Pacquiao is a COWARD for ducking Jeff Horn rematch

Pacquiao's whole team clearly stated at the time Pacquiao wouldn't fight Crawford for less then 20 mil, he then chose to fight Horn for 10. Duck duck.
Arum was talking about after the Horn loss. Timeline is important.Comment

What offer was sent by Crawford to fight Manny?He ducked Crawford to fight Horn for less money, then he ducked a Horn rematch to fight Matthysse for less money.
He'll only fight a threat for massive money. The Broner fight will be lucky if it breaks even. So i can't see Haymon paying Pacquiao mega money for his next fight, which means it won't be a top guy.Comment

PRetty sure the Horn fight was for more money. Bob gave him the blessings to pursue that fight because he wasn't willing to put up the 20 million guarantee Manny asked for Crawford. Do you have a source for what Bob was willing to guarantee for Crawford? Reasonable assumption that he would have made more with Crawford with US PPV, but I'm not 100% sure. It might not have been enough in his mind to take a tough fight with Crawford versus what he thought was gonna be a cherry pick for a fat check with Horn. Aussie government ended up putting up an insane amount to bring Manny there and it was Aussie PPV.He ducked Crawford to fight Horn for less money, then he ducked a Horn rematch to fight Matthysse for less money.

Agree that he didn't want to fight Horn again.Last edited by Biolink; 02-01-2019, 03:25 PM.Comment

I believe that Manny was offered more money for Horn than Crawford also. So, I can't fault him for taking the Horn fight over Crawford. Yes, Manny didn't want a rematch with Horn. It was probably the right choice for his career. That was a very brutal fight for Manny.PRetty sure the Horn fight was for more money.

Well, for one thing, Horn is an ungrateful c u n t, and a dirty fighter who came into the ring as a light heavyweight. For another, there is no money to be made rematching Horn. No one wants to see it and it does nothing for Pac's legacy. It was a mistake taking that fight in the first place. Bob was using Manny to launch his young talent and cash in. Notice how Bob protected Loma from Pac. Claims he was protecting Pac from Crawford, but that's not Bob's style.Comment
