Don't Panic! Al's master plan is to make Pacquiao vs. Spence first before Crawford.

How much money would Haymon have to pay Pacquiao to take this fight? It makes all sense in the world for him to feed him to Spence soon to build his star. This is how boxing works when passing the torch.

Either way, after Garcia, Spence needs to fight either Pacquiao or Porter in the summer. Then go after Crawford or Thurman end of the year. 2019 has to be the year he makes a real leap into stardom.

It would take a lot, Manny surely won't go down easily either in the ring or business wise, but the risk is well worth it. If Spence can do his job properly--perform utter destruction--which to me is the more likely ending scenario when they meet--there is little to no doubt PBC will breakthrough and Spence will command an otherworldly respect he deserves, every fight from here on wards is pure gold in his and Al's pocket.

crap fight

pac was in hospital a week before lucas fight, probably from ped use

pac is faded, way too small for spence

[KillaMane26]

Nobody wud have the heart(black) to make that fight...... its just wronnng

[Roadblock]

Spence would eat Manny up, a beat down and stoppage.

Manny will be given Broner and maybe one more and Floyd will asses the rematch fight if he likes it that will go .

Floyd is behind who Manny fights not Haymon !

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Meh. Mikey vs Manny makes more of a salivating match. I would freakin watch that even if the PPV is $100.

Then you can make Mikey vs Spence.

[_original_]

Broner (win)
Mayweather II (loss)
Porter or Garcia (possible win)


That's how I see it honestly. Don't see the Spence fight happening.

Rest assured that Spence will fight Pacquiao before his PBC contract is up by hook or by crook. Al Haymon will make sure that, the opportunity for the torch to be passed is not missed, he won't make the same mistake as Arum did when pacquao asked for 20 million to fight Crawford, Arum would have gained more than that if Crawford had pacquiao's head by now, that was a tremendous mistake by bob to lose some money in order to gain more in the future, a calculated risk. Al will make sure this will never happen, he will pay whatever is needed for Spence to fight Pac and if he wins, he would gain tremendous negotiation advantage against anyone in the future and yes that includes against Crawford.

There is only one caveat, in order for the torch to be rightfully passed, the challenger must leave any doubt and win in a dominating fashion, a Jeff horn win is not gonna work, it should be the same manner as de la hoya beating Chavez sr. to a pulp or pacquiao beating de la hoya from pillar to post etc.. it should be in a similar manner or the mystique won't be there. Which Spence and Crawford is more than capable at this moment. The timing is right and perfect, pacquiao is ripe for the picking. Thank boxing God for pacquiao still giving these young guns one more chance to beat him before he fades into the sunset.

Oh please NO. Broner then Khan or Horn. Retire before it gets ugly, pac’s style ain’t design for longevity and it’s really quite a huge surprise how well he’s done after being past it for about more than half a decade now.
Dude took a lot of contact in his prime, let alone his early fighting days.

Floyd didn’t pass the torch. Hopefully Manny won’t have to as well. I really don’t like those kind of fights though they seem to be needed.
