Comments Thread For: Team Pacquiao Stand Firm on $20 Million For Crawford Fight

[al-Xander]

Boring Floyd stood firm with his $40 million guarantee when he faced Berto, who got a mere $4 mil.

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 see

Arum, Roach, Manny, and everybody associated with Team Pacquaio played the public beautifully in the drama with Floyd. They already knew regardless of what they did, the public was gonna side with Manny. So they basically ducked Floyd, while screaming Floyd was ducking them, and won the PR war. Floyd didn't helo himself with hus inability to articulate himself without getting defensive. And that's how they were able to get away with it as long as they did.

lol at arum saying konz is on drugs!! that old man is hilarious “I just got off the phone with Michael. I understand that he had an operation in the Philippines last year, so maybe he’s still under medication but it shouldn’t be discussed in the newspaper,” Arum told The Times in a separate interview.

Pacquiao wants to cash out if this becomes a passing of the torch

[EL_GRINGO]

Manny asking 20
Crawford asking 7
This fight ain't never happening

[HURTFEELINGS]

Pac gonna go from asking for 20 Million to making 2million and actually receiving less than 1 million, to fight Horn then he's gonna come down on the asking price and just get what he can for being sacrificed to Bud. And he's only gonna get oooolder and slower. Father time is ruthless. jinkie his wife will be twerking for floyd to make ends meet.

Manny asking for an amount that he knows isn't there tells me he doesn't want to fight Crawford until he knows the Floyd fight is off the table because he knows its too risky.

[EL_GRINGO]

Pac should fight Kell Brook if he wants to maximize revenue.

He's not a huge draw in the US anymore, but Brook brings that UK money, and I think a fight with Pac would still be a massive draw over there.

good post!!
