$20 million isn't very realistic in the current climate. Brook in England would generate good money but even if it was wembley stadium and sky box office that amount would be difficult. A crawford fight wouldnt generate half that amount and canelo is far too big. Is manny broke or what?Comment

Anyone that think Manny is remotely scared of Crawford because he requesting 20mill is crazy, and im not a huge Pacman fan. 20 mill use to be the minimum for Manny purses and he probably believes a fight with Crawford is a huge fight. Unfortunately, Crawford hasn't crossed over to the mainstream yet. Def a PPV fight but Manny got cut his pay in half, market the hell out of the fight, and make his money back from the PPV sells. Crawford needs to sell it too .Comment

Amir Khan in the UK, or UAE!Comment

Manny, at the very most, did 400K PPV buys in his rubber match with Bradley. He did in the neighborhood of 300K with Vargas. Neither of those match-ups are as appealing as Crawford. But $20M more appealing, I think not. And Crawford isn't bringing many fans to the table either. He did 50K buys with Postol, in what's the most appealing match-up he had in his division. Unless somebody has a bunch of money they wanna just donate to the Manny Pacquaio Retirement Fund. I can't see any halfway competent businessman guaranteeing Manny $20M to do anything.Comment

yeah that would be a big money fight or against Amir Khan in England and a good way for Pac to cash out and retire he might get knocked out cold but at least he will get paid well. Crawford offers nothing for team Pac, plus Crawford is a boring personality who will never be a superstar so its a worthless fight at Pacs stage. Might as well just fight Jeff Horn for the same amount they paying him.Comment

Basically Manny is saying, "if you want me to pass the torch...SHOW ME THE MONEY!" It's a fair request because Oscar got paid when he took that azz whoopin'! Manny can't beat Crawford, both Roach and Koncz know it, and Arum doesn't give a ****!Comment

just be consistent BOXING SCENE PEOPLE. when someone asks for that kind of money, what do you guys call it, it rhymes with QUACK. But in all seriousness, he's not gonna get that kind of money unless he can persuade floyd to comeback and fight him, and the way to do that is to fight Broner (Broner will sell that fight) and beat broner and thats the best way for him to entice floyd to come back. EVEN IF HE SIGNS TO GET 20 MILLION HE WONT GET 20 MILLION:
Arum 27%
****z 10%
Roach 10%
THATS ALMOST HALF ALREADY GONE BEFORE TAXES, HOOKERS, AND HENNESSY

And now we see why the fight took so long to make. Manny was out of opponents. He was down to fighting Algieri, Rios, & rematching Bradley. Bob was never going to make that fight until Manny had no one else to fight. They gave into all of Floyd's demands from years earlier. Bob won't even make Pac-Crawford and they're both his fighters. If people don't see now who the hold up was they'll never seeComment
