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

[PunchyPotorff]

Crawford wasn't the one wanting $20 mil.

Nor is Crawford the one WORTH 20 mil. Crawford obviously doesn't have much confidence he'd beat Pac, or he'd have ****** it up and taken the fight for 2-3 mil. Upside? Legendary status... retiring Manny. What isn't to like about THAT? This is obviously Crawford ducking Pac. No question.

[PunchyPotorff]

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

You're the moron if you think your idol Crawford is worth more than 2-3 mil in a Manny fight. Delusional you are.

Yet Pacquiao is pricing himself out at 20 mil. He isnt worth that much, especially after the pathetic performance he put on against Mayweather.

[BoxingPugilist]

At the end of the day, neither man is worth their asking price. Manny would cap out at about $15m (a full quarter less than his ask) and Crawford should be thrilled to be in the $2-3m range. Both men priced themselves out of this bout.

Previous fight purses would disagree with your assessment there friend. Manny has long since become legend, and Crawford wants to be legend. He should've ****** it up and taken his 2-3 mil like a good kid. If he's so confident, it would merely have been a formality for the torch to be passed to him. But he isn't at all confident of a win. So he demands more.

Bullcrap pac-girl isn't worth 20 mil anymore that ship has sailed and sunk.stop avoiding the beating Crawford is going to hand you and give a real number so the fight can be made,I guess if it would be another opponent like Vargas you would sign and not make excuses,you both can make money.Your demand shows the fear you must have for Crawford,SMH.

First Roach says Crawfod isn't a good fight for Pac. He has good footwork, he can really **** and hes young. Not a good matchup. Then he says he wasn't offered anyone else. So Manny says he wants $20 million. Arum then says Horn it is! Now somehow magically Crawford is the one pricing himself out??? And we don't have any idea what that price is. lol You guys believe what you want. They're throwing Manny another ripe cherry to go with the many bushels he has been collecting.

Pretty sure they are both to blame here. One is angling for a payday that doesn't represent his drawing power, and the other can't accept that the Mayweather payday was a one-off - and it's back to reality now.
