    Crawford: The Pacquiao fight was 95% done before the pandemic.

    Crawford said that the fight was 95% done before the pandemic made it impossible because a Pacquiao fight can't happen without a live gate.

    If Pacquiao fights 2 undefeated champs back to back that would be insane for a fighter over 40. Let's see what happens.

    yes but crawford ruined his chances by pricing himself out. crawford does a measly 50k-100k ppv buys max and he was asking for over 10 million against pac when the offer was 7 million in dubai. what a punk. he should be focusing on spence rather than chasing a 42 year old part time boxer. he wants a too big payday to lose small against pac rather than a reasonable payday and lose big against spence.

      Pacquiao was offered over 20 mil. He wanted 9.5 mil. A unified champ asking for around 30% is pricing themselves out? GTFOH.

        He priced himself out by asking for a higher guarantee than Thurman. He knows the PPV will flop hence he doesn't care about lower share of the ppv

        All that Minister of Health story excuse Bob came up with is ALL CAP!!!!

        CAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

          Manny has a working relationship with PBC and Haymon, why would he fight Crawford first over Spence? I think someone is lying to Crawford.

            Manny had a working relationship with Top Rank and Bob Arum for much longer.

            With Spence's accident, maybe he felt Crawford was the better way to go. Horn took the WBO belt from Pac, now Pac has a chance to take it back from the guy who took it from Horn.
