Why doesn't Keith Thurman pursue Pacquiao?

arum wont let pac fight any top welterweight

 

Pacquio wants to cashout. Not sure there is that much money in a Thurman fight so don't think Arum would be interested.

 

Easy fight for Thurman is what you mean. Pac has not fought any legit ww's EVER.
Bradley, lmao isn't a real ww not could be compete competitively, like truly a close fight. I doubt Bradley wins (clearly) any rounds that aren't late coast rounds.

Bradley is the most over rated WW former belt holder

 

HBO out of the way? Whats going on?

 

At this stage of his career he is just looking for some easy money. He only has the WBO belt because they want him to have it..

I don't blame him, he has done enough in his career to reap some rewards now...

 

didn't hbo drop Pac? Thurmans a sho guy so a network road block is outta the way

 

I think Thurman knows that a win over Pac at this stage wouldn't enhance his legacy all that much. It would be viewed as a win over a "past it" great should he pull it off, which is no guarantee. A loss against old man Pac would hurt Thurman's momentum and legacy regardless of whether he's afraid to let that 0 go or not. So it doesn't make a great deal of sense for him on a risk-reward level unless he's just looking for a big payday, and he's expressed his disdain for the PPV concept before.

The path to greatness is there for Thurman with or without Manny. There are some top operators around the WW division and the Spence-Brook winner is a lucrative fight for the future. Keith's got his sights set on greatness and boxing glory. Let's see if he can beat these young, hungry dudes and make it happen.

 

Damn they dropped him huh? HBO is gonna be off the map soon I think. PBC and showtime will have the best cards. Then you have golden boy boxing on ESPN now plus I think Arum might have something in the works. Seems like promoters taking over opposed to networks.

 

I am not that impressed with Thurman......................

 

because youngbloods nowadays like garcia, broner, thurman is scared of a little og called pac...

 

Especially with Haymon and showtime working together & boxnation too

 

hopefully because networks became an easy excuse for teams not to negotiate

 

I would favour Pac over Thurman

 

IMO PAC should just keep fighting B- fighters and Thurman should go for a big money Ppv fight like Khan a fight seller

 

Cause he barely got by Garcia who is as mechanical as they come. Pac, even at this declined stage, beats Thurman by a wide UD.
