    That's why.
    Thats funny Thurman had two years out with surgery's and was nearly KOed by a guy Maidana stopped and Manny ran from Spence right to Thurman because he looked nowhere near his best, a wounded duck ready for taking.

    Manny dont want TC thats why it aint happening anybody that thinks Manny doesnt have the major say on his fights dont know boxing.

      No, but I don't recall Floyd ever - EVER - getting wobbled and dropped by an unknown opponent.

      And I don't recall Floyd OR Manny ever having to resort to a low blow to get rid of a guy who allegedly has a glass jaw.

      And in those 3 fights, Keef pulled more fans and more money than Crawford's ENTIRE 147 run.

      So

        You're excluding that Crawford's manager is fresh off yelling and screaming about Keef allegedly asking for $10 million, yet here he is allegedly asking for damn near that same.

        Why is one ask ok and the other not?

        Especially since Crawford is NOWHERE near Manny Pacquiao's level as a BUSINESS draw?

          Bud's humiliating PPV buys doesn't equal what he's asking.

          Keef Thurman was the most viewed welterweight in free tv.

          This exactly why the Spence/Bud won't be made. Bud is too unreleastic.
          He sees Pac and Spence as danger, and want more money.

          Bud wants 50-50 split purse with Spence

            I've been noticing this guy is always defending greed.
            Doesn't even care where the money will come from.
            Same guy who admitted he doesn't buy PPVs.
            No wonder not many meaningful fights are getting made
            because of fans like this.

                Thurman didn't even quibble about money.
                He wanted the Pac fight and he got it.
                Zero report of demanding truckloads of money.

                  So
                  Lol resort to a low blow?? Wow that’s funny. Crawford was in control the whole time against Khan and the low blow was unfortunate but not something he had to “resort” to. Please name one moment in that fight where Amir Khan had Bud in any kind of danger.

                  Also, you say that Mean Machine was unknown but Ring magazine had him rated in the top 10 in 2019 so someone had heard of him. Floyd got rattled before by a top 10 rated guy in Demarcus Corley but nobody holds it against him because even the greats get caught from time to time.

                    It's most likely the reason why there's not
                    a lot of good names in this guy's resume.
                    GREED.
                    Matthysse isn't there. Jessie Vargas isn't there.
                    Pacquiao isn't there. All of whom were accessible to TR.
