Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford

[blockman]

I agree! Manny Pacquiao could announce his retirement this year. Among his plans there is talk of two fights.

In terms of an opponent, Pacquiao has now confirmed WBN’s previous story that Mikey Garcia would be first before the ‘Pacman’ hopes to face Terence Crawford later in 2021.

My wish is that his plans are fulfilled because it would be a great farewell as every champion deserves.

After boxing, his next goal is the Presidency of the Philippines that the next elections will take place in 2022. There is no doubt that Pacquiao has the charisma, desire and preparation to meet this new challenge in his life.

I hope so that he also retires and only focuses on one career that he's really wanting to spend the rest of his life. He has the charisma but the other parties have a better candidate. But not to mention that anymore because this thread is still all about Manny's fight against Crawford which still has no information and update regards the settlement of it.

It appears that this fight is now dead. They could not get the money they were expecting from Abu Dhabi investors. For the amount of money that Pacquiao was asking for I doubt that they can make it happen in the United States. We have seen this many times before where there is supposedly a rich whale in the Middle East who wants to bring a big fight to their country only for it to end up being a scam.

Though some of us here were saddened to hear this but personally i'm not surprise with the news as i'm expecting this one already.

As i've said before, Manny asking for that huge amount is just him taunting the old man, Bob Arum and unfortunately the latter did not take the bait.

Now, this could be a big news for Mikey Garcia as he is the number one option for Team Pacman in his comeback fight this year.

I never thought that this fight will go ahead as planned. Pacquiao was being offered $10 million (which is not a bad amount, IMO), but he was adamant and wanted a guaranteed purse of $40 million. The demand was unjustified and in the end the fight had to be called off. If things go on like this, I don't think that Pacquiao will get a fight this year as well. I don't know whether enough time remains to organize another fight this year.

The stars of Manny Pacquiao and Terrence Crawford will go ahead as planned. Eventually met with Square Circle however what was billed as the battle of the century ended in a lifetime decline speculation began when both fighters were at the top of their game each time a date was set it was canceled when the promoters on both sides traded barbeque over who was stalling and then Pacquiao continued to face losses. Even if the United States decides to do so none of them want to fight.

No, it's not that way. IF you will read the OP, it says:

“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.

Pacman was the one initializing the offer and $10 million is supposed to be the amount that Crawford will get if the fight pushes through but somehow this speculation just faded with the news above this post.

With regards to Pacman fighting this year i think there is still time and in fact some said that he is on a light training at the moment, this is just a sign that he is preparing for a fight.

I'm optimistic that this fight will happen, Pacman announce in the beginning because he knows he will get a fight against Crawford, and though some experts are still underestimating him, it doesn't matter as I still trust him to win. I would love to bet on him if he will be an underdog in this fight, he is not old enough, I'm sure of that as his previous fight prove that he is younger than his actual age.

A fight with Crawford will not gonna happen at least for now mate. You can scroll above for the post.

Pacman vs Crawford did not get enough investors.

Manny could fight this year but it could be against Mikey Garcia which is a very suitable opponent for him at this stage of his career.

Manny have nothing left to prove and let's just be happy that he could get back in the ring even if it is with a B class fighter.

If the information shared is true, then it's a killer of the excitement.

Everyone is waiting for this fight as they know they can see a great fight and a real challenge for Crawford, but it looks like we have to move on and accept the fact that these two will not anymore fight. We don't know if that info is correct yet, so let's wait for more news like the ESPN news as they are more reputable.

I guess there's nothing to doubt that the information is legit since it's all over the news, you can type this particular fight in google and you'll be prompt with the information about the fight that has already collapse due to lack of funding. Maybe we will wait for a confirmation from Pacquiao himself since he was the one who called for this fight.

I am not sure whether this is the case. From what I heard, Pacquiao was initially offered a guaranteed purse of $10 million, plus a share of the proceedings. But he wanted $40 million for himself and $10 million for Crawford in guaranteed payment. And this is where the disagreement came from. The organizers of the fight made sure that they can't increase the purse any further due to the surpressed market conditions and due to the fact that the fight is taking place outside the United States.

The crowd and fans are with Manny and we know that he can confidently beat Crawford.

There were fights like this before that Manny was underestimated by many yet he beat his opponent with a knockout.

Hopefully they can agree with the amount, lower the demand from Manny and this fight might happen.  I guess $10 million is still a decent amount even at Manny's current status, if he really like to give entertainment, then he should make this fight possible.

I'm not one of them I have a strong believe that Manny still has it, a boxer is good on his last fight and the parameters is always the boxer's last fight, and on his last fight there's no sign of aging, but I have to admit Crawford is his biggest challenge after the Mayweather fight, I hope the fight will push through and there will be no delay, next year Pacquiao will be very busy for the election.

His name is bigger than Crawford, so its logical that manny must have a bigger price.

Plus that if this fight happen, it will boost CRAWFORD's career, win or lose.

But he can reduce the amount if he wanted this fight to happen, promoter will not make this fight happen if they will not make money, and it's understandable as we are in pandemic, so some would not pay for the PPV or to watch this fight live.

$40 million maybe too much, but if Manny's purse will be reduce to $10 million, that means Crawford purse might be at $2.5 million if we follow the same percentage of the original amount.

Manny Pacquiao  is a guy who promotes fraud like GCOX exchange . Why doesn't the moderation close this topic and mark it red?

That doesn't sound like it's related to the topic, let the law go after Manny if he really has violated a law, it's hard to judge him without evidence, we may not like him being a crypto man but he is a legend in boxing, we should respect him.

Just being curious here... who is the front runner for the 2022 elections, if it is not too early to ask that? I have seen some opinion polls that show Sara Duterte (daughter of the current president Rodrigo Duterte in the lead). There are rumors that Sara will run for the post of president, with Rodrigo as the VP. BTW, the current president seems to be extremely popular, according to the media. Check this:

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/why-dutertes-approval-rating-stands-at-91

I hope that she won't run because I am pretty sure that more human rights violation are going to be committed to continue his father's act of war against drugs that didn't bore any good result. Also, the problem with the statistics in the country is they are in allegiance with the current regime so you won't really get the big picture, extra judicial killings, incompetent government and no balls to move against China in territory reclamation

Its win-win situation for crawford since imagine his name is not totally known by the fans and now he have rumored to fight Pacman many fans are now curious to check about his background now, But I think this fight is not possible for now since maybe they will consider the sales since for sure they cannot get big revenues for that fight if they held it at this time compare when everything will back to normal.
