Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford

[Saisher]

I don't understand why Pacquiao keeps on fighting even though he already 43 years old, I know that a lot of us noticed how different the fighting skills Pacquiao as of this day compared before, he already proved to many people how strong he is, no need to fight Crawford but if this fight would happen then this would be a great fight, $10m is such a big prize. I think if Pacquiao losses this time then this would be the time for his retirement.

This could be his last fight win or lose because he is going to run for a higher position next year, maybe as vice president or president , and he needs a lot of funds for the campaign that is why, he picked the best fighter and a fight that everyone wants to see, and $40 million is such a huge amount and he can use that for his campaign, I hope this fight will push through.

It would be a great chance for Terence Crawford to fight one of the legendary boxer in the world and also the world champion boxer, and also if he will be able to accept this fight it would be an honor to fight Manny Pacquiao during his career because we all know that Pacquiao was really a great boxer and also it can be the fight of the year I am clearly seeing s good match between those 2 especially Crawford has a good K.O every match he is fighting.

If this fight will push thru, this will be much better than Mayweather-50 Cent match, in case. I hope Pacquiao will retire from boxing as he is still in good shape and there's nothing more to prove. What I am worried is if one of his fights in the future will give him bad shot on his body/health, that will make him regret fighting this younger generation.

They need to take advantage the situation while Pac is still open for fights. Because once he totally retires, there's no more of these lucrative fights from his end.

Crawford has all the advantage here, but this fight is winnable for Pacquiao. Forget about the honor here, everyone wanted to fight Manny not just because they can defeat him but the money that they can get from fighting him. So even if they lost they will have the biggest paycheck they will get.

But with Crawford, this is going to be a chess match, obviously, Pacquiao will be the aggressive and Crawford trying to play defense. But usually though, the offensive guy wins the match, so I would say it will be difficult for Pacquiao but he can win it by decision.

[Rruchi man]

Manny Pacquiao is favourite for me to win this fight, judging from his impressive statistics. Though Terence has an undefeated run with 37 wins and no losses, i believe he is no match for Manny coming into this fight with an impressive 62 wins and 7 losses.

For me, it always depends on the boxer physical condition that time because we always know that even though a boxer or even player had an amazing record, if his/her physical isn't good that time, it'll make him/her in a negative situation. But ofcourse, I will be betting in Manny Pacquiao not just because he is my kababayan but of course, I saw a lot of Pacquiao's game and I am definitely believe that every game he been throuhgh, he always have some progress in match. Eventhough as thr year passed by, and Pacquiao's age are increasing, i believe that he's body will get into shape everytime he will get into the ring. This match will be a good one. I guess this will also one of Pacquiao's favorite game in the future.

How about Triple G?

I thought and expecting that it would be Triple G but it is still great as you've said, with Crawford's fight against Thurman. Another thing is that he's also one of the boxers that his trainer said they have their eyes on as Pacquiao's next opponent. And about Terence Crawford, I thought he's being paired to Errol Spence Jr. so I am not expecting that Pacquiao would want him. What happened to that?

Remove Triple G out of the picture, what weight they are going to fight? another catch weight? not good for Manny's legacy, besides it's not a win-win situation for him.

Bud Crawford is a perfect fight for Manny, Crawford has been calling Manny as well, obviously for the biggest paycheck of his career, so it make sense that Bob and Manny sit down and make this fight happen this year. Will be the biggest fight and the money generated could be huge as well.

I guess there's that matter.

But yeah, I agree. It would be a huge fight if Terence Crawford's side accepts this offer. I don't still have any idea about Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford but I don't think that Crawford could have a better offer than this, that is huge money also. $10M is not that bad considering his last fight against Brook gave him a salary of $4M.

there could be a lot of reasons why he still wants to fight, it could be the thrill, excitement, money, glory and so on.

no need to fight Crawford but if this fight would happen then this would be a great fight, $10m is such a big prize.

just to correct you here, Pacquiao will not get the $10m. Pacquiao offered that Crawford will get $10m and him $40m. the title of the thread is a little misleading and should be changed.

also I found an article in 2019 where he said, "the hunger is still there".

Pacquiao acknowledges that he has been boxing for more than 20 years. He says "the hunger is still there.” He says that nothing has changed. He says that he doesn’t feel lazy, that he wants to work, that he’s so addicted to exercise he pays people to play basketball with him for five-hour stretches. So, yes, he’s fighting for his bank account and fighting for his country. But he's also fighting for something far more simple and intrinsic. “People do not understand this,” he says. “But what’s inside me, athletes and boxers, they know. They understand. I want to keep on punching.”

If he would resist this, there's only one reason, he is afraid to fight Manny Pacquiao  and want to protect his undefeated record.

Maybe $10 million is not big enough but in this fight he will gain the attention of the world as everyone will be watching this, and more so if he can beat Manny in this fight and that would certainly give him a lot of good fights to come, which means more money for him to make since he is still young.

He won't resist, he has Terence Crawford wants Manny Pacquiao first, then Errol Spence Jr.

And it's about time that this fight needs to happen, pandemic or not. Father time is not on the side of Manny, he is ageing and it's time Crawford gets a chance to fight him this year. And then we have a mega-fight in Crawford vs Spence Jnr. next.

[freedomgo]

I think if the fight happen it will going for the next yearn 2022 because we know there is a lot of procedute that yhey need to process before it's going to official and their tradining is mostly takes few months before the fight happens. The amount is quiet huge and for sure he will accept the offer and Many boxers wants to fight Manny Pacquiao in the boxing ring because he is one of the best boxer in the world.

Manny is aiming to make it happen this year, so I think we need to see it this year.
He is back in training for a purpose and this is the fight that he is talking, so let's hope this will happen as it's a new legacy for Manny if he wins this fight.

Win or loss, I believe it's still a great fight as it's the 2 best boxers fighting that will give great entertainment.

Floyd said, Terrence Crawford is the best fighter now, let's see.

Agreed, commonly, they give 6 months preparations to both fighters after the announcement of their match. It's only February, and they are eager to have this match, so it will probably happen within this year. Though, according to the article, Pacquiao is willing to fight anyone, so the decision is not yet done, but we expect it to be somehow good, unlike if he will fight mayweather which is probably lousy, boring, and lame.

But it is an aging Manny Pacquiao.

He's not in his prime which means he has a higher chance of winning now. The problem is that money since there is a huge gap between Manny Pacquiao's catch compared to Crawford's. That is a 4:1! That might go more on processing depending on how the two put their terms but I am already hyped since it's been a while since Manny had a match.

[FlightyPouch]

Manny will make a new history if he wins this fight as it's another belt or title for him. I think he will challenge  Terence Crawford here and try to take the belt from him. Since it's Manny who is challenging to fight, I guess that would make the betting odds more interesting.

The only excuse for those who does not believe that Manny will win is "Manny is old", but is he old enough to fight a younger champion? I think the answer is no as he has proven it against Thurman, we are not even sure if Terrence Crawford could beat Thurman.

This is his biggest challenge so far because Crawford is such a dangerous fighter he easily disposes of Jeff Horn when they met, I have never seen a fighter who is good at both stance and from inside and outside, anyway if ever Pacquiao losses I hope he's not, he'll take millions of dollars and will still add more wealth to his coffer.

Well, win or lose for Manny Pacquiao, it seems that it is a win for him since with that huge lump of money, there is no way that is a win. But since Manny Pacquiao claiming this fight as "to further add to his legacy" kind of match means that it is not just the money that he wanted. He want the honor that maybe he lost since he fought another undefeated champion in the past.

He's all in this match. This will be amazing.

Don't know if Manny if looking for better figures since as of his interview his body always seeks a fight since it's his passion to box, but for this if he can defeat crawford for sure it's another record to be set on his name and maybe a good achievement since even at his age his still can dominate in the ring, although it's not possible since we know how Manny fight but let's see if they seal the deal and this is a another exciting fight of the legendary Pac-Man.

It was Manny who ask for a specific price, therefore he is okay with the figure he asked, per OP's post, Manny asked for $40 million to fight Crawford.

As you can read ;

“We told Bob I get $40 million and Crawford gets $10 million,” said Pacquiao, whose last fight was a stunning win over Keith Thurman in July 2019 in Las Vegas.

I believe Manny is only waiting for Crawford's answer, if he will say yes and his promoter has no problem with it, we will see this fight soon.

Another challenge for Manny Pacquiao. It's been a while since his last fight and as far as I know, that is against Keith Thurman. I don't know how many boxers Manny Pacquiao defeated that have records of undefeated, this might add to that list and another great fight since we all know how Manny Pacquiao is aging.

We don't know how will Manny be affected by his aging age.

[Cling18]

Crawford has been calling out Manny Pacquiao, I hope he will not think twice of this and ask for a bigger price.

Bob Arum said Manny is old, so bring this game into reality and let's see if this old man will not dismantle your fighter.
Please bob, don't be a hindrance to for this to happen, this is going to be one of the best fight this year, probably 2nd to Fury vs Joshua.

Manny is indeed old, yet he's preparing well for his last fights because he wants to leave a good record before his retirement. We all know how dedicated Manny is when it comes to his fights and despite his age, he's still in a good shape and he's still well discipline. It will be a good match for sure but a challenging fight for Manny too.

[Dave1]

Even though Manny Pacquiao is good, he's old for the sport. In boxing, reaction speed and endurance are very important. And with age these qualities get worse. So Crawford has a much better chance to win, even though Manny has much more experience.

Of course, in any sports you rely on your speed and endurance and as we age, our body slows down and so is our movement. It also shows on the Manny's last fight against Thurman, although he started very fast and even knock Thurman down, as the fight progresses he slows down a bit and I even think he is gassing out. But with age comes accuracy as well and that separate Manny from all other ageing boxers. With his training and discipline, he evolved himself to throw with accuracy and hit his opponent perfectly. So this fight is a good match and could define Crawford's legacy after he retire.

Even if he lost this one then its just enough on what he had attained when it comes to achievement on his boxing career.If he lost then its just understandable
because of those age issues and its really just right for him to retire but it seems he wouldnt do such thing and we dont know on whats up to his mind.
When it comes to winning chance i do see Crawfords chance to win this one but hey, this wont really be an easy one.
