Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford

[Vaculin]

Lol, you only checked his record? Have you not watched a Crawford fight?

If you are a hardcore boxing fan, you certainly can appreciate the talent of Crawford. He may not yet in his prime but he is close to that while Manny is fading away. You could clearly see the depreciation of Manny's endurance in the Thurman fight. In the second half of that fight, Manny gassed out and absorbed too many blows, ATH in his career and if not for that early knockdown, he could have lost that fight.

With a bigger Crawford, Manny is in for the beating, for sure many would argue with me but that is how the way i see it and i would put my money on my speculation.

Well.. there is always a possibility. Crawford is in his prime and he will pose a very tough challenge to Pacquiao. But I remember the Thurman vs Pacquiao fight, and the same was said at that time as well. A few weeks before the match, Thurman was the overwhelming favorite, with odds ranging from 1.4-1.6. But Pacquiao won the fight despite his disadvantages (with from and age). The lesson is to never underestimate Pacquiao.

I heard the same, there were a lot of concern that Thurman is dangerous for Manny Pacquiao but they are wrong, Pacquiao even fight Thurman toe to toe and you can tell how much stamina he has because even though he was also hit by heavy punches, he still trade punches and was standing until the end of the fight, and win the fight.

The most important thing is that the Pacquiao vs Thurman fight lasted for full 12 rounds, and even then Pacquiao managed to win (and that too by a considerable margin. Both Dave Moretti and Tim Cheatham had Pacquiao winning by 115-112). Before the fight a lot of people were saying that Pacquaio will not last for full 12 rounds and the only chance for him is if he knocks out Keith Thurman. But they were proved wrong.

There's a lot of rumors that Pacquiao will fight again but this is his last match it's just all or nothing game for his career imagine a Filipino domaninates the ring of the boxing for a lot of years I think after this covid (hoping immediately gone) there's a set of the match for this. But this is boxing even though the odds can't tell the winner if there's an unexpected blow that can change the game it's done.

The stamina still there for Pacguiao and that's good with his age.

We really can't tell what will happened to this fight, but I'm also curios if Pacquiao will stand still as this new possible opponent of him' really have that strength to knock him down if he put he's guard down, but again, both side do the same power and skills it will depend
in how the fight turned.

He is still training hard and the ageing hasn't affected his agility or strength, as seen from the match against Thurman. However, if the fight against Terence Crawford actually goes ahead, then Pacquiao may be facing a much tougher opponent. I will be quite interested to know how the sportsbooks place their odds for both the athletes. The betting is going to be heavily biased in favor of Pacquiao (a lot more people will bet in favor of Pacquaio when compared to the same for Crawford).

[nakamura12]

I don't know if this could be the fight of the year. Even at the age of pacquiao, he can still fight like he did with thurman so let's just watch and see what will happen in the ring after they fight. Pacquiao still have his stamina and speed even he's 42  as of now while crawford is younger than pacquiao so it will be a challenge to see which one of them will win the bout. Many gamblers will surely bet in this one.

Many big whale gamblers will be here if the fight will push ahead.  Both sides are deadly if given a chance, maybe age is not the friend anymore for

Pacquiao but with his type of fighter he can stand up and bring his opponent down, he always amazed his fans, just like how he deal with Thurman
way back.

Crawford might be another type of fighter an upgraded one but once Pacquiao see some opening he will charge it and see if he can  finished it, very well we don't know what will happened just be positive that it will happen for more entertainment while Covid still here.

But did you guys know why Team Pacman chose Thurman over the other welterweights at that time? It's because Thurman has a long layoff because of shoulder injury and Team Pacman tried to exploit that one and they are successful but kudos to Thurman for bringing his best even though he is coming from an injury.

On that fight, i'm betting for Pacman to win and in fact i'm betting early back when he was the slight underdog and i won.

When this fight pushes through, he will be facing a younger and bigger opponent which is not healthy for him.

Maybe i'm wrong but that is what i'm thinking.

I would not be suprised if talks of a fight between Crawford will be called off and Manny will be fighting Mikey Garcia.

Please don't make it happen, this is a big fight and we don't want to see Manny fighting an opponent lower that what Crawford has achieve. This will be a big fight for Manny and if he wins, it will help him to be considered as maybe a GOAT in boxing, that if he continues to fight.

Who likes to see Manny fighting GGG if in case he will successfully defeat Crawford?

I guess there's no doubt that Manny could defeat GGG if he prove that he can beat Crawford.

Of course, Manny will not fight at the current weight of GGG, it will be a catch weight like they did with De La Hoya and GGG will be lighter but Manny will still be faster, that if GGG will agree knowing himself he will not have the same power. AFAIK, based on the articles i read, these 2 are friends but for the sake of money and entertainment, I guess they'll give it to the fans.

Pacquiao vs. GGG could be made at 154 lbs. The biggest opponent that Pacquiao has faced was Antonio Margarito who weighed 150 lbs. At GGG's age getting down to 154 might be a struggle. I doubt that it will happen though. If Pacquiao beats Crawford there are still good opponents for him at welterweight such as Errol Spence Jr.

[iTradeChips]

Those who want to see a Gennady Golovkin and Manny Pacquiao match really likes both guys eh. Well GGG has a lot of knockouts and with a very impressive record of 41-1-1, I would say that this is a fighter to check out for. But of course the only question is would Manny want to fight him? Manny is almost retiring in boxing and wants to focus on his pastorship and his political life, aside from the numerous businesses he has so basically he is a very busy man right now. But one can dream of a good match between these two. Someday perhaps.

He got a lot of focus in life but I think he's still putting boxing as a top priority and that's why there is these news that we're talking about. If I'll also be advising him, he should focus on any of those and just announce his retirement.

Manny gained a lot and reached his dreams and also helped a lot of people and can still help a lot of people whether he retires. There will still be a lot of opportunities that might come to him. If it's Crawford will be his last match then that's going to be historical or whether if he puts Golovkin on his list.

Juan Manuel Marquez comeback opens Manny Pacquiao door for the fifth fight

looks like Juan Manuel Marquez is open for an offer to a Pacquiao vs Marquez V. Is anybody interested in this fight? as for me as much as I want these to great aggressive boxer fight again I have a feeling that their fight wouldn't be as intense as they were in their younger years. what I want to see is for them to fight younger opponents to show that they still have it and wouldn't be overpowered by the younger generation.

Oh marquez is wise on targeting Pacquiao again and trying to settle out that fifth fight? Why he should be? He's retired and even if they do fight on and Manny losses then
it wouldnt really be counted as official so its useless but on the sense that this is really some serious rivalry then it might spark out some interest but i do agree
that this isnt intense compared into those years when these fighters are still on their prime.

That's a good option as well, but if Manny will try to be the 9th division champion, then he needs to move up. Anyway, there's no pressure on him as according to experts, it will take years or centuries before anyone can reach an 8th division champion and Manny will remain as GOAT on that achievement for awhile.

The article doesn't say anything about Marquez being open to an offer. The title is kind of misleading. I doubt Marquez would fight Pacquiao again. He already turned down millions of dollars and closed that chapter because he felt he has nothing to prove anymore.

I do agree with everything you say and i still consider Manny Pacquiao as one of the best boxers in the world even at this age and i do believe that Terence Crawford is a good match up style wise and we are discussing about this for a long time and yet they are yet to sign the bout agreement may be because of the pandemic situation but rumors are that they might be planning for a June bout.

According to Crawford's trainer, Brian 'Bomac' Mcintyre, the suspense will be over in a few days when they make an official announcement regarding their next opponent. He says Crawford's next fight will be in the Middle East on June 5th and Pacquiao is the leading choice but there is a backup option if they are unable to reach an agreement.

Yeah.. there were reports a few months back regarding this. Terence Crawford is happy with the terms being offered to him, but from what I have heard Manny Pacquiao is not happy with his purse. This is very surprising, since Manny hasn't had a boxing match during the last two years. If the reports are true, then he needs to stop worrying about the purse and agree to the fight. And he needs to do that soon, as the deadline is fast approaching.
