have cracked 500k since they fought, and Crawford isn't really exciting the casuals enough to ensure a PPV success.

They'll get it done eventually. Probably for November or December.

boxings news 24 is a joke.. if you don't see it on boxingscene, it's not true.

Crawford has the worst boxing PPV in history lol, who is he to demand 7M

[The Big Dunn]

Agree. TC lacks a big name, and Pac is still a huge name.

Crawford is unique in that he has a huge support base in Nebraska. He doesn't need to be a big name to make money but he does need another big Vegas win to see if he can become a draw there.

What TC and other young fighters have to learn is that if they really want the big fights that will make them bigger stars, they can't have it all their own way. I read or heard somewhere that Pac is willing to go to 140 for the fight, fair enough but then you can't be expecting to get 3 times your highest pay day on top of that.

TC should settle what is normal in such a situation, probably 2 mill, maybe 3 at a stretch, get Pac at 140 and try and win the fight. Too many young, unknown fighters are pricing themselves out of star turns.

Pac needs to scale back his monetary expectations and on top of that, fighting Horn is inexcusable for a fighter looking to cap off his career. The final moments of a career should be a last big thrust. He should be fighting the elite. If by June he isnt fighting the winner of Garcia/Thurman or Spence or Kell Brook quality fighter then he needs to just Fking retire! Go out with a **** or throw in the towel now.
