The only way Pacquiao would fight Crawford is if the fight took place in the Philippines.

I’m Filipino and I don’t particularly care for that fight. Manny should hang it up and Bob should focus on trying to get Spence. Manny will be like 43 lol

I wouldn't wanna see that manny fight at his age right now lol. From the interview, I saw arum and bud both avoid the Spence fight. Arum "Spence will avoid the fight at all cost and I see him lasting only as long as brook."
I'm glad the interviewer said well that era everyone fought everyone. Arum had no response.
Crawford" want thepacquiao fight "
Lol

I think Bud/Spence should happen Spring/Summer 2021.
Then winner takes Manny in the fall for the big cashout.

Manny should fight Mikey or Loma and call it day. Tank would be an interesting fight too.
Crawford and Spence are too big and skilled for him at this stage. Bud would have been a tough fight for even a prime Manny stylistically.

From The Athletic
When asked before Saturday’s fight if Top Rank can keep Crawford, knowing that Spence and several other talented welterweights are linked to rival Al Haymon’s PBC, Arum responded, “That’s not the right question.
“The question is, ‘Do we want to keep him?’ I could build a house in Beverly Hills on the money I’ve lost on him in the last three fights. A beautiful home. Nobody questions Crawford’s innate, tremendous ability. By beating a naturally bigger guy (in Brook), decisively, that’s a big statement that he’s making.
“The question is, ‘Does it pay the bills?’ Look, you can have the greatest opera singer in the world. If the fans don’t support it, you’re out of business.”

Whoa, Arum actually said that? Looks like the writing is on the wall with Bud leaving Top Rank.

Should be no surprise by scumbag bob, wont be the first time he did one of his fighters dirty. Then again dont forget this is a business, no one wants an investment with constant negative returns.
This is what happens when you fight inferior opponents your entire career, no one cares to tune in.

Bob ain't lying though. Crawford is similar to andre ward during his pound for pound run where ward couldnt even sell out his hometown. Inferior opponents dont even matter. Ward fought kovalev twice when they were both pound for pound and roc nation lost money on ward on both fights.
If Crawford doesnt get lined up with Pacquiao or Spence, he will never be a good investment to a promoter. It just is what it is.

Don't think Arum cares too much about keeping Crawford at this point, he's got his top star in Fury now, and then he now has Teofimo after the W over Loma, will try to build Monster Inoue out here to have besides the Japanese Market, and try to build Shakur with Berlanga being a new potential Puerto Rican star
