Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford

[Questat]

At this point, I don't care who is his opponent. I just want him back in action. He is already 42 years old and apart from boxing, now he has got involved with politics as well. The last time I saw him in action was two years back, against Keith Thurman. Time is running out, and in my opinion, he has a maximum of 2 years left in boxing. I checked the status of the fight against Crawford. It is still not confirmed. So I don't know whether we'll see Pacquiao in the boxing ring this year.

This pandemic really threw a curve ball to people like Manny, after all if he was younger he could wait until the pandemic was over or until he got vaccinated but due to his age he cannot wait anymore, he needs to get back to the ring, we must remember that this is not only about physical condition this is also about his fighting instincts, if he spends even more time without fighting he will begin to lose his ability as a fighter, which due to his age he needs more than ever.

Why would he wait when some boxing fights are already allowed with audience, I think they just have to do it in a country where they will allow an audience and I think the plan is to make it happen in middle east. We don't have a final announcement yet, so we are just still speculating until now but like I said, Manny does not have to wait, he can fight even with less audience or not audience as there's a PPV that will generate income.

Fighting Manny Pacquiao is a dream to many upcoming boxers just to launch them to stardom but the case with Terence Crawford is that even though he never had a big pay day now he might be dream of making them one day as he is having an undefeated record and the boxers do care about their undefeated record to make money in the final years of their career and fighting Manny even at his age is not an easy target .

Terence Crawford is not a rookie. He has a total of 37 fights to his name (with an unbelievable record of 37-0, with 28 knockouts). This dude is really a beast. If you have seen in YouTube how he destroyed Amir Khan and Egidijus Kavaliauskas, then you will understand. It is going to be one of the toughest challenges for Manny Pacquiao. It is definitely going to be more difficult when compared to his fight against Keith Thurman. If the odds are favorable, I will be making a bet for Crawford.

I will also be betting on Terence Crawford if this fight materialized. I think Terence Crawford is one of the best in his division at this moment. But the main reason I am confident to bet on Crawford is that this fight is not a really fair match. Manny Pacquiao is very talented but talents do not remain in old age. If they do, they are not as sharp as when you are at your prime. Doubtless, Manny is far from his prime already. I don't even think Manny is still capable of knocking out an enemy, especially not Crawford.

Bookies does not believe that Manny is the better fighter here. I read an article before and it says that Manny is the underdog of the fight, so if you are betting on Crawford, you will not get an equal win for your money. But of course, you believe Crawford will win so just follow what you think so you will not regret and you will also love cheering on the boxer that you are betting with.

How much is the purse of Manny Pacquioa on the Mayweather fight? I believe he made more or less $100 million in that fight but the purse, I don't know and I am also not sure if it's still Bob Arum who is his promoter that time but one thing I'm certain, he made a ton of money that fight.

It did make tons of money considering that this one is the richest fight in boxing history.
https://tv5.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/29107427/mayweather-pacquiao-revisiting-richest-fight-boxing-history

About purse then he had able to get $120 million on that fight.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2452517-mayweather-vs-pacquiao-purse-prize-money-payouts-after-main-event-title-fight

So the amount we've been talking on this thread is just too small to compare.

So there's no reason this fight will not happen, or at least Bob will talk to Manny if he can't give that $50 million guaranteed for this fight. Bob been in the business for centuries I believe, I'm sure he is clever enough to make a decision but it's good if we know the status of the fight ASAP so we would not expect a lot and we can move on.

Fight could happen depending on the contract or amount would get involved in the middle.If Arum wont see any benefits or would only earn penny then this one wouldnt push through.

He had been on this industry for how many years and he's fully aware on what are the things should be arrange for him to benefit out the most.

We cant really deny this pandemic did really make out big impact to this industry no matter how many angles you would try but due to lack of crowd then you would really able to tell
the difference when it comes to revenue.

I don't want Manny to fight him. It's okay if he's vocal about his "next" match but it's still in the hands of Manny's camp who's going to be in and out.
I just hope that Manny and his camp will ignore this guy. This is how it goes when someone craves for him but I just don't feel the necessity of it, there are other fighters that are worthy to fight Manny before he goes on full retirement.

Manny Pacquiao can fight anyone he wants as he is not fighting to safe guard his records like some of the boxers, he likes the competition and he likes to make money as he is in his last years of his career and you cannot complain him if he wants to make money and challenging someone who is undefeated is a bold move and i do bet on Manny Pacquiao to win if he ever fights Terence Crawford as we all know his skill levels.

He's not the one that needs to challenge but it's the guy that challenges him. He's also picky if you don't know that, he picks his opponents very well and they study it first. He's not the other boxers that want to have sure win just because some boxers challenge them.
He has to be critical in choosing after or let's say that this match with Crawford happens, he'll be more critical in choosing if there will be another match and I hope that it's not Garcia.

Garcia though already good as a boxer but he can't beat Manny Pacquiao .

Bradly knows that because he faced Pacquiao  3 times in the ring IIRC.

I also saw an interview on Bradly and he really said Garcia should choose another fighter and leave Manny alone.

LOL, listen to the old man,  . Not even Bradley but Reynoso stated in public that he will not let his pupil touch Pacquiao. So definitely, Ryan Garcia is already out of the discussion.

It's either Crawford, which we all love to see because it's going to be the biggest in Welterweight besides Spence vs Crawford, or Mickey Garcia, bad taste for us, but we can't do anything. The most important thing is to see Manny in the ring again and see if he can still pull the trigger.

it's a shame, that the deal between pacquiao and Crawford is dying down and the fight between Mikey Garcia and Pacquiao seems to be ongoing and almost done(at least according to an article). I too was hoping to see a fight between Pacquiao and Crawford. I wonder what happened. l

From what I have heard, Manny is training quite hard and he keeps himself fit on a regular basis. And the same argument was put forward before the Manny Pacquiao vs. Keith Thurman fight. But in the end, it was Pacquiao who emerged victorious. And if I remember correctly, back then Thurman was initially favored by the bookies, although the odds favored Pacquiao in the end. But I consider Crawford as a much better boxer when compared to Thurman. This time it is going to be tougher for Manny.

You are right, even if Manny doesn't have a fight schedule, he knows how to keep his mind and body busy. And that what's really separate Manny from other boxers is that he engage in other sports like his other love basketball. Unlike the majority who balloon in weight off fight and trim it down when they have a fight, not Manny.

Crawford is really a tough match-up for Manny, Crawford can clean-up the division except maybe Spence Jr.

That's why I think he's not a worthy opponent after or if ever this fight with Crawford has ended or happened.

There's a reason behind it why Garcia wants to choose Manny as his opponent. He attach to a popular and world-renowned boxer for him to have an easier boost with his career.

Of course, bookies are looking at matches with objective bases. However you look at it, Manny is the underdog in this fight. Crawford is no baby inside the boxing ring. He is one of the best pound for pound, if not the best. So I think Crawford is the favorite.

Only Manny's ardent believers and fans will think that he is really ahead on this one. Sometimes, being too supportive of a fighter will make a fan blind and cannot weigh the stats very well.

Keeping yourself fit on a regular basis is no training for a fight. Manny juggles a lot of work and responsibilities especially in politics. Of course he can always manage to do his healthy workouts though.

Crawford is not to be compared with Thurman. Thurman was inactive for around 2 years before fighting Manny. That is in addition to his injuries, surgeries, depression, etc. Thurman was a beast before all of it happened. After all that, he was no longer the elite fighter that he was.

Yes mate, I agree, probably the deal has broken down, Arum not willing to pay Manny a huge $40 million, such a shame. In any case, Manny has a back up plan, to fight M. Garcia, although it will not generate the needed hype because we can say that Mickey is not really a true welterweight, although he has a good showing against Vargas the last time. But Manny has beat Vargas already so it's a moot point to fight Garcia. All we can do is hope that Manny will fight either the best two welterweights before he retires, Crawford and Spence.

[boyptc]

That is good news then.

We will see him box for 1st-2nd quarter of the year and if there is another match.

We shall expect it to come om 3rd-4th quarter of the year.

The main topic is the crawford vs Manny fight, I guess even if this is just his fight this year and he will win, that would be huge enough. Making $40 million in a year, that's a hell of a money already, I don't want to look at the future fight, I'd like to focus on this upcoming fight.

Yeah.

If this match with Crawford. It's a one day big time paycheck for Manny. Do we have some source that this is like 80% that's going to happen?

There was no fresh update anymore, I guess that 80% probability of this fight to happen is not anymore realistic, we have to wait for an update otherwise we are just expecting and hyping this fight but it will never happen. Bob Arum has to say something because promoter is the one who will finalize if that fight will happen or not, as of now, no update from him.

I thought that there's already some source that says it's about to happen. We'll have no choice but to wait for any valid and legit announcement from any of the two or from their promoters.

It was only Manny PaPacquiao who announce that he will have a big fight this year and that is Crawford but there's no response from the camp of Crawford, maybe they are not interested on this fight or it's their promoter who are not interested to cash out a total of $50 million in this fight.

We all love to see this but probably Arum was thinking that they are risking the undefeated record of Crawford and maybe think that Manny ask too much for this fight.

From what I heard, it is the other way around. Terence Crawford was very interested in the fight, but Manny Pacquiao asked for a guaranteed purse of $40 million, which the organizers are not agreeing to. I would request Manny to go ahead with the fight even if the purse is a bit smaller. Crawford is an excellent boxer, and he has destroyed his opponents till now. If the match actually happens this year, then it will be really exciting.
