Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford

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:

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

Seriously? are you from the Philippines or not? because if you are not, I'm sure you are aware of what people think about the Duterte administration. he is not perfect but I believe the majority of the voters were satisfied by his performance and that's the reason why he has a good rating.

Yup, Sara Duterte is leading the poll for the presidency of the Philippines next year and there's a high probability that she will if she decided to run due to the fact that his father is extremely popular even if he is on the last year of his presidency and that's record breaking as most presidents in the past were mere sitting ducks on the last year of their presidency as their trust rating declines.

Manny Pacquaio is not fit to handle the problems of the Philippines, he is too good and people want another President like Rodrigo Duterte who have the iron will to instill discipline amongst it's people. That characteristics seems to be found on her daughter, Sara Duterte which makes her the frontrunner next presidential election.

Back to the topic  , I don't think that the fight of Pacman vs Crawford will push through. Pacman will demand huge amount if he thinks that he will have a hard time defeating his opponent and less if it's a B fighter that is why i'm thinking that he would end up fighting Mikey Garcia or even Danny Garcia.

If he can't get the amount of his desire, then probably that's the next option, both Mikey and Danny are good fighters, but they are not better than Crawford so most likely Pacquiao will stand as the favorite in this fight, and could be an easy win by Pacquiao.

If he will win in that fight, then he will still have the next fight, until he will find a big fight like Crawford if the pandemic will be over.

Manny vs Spence would also be a nice option, only if both will agree.

[boyptc]

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.

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.

It's okay, there's no need to admit it or not. We all knew that we're believing in his talent and we're not underestimating any of his opponents.

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

It's a different topic. I remember that gcox exchange that he advertised, he's probably paid for that advertisement.

It's just one click away in google, you can find a lot of news relating Manny and GCOX.

but the very question is how to prove that GCOX is scam.

Thats true, I think he is not fit as president as well. His good will might be misinterpreted by politics if he run as president and honestly people has no contentment. I mean every president in the position are criticize by people especially those who against of the win. Thus its better for Manny not to run and stay as senator, its for his own sake.

This fight has been on talk for long already and still no decision was made. I think Pacquiao will look for another opponent and unfortunately it might not Crawford.

The rumor is either Danny Garcia or Mikey Garcia, either any of these fighters, I think they could still give a good fight on Manny. They maybe not undefeated like Crawford, but they definitely have fought a lot of big fight that could prove they are a warrior and has a legit chance of beating Pacman.

Manny Pacquiao vs Terence Crawford fight reportedly “all but dead” for June 5

Mike Coppinger reports that “funding from Abu Dhabi investors never came through,” and the fight “appears all but dead.”

Reading this news, it seems that it will seal the expectations of others to see a Pacquaio vs Crawford match.

It builds up expectations and excitement but unfortunately, it's not easy to set up a high-profile boxing match because of the pandemic situation. Investors don't likely to risks money if there are circumstances. They want at least a live audience for ticket sales compare to relying on limited audiences and pay-per-view.

Maybe still possible this year but not on June 5.

The amount of money that Pacquaio is demanding would have made sense, if the fight was in the United States. And given the fact that he has only one or two fights remaining before the possible retirement, his demands are justified. But due to the pandemic situation, it is not possible to have a fight in Las Vegas. Also, Crawford is not Floyd Mayweather to attract a large number of PPV buys from the US. As of now, it looks as if Pacquiao may remain without a fight for this year as well. Not a good idea for a boxer who is already 42 years old.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

If Pacquiao doesn't have any plans to retire yet, I think that he should go with this fight because there will be more fight that is going to happen in the future with a lot of new generation fighters aspiring to fight him and I think that he still has the spark in it, not to mention that the money that Pacquiao is going to receive is definitely going to be big.

the promoter also has their own strategy because they know Pacquiao needs the money for the coming election in the Philippines. while he isn't yet a retired boxer, the promoter will likely negotiate down to its lowest because Pacquiao needs the publicity.  he still has the power at his age to knock Crawford though. i'm sure he can deliver a good fight that is why he still can demand a high percentage.

Well, boxing is business first before being a sports so I am not surprised that he will be getting more money but damn, I hope that these rumors of running for Presidency is not true, I have enough of leaders that are only for the show, incompetent and corrupt. I want to experience a good leadership, I deserve it as a citizen of the Philippines.

It's been a long time since Pacman last fight. this fight is very important not only for business but also for political reason i guess. Even Crawford maybe will not attract a large PPV but this battle will be more better to watch than Pacman vs Mayweather match

[South Park]

Bringing politics here will make the discussino uninteresting.

I'm not sure why you guys bringing politics, it would only make people from the Philippines interested, maybe some would be intersted but they really don't know what's happening in the Philippines, they will presume that beause Manny is a good boxer, a humble and a good one, he will also be a good politician.

Let's stop discussing that, let's discuss more on the speculation of this fight, will it gonna be happening soon or not?

It is inevitable, this thread is about Manny Pacquiao and he is also a politician so it is obvious that people are going to bring that up because this is going to affect his performance on the ring, if he is more interested on becoming successful as a politician then we could not see much of Manny on the ring from now on and taking into account he has a decent shot at becoming a president during the next decades then I do not see anything wrong with people bringing that stuff up.

PPV will attract more because of Manny himself that's why most of his fights are raking with huge profit through PPV because of him. There's even no official announcement yet if this fight will happen yet we're already comparing it to another fight that he did before.

I'm not really sure if this fight will happen because there's already a news that Pacquiao vs Mikey Garcia is almost done and they have a venue already this July.

Pretty much all of us will be disappointed if Pacquiao vs Crawford will be postponed. This is what Manny's fan are all wanting to see this year and this could be the biggest fight for 2021. I guess the pandemic really change the complexion of Pacquiao vs Crawford because there's no one who is willing to cover the fight with huge money.

We can't call it as postponed as that fight will not happen, probably cancelled and we don't know if both fighters will have a chance to meet each other in the future. One undefeated fighter against Manny, I think Spence could give that, if he is not afraid of the legend.

That news is also a rumor but we now have two expectations whichever is going to be the fight that will happen. I don't know what's next with such news and rumors. If both of these won't happen.
Then what's next? Garcia vs. Crawford?

The rumor of Manny fighting Crawford did not came from the camp of the Filipino senator, maybe the camp of Crawford were the ones responsible on spreading that while the rumors of a fight between Manny and Mikey Garcia came directly from an individual who have knowledge on what's going on inside Team Pacquiao so i could that the latter rumor have a 95 percent probability of being true  .

Garcia vs Crawford? No, they all are after Manny.

The information on what OP had shared _https://tribune.net.ph/index.php/2021/02/12/pacquiao-give-me-crawford/... it tells that it was coming from Manny, so if that website or news is fake, then we can conclude that it's not coming from Manny, but anyway, it did not happen so it does not matter anymore.

Yea, every welterweight is still after Manny because he is still the A-side despite his age.

And I think that everyone that fought Manny has had their biggest payday, including Garcia and Crawford. But it seems that Garcia is the winner here as he might get to Manny first before Crawford. If Manny wins then probably Pacquiaio vs Garcia next in 2022 and maybe before the Philippine election.

Manny Pacquiao challenged Floyd Mayweather once. He accepted that challenge and defeated Pacquiao. Then Pacquiao wanted a rematch, but Mayweather was not in favor saying that he will never fight more than once against the same opponent. The original fight generated huge amount of revenues, and both Pacquiao and Mayweather benefitted from it. But that was 6 years ago. With Pacquiao close to retirement, you can't expect the same amount of hype and revenues.
