(LOL) Terence Crawford Ducked Manny Pacquiao... TWICE!!!

Fighters agree to the contract first (see Manny did) and once the fighters have everything agreed, they go and try to find someone to pay a site fee. No hosting country or city is going to go through the process of getting the funding finalized UNTIL the fighters have agreed. Crawford did not sign his part of the contract and so NO ONE is going to provide funding based on the idea that he might sign.

 

Pac ducked the Magic Man Paulie Malignaggi in 2008.

 

shamelessly. and if you notice, he talks about fighting all these other cats, but he never mentions the magic man.

 

That is a false narrative. No one said that Crawford agreed terms. He wouldn't even sign the contract when Manny did so no, he did not agree to terms. The idea that Crawford is not at fault is silly. Manny, the A-side signed, Crawford, the B-side, did not sign. That is all you need to know.

And as for Manny, he should retire. The fight with Crawford would be a straight cashout but even the opportunity to get a legendary name in the ring was not enough for Crawford to sign even though he would be heavily favored to win. That is what I take out of this.

 

Not at all. Fighters who want to fight each other, do. People siding with Crawford would have a point if Crawford’s resume at this later stage if his career wasn’t so questionable.

 

Looking at Crawford’s resume, it’s hardly an oversimplification at this point. This is just who he is. He’s 34 not 24. At what point does he stop getting a pass?

 

Odd that we have not heard from Crawford yet.
