Comments Thread For: Crawford To Pacquiao: I Was Scared? You Didn't Want To Fight!

Crawford beats pac at this point might even stop him. I would rather see Crawford vs Danny Garcia or any top welterweight.

Agreed, I hate seeing Pacquiao being used up like this.

at this point pacquaio still beats Crawford imo. Crawfords main butter is fighting south paw vs orthodox fighters.

Pacquiao of old might have been a fight but today he's lucky if he gets past Broner. Pacquiao is just too old, he's a shell of what he was and they're using him. Watch and see, they're using him and when they've used up his name they'll toss him aside.

Educated guess because of Arum's history.
(Its his M.O. to face his EX biggest star Vs. His current biggest star)

Arum originally wanted Pacquiao to fight Crawford but after watching Crawford decimate Postal Roach said no, Crawford was too much for Pacquiao and instead fought Horn. Bob's next consideration was Loma but he was still at 130 and didn't think there was any point in fighting Pac at a catch weight in this late stage in his career.

Ouch! Crawford with the backhand to Pacquiao

Pacs team wanted 20 million for the Crawford fight and Bob wasn't about to guarantee that kind of money.

As if Pac, who's fought everyone and Crawford, who's a beast are afraid of each other. Money talks and Mannys team wanted the pay to match the risk at this point in his career. Bob wouldn't pony up probably because he knew the fight wouldn't make any money at the time.

I bet he wishes he had Manny fight one of Loma or Crawford now as neither guy seems to have a huge name to add to their record unless they get Garcia or Spence who both do business with PBC.

The business of boxing never fails to disappoint us fans unfortunately

Spence said in an interview that TR was protecting Crawford. He said "Why Arum didn't give Pacquiao to Crawford he gave him to Horn?" Which was a good question.

[factsarenice]

Arum didn't want that fight because he thought that he could milk pac for more money and knew Crawford would beat pac down beyond repair. Even roach was on record saying that Crawford would be a nightmare for pac. Pac couldn't even beat Jeff Horn, imagine what Crawford would have done.

My thoughts exactly. A blood bath followed by a burial, I'm glad it never happened.

I think we can all agree that Crawford afraid of Pacquiao is delusional.

Either Pacquiao is promoting a Broner match or he needs an intervention.
