Comments Thread For: Arum: We've Had Tentative Talks For Crawford-Pacquiao; Both Fighters Want It

[Mister Wolf]

What would either fighter get out of this? If Pac wins people will say that Crawford never beat anyone good. If Crawford wins then people will say Manny is in his 40's and too old now. Is it financially a big fight? I dunno, probably not.

Crawford would get a payday and the WBA title as well as the ranking of #1 welterweight universally. Its every bit as big a fight as Pac vs Mikey. Pac gains nothing from beating Mikey.

History cares little for what fans of the time gossip over.

How many farmers has PAC Fought since he moved to 147?

Brandon Rios, Broner, Mathysse, Algieri, Horn, Clottey, Margarito .... should I go on?

Those guys are only "farmers" because you don't like Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao-Crawford is a unification fight and you sound like someone that's impossible to please.

Ok, Brandon Rios was world class coming off a loss and so was Broner coming off two losses.
But using your own logic, you don’t like Crawford so all his opponents were farmers.

Let me guess, Floyd fought farmers as well and lost to PAC too!! Lol

Arum the same guy who said pacquiao wanted no part of bud when he was with top rank. Now all of a sudden, at 40, he wants the fight.
Pacquiao fears nobody. The little guy has b@lls of steel

Pac has never been scared.

Took ledwaba title fight on short notice.

1st featherweight fight was barrera in texas.

1st super featherweight fight was Morales.

Morales beat him, signed up for the rematch.

Marquez was a bad style matchup. Fought him 4 times.

Jumped to 147 after 1 fight at 135 to fight delahoya.

Went toe to toe with cotto and marg who was way bigger.

Anyone who says pac was scared to take a fight is a fool.

Maybe arum or roach was scared. Maybe arum and roach tried to be careful matchmaking.

but pac? Nah....

[Fists_of_Fury]

Pacquiao can stop the cherrypicking hype job. Make it happen. The sooner Fraudford gets exposed the better. That China chin is beyond suspect. Crawford never wanted better testing either so I would bet the farm on Pacquiao without VADA or USADA. If inactive and blown up Gamboa put him on ***** street with a huge size disadvantage and Eurobum Mean Machine dropped him...

[Mister Wolf]

Crawford's right hook is going to give Pac alot of trouble just like it gave Felix Diaz hell. You can laugh and be dismissive if you want. It won't be funny when you see it landing upside that old man's head. Its made for guys that like to leap in winging punches.

I agree with everything you said. Hopefully him and bud step into the truth chamber

[IceTrayDaGang]
