The real reason Manny wants $20 million to fight crawford

[LoadedWraps]

Earlier today, it was revealed that Manny Pacquiao wants $20 million up front if he is going to fight Crawford. Some believe Manny is ducking the fight, which seems to be the case if you consider what Manny is truly worth at this stage of his career.

The truth is manny got stiffed on the Vargas fight. He got a meager purse of 4 or 5 million dollars, and a percentage of the awful PPV revenue. Affter expenses? Paying top rank, paying his staff, paying Freddie? Manny is luck if he walked away with a million bucks.

He wants $20 million because he realizes that Bob hoodwinked him last time, and he wants to make sure he makes a nice payday if he is going to take a risk like that.

I am not even a Manny fan, and I totally understand his position.

2. 3-4 million USD

pick one

Relative to what he has made during his career, his purse for the Vargas fight was a major drop in pay grade.

He wants 20 million to fight Crawford, and Canelo's Team had offered GGG 15 million with PPV dib % so what's the difference?


But Crawford would severely outclass Manny, IMO, is it even disputable at this point?

and a' fixed.

So Oscar, Floyd, Cotto or Bobs biggest draws outside of Pac leaving over money weren't a hint enough????... Mikey and Chavez Jr leaving still weren't enough.

Floyd tried to warn him but everyone was calling him an arrogant prick for looking out for Pac.

He woke up too late in the game.

He did warn him, but nobody cared to look out for Manny. All they cared about was hatred for Floyd.

It's a little late now.

If Pacquiao is going to need $20m to fight again, he's never going to fight again, full stop.

There's not $20m out there on a Pacquiao fight any longer (and the Broner or Garcia/Thurman winner are the only big fights really possible, and neither guy is going to take that fight on short money).

Have fun in priced-out retirement.

He wants 20 million to fight Crawford, and Canelo wants to wait until GGG is in a retirement home to fight him, what's the difference?

Canelo and his camp are more than ready to fight Golovkin in September if Golovkin is ready to take his $15m purse and show up. lol

Pacquiao wants 20 and Golovkin turned down 15. Pacquiao is a much bigger draw and the A-side. So Golovkins demands are more ridiculous.

Pacman is past it and he is probably aware of that. He wants to get cashed out for a fight like that where he'd likely lose.

[LockardTheGOAT]

He admitted (before changing his story later) when he returned to fight Vargas that he was coming back because his current job as a Senator doesn't support his lifestyle the same way boxing did. So I can see why he wants as huge of a paycheck as possible.
