Pacquiao Requesting $20 Million to Fight Crawford

[Curtis Harper]

How did Rios Algieri Broner Matthysse Horn Vargas earn that pay day ? Crawford stops all of them !

Pac needed those easy W's.

Any semi competent dishwasher would have beaten those guys.

If a guy SWITCHES to a stance, that IS NOT their main stance. They're just showing the crowd they can switch it up if they want to.

Pac will get tenderized if he fights Spence or Bud.

Really? I never realized switching stance was just a show off to impress the crowd.

I guess Cotto suffered badly against Pacquiao cause he was trying to impress the crowd with his switching of stance.

That ONE TIME doesn't take away from all the OTHER TIMES.

That wouldn't have happened had Cotto refused the clause. If Cotto was able to fight Pac like all Pac's other WW's, the outcome would have been drastically different and not in Pac's favor.

Hate to break it to you but Cotto was not a southpaw

Pacquiao Requesting $20 Million to Fight Crawford

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.

As pacquiao fan, i hope the fight doesn’t happen regardless of the money. The thurman fight is a perfect win to ride off the sunset. Pac is already 41, albeit still good has had too many wars, and undoubtedly past his best.. he took a lot of punches to the head against thurman, how much more can he take? We’ll never know.
As fans we shouldn’t be selfish to just want what we want to see.. pac has nothing to prove anymore and has a achieved everything in boxing..
It has proven throughout in history over and over again that those who he didn’t know when to stop past their due dates all got ugly endings.. all faced the ugly truth.. all got defeated by father time..
Would you want that for manny?
Leonard was one of the greatest yet he suffered the same fate... Ali suffered worse... even hopkins got thrown out of the ring.. roy jones kept getting KOed.
“They all said they still can fight and still feel young” until told by fate otherwise..

I don’t want that for manny.. any concern fan, should rally for his retirement, he is set for life.. and had the best memories in boxing I can hope for.

He will always be the people’s champ.

We'll never know that. For all we know, they fought at a stipulated weight and we know the outcome for that. And weight aside, Cotto got confused on how to approach Pacquiao. He tried many sorts of ways like trading, in-fighting, switching, and boxing. None of them worked except for boxing which kinda worked a little bit but was too late already. Cotto switching got himself confused instead of his opponent.

I got Crawford and Spence beating Pacquiao at this point but they better know how to appraoch Pacquiao cause getting confused would be one the worse things that may happen to them against a guy like him.

Arum isn't confident that his future cash cow(crawford) can beat an old senator from the Philippines and past his prime pac that's why he didn't make the fight happen....

Bingo, the Thurman fight must have gave Arum some pause at the potential derailment of his potential cash cow.

[Curtis Harper]

We'll never know that.

We DO know Pac wouldn't have fought Cotto unless Cotto signed that paper.

That was his 1st fight at that weight (excluding DelaHoya fight). He fought rest at the WW limit. Clottey and Margarito were alot bigger than Cotto

Pac is a shrewd guy when it comes to who his opponents are

Again, Pac wanted to fight Cotto at ww after Cotto had already been a jrmw

Your love for Pac is.......unyielding ?!?!?!?
