Comments Thread For: Arum Eyeing Pacquiao vs. Crawford For Mid East Or Macau

I got Manny stopping Fraudford. No VADA or USADA testing and I'll bet the stimulus check on it lol.

This fight goes the distance with Pacquiao winning. 🥊

“I had feelers out before all of his happened with the coronavirus,” said Arum, “where it was pretty much down the line about getting a Pacquiao-Crawford fight on late in the summer or in the fall. Then, of course, everything blew up. But I am optimistic that I will be able to continue with these talks in the next month or so. I talked to Terence and [trainer/manager Brian McIntyre] about it. It appears to me that Crawford and Pacquiao wanna go ahead with that fight.”

This quote is hurting the Terence Crawford haters.

I don’t know if I see this fight happening. If Crawford beats Pacquiao than Haymon will know Crawford has more leverage in a fight against Spence. Right now Spence has 2 belts & the better resume at welterweight. A win over Pacquiao would make Crawford the A-side in a fight against Spence.

I disagree. When Spence fought Mikey, we didn't attribute those 47K fans to Spence. If Crawford fights Pacquiao, we won't attribute those numbers to Crawford either. I still think Hearn gets a deal done, and Manny fights Mikey! That's a more competitive fight, and both fighters are more popular than Spence and Crawford. If Spence fights Crawford, there will be no "A-side." It will be a 50/50 Wilder vs. Fury type of deal.

I would love to see how the Spence haters would react if Manny chose Spence instead? Then it would be "Spence is wrong for fighting an old man!"

You can say the same about 'Bud' fighting the old-man, whats your point?

Pac is turning into a sensei.

Pac showed Matthysse what it takes to be a champion

Pac showed Broner what it takes to be elite

Pac showed Thurman what it takes to be HOF

Pac might just show Crawford what it'll take to be an ATG.

You forgot Horn, huh? He's a level above the 3 elite you have mentioned...

Sure Pac wins decision, about the same time a hotel opens on Mars..

Mathysse had lost to Garcia and was irrelevant at 147. He was rebuilding but still irrelevant despite the two wins against some unknown journeymen.

Broner was coming off a loss to Garcia and a draw to Vargas. Another irrelevant guy at 147.

Thurman was a legit win. I can’t discredit that but to PAC’s resume is littered with Bums like Brandon Rios, David Diaz, Mathysse, Horn, Algieri, catchweights etc.

I bet you are Filipino

None of that matters. Both Crawford and Spence want the fight...they BOTH feel it cam be BIGGER so they are BOTH trying to take and win interim fights to build it up.

If Manny wins it is Manny Spence. If Crawford wins it is Crawford Spence.

Same goes for Spencer. If he loses to whatever cab driver he plans on fighting that Cabby will fill in for Spence against Crawford or Manny.

This is not Floyd Manny. Much less egos in the way (Floyd)
