Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Was Ready, Crawford Wanted Too Much Money

[Mr. Luthor]

Reportedly Pacquiao received a guaranteed $4 million to fight Vargas. Obviously that doesn't include his PPV percentage, but now he wants a guaranteed $20 million to fight Crawford but Crawford is the one who priced himself out? Do the simple math, is Vargas got a guaranteed $2.8 million to Pac's guaranteed $4 million, why wouldn't Crawford wanted $7 million to Pac's $20 million?

Manny sets the prices when you're the draw you get to do that.

Floyd did it. Oscar did it. Tyson did it. Leonard did it. Etc

He set a price impossible to meet. That tells you one thing, Pacquiao didn't want that fight.

Usually when there is a article on Pacquiao it reaches over 100 comments, not many on this article, he is nearing the end of his illustrious career

Im not even a fan of pac but you cant question him willing to fight anyone during his career he took some real tough fights its just kinda sad the last part of his career is a quick money grab against B level fighters

A retirement fight. Lots of fighters fight weak opposition as their last fight. Pacquiao isn't planning on retiring yet.

pac-tards are POS.

[davef]

Why are you bringing up Berto? I never said that was a great fight for Floyd no one ever did he was basically retired and took an easy option to honour his contract

Either way Berto>Horn/Burns

The rumor is Crawford asked for 7 mil. If so, he definitely asked for a lot. Pac makes 20 mil all the time. That's not a crazy ask. But Crawford would need to take 3-4 mil, which is more than Vargas got to be fair, but apparently Crawford does not want to do that.
