Let’s Be Honest, Industry Didn’t like that PAC signed w/ PBC / Al Haymon

[Thuglife Nelo]

Pac realizes that there’s no interest in a second Mayweather fight.

if PAC were still with Top Rank, besides the fights, all association, we’d be hearing more about him.

Seems like many industry don’t acknowledge Pac anymore because he signed with Al Haymon. That’s just the way it is.

The funny thing is Pac don’t really care. He seen it all.

If pac was still with top rank he would be stuck on ESPN + . Now he's doing successful PPV's again.

The industry doesn't like it because they are mostly top rank/Goldenboy shills who don't like PBC because the PBC aren't as media friendly.

Why have you fat Yanks always gotta be so dramatic?

The second part yes, point of the thread, first part, partial. We don’t know how Top Rank would operate in making PAC vs. the current stars there. Loma and Bud have had PPV’s too.

If Pac were with Top Rank the Terennce Crawford fight STILL wouldn't have happened by now.

At least by going to PBC we saw him vs Keith Thurman.

He did what Crawford should have done. PAC knew he could not get any more big money fights with TR. He signed with PBC for three fights and so far he got Broner and Thurman. Crawford knew what his options were before re-signing with TR, he had to know it would be difficult to get the big fights with TR.

the industry, as a whole, has just lost interest in pac...i mean...hes still good...hes still relevant...but after floyd they just lost the interest they once had....he was gonna be the big hero....and he came up short....then tried making a lame excuse that no one really bought...

the biggest crime was not his though...the fight should have happened years earlier...but arum kept blocking it and delayed it for years all so he could milk pac for every penny he could....arum lied to the public for years under the guise that floyd was "afraid" of the "lil filipino"....after pac got knocked out though bob was willing to cash that boy out for the big one

Pacquaio vs Crawford would still be possible.
Both of their contracts would expire next year 2020.
They should just elect to be free agents and collide
in the DAZN platform.
Biggest money fight of the year.

Unfortunately, Crawford is showing no signs of leaving TR.

Incorrect. When Pac signed to fight Broner, boxingscene had more articles and picture updates of Pac since like 2010. It was overboard and a bit too obvious with the CBS push. And very nearly as much promotion for the Thurman fight and he was all over FOX shows weeks leading into the bout. Under TR he had no promotion on this site for the last number of years and less and less tv time. Idk what this "industry" is, but he's once again a respected welter. At TR, it was almost accepted that he was past it and not really a threat to any of the top guys....he was certainly being lined up like a past it fighter. People actually think he should fight Errol Spence now. I'm not saying he should, but the narrative has changed. (He doesn't need to fight Errol Spence, for his own health and safety at this stage of his career)

I was thinking more practical. We don’t just need Loma or Crawford for Pac. Top Rank could have easily marketed targets like Ramirez, Commey, or now Lopez for Pacquiao. You just have to create the narrative for anyone. Lopez could easily be paid to always talk smack about Pac and everyone would welcome it
