Comments Thread For: Spence: I'll Give Pacquiao That Retirement Check That He Needs!

[sargo]

Be the first to truly beat Pac among the current champs and be the man of WW.

I give Pac a much better chance than Mikey, because of those tree trunk legs. Mikey is a slow plodder at 147 and Manny has wheels, but he's just as short. He has to leap in to land.

I saw very well executed game plan from a bigger guy with a longer reach, Spence.

Spence used his advantage, kept the jab out all night, and imposed his size to beat a smaller fighter, Garcia, who has never fought at WW.

Now Pacquiao is a different beast.
1. Pac has been a WW
2. Has experience with bigger men
3. Punches harder the Garcia
4. Faster then Garcia
5. More experience than Garcia.

I don't see Spence walking through Pacman. It'll be a big test for Errol.. Signed it already.

HE didn’t fight Crawford, why would he fight Spence?

He was willing to fight Crawford. He said so himself and no one believed him.

Till it was revealed that it was Arum who killed the fight

[Jubei]

Any other undersized lightweights or corpses for Spence out there?

[KTFOKING]

HE didn’t fight Crawford, why would he fight Spence?

Because he still ran the show on his side when he was with TR. Haymon paid off his tax bill and may be able to get him to take the Spence fight.

Also, Arum has already stated he scrapped the Crawford fight. So maybe that is the main reason the fight didn't happen.

Don't let yourselves be fooled, lol.

Pacquiao's minimum is $20m, and Spence Jr might just be on the money now (depending on what his numbers look like).

If folks earnestly think that Pacquiao is going to get $35m, with Spence getting $7m, after Saturday no less, it's beyond silly.

With Mikey not winning, Pacquiao's next fight is almost certainly Keith Thurman, simply because Thurman likely goes for a $20m to $8m split needed to make the fight (Thurman may even go for $6m with a better share of any upside).

I think Manny at age 40 can still beat Spence...

It will be a slaughter dude, Pac should fight Thurman, Porter or Garcia.

[Ake-Dawg]

PAC should fight Thurman or Floyd rematch, don’t give that weight bully Spence a paycheck the ppv last night flopped hard! Back to FS1 pbc

Wow...I hope the fight doesn't happen. I'd hate for you to blow a gasket over Spence getting a payday or PBC having success.
