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

...or he's not interested in this challenge so he decides to price himself out of the fight.

pac out of anyone in this sport deserves a big payday. get a grip. $40 million is low for an ATG living legend like pac. u also forgot that it was crawford pricing himself out asking far more than he is worth. crawford asking for $10 million when he barely sells at all.

Manny pricing himself out of the fight again. He's never fancied the job against Crawford.

He's been a great fighter but maybe it's time he retires

Does Manny realize it's 2021 and he's 43 years old now? His last fight vs Thurman only did 500k so asking for 40m to fight TC is just crazy talk..

[jonnyc420]

So Manny doesn't want the fight? 40 mil when you can't even have people attend is a lot of money.

[War Room]

Haha, Manny is a savage. Get them M's Manny!

pac deserves $40 million or more. pac is the boss now not arum. pay the living legend ATG what he deserves.

I totally agree! If you really think about it, Manny is the last of the mohicans. For real the last of maybe the greatest era on boxing.

[Bestlefty]

They aint 40 mill options , so if Arum says he cannot do that without losing loads of money so Manny then fights a B grader for 10 mill what do you make of that ?

Pac's legacy is already set. He can fight whoever he wants while Crawford hasnt fought an elite WW. Pac's last win was with Thurman.

Should be easy to make for saudi qatar n uae do it in qatar as a warm up for worldcup audience. Its not coming close to 40m in usa cause crawford would command 20m then so 60m total outside the undercard this fight isnt selling 1.5m to break even and or make $ pac team should tell pac take either garcia in usa for 25m or 40m middle east. Then chill fight mcgregor or masdival in crossover for mega check only place would get a potential 9 figure payday outside a canelo fight (we know not happening) so after the crossover fight amir khan kell brook in middle east or phillipines

yup.there will never be another pacquiao for a long long time if ever. he is a very rare once in a lifetime fighter. so $40 million is bare minimum pay.

and u'd think floyd fans would appreciate pac standing up for himself and being a smart business man. pac doesn't need to fight any of these young guns. he doesn't need them at all. he's already proven himself countless times, already has a stable job as a politician, philanthropy work, other businesses etc. these young guns need him. FACT.

Even before COVID that would have been an outrageous figure. Crawford is just not that known. Pacquiao clearly pricing himself out
