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

[Oldskoolg]

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.

Lol classic. Well spoke sir well spoke

Probably. Why would he? He gains nothing from it. He’s 43, a future HOFer, a living legend, has already fought better fighters than Crawford, Crawford is not a PPV star, not even close, and Crawford lacks a good resume anyway. So if he wins, people will just say Crawford got exposed. If Pac loses, well that’s a loss for little money. It’s a lose-lose for Pacquiao. If he’s going to lose he wants it worth his while. Which is understandable. At 43 he has nothing to prove.

Question for you is, if you were in Pacquiao’s shoes, would you fight Crawford? Or would you look for more established opponents who have shown good PPV potential?

Pacquiao has not beaten anyone that is better than Crawford. Pacquiao’s best win was against Miguel Cotto. Cotto is not better than Crawford. And Pacquiao already fought Keith Thurman who is not a PPV draw. Errol Spence is not a draw. Ryan Garcia is still establishing himself. That leaves Canelo and Anthony Joshua. Neither of which Pacquiao will ever fight. And McGregor just knocked out. So basically there is no fight out there that is worth Pacquiao’s time.

those name you mentioned needed pac for their resume. pac wants to revenge to arum for what he's done to him.. so his best boy won't get the legendary fight that easily. arum needs to pay 40M and that includes his past corruption.. payback time..

Kell Brook (former champion coming off three consecutive wins) Kavaulaskus (undefeated) Jeff Horn (champion, undefeated, beat Pacquiao) Julius Ndongo (undefeated champion) Viktor Postol (undefeated, champion) Ray Beltran (KO streak after losing to Crawford) Ricky Burns (champion)

I'm a Floyd fan, some people are just haters through and through.

I’m a Pac fan and I agree with you 100%, these haters are not real boxing fans like us. They don’t give credit when credit is due.

[Oregonian]

Because he knows Spence beats him and Crawford loses.

He saw what Kavaliauskas did to Crawford and knows he can capitalize.

Manny's smart for his choice, give him credit. He knows.

——-
His choices are smart .... Brandon Rios, Mathysse, Broner, Vargas, Diaz, Mosley etc.

Next will be Mikey Garcia or Khan. PAC is not about to face Crawford or Spence

[Oregonian]

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.

———

What about Brandon Rios? Or Broner? Or Vargas? Or Mathysse? Or many others?

[GodfatherIV]

He does realize its a pandemic though right. 40 million?? I guess DAZN is paying 20+ million for Canelo. Even PBC jumped in with 25+million dollar off so maybe with a PPV stacked in the Middle east or in Macau, maybe the money is there but thats iffy

[Truth Serum]

So basically pac doesn’t want the fight because he knows Crawford would make sure it’s his last. Pac took 10 mil to fight Thurman but needs 40 for Crawford?? Lmaoooo Not let’s see what excuses pacs corny fans make for this.

Can't you say the same for Bud and Spence ducking each other using 200k PPV buys a justification for taking more peanuts than the other guy? If you dare to be great, pay the man or he'll make it fighting someone else who is daring to be great! Manny is going to be the last ever Mega PPV Event in Boxing! Everyone else is a PPV flop!
