      I am a Pacquiao fan but this Is nothing more then an attempt to look good by winning via KO so that It sets him up for a huge payday In November. I would not be surprised If we end up getting Pacquiao/Mayweather 2 once the Mcgregor fight falls through.

        Cant blame manny for trying to get a KO win on tape, make a nice paycheck, and than look for a bigger fight after that.

        If manny sparks horn and looks fast and explosive again, and were going to be talking about who manny should fight next.

        Like manny or hate manny, manny is as an exciting fighter to watch as this sport has ever had.

          No fighter is going to turn down a 2 mil+ PPV fight. (apart from Pacquiao who was afraid of needles)

          Fighting the biggest money fight isn't cherry picking. Fighting bums like Horn because you're afraid to fight guys like Crawford is. B..bbb..but Berto though, that was a retirement fight.

            Money first plus fighting is part of his self image. He should just retire before he suffers brain damage.

                How much is he getting paid? There'll be no US PPV for this fight. I think Khan or Crawford would have netted him more, but he wants $20 mil guarantee for Crawford, pricing himself out. Kell Brook would have netted him more, that fight would be huge in England. He chose Horn because it's a easy fight and will only take a risk for massive $$$. It's not like this is the first time, he chose Clottey over Mosley, didn't want to fight Mayweather because he was happy selling 1 mil PPV fighting lesser fighters.

                    A 2 mill PPV selling fight

                    Pacquiao isn't making $20 mil where you pull that **** from?

                      No its not what he is doing he priced himself out of Crawford and the top WWs because that was the easy way out of very risky fights, he took Horn because its low risk its not his biggest purse he could have made more fighting the top guys but he loses and that concept changes everything.
