I'm still amazed that Crawford (@147) and Lomachenko (@140) didn't get that Pacquiao money! They both complained about the weights! Broner is probably gonna get that azz whooped, but he's also about to get PAID!
Crawford: Pacquiao must fight at 140

After beating Victor Postol (28-1, 12 KOs) tonight to claim his WBC light welterweight title, Terence Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs) appears to feel that he’s in the position to call the shots for a fight against Manny Pacquiao that he and his promoter Bob Arum BADLY want. Crawford says that if a fight between him and Pacquiao takes place this year on November 5, then Pacquiao will need to move down to 140lbs to fight him for his WBC/WBO light welterweight titles. Crawford won’t fight Pacquiao at welterweight.
“It will be at 140,” Crawford said via ESPN.com, when asked what weight he would consider a fight against Pacquiao.
Asking the aging Pacquiao to come boil down to a weight division that he hasn’t fought at in the last eight years since 2008 isn’t exactly fair to Pacquiao, is it? Pacquiao is 37-years-old now, and he hasn’t fought at light welterweight since his win over David Diaz in June 2008. To me, Crawford setting the condition for a fight against Pacquiao is a deal breaker. If there was any real interest from Pacquiao in fighting Crawford, I think he might have killed it tonight by saying that he needs to come down to 140.

Team Lomachenko: Pacquiao Must Go To 135 - No Catch-Weight!

According to Klimas, the only way they would entertain a Pacquiao fight is at 135 - and they are not even interested in discussing anything even a pound over that limit.
“We have no interest [in moving up],” Klimas told Chris Mannix of Yahoo! Sports. “If Pacquiao can make 135, to come in and compete for [Lomachenko’s] WBA title, Vasyl is the champion in that weight class, it’s a possibility.”
“If we are talking 137 [pounds] and 136, no, there will be no catch weight. If he wants to challenge, he needs to come down. We are not looking to go to 140 pounds. If Manny Pacquiao wants to fight Lomachenko, he can make 135 pounds.”
