Pacquiao got $20 million for fighting Bradley. He probably would've wanted a lot more to fight Crawford. There's no way Top Rank could've guaranteed the type of money Pac wanted that's why Manny had to go looking for Arab billionaires to pay him what he was asking for. After that whole situation turned out to be a scam and there was no Dubai fights vs Khan or DSG he settled for less money to fight Horn in Australia.Comment

Spence wasn't the champion. Pretty sure Crawford as the champ doesn't want to go over there. I think he wins no matter where they fight but I get it.Comment

Until I see official purses I'll withhold judgment.
IIRC Manny/Roach just didn't want the fight years ago. It's not a duck because Manny was old. Can't accuse Floyd/Manny of not fighting young guys in 2014, 2015, or 2016...it was the twilight of their careers.
It's a good fight though. I'm picking Manny in a close, but clear decision. Might see Thurman get stunned at one point although a KO/TKO is very unlikely.Comment
