Aaaawwwwww shut up! This is what we call a duck/cherry pick/money chase/........

[Robbie Barrett]

Crawford wasn't the one wanting $20 mil.

Manny is an ATG elite level fighter why the hell would they pay a general public unknown almost half of what some allege Manny wants.

The fans show up for Manny i.e Manny is the reason the fight will make money. I'd say give Crawford 3 million make it his biggest payday ever and he should be thankful.

Yep... this is the truth. Crawford wants 7 million because he know's there's a good chance he might lose that "0" and part of his marketability. ..

So Bud wants to be paid for that risk. ..But he has no draw power.

Shocking......Not. Another Jr Welterweight that they will insist move up to Welterweight or an unknown with an atrocious resume and only 17 career fights. Laughable, pitiful and pathetic.

In before all the usual haters react with some denial nonsense..and blame Manny.

So Pacquiao demanding $20 million has nothing to do with the fight not getting made? GTFO moron.

[Mr. Luthor]

Funny how nowhere in this article does it say how much Crawford wanted but the Pacquiao apologists are agreeing that an unknown amount is too much.

LOL. I don't blame him. I'd rather fight Ricky Burns or Jeff Horn too!
