    THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY LISTED FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES. This is not an actual suggestion for Bob to follow.

    Bob could get Manny in the ring if he did the following hypothetical strategy:
    the fact that you even thought of that! LOL

    bruh, bob doesnt even have to go above and beyond, if he really wanted crawford vs pac, it will happen!

    you think bob is gonna have to sue pac or go against pac when pac is up for election just to make pac vs crawford?? the phuck!

    this is manny! the same guy that already got knocked out silly, the same guy that still wants a 5th fight against the guy that knocked him out silly! and you're on here claiming he's ducking crawford???? put some respek on his name!!!!!

      If only he'd had the good sense to do this when offered the Clottey fight! Things could have been different.

        he didnt get anywhere near $20 mil for the horn fight so im sure he's passed that part.

        did you even read the thread???? it says right there that manny is insulted to be on an under card.

        Pacquiao apparently rejected the idea of facing Alvarado on the card, because the boxer felt insulted when offered a non-main event role

          Insulted? After the way he fought against Floyd he should be happy to even get put on PPV. Ungrateful. Guy has such an outsized sense of his own value at this point.

          Manny has to understand that right now he is a rich man's Gabe Rosado or James Kikrland.

          he is a gatekeeper albeit in a rich neighborhood.

            proud of manny. finally stood up to his pimp. this is good news.

            mr. 50K crawford vs horn is gonna flop harder than ginobili. that fight has no business on PPV.

              Crawford vs Horn is not PPV worthy. Watch it flop hard like Crawford vs Postol.

                  Bob should feel ashamed of himself, this dude did so much for you and you put him on the undercard, he should leave Top Rank and join PBC, Haymon treats his fighters good

                    C'mon Dunn...he's still risking his life and quite honestly which of the three other boxers involved in this card is going to sell out anywhere but their hometown, hell sell out pretty much anywhere?

                      If Pacquiao truly felt insulted then we would expect more coverage on this, especially from Filipino news outlets many of their sites cover him heavily.

                      What will be awkward is to actually see Pacquiao on the next Top Rank fights, because ideally why would Paquiao ever return given these reported circumstances. We know Pac can't break out from Top Rank, and if that happened, it would be news.
