Comments Thread For: Spence: I Want Pacquiao Next, But He's Earned Right To Pick McGregor

Manny can do whatever he wants. We're lucky to still be able to see him fight at a top level. Most fighters are shot by this point or long retired. Do I agree with him fighting McGregor? hell no but I do agree that he can pick whoever he wants at this point. The guy has nothing left to prove

Why do some of you even care about Pac's useless WBA title all of a sudden?! Who isn't the WBA champ nowadays? If he wants to fight McGregor, then let him cook!

I want to ask why Spence is focused on Manny when he has Danny in front of him, but most reporters ask fighters these questions and they simply answer them.

Can't wait for Dec. 5th!

Shawn Porter is WBO #1 Contender! I think Haymon might try to get Shawn a crack at Bud first!!!

I hope you’re right but I don’t think so.

I hope you’re right but I don’t think so.

I think it's really up to Shawn Porter to decide! He's not getting a Spence rematch before the IBF winner of Lipinets vs. Clayton! He doesn't get a rematch with Spence if Spence fights Crawford next! His best bet is to have the WBO make him mandatory for Crawford! That way he's still in a big fight! Crawford vs. Porter would be great for ESPN! Porter won't cost as much as Spence, no co-promotion needed!

Proof Spence and Crawford are just afraid of each other

They really have no intention of fighting each other.

Remember people saying Floyd fought Manny past his “prime” yet Floyd was older than Manny and also past his prime? Lol and here Manny is still fighting top opposition years later. So which was is it? Was Manny past his prime or were people saying even at his best a younger Pac-Man was not as skilled as an older past his prime Mayweather?? Somebody help me out there.

[just the facts]

The "right" to fight McGregor? What does that mean, ffs? Pacman is demeaning himself and boxing by doing this fight. He should be fighting Spence or Bud next, I mean it's not like he's getting any younger. The WW is a joke the way the top guys avoid each other.

All that you post might be true but it’s called prize fighting. A Spence/Crawford/ any other welterweight bout flat out won’t put the $$$$ in Manny’s pocket a McGregor fight will. It is what it is.

Huh? What's proof? Because he said manny earned the right to fight McGregor?

Some of you dudes post just for the sake of posting.

You better focus on Danny first. You haven't sparred in a year and you're making a comeback against a top tier fighter. You need to be a 100% to win.

The fight with Crawford won't happen unless one of them or both totally blows up. and maybe a win against Pacquiao might help him accomplish that, but the chances are very slim so I'm not holding my breath.

Agree with Spence. I do hope Pac vacates though, Ortiz or Ennis would get a big career boost from winning the vacant belt. Not sure Spence, Crawford, Thurman, Porter would face them now but if they have a strap that changes
