Crawford wants 7 million to fight Pacquiao.

[jqSide]

This is no surprise for me. I've been here long enough to know Arum's advanced footsteps like mentioning Lomachenko when Pacquiao's next opponent is asked. It's precisely to neutralize Crawford's anticipated demands. It's like, "You're not the only option."

Mayweather is referred to as the PPV king. Telll me again the highest amount his opponents got when they fought him. Maidana got $1 million in the first fight. I don't know how much Cotto got...

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

Broner deserves more. He gets big ratings and would sell the hell out of the fight. It's also a very winnable fight for Manny, easier than IMO than Crawford.

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.

Crawford is the next fight. With the negotiation failing in and with Arum not wanting to match Crawford yet then we have no choice and go through with it hoping some extra exposure of crawford would bring in enough dough. But the fight would happen and it would be Manny's last fight.

I think Crawford should be earning $2 million max, what right has he got to ask for so much when he isn't a big draw and he is hardly heard of.

He's a draw and a Champion.

Floyd never scaled back his guarantee of $40 million even when he fought Berto-level opponents. Just imagine if he fought someone like Lara or Thurman.

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

You don't even know what a jab is.

I think Manny's demand for $20 mil is more likely the cause of the fight not happening. He seems to want the same money he was getting when his fights were close to and exceeding 1 mil PPV's. Is that feasible given the sales he is generating now?

No. F**k no. You know me, Dunn. I'm a huge Manny fan. But even I can say that no way, no how should dude be even thinking about commanding anywhere near the average purses he used to pull.

He's not the same Manny that he was. Obviously. In fact he's teetering on being a complete shell of himself. Hell if he's not already. And he obviously ain't the same draw that he was, either. He's not even in the same neighborhood of a draw that he once was. He used to be a bankable 800K to 1.2 mil type of PPV generator. Now he's pulling a fraction of that. 400K, 300K.

If Manny thinks that this current version of himself can still command anywhere near the type of purses that he did once upon a time, he's delusional.

lol....

and whos says anything about this being his last fight? at this point, you either support just because you're a fan, or you dont. pretty simple. no need to throw a fit.

i believe cotto got the most out of mayweather's other opponents besides pacman. $9-12mil or something.

IMO Thaxox suggestion of $15 mil/5 mil split was reasonable. Frankly, I think Crawford should just take $3 mil or so for the opportunity to beat Manny in Vegas.
