Terence Crawford Responds to Manny Pacquiao saying Bud was Scared of Him!!!

[Jsmooth9876]

Arum didn't want to guarantee Manny 20 million that's why the fight didn't happen. As if Manny was scared of Crawford or vice versa..

The fight wasn't gonna make Arum any money a few years ago so he wouldn't pony up the guarantee bottom line.

Now that manny is gone I bet he wishes he took his chances to make Crawford a huge star with a big win over Manny. Now Crawford is stuck fighting no names for the next few years

“If it’s Crawford that Top Rank wants for Manny Pacquiao, then we’ll fight Crawford,” Koncz said. “But we want a guarantee of $20 million.”


The 38-year-old Pacquiao accepted a lower guarantee for his November 5 victory over Jessie Vargas largely because, other than his incomparable pay-per-view fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao’s pay-per-view numbers have decreased in recent years. According to contracts filed with the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Pacquiao’s guarantee for the Vargas fight was $4 million, though he presumably made much more from his share of pay-per-view revenue, ticket sales and other revenue streams.

I take this as 20 Million is way too high of a guarantee. Crawford was not a big name, but a P4P level fighter and Manny could no longer get that guaranteed kind of money. Manny knew full well there was no way Bob could guarantee 20 million for that fight. For Manny to say Crawford was scared is BS and you know it.

20M was a wet dream.
No way that fight would have sold 1M PPV's.
Pac made some $12M for the Vargas and Horn fights at best .
Pac-Crawford would have sold just like Vargas and Bradley III.
Pac lost a lot of fans after the Mayweather fiasco.

Except that there was never any offer made from Arum.

Again, Arum doesn't give a fk what all these people say, Roach, Koncz, you name it.

And how many times do you have to be told that Arum don't give a crap about what Freddie says? Roach didn't want a lot of fighters for Pac like Margarito, Mosley, Bradley 2 and 3, etc. etc. Did Arum listen?

Err, except your false claim used as fact is wrong.
Freddie did not want Mosley before Pac fought Cotto b/c Freddie did not know how strong Pac would be at 147 against a good welter .
Bradley 2? What are you smoking?
Freddie couldn't wait to get that made after Pac smoked Rios. WTF? Pac beat him 8 rounds to 4 in their first fight .
Except the f@g and lesbian judges did not like Pac's anti-gay ( wrongly attributed ) statement and coming in the ring freaking half an hour late .
Margarito ? LOL The one who looked like sh8 beating cab driver in Tijuana before fighting Pac?

[Real King Kong]

What's this? Some guy struggling to half curl 25lbs? I don't get it.

[brettWall]

Please .
Freddie had no problems fighting Vargas, Horn and Bradley.

Wow. These people just want to believe what they want to believe even when you show them a video about Arum saying, "HBO won't match make for us." He's virtually saying, "I need to protect my grandchild Terence."

[brettWall]

He couldn't have because Freddie and Pac wanted no part of Bud .
Pac was some 38 years old and had not fought a big puncher in years .

There goes that Freddie Roach reference again. Bob Arum doesn't give a fk what trainers say. Roach didn't want Margarito for Pac, he didn't want Mosley, Bradley rematch, trilogy, Vargas, Horn, etc., etc., Did Arum listen? No.

Hell, Arum didn't even give a fk what HBO wanted let alone a trainer, that's why he left.

Please .
Freddie had no problems fighting Vargas, Horn and Bradley.

Bottom line is there was never any negotiation that was started between Pac and Crawford. Bob Arum simply didn't make any offers to both camps. If there was show the link.
