According to the Association of the Rumor Mill, Pacquiao is down to fight Crawford for a cool $20 million-plus a portion of the pay per view buys. Which will be a pretty big payday for the Filipino super boxing star. In his fight against Thurman back in July, he got $10 million-plus pay per view buys percentage. What can we learn about Pacquiao in this move? Is he really interested in this fight or does he believe it would be that much better of a fan draw to garner the extra dough?
Bob Arum of Top Rank Boxing Promotions had both Bud Crawford and Manny Pacquiao under his banner at one point. The fight never materialized between the two highly touted welterweights. Back in January, Arum sighted his reasoning for killing the fight was because of the all-knowing crystal ball that made him feel Pacquiao would get the L. “I knew how it would end… Forget my emotions, I wouldn’t want to see him take that kind of damage…” speaking of Manny (Omaha World-Herald, 2019). Mind you this was after Pacman left his promotional banner and signed with PBC Boxing Promotions. So all we can do is wait and see if these two can make it happen, because if this is true; I’m sure Crawford is chewing at the bit to be in the ring with Pacquiao so he can have a solid prizefighter and legend on his record whether he wins or loses.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for the ER
