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

[Roadblock]

Pacquiao made over 20mil vs Thurman though. Reportedly.

His purse was 10, they get percentages and bonuses of the backend , same as now he will get more than the purse and that is why the 40 mill purse is a smokescreen.

Why would he throw that out into the public we dont need to know that, this is marketing to sell something else, time will reveal all.

Indeed....

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.

It's funny coz the realist **** is always the funnest.
Nice 1.

I’m not a Pacquiao fan. I’m a fan of making sense.

Pacquiao has fought opponents better than Crawford.

How is Crawford so good? He’s fought no one to prove that. What are his latest big wins? Two guys who used to be considered good and were no longer top 10 when he fought them, Khan and Brook.

The title of “best” is earned by fighting the best. Crawford hasn’t fought the best of his division since like Postol.

I will not give Crawford such praise.

So yeah, Pacquiao has fought better fighters. Mayweather, MAB, Morales, Marquez, Bradley, Cotto, Hatton, Thurman are all better fighters than Crawford because they all have better wins than him.

I’ll give Crawford the distinction of being, as a win, at the level of Jessie Vargas/Joshua Clottey. Which is not bad, actually a good win. But I wouldn’t list Crawford among the best. Sorry, 33 years old and has fought next to nothing in his career out of Postol and Gamboa. His biggest accomplishment so far has been to be regarded as a top 3 P4P fighter based on how he looks like against subpar opponents and guys who used to be good. Pacquiao put in his work with real wins and earned his #1 P4P spot back then, by fighting actual top guys regarded as good fighters by everyone.

Look who ever you are, you sound like a cry girl. Everyone knows how good bud is except for you by the sounds of your moaning. Tell me one 147 boxer today that's unified a whole division?, And barring pac man is there any one at 147 who's a three division champ ?

so when floyd demands $100 million it's a smart business move but when Pac demands $40 million. he's a punk a ducker greedy????? hahahahahahahahahaha the hypocrisy. give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cotto got $30 million. canelo got $400 million. floyd got over $200 million. but pac can't ask for $40 million??? disgusting sport. a 42 year old legend who gave everything to this joke of a sport than anyone around today should accept peanuts to put his life at risk in the ring against elite young guns??????

Careful they don't want to see real logic from you...if it's someone not of their skin color, they have hate in their eyes and won't be reasonable like they would be for Floyd..those are just the facts

Do you understand timing, do you think it could make a massive difference, do you know what Pandemic and live gates is, do you understand Manny already wanted 20 mill for TC and Arum said he would lose money, fighters can ask whatever they want, when they demand it or no fight and then fight a bum for 25% of what they demand then you know its all BS, they never wanted the fight in the first place.

Why are Manny fans such an ignorant bunch

[megas30]

Of course you can! That's precisly how it works.

Do you think Joshua should ask for the same money for Fury as he got for Pulev?

Not when your fans are saying he's a nobody. Not when you are not asking the same money for his contemporary equals such as Spence and Thurman.

Manny moved the offer from 25 mil the first time to now 40 mil. He just doesn't want to fight Crawford.

[Drew Bundini Br]

Been saying for last 7 yrs Pac was petrified of Crawford. Pac officially just confirmed it!!

[just the facts]

Hey dumb asz, this doesn't have anything to do with skin color.

Here's the bottom line, if Manny gets 40 million and Crawford gets 15-20 million, add in site fees and customary expenses. With live crowd being diminished, can this fight generate enough for any promoter to turn a profit? My guess is no.

[Pennstate110]

If Manny is asking for that much then he knows he can make that somewhere else fighting someone else...he trying to give us what we want..u pac haters just have hate in ur eyes...see skill not color...pac deserves a pleasant ride out into the sunset , it's what all real fans who love the sport should want for someone who has influenced the sport so much...he's just aiming high most likely too
