Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Told Crawford's Promoter - I Want $40 Million For The Fight

[Bronx23]

Put in perspective...
When they initially were negotiating this fight last year, word was that they were gonna fight in Saudi Arabia which is willing to throw crazy money especially at someone like Manny.

Manny is on his way out, actually he shoulda been looooong gone by now. Yet here he is at 42 and the main attraction at WW. He shouldn’t be able to beat Bud or Spence at this age and he knows that. So if their gonna springboard off of his legendary career, why shouldn’t he be paid handsomely for it? We all know that’s the only reason they want Manny.

Pac was getting underpaid by Bob for years & Pac stayed loyal. I’m sure he’s looked back now and realized what he missed out on.

Pay that man

This is a joke

For now, those numbers suggest the fight can only happen in Dubai with Kinahan drug money.

Pacquiao isn't getting $40m guarantee off anyone for either Spence or Crawford at the present time, so looks like he's happy to just sit on the shelf for at least a while longer.

Nope. Pacquiao-Broner did 400k and Pac-Thurman did 500k.

Fight would have to do more like a million to cover that purse. Not a snowballs chance in hell that happens... it'll sell the same thing as Pac-Thurman.

Fighting C and B level fighters make you look invincible. I take it back, just great because he lost rounds and got dropped by these b and cs.

why don’t you ask Jeff Horn who’s better between the two.

Hey Pac, we need you to fight Horn in Australia for 10 mil. Ok done
Hey Pac we want you to fight Broner for 10 mil? Ok done
Hey Pac we want you to fight Thurman for 10 mil? Ok done.
Hey Pac we want you to fight Craw...(Pac interjecting) I’m going to need 40 million up front, one of those flying cars from Back to the Future 2 and a unicorn for my daughter.

Horn will say Pacquiao, I promise you.

Pacquiao lost a very close decision, but he fought Horn in his backyard, on his terms, man-to-man. That's respect.
