Manny Pacquiao to come out publicly and declare that the winner of that fight would be his guaranteed next opponent.
Manny can easily do this because he just finished his 2-fight contract with PBC and he could easily shop between the two streets.
Of course, PBC would prefer to lure Manny to fight the winner of Porter vs Spence, which is obviously gonna be Spence and unify 3 titles before going for Crawford. But that means, they would be asking for a 75-25 split with Top Rank and that's where the buck stops. Bob Arum don't want the fight if he's going to end up in 25-35% side, even if that is the real fair situation.
This is the perfect solution because networks and all fighters understands that until you get Pacquiao's head, Spence nor Crawford will find themselves unable to leap into the next stage of stardom even if they fight each other, it doesn't matter if they clean up the division, without Pacquiao's head, your level of fame is limited.
Pacquiao is the key to unlocking mainstream and casual fans. But you gotta really beat the man to be the man. Don't go the Jeff Horn way, it's not gonna cut it. Beating Pacquiao dominantly without any sort of controversy will earn a non-charismatic figure like Crawford or Spence a "charisma"--an attraction. This gives them a chance to leap to the next stage of fame,--they don't stand a chance at super-stardom without Manny Pacquiao.
