Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford

[Jating]

The latest news is that Pacquiao wants his farewell match to be at Las Vegas, which is deemed as the boxing capital of the world. However Brian McIntyre (trainer to Terence Crawford) has stated that the Pacuiao vs Crawford match can only be scheduled in the middle east. Since Pacquiao is aiming to run for the Philippines presidential elections in 2022, he may not have enough time for a match at Las Vegas, if he takes up Crawford's offer.

This is really a dilemma for Pacquiao, Pacquiao made a huge name in Las Vegas when he beat Ledwaba and he wants his last fight where it all started, it's legacy and money for Pacquiao, Crawford should be the one to give and understand what Pacquiao wants, and besides this is a legacy-defining fight for him it's his big chance, many fighters are asking for Pacquiao and Pacquiao choose him.

Crawford should be gentleman enough to give in and fight him in Las Vegas, even if the finances are not good fighting him in Las Vegas

Is he running for the Presidency?

In any case, I doubt that there could be gentleman's agreement here, everyone is up for the money.

I think they can reschedule to fit everyone' if not they we won't see this fight and most probably we will see Pacquiao after the election to be either chase fights or becoming the next Philippine president.

He can't win by himself, unless people will vote for him, running the presidency requires a lot of money or sponsors and I doubt Pacquiao would be a good president if he wins based on what I heard. Enough for that presidency rumor, let's tacke more the topic which is the big fight of Crawford and Pacquiao. They must agree with the venue and everything so once in for all, we will settle down.

[Lorence.xD]

Is he running for the Presidency?

God, I hope not, he is the most incompetent Senator in the country and I am tired of politicians that are all talk and no walk, I want my fellow countrymen to experience a good leadership, Pacman is a good boxer but that doesn't mean that he is a good leader.

In any case, I doubt that there could be gentleman's agreement here, everyone is up for the money.

I think they can reschedule to fit everyone' if not they we won't see this fight and most probably we will see Pacquiao after the election to be either chase fights or becoming the next Philippine president.

There is an agreement definitely, money is strong on this one. I hope that he will fight Crawford, I want to see some action that he delivers and I hope that his candidacy isn't true.

There's no need to reschedule this fight, hopefully it will happen in June because that was the first announcement, and whatever country it will happen, it doesn't matter as for sure there's no difference in experience since most of us will just be watching live in our TV, I'll pay for the PPV for this particular fight, I have to spend for Manny.

I am not from the Philippines, so don't know much about his performance as a senator. But if Lorence.xD is correct, then Pacquaio should wait for a decade or so, rather than jumping in to the fray next year. One thing I know is that Rodrigo Duterte is extremely popular. But he won't be able to run again, due to term-restrictions. IMO, Philippines needs someone like Duterte to continue the good work, rather than a public figure like Pacquiao who have very little experience in politics.

Yeah right, schedule should proceed and no more changes that will happen, the boxing fans are waiting and
for sure it will keep the fans away if there's another changes since it's long been waited.

Pacquiao's intention running for much higher position needs to think deeper, he's still young and he still got a lots of shot taking this position,
he can re-run as senator or go with VP.

But aiming for the Presidency, that really needs a lots of works to prove..

Manny is still young but he can already quality to run for presidency.

According to the "THE 1987 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES – ARTICLE VII"

Section 2. No person may be elected President unless he is a natural-born citizen of the Philippines, a registered voter, able to read and write, at least forty years of age on the day of the election, and a resident of the Philippines for at least ten years immediately preceding such election.

But forget about that rumor of him running a presidency, lets discuss his chance of winning against crawford.

I think we should have a poll here.

Yeah, the thread should remain related to the topic. Although it's about the presidency of Manny, it should be a separated thread on the Politics and Society.

And make this thread related to rumored fight against Crawford.

[South Park]

Manny should stay retired, why do boxers always get so tempted to return to fight after retiring? Manny has more than enough money, he should pursue other interests.

This happens because it is not as easy as you are trying to make it out to be, for how many years has Manny being in the world of boxing? Most of those that become professionals begin their lives in the world boxing when they are still kids or teenagers, not only that many of them do it because they love the activity and this has been the life of Manny for the last 20 or 25 years, so even if he has the money and political aspirations to look forward in his life leaving boxing behind is not easy at all.

You're not from our country but you appreciate the government and that's a good opinion of yours. But if you're going to the social media in the Philippines, there's too much toxicity, there's no unity but instead debates. And it includes Manny in that debate about his political work but what's good is whenever he fights, our nation is becoming united that's why I think he should have the match as soon as possible with Terence Crawford.

Fans all over the world would like to see Manny fight again, hopefully this year and hopefully crawford as he is a good opponnent with undefeated record. looks like it's starting to get hype, so probably its just around the corner and soon we will them starting to market this fight.

The potential date for the fight is set for June 5 but it's not yet 100% sure that this will push through

“no agreement for the fight at this time.”

many experts call this a dangerous fight for Manny because of his two years lay off and Bud coming out of a fresh win,

Manny Pacquiao vs Terence Crawford in talks for June 5 in Abu Dhabi

Honestly, I prefer the Mickey Garcia fight, Crawford is just too big and dangerous for Manny.

I remember the same argument before the fight with Thurman as well. Back then Thurman also had a very good record and it was argued that he is too big and dangerous for Pacquiao. But in the end, it turned out to be an evenly contested match which was won by Manny. Terence Crawford can be quite intimidating. But in boxing, agility and tactics matter a lot and I guess this is where Manny has the biggest advantage. I just hope that he agrees to the proposal for 5th June fight.

I agree with you on that, when the betting line was open, Thurman was listed as a slight favorite but then it changes when fight nears as Pacquiao become teh favorite, so no media can really change the trust of the fans to Pacquiao and he did not failed those who trusted him as he won via split decision though in the eyes of the others it was a UD win.

Time is not on Pacquiao's side, he will be busy next year for the election, so June 5 this year is the best date for a fight, he needs to fight this year, it's the only year that he can fight because of the coming election, and a Crawford fight will draw a lot of attraction, we can even consider this a mega-fight for 2021, we'll see in the coming days if the June 5 deal will push through.

That's right! he needs to have a fight this year and considering he gonna run for politics again, he needs to renew his popularity especially in this pandemic season where most of the people will be at their home watching him again like they used to be. We are getting closer to the second half of this year and he has no announcement regarding his upcoming fight. They really need to work for that because time is running out for them.

It's getting more hype because some articles have published the possible matchup date and that really adds tension and excitement to most fans around the world.
But until now, it's still in the rumor mode that we want to hear that it's finally a real thing.

Honestly, I prefer the Mickey Garcia fight, Crawford is just too big and dangerous for Manny.

Bradley said that Crawford is in danger if he'll fight Manny.

That's correct, while some people says Manny is in danger with Crawford but that's the same sentiment when Manny fight Thurman which is actually bigger than Crawford IMO, let's not overreact here, expert knows better and Manny himself knows he can beat Crawford that's why he challenge him.

There's only two impression that people could make neither they would go for Crawford or would be going with Pacquiao because each fighter does have its own set of fans where
criticisms and those assumptions would really be there so lets respect their own views but we know that majority will really be sticking with Pacquiao in terms of
experience and technicality but im not saying that Crawford wont really be giving out some good fight.We know on how good Crawford is but i would say that
it wont really be that enough to beat Pacquiao.

Let's hope this fight will be realize, that's the first step then we will start with our speculation. As a fan in boxing, we have our differnet opinion on this fight, some are bias because they are a fan of either Crawcord or Pacquiao, but that's what makes this particular match more exciting as people think both fighters have equal chance of winning.
