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

    There was a time when Bob Arum was sure we'd never see a Manny Pacquiao-Terence Crawford fight. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's trainer, didn't like that fight for the Filipino icon when Arum's company, Top Rank Inc., represented Pacquiao. Even Arum himself didn't think Pacquiao would have a chance to defeat Crawford because Crawford was too good and too young for him.

    So people will knock him for beating Spence, but beating a 41-year old is just fine LOL. Crawford is such a fraud.

      Pacquiao asked for 20 million guarantee for Terrence Crawford and Bob says no. That says all.

        There's a distinct possibility of Manny putting Bud on his ass multiple times in the early going.

        Pac's problem at this age is his stamina, otherwise I'd bet big on him.

          Only fans have Manny placed on the protected species list, he is an ATG and holds a title, would you rather Manny fight C graders like Rios so you can crow how good he is lol.

          Manny is a major target for all WWs, I dont care if Bud fights him or not , just both of them should fight top guys next.

            Great fight, I hope it happens.

            Manny has proven that he's still a top WW

              Lucas, Broner, and Thurman straight. Pretty impressive for a 41 year old. Better names than Crawfords last 3 opponents.

                Beating Thurman is one thing but Buds style is not good for Manny but it will be a lot closer than I would have thought a year or 2 ago

                I think the pac looked superb vs Thurman where as Bud looked pretty average in his last two fights

                  Pac v Marquez V will never happen because of VADA, JMM knows that he will be exposed.
