So what if Pacman has no interest in Spence?

    But from all I hear or read from Pacquiao is about fighting Conor McGregor. He doesn't appear to be prioritising Spence at all and I'm not sure uncle Al has the powers to brainwash Manny like he is with some of the gullible goons over at the PBC.

    SOOOOOOOO, if that doesn't happen is there really any point in delaying the Crawford fight? Plenty to wrestle out on the monetary front but nothing will get sorted until they sit down and talk about it.
    Wrong! Conor McGregor would be his tuneup. Pac still wants the fight with Spence. All three fighters are southpaws.

      You are right about Crawford because Top Rank won't over pay Pac or inflate his worth at the twilight of his career. Pac would want a minimum of at least a $15 mil guarantee or more to fight Crawford and Bob won't pay him that amount.

        Conor McGregor would be Pacquiao's warm up for a Spence fight?

        Errrrrr, lol?

        Anyway, even if that utter nonsense was true that leaves Spence free to take Crawfords belt and make the Pacquiao fight for undisputed.

        LOL, sorry, what you said is fkking ******.

          I can understand Spence going PAC and then Bud but nothing else is going to move any needles more than those 2 fights. And going up 2 weights to get squashed by Canelo isn't really going to do much for anybody. It's a pointless fight and to be honest Canelo clearly has no interest in Spence either.
          That fight doesn’t attract casual fans to the degree needed to make the kind of money Crawford would need to make up for the loss TR has taken. This is why Bob talked about manny/ Crawford at length on ESPN after Crawford’s last fight.

          He is trying to get Crawford in with manny hoping Crawford gets that bump and it helps bring his value up.

          Again, being a boxing fan means looking at this from all angles, not just the I hate haymon angle.

          Now you’re just being plain fake. Manny/Spence sells huge and is just as enticing for many fans, especially casuals.

          Also, stop with the fake “he’s going to get smashed by canelo”. Canelo is most likely to lose against more athletic smaller guys. Spence wouldn’t be going up to get a check.

          And, if Spence beats manny and Crawford, that is fight between the top 2 p4p fighters in the world, assuming canelo is still undefeated. You best believe canelo would be interested.

          For you to talk about pro boxing and not consider how money factors in is not being realistic. Money drives these fights getting made and always has driven them.

            I should write a boxing book for Dummies featuring you. Pac hasn't fought in nearly two years. He says he plans on fighting two times in 2021. If you want to see a Crawford/Spence fight then tell Arum and Haymon; Both of whom seems to be cold to the idea at the moment because they don't want to lose any money on the fight.

              Arum say’s the cold war is over. But I won’t believe it till an example is made. Still looks like to me the PBC champs aren’t allowed to risk their belts to the outsiders.
              Who cares who Spence fights though. He's been fight decent opposition.

              Why aren't we asking who Crawford is going to fight.. There are a few PBC fighters without belts so thats not an excuse.

                First of all NONE OF THESE FIGHTS (Not AJ vs Fury, Not Spence Vs Pacquiao or Crawford, Not Pacquiao vs McGregor...are happening without a Full Crowd so right now most of these promoters just have to wait and see what happens over the next couple of months before planning anything

                Texas will likely be the 1st to have full Capacity Crowd...which puts Spence Jr in a great position since he basically has the Keys to Cowboys Stadium Thanks to the Backing of Jerry Jones and the Jones Family

                For Spence Jr, running it back with Porter is a option, that first fight was great fight and a close fight. As much as he doesn't like Thurman, that fight makes $$$ so I'm sure he would eventually give in and make that fight especially if the money is right. Thurman need to get back into the win Column to build that back up maybe Thurman vs Ugas for that other WBA Strap would grab Spence Jr Interest. Or Maybe Spence fights Ugas himself which is another option.

                Unfortunately, because of the damn IBF we're going to end up being stuck with Spence Jr vs Abdukakhorov at some point just like IBF left us stuck with AJ vs Pulev and GGG vs Szeremeta. Once Abdukakhorov clear up Visa Issues I'm sure he still gets his shot especially with Lipinets vs Clayton ending in a Draw

                  Hopefully Pacman tells both of them to kick rocks and fight each other. All boxing fans need to stick together on this one. Spence is trying to use Canelo to duck the Bud convo. The same idiots that were addressing the reason why Bud wouldn’t be “Showcased” at the Spence/Garcia fight have been silent since Spence was “Showcased” at the Canelo/smith fight.

                  Show you how these guys aren’t real boxing fans..
