    What happens if Pacquiao demands $20 million or no fight? What's Plan B for TC? In a perfect world, plan B would be Mikey Garcia!

      since when did manny ever demand for something and got what he wants from it? when bob is ready to make the fight, the fight will happen. end of discussion.

        You would think by now, that Manny's balls would've dropped! He should be able to call some shots by now! Then again, that Khan fight didn't go too well.

          i've already explained this numerous of times before. to manny, being a boss in boxing is not something he's interested in.

          he's playing his part as a fighter only, his promoter picks the fight, does the promoting, all he does is get ready for it, collect his check.

          he doesnt view boxing as his main source of income. to be honest, he's not even really into boxing if he's not fighting still. this is why he doesnt care about being a boss or not because he's not looking to stick around the sport after he retire for good.

          if you look at guys like floyd who talks about being his own boss, but floyd is actually into boxing and still sticks around after retiring. he's a promoter now so being his own boss makes sense for his situation. manny is not looking to get into the boxing game after retirement. this is strictly a side job for him. once he's done, he's done.

            I don't think Crawford takes any foe lightly. He's in the gym year round and trains for every opponent as though he's fighting a prime Duran.

            No worries of complacency.

              This seems like the logical next steps. Nothing wrong with unifying the JWW titles and then moving up to 147. Crawford mentioned as much in the post fight interview, and it also makes sense since I believe Manny isn't coming back to 140 anymore.

                  Who is Indongo promoted by?? Crawford should have Pac come down to 140 for the fight, or move up permanently himself after he goes undisputed

                    True. I just think it's going to be a little tougher then some might think. Pac will be extremely dangerous early if Crawford gets through the early rounds I think he has a good chance to look really good as the rounds go on

                      I just hope he makes it out the game in good health, and money in his account. The sport doesn't need to see another broke boxer, being taken down by the IRS!
