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

[Bestlefty]

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.

So much disrespect to Cotto. Cotto has fought Margarito, Mayweather, Pac, Canelo, Judah, Mosley in WW. The level of fighters and the names he has faced. Crawford has no name to show on that level Cotto has. You dont look as great when facing the highest competition. Cotto has fought in the highest level but Bud has not yet. So it is unfair to compare the two esp when Cotto cant defend himself in the ring anymore.

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)

Buds resume. Hehe great.
Horn the wrestler, with that bogus win? Everybody knows the story. Laughable. Atlas the biggest hater would bite you.

Always aim high...

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!

I think Spence is sucking Crawford. As far as pac, he’s no longer a Ppv star. Him vs Thurman did half a mil.

I love these threads.....

FACT: Manny can do whatever Manny wants. He has earned it. It is silly to argue his resume as some on here are trying.

FACT: The 40 mill is a non-starter and is simply a shot across a certain promoters bow. I bet Manny respects the bloody cheeseballs out of Crawford. But he is aiming this cannon fodder at the same promoter Crawford has complained about publicly.

FACT: If this fight or a Spence fight were to actually happen, it would be a Mount Everest kind of fight for the 43 year old Pac-Monster. He would be a severe underdog in either. It would be the last attempt by an all time great to try and wipe away any stain any loss on his resume has (cough... cough... Mayweather).

FACT: Manny is not done with his career. He is Tom Brady with gloves, a timeless wonder who somehow has stayed not only active, not only relevant, not only a champion, but the top name everyone wants.

LAST FACT: Regardless who or where or what division he fights in it will be absolutely on his terms.

So for Mr. Crawford it will be 40 million or keep stepping. Manny done say so.

Bob shoulda taken the Thurman fight that was 10 million only

Will arum and bud back out again?

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Pac should retire while he can still think. Let the young studs Crawford & Spence fight. That is the fight the public wants.

Then why arent they fighting. Fighting words I guess. Haha

Oh they fight alright. Blood has already been spilled....on twitter !!

[pasawayako]

This is a very small price for pac. Pac should have ask for not less than 50 million but it seems like pac badly wanted this fight and only just ask for 40million which is very cheap for his ststus.

[pasawayako]

Pac can fight mcgregor for 100million and for an easy win but pac wanted a legacy fight and that's crawford but it seems like arum and bud don't want any part of pac AGAIN.
