    True, but it won't work for him from now on. Like Danny, he now needs Spence more than the other way round and can't see anyone waiting on Thurman or calling him out

      Pac used a ''surgery'' as an excuse for losing to May.

        Thurman’s injuries were post Collazo.

        From 2014-2015 Thurman had been making noise that the WBA needed to force the Floyd fight. Thurman at that time wanted smoke with Pacquiao. Geez that was 4+ years ago when Thurman was prime. Floyd then chose Berto for #49 when Thurman was the obvious commodity for Showtime. So it was all Show, Haymon, and Floyd fooling around to “save” Thurman and not lose to Floyd even though they all knew it was a possibility that Thurman could quite possibly win considering Maidana cards.

        And then you must wonder why it was Thurman whom was the driving force for PBC’s stardom. It was Thurman and Swift Garcia whom carried PBC business with ratings for Al’s mainstream portfolio. These two got paid well that they didn’t make any noise for bigger fights and Haymon was able to capitalize on Wilder and Charlo marketing.

          At least he fought him and didn’t retire to avoid smoke...

            When it comes to Spence...Thurman is always injured and going in and out of surgery...

              May did what he wanted with boxing and is now living his life. And people still clamor for him.

              He unretires tomorrow, he's the new cash cow.

              Pac who ?!?!?

              Now that's power.

                Interesting take...Thurman only wants big money fights with Pac and Floyd...will stay injured until either one takes the fight...Floyd “retired” so that leaves the Pac rematch...which Thurman will wait out for until his “injury” heals from “surgery”...

                  I honestly wish Spence would just go off on him in his face and just curse the dude out. Knowing how EJ is, if Keith catches him on the wrong day trying to talk fly he will be cursed out. I think Spence should see him out in public and playfully flirt with his Girl.
