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

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Don't move the goal posts. We are talking about kill set and IQ. Terence himself may not have beaten a prime hall of famer, but he's heading into the hall of fame one day. Any fighter can beat an all of famer if he catches him at the right time in his career, so please avoid the nonsensical arguments.

However, styles make fight, not who you have beaten. TC's style is all wrong for Manny, past or present. His style is the one that always present a problem for Manny. Freddie said it himself that he wants Manny away from TC, because Crawford is Floyd all over again with more power. Why do you think Manny has been avoiding this fight?

Name one hall of famer TC fought. Just one. Anybody could look good against reg fighters or bums. Loma hasn't fought a hall of famer too. But his skills tho? his IQ is godlike right? loses to Salido/Teofimo.

Is he asking for 40 mil across the board for everyone including Spence and Mikey? If not, then that 40 mil for Crawford is definitely a duck.

Of course it’s probably not the same across the board. Fighting TC would require more effort for him to win and a greater risk of not just losing, but physical harm and thus damage to his legacy. Would you take the same money for different jobs irrespective of the varying difficulty and danger posed by each?

Why are there so many people that willingly act ****** or are just legitimately ****** on here.

Let the young studs Crawford & Spence fight.

Young studs?

That is not how it works, lad. You are using triangular theories. This has never worked in the boxing. Again, old heads will tell you that styles make fight. Crawford's style of fighting is nightmare for Manny prime or old.

What if I say to you that Crawford's style is perfect for Manny?

People tend to overrate a fighter just for being undefeated. Ask Warrington.

So, in other words, he's afraid? Then why does he say he doesn't back down all the while putting up a 40mil wall between himself and TC?

Then i would say....how so?

Flat footed. A bigger target than Thurman. TC's long arms is actually disadvantage when he doesn't move like Floyd. His jabs won't matter if you also can't move as big as you are. Even if he magically adapted a great footwork for this camp, he's gunna need an IV fluid. He's too big to be moving around with that intensity for full 12 rounds.

But who the hell is the average fan to determine what Pac deserves? Did AJ deserve over $60m in AJ-Ruiz 2 after getting destroyed in the first fight? Did Canelo deserve a flat fee $30m plus?

Those numbers you quoted are just guarantees..the contractually guaranteed purse for Wilder-Fury 2 was only $5m each..I’m damn sure Pacquiao would have earned way more than that. And if he didn’t earn far more, then I’d put the blame squarely at Arum’s feet because there’s no way a living ATG and one of the highest selling PPV stars of all time should be on that money, when you look at what the other stars are getting.

Besides, PPV money is just one part of the overall money pot. Let Arum or whoever find some Arab money for the site fee and pay the man.

ummm fans are the main driving force behind determining what a fighter gets. And obviously canelo didn’t deserve that money which is why his contract fell through after only 3 fights. This isn’t 2010 and pac is no longer the same draw. He’s pricing himself out plain and simple.

Pac should not mention people that he doesn’t actually intend to fight. He is raising expectations but seemingly is just blowing smoke.... and he is also holding up the division cause everyone wants that Pc legacy fight. Pac should just keep a low profile and take the easy fights he wants (he deserves it and has nothing to prove).

He was holding up the division when he was full WBA champ. At this point, now that he's belt less, he can say or fight whoever he wants
