Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford

[iTradeChips]

I think that 10 million for Crawford is already a good amount for one fight with Manny Pacquiao. He will be able to show the world if Manny is still capable of doing fights with his age. But many of us still think that Manny is still at the top of his game and should be able to beat Crawford. But win or lose, he will bag a huge amount and I would take that opportunity if I am Crawford. So I am positive that this fight will happen and lets hope it will be one hell of a fight.

[ene1980]

$10 million is a bit low isn't it? Is this amount even confirmed? I heard that Manny is asking for $40 million. If he manages to get a fight against Floyd (looks impossible as of now) or GGG (the weight difference is an issue), then he can easily rake in at least $100 million. Anyway, if he wants to use the fight against Terence Crawford as a preparation, then it is OK. In that case he don't need to worry much about the money.

For Terence Crawford a $10 million payday means it will be his biggest payday in his fighting career and so you cannot say that it is a small amount and it depends upon the management team of Terence Crawford on whether to take this offer. The fight i would like to see is the rematch with Floyd Mayweather and i do not want to see Manny Pacquiao fighting GGG as i do not think it is a fair fight.

Not unless he's not satisfied with that cut and offer to him.

We'll never know what's the final say of Crawford. It is no doubt that many of the boxers today even the younger ones want to have a fight with Manny Pacquiao for it's going to determine their career and will have a better experience. Their career is likely to move several times if they'll have a match with him, win or lose unless Crawford isn't thinking the same as them.

Lots of people saying about Pacquiao and GGG fight isnt fair but i do see it to be much more interesting fight compared into this one sine Pacquiao
is really stepping up for another division or simply this will be a breakthrough on his career if he do able to beat up GGG. Sounds really a hard mission
but he had the chance and he wont really be risking out something if he do tries but since this do talks about interest and money then
its no surprise that he would aiming for it rather than on pushing it and also he  cant do something if other management wouldnt agree.

This is probably what Manny was talking with his latest update that he will be back this year with a big fight.

https://tribune.net.ph/index.php/2021/02/12/pacquiao-give-me-crawford/

“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 if Crawford will take this fight, it will be the biggest paycheck of his career as a boxer.

So what do you think about this fight, is it going to be the fight of the year?

Another news was their team was looking for a fight with Ryan Garcia but they still want to let Garcia fight other people near their region before fighting Pacquiao. Crawford might take the fight because that is already money and experience being added. Fighting Pacquiao for boxers today is one of their dream matches because they can prove themselves with that fight because of Pacquiao's record. Pacquiao is also defying the age barrier but he should start worrying about that because age can hit you at any time.

Woahh $10 million was only a 2.5% of what Manny Pacquiao's asked for in return of him. Maybe he should consider of somehow a much fairer diversified price offer to Terrence Crawford. But any way knowing that Manny Pacquiao already made a plan to get back on a boxing ring it was a good implication for me to excite watching boxing again. I didn't hope that in future or time will come that the r3match of Pacquiao and Mayweather may be scheduled, don't think so that Mayweather will consider Pacquiao's offer after he already defeated Pacquiao on their first fight.

Pacquiao would not need to worry no more, he proven that he can still fight, beat a younger champion and that's it, how many times we have to doubt him, age is just a number, just forget about him getting him as he is professional with good training and he knows what he is doing.

If it will be Ryan Garcia, then be it, I think it's easier compared to Crawford as they saw already the weakness of Garcia, but I guess fans would be excited if this fight will be realized.

Also, please put some source of the possible Garcia vs Pacquiao  fight, that would help.

Everything depends on Mayweather's financial well-being, but so far this well-being seems to be normal and therefore I also believe that Mayweather will not allow unnecessary risk and will not express his consent to the fight. I also don't think that Pacquiao will agree to 10 million and will continue to insist on the amount of several tens of millions, maybe slightly reducing his financial appetites.

It is very low if we consider that Terrence Crawford is also a champion and the best boxer in his weight division. I reckon $30 million for Pacman and $20 million for Terrence Crawford would be fair. However, Pacman’s team might be speculating that Crawford is eager for this fight.

I don't think it will happen, $20 million? His net worth according to https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/terence-crawford/ is $8 million only,"For his fights against Jose Benevidez Jr and Jeff Horn, he earned a combined $6.625 million."

So this will be his biggest pay check if the fight happens and he shouldn't push his luck with $20 million because he won't get close to that in his next fight, not even fighting in the next 2-3 years.

They can still reconsider this offer as they can make counter offers to that too if they are really interested in this fight. Reading some posts here, I think it is just fine for Crawford to receive $10M considering that he's fighting Manny Pacquiao. Manny always gather a lot of supporters and a lot of people to watch his fights, he's already a legend, there's no way he can't say no to this.

Obviously it is not about talent and skill when it comes to payment. Even if you are the most talented boxer but you have a low marketing or attraction to fans, you would still receive a low payment. Manny Pacquiao is not anymore the most talented boxing today, far from number one. But he still has a hefty price because he's got the legendary name and boxing fans are sure to buy PPV slots and live tickets when he's the one fighting.

Crawford is talented that's why he will have his large part in this fight. But what makes it the largest of all his previous matches is that he is fighting against Pacquiao.

That is even more than enough for him. They can even choose an underdog whom Manny could fight and will take lesser than that because the offer is more than with pride and prize that this match has to offer.

I dont think that if Crawford has to counter offer, he's not in the place to do that though, imo.

I agree with that.

What Terence Crawford can do now is to take this offer or not. If he will not be accepting this offer, this will be the biggest fight he will be rejecting. But with his recent fight against Brook, after that fight, he said that he wanted a shot against Manny Pacquiao and now it is here. I think we should set aside the money they will be getting, this fight will surely happen.

Yup.

There will be no next offers that he will take as the same and big as this match.

If the people's champ has agreed and asked for it, they should take it.

Promoters know what Pacquiao wants and his possible opponents just have to say yes or no.

I think Terence Crawford would like to fight Manny Pacquiao than Shawn Porter said on one news here in The Phillippines

https://mb.com.ph/2021/02/19/crawford-picks-pacquiao-over-porter/

I think that Terence Crawford will not think twice about giving a shot on this fight which will eventually spring his reputation to the top well in this fight I will surely support the pride of our nation that is Pacman I only wish he will be in shape before this fight because he doesn't have any match yet after his last match against Keith Thurman on 2019, Pacquiao is very busy with endorsements, politics, gym, and other business in terms in readiness with the fight I sure hope he would take a focus on this first his inactivity in boxing may sure take a toll in his performance because of this he gets stripped of his WBA welterweight belt and has declared Champion on Recess.

Great news, this gives a more chance that this fight is going to happen soon. I like how Crawford reacted on Manny's challenge, this is his time to prove himself more and at the same time, bagged that $10 million and probably a little share on endorsement and PPV revenue.

Terence Crawford wanting more action that is why he would say yes to that offer and having Pacman be the biggest money in the industry who would say no to it, but his reputation will be at stake here knowing Pacman was the big gun in the industry he would surely risk that record of zero loses,

I think after Pacman Shawn Porter or Errol Spence Jr. was the fight fans want to see for Terence Crawford, but still, I am betting that Manny Pacquiao can win this over a decision, I am not very confident that he can TKO Crawford given that Crawford is 33 and Pacquiao is 42 and the long gap of not having a fight after Keith Thurman.

I guess you are right. Then Crawford just needs to say yes or no to this. Manny is said to start his training this month so that means that the team of Pacman is sure that Crawford will say yes to this. I guess Terence has no other bigger fights, I don't know if he fought against Spence will be this big, it is Pacman so he's having $10M after the fight with the risk of losing his undefeated record.

I think I've read and watched somewhere that Pacman is training like crazy since his fight against Thurman as he is preparing to fight Mayweather, so he is not dealing a problem with training, instead with Age Gap, tho I can see him beating Thurman.

do you mean Crawford? the fight with Thurman has ended 2 years ago. but yeah I can see Pacquiao beating Crawford and vice versa. Crawford is a tough fight and I feel like Pacquiao will have a really hard time in this fight and to be honest, I have no idea who'll win. I wonder what will be the betting odds will be like.

Probably crawford will be the favorite as he is the younger fighter and undefeated as well, but odds might change like what happen with Thurman's fight, it was Thurman who opened up as favorites and ended Pacquiao as the favorites, but only a slight favorite.

Odds for me doesn't matter, I like if Pacquiao will be the underdog as I'll certainly put my bet on him.

Arum trying to play like a real promoter again.

Bob Arum says Manny Pacquiao has a good chance against Terence Crawford

And about who is the favorite in this fight, this is what the article say.

Who’s the favorite?
Obviously, Terence Crawford is the favorite to win the fight due to his age, record, and overall physique. At age 32, Crawford has fought and won all of his 36 matches, 27 of which came by way of knockout. He currently holds the WBO welterweight.

Meanwhile, Manny Pacquiao is at the twilight of his career and will be turning 42 this December. With a record of 62-7-2 with 39 knockouts, the Filipino slugger managed to remain relevant in today’s boxing world and is currently in possession of the WBA (super) welterweight title.
