Copp: Bud vs Pac in advanced stages. Went dead when Bud demanded 9.5 mil guarantee

[JimmyValmer]

-TR was in advanced stages with Pacquiao to put a fight in the Middle East where Pacquiao would receive a 23.5M guarantee and Crawford would receive a 6.5M guarantee with upside of $5 dollars per PPV exceeding 300k buys. Crawford countered with a 9.5M guarantee with $500,000 upside. According to TR, the fight fell through due to Covid but Crawford's side is tired of hearing why the Pacquiao fight continues to fall apart since TR has been "dangling" it in front of them for years.

How legit is this? Pacquiao has been with PBC for a minute now, so don't see how COVID stopped these negotiations?

It was reported by DAZN shill coppinger in an article on that paywalled athletic website

demanded 9.5M when he is not the prize fighter people want to see. he is not even a PPPV guy. shouldn't demand that high unless he wants another reason to kill the fight. i feel sad for bud. keep fighting bums until no one recognizes him. pac will only carry this guy to have a high PPV buys

to be fair Thurman just got 8 Million for the Pacquiao fight so what is the problem one of the best P4P asking for 1.5 Million more than One Time

Thurman was an undefeated champion and Manny was fresh off decisively beating Vargas and Broner.

Crawford is fresh off getting two-pieced, wobbled and dropped by an unknown.

That's why.

thurman has been a much better draw than thurman so crawford asking for more than thurman is extremely suspect

He is WBO Champ and considered one of the Best P4P, that is worth more than Thurman I would think who himself was Wobbled by Josesito Lopez!

Thurman been injured and barely active over the last few years and avoiding Spence Jr

[tritium_arma]

If he got the same PPV buys as the Thurman fight with the original upside, he'd get more than the $9.5 million so not sure how accurate this was or if Crawford can't do math.
