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.
manny generates well enough money and fanbase to deserve 40 million at 43 for a title fight. especially when everyone wants to fight him and hes the last of his era fighting pro at a high level. he deserves his 40 million. not his fault promoters failed to build the younger champs up to the point where they could generate that money themselves. and youre right they can easily go to dubai or china and get the purse for both fighters.Comment

Have you actually seen Crawford's fights? Have you seen the Postol fight? Crawford moves when he wants to and his stamina has never seem to be an issue. Ring IQ means you know exactly when to do certain things. Smh.
TC's long arms is actually disadvantage when he doesn't move like Floyd.
Long arms are advantage to counter punchers, because they create distance and force you to make errors, then capitalized. Aggressive charge forward fighters disadvantage themselves, because they rush in and smother their attacks and give up their reach.
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.
Listen, Pac has a great career, and take nothing away from him, but i was there with the rise and i know of the politics around his fights. I know his matchmaking has been superb. For example, Pac best wins or most popular are Cotto, Hatton and Dela Hoya. What if i tell you, not one of these fighters has a right hand to save their lives? They tend to try to double off their left hook, which is normally very strong, because they are converted southpaws. Normally when they throw their left hand, there is nothing coming off the right. Watch and see how a natural southpaw like Manny eat them up for breakfasts.
Freddie know exactly what is he's doing. On the other hand, watch the right handed fighters with educated Jabs and ring IQ, the Marquez, the Morales, the Mayweather, etc. Manny, at times, look totally lost and confused in there. Even a way past prime Mosley, though his IQ is limited, made Manny look awful. Another fighter with a right hand, a jab and a limited IQ, was Bradley, and see what happen there? Get all those combined---a sharp counter puncher with a right hand, educated jab, ring IQ, plus size/reach and you realize TC will be a nightmare for Manny.Comment

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.Comment

Triangular theories don't work in boxing. All those guys fight different styles to Manny's style. Not saying Bud cannot be clipped, but 9 out of 10 times, his style will be problematic for Manny. If i want to use triangular theories i could go back to all Manny's losses from his career and say see look what happen there. For instance, Manny struggled with Horn, while Crawford annihilated Horn. Mayweather toyed with Canelo, Canelo went on to knock out Krusher cold, does that mean Mayweather will be able to do the same to Krusher?Comment
